Our Verdict

Samsung CU7000/CU7000D

Samsung DU8000

The Samsung DU8000 and the Samsung CU7000/CU7000D are similar TVs, each with their strengths. The DU8000 has a wider color gamut and better color volume, so colors are more lifelike and vibrant on it. The DU8000 also has better pre-calibration accuracy, with an overall image closer to the content creator's intent. However, the CU7000 has more calibration options, so it's more accurate after calibration. The CU7000 also has better contrast for deeper blacks during dark scenes, and it gets brighter in SDR, so it overcomes a bit more glare in rooms with the lights on.
