    Reviewer score 73% (normalized by Neofiliac)
    Reviewers from t3 have found:
    The Samsung AU9000 delivers very satisfying and convincing images, sounds a bit rough, and has one of the best smart TV interfaces around. With a body just 26mm thick, it's as slim as some screens costing five times this amount, or more – and it's certainly slimmer than that big bulgy bit on that OLED TV. It's a properly flat flatscreen, and though there aren't many things people will pay more for to get less of, TV depth is one of them.
    Pros
    • Excellent picture quality
    • Excellent smart TV interface
    • Excellent gaming chops
    Cons
    • No Dolby Vision or HDR10+
    • No HDMI 2.1

    Reviewers from techradar have found:
    There's decent depth to black tones, and they're very acceptably detailed at the same time. Backlighting control is confident too, and even the darkest scenes with minimal lighting resist significant blooming or haloing. The colour palette, too, is naturalistic and wide-ranging. Skin-tones are convincing, with more than enough fine detail carried over to make the subtleties of a complexion obvious.
    Pros
    • Impressive picture quality
    • Excellent upscaling of lower-resolution content
    Cons
    • No Dolby Vision or HDR10+
    • No built-in soundbar
