According to our television expert
With he Samsung Crystal UHD 65BU8000 (2022) and the Samsung HW-B550, you can create your own home cinema. Thanks to the Crystal 4K processor, the television displays bright and colorful images. The processor also makes the tv very fast, so you can quickly switch between your favorite apps, live television, and the internet in the Tizen smart hub. That way, you can watch your favorite movies on Netflix and listen to your favorite artists on Spotify. You can easily connect your mobile device to the television via WiFi. This way, you can show your photos and videos directly on the television. When you're not using the television, you can enjoy a beautiful image thanks to Ambient Mode. For example, you can display a slide show of your vacation photos, view the weather forecast, or read the latest news. The television includes the Solar One Remote. This remote charges itself with artificial light and daylight, so batteries are a thing of the past.
With this Samsung HW-B550, you can enjoy a powerful sound with all your favorite content. This soundbar has an HDMI connector and an optical connector, and connects to your television wirelessly via Bluetooth. That way, you can choose if you want to connect the soundbar wired or wirelessly. Thanks to the included subwoofer, you can listen to the deepest bass in addition to the clear sound of the soundbar. Turn on Bass Boost to emphasize the bass. When you do this, an explosion in a movie sounds extra powerful. Adaptive Sound Lite automatically adjusts the sound to what you're watching, for a better sound reproduction.

In itself, the image of this television is fine, although it does take some getting used to certain color combinations and you will want to adjust a number of things to taste. The number of HDMI connections (3) is comfortable and the workability of menus, etc. is fine (after a short getting used to). Remote control somewhat limited but workable.
Biggest problem is (just like last year's performance when I read reviews), the sound ... shrill and tinny. Adjustment is hardly possible and this will only be solvable with a separate soundbar or the like. Linking, for example, nest or the like does not work, then the sound is reasonable but synchronization does not work (image/sound always delayed in relation to each other).
