Our Verdict

Samsung TU690T

Samsung CU8000

The Samsung TU690T is slightly better than the Samsung CU8000 for the most part. The TU690T offers better accuracy out-of-the-box, a wider viewing angle, and better contrast. The TU690T also has a much faster response time, so motion in games and sports is much more clear, with less blur around fast-moving objects.
