Our Verdict

Samsung CU8000

Samsung DU6900

The Samsung CU8000 and Samsung DU6900 trade blows, but the latter is definitely the better option for gamers due to its noticeably faster response time, and inclusion of a barebones VRR feature. The DU6900 is also slightly brighter in HDR, with better reflection handling, making it a bit easier to use in rooms with a few lights. Inversely the CU8000 has slightly better contrast and a far wider color gamut, so HDR movies watched in dark rooms are a bit more impactful than on the DU6900.
