Slim form factor
For an entry-level TV, the Samsung model has several interesting design features. Firstly, it has a thin form factor, and the thickness of 26 mm is more typical for devices in the higher price segment. Secondly, although there is a typical stand with two legs, it is possible to adjust its height, which, for example, allows you to place a soundbar under the Samsung UE-43CU8002.
Proprietary OS and practical remote control
The smart functionality of the model is revealed thanks to the proprietary Tizen 2023 platform. It pleases with a convenient interface, smooth operation (including due to reduced animation compared to expensive TVs) and a rich selection of applications for installation. To interact with the OS, a convenient remote control with a microphone for voice control (and / or dialogue with various assistants, such as Bixby, Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant) is offered. Instead of batteries, a battery is installed here, which can be charged either via USB C or from solar energy.
Great color range
The image on the 43-inch 4K screen is characterized by moderate contrast and color accuracy, and minor adjustments will help to achieve maximum realism of the picture. The brightness reserve here is expectedly insufficient for HDR content to cause a wow effect. But the excellent color gamut and wide coverage of shades (including thanks to Dynamic Crystal Color technology) make the image rich and colorful, which will give a pleasant experience from various content - movies, sports broadcasts and games.
Especially for gamers, an automatic transition to gaming mode (ALLM function) is implemented at the HDMI interface level. Among other features, one can highlight the standard 20-watt acoustics and a digital TV tuner with support for terrestrial and cable broadcasting standards.
The Samsung UE-43CU8002 is a great choice if you want a slim TV with a quality picture for a reasonable price.
