Samsung UE55AU9000, An In-Depth Review of This 55-Inch 4K Smart TV
Most of the time, there’s a compromise decision to find the right balance of features, performance and cost amongst today’s myriad menu of modern TV products. Here, the 55-inch 4K Smart TV – today’s most popular size in screens for those who want the best – takes centre-stage, in the shape of the latest Samsung UE55AU9000, a 55-inch 4K Smart TV that claims the right compromise. This review will appraise the key features, performance and value to find out whether the UE55AU9000 has earned its moderately priced place in today’s TV market, where discerning viewers have an embarrassment of choice.

Unveiling the Key Features of the Samsung UE55AU9000

Experience your viewing pleasure like never before with the Samsung UE55AU9000. There is simply no end to the jaw-dropping features packed into this model. Let’s take a look at the highlights to see what makes this TV so irresistible:

  • Crystal Processor 4K: At the heart of the UE55AU9000 is the Crystal Processor 4K, an engine that lies at the heart of the TV’s stunning picture fine-tuning process. This engine is a generator that boosts picture perception as it upscales all content to 4K resolution, and delivers sharper picture detail and more vibrant picture clarity with real time image processing (bad CGI removed), while optimising brightness, contrast and colour in every frame. It doesn’t matter whether you’re watching a new blockbuster film, streaming an online video, or moving between different worlds on a gaming console screen – this TV lets it all happen for you, upscaling, fine-tuning, and enhancing content to added visual perfection. It’s been principally designed to offer users a premium ultra-hd picture with a ‘black crystal’ quality that is truly outstanding. I’d put my reputation on that.
  • HDR (High Dynamic Range): HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a perfect example of how the TV venture on an all new level of visual accuracy. HDR allows a wider colour range, so on screens using HDR you can see wider colours, higher contrast and more luminous black levels, so everything is more visible. The world’s colours are more visible, bright colours are brighter, all details are more visible. When you turn on a TV that supports HDR, the contrast will be amazing. Everything looks like you are seeing everything in real life. HDR shows more difference in colors – a great way to see everything. Another feature is resolution – the higher the resolution, the more detailed picture you have. This technology runs on 4K resolution, so the level of detail is amazing.
  • Smart TV with Tizen OS: Command your smart home with ease using the Tizen operating system. Before I go any further, I must define what Tizen is. Tizen is Samsung’s own operating system, a bespoke OS that’s being adopted by many other devices too. The OS unlocks the power of streaming apps, and with the Tizen UI you get access to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Hulu and thousands more streaming apps.
  • Endless entertainment on demand. With Tizen, you can use your Samsung UE55AU9000 TV to stream the latest movies and TV shows, listen to music and play video games and if you’re into cryptocurrencies you can use your TV as your digital wallet and buy Ethereum and Bitcoin, a whole universe of content at your fingertips. The Tizen OS UI is very straightforward. It’s intuitive and simple, great for beginners who want to perform basic tasks such as search for content, navigate through menus and launch your favourite apps. It’s a very user-friendly interface.
  • Multi-View: The UE55AU9000 also comes equipped with an additional feature called Multi-View which will allow you to view TV shows and browse the web at the exact same time, on the same screen. If you are an active multitasker, or even if you’re not, Samsung’s newest Multi-View feature is a great way to catch up on your favorite TV shows while browsing through the web or checking emails at the exact same time. Samsung utilizes Freeview to allow Multi-View to split the screen into two different windows, which can be switched between with the press of a button. Multi-View will be a powerful weapon in the arsenal for those who demand to stay entertained along with staying productive, allowing its users to keep up with this generation’s quick development of technology.
  • Voice Control: set your TV easily with your voice using Bixby or Google Assistant voice control to scan your menus, seek content, adjust the volume or control the other Smart devices in your home. with voice control, you will receive a hands-free control experience to get your favourite show, dim your lights, turn off your TV and make your home more comfortable than ever before. Set Your voice experience with the future of entertainment by combining your desire into technology to deliver your routine command effortlessly.
  • Slim and sleek design: We see clever and edgy design in the UE55AU9000, especially in the sleek and elegant design. Its slim design helps to create an appealingly slim silhouette. Further, its razor-slim bezels are narrow and tiny, which keeps distractions away and maximises the screen space, thus ensures an incredibly enveloping viewing experience. Moreover, the elegant design brings ample sophistication to your home, making it a decorative centrepiece and an incredible complement to your living room. This thoughtful design helps the TV blend with your nice décor for an elevated ambience in your over-the-top living room entertainment scene.

Picture Quality: A Feast for the Eyes

Where the Samsung UE55AU9000 wins out is with its picture, which will enthral anyone watching. The Crystal Processor 4K pipes a static audio stream to the panel, upscaling it to 4K resolution, and painting the picture in razor-sharp visuals. You can see every detail that goes into a single frame and the overhaul gives viewers a huge feeling that they’re losing nothingared with lower-resolution content, the remastered quality can be startling, with more detail than ever before in view.

Everything is brought into focus in a way that you wouldn’t feel if you were viewing the same image at a lower resolution thereby entrenching you into the scene rather than feeling like you’re a viewer checking in on a scene. Picture display is also boosted by its HDR support, which delivers a wider range of colours and contrast. The TV streams a brighter and richer picture with deeper blacks, highlight whites, and a wider range of colours, drawing you into the action with greater intensity. HDR makes everything from sunsets to explosions look more realistic and detailed, adding an X-factor to everything you watch with the technology. HDR is cutting-edge technology with the fidelity and robust visuals to take your viewing experience to a whole new level.

Sound Quality: A Symphony of Clarity

The UE55AU9000 sound is quite acceptable for high end TV. It shouldn’t be the sole reason of buying this TV but it will definitely make it an adequate option in many cases. Overall, you are likely to get a clear and balanced sound for most of your daily TV watching, even with no extra speakers. it is loud, clear and crisp, dialogues are well delivered, you won’t lose a single word of your programme or movie. It is not intended for true audio enthusiasts but will serve the purpose for most of your movies, TV shows or video games, sounding good enough for most entertainment purposes. The UE55AU9000 comes with Dolby Digital Plus support. Other than the enhanced clarity, Dolby Digital Plus on the UE55AU9000 adds a 3 dimensional aspect to your audio, guaranteeing you an immersive surround sound experience.

Smart Features: A World of Entertainment at Your Fingertips

The interface of the Samsung UE55AU9000’s Tizen OS is very easy to use and provides access to an extensive collection of native streaming apps through which you can watch any movie, TV show or music on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Hulu and a whole bunch of other services. Everyday life becomes easy and joyful. No need to search for video on your computer. Just click on the screen and let the magnificent world of entertainment open in front of your eyes. Samsung knows how to make any platform as comfortable as possible for its users. Another of the UE55AU9000’s smart features are the voice controls that can be utilised with the help of B. With the help of these voice commands, it’s super easy to navigate through the menus, search for content, or adjust the settings on your TV. The hands-free control is a nice addition to the UE55AU9000 and is yet another amazing future feature that could influence the way TV of tomorrow should be.

Gaming Performance: A Smooth and Immersive Experience

Charlatan-casual gamers? Expect a decent quality gaming experience, but not one comparable to a gaming monitor. The low input lag of the UE55AU9000 ensures smooth action, while the smooth motion handling and fast response times minimise lag and stuttering that can be frustrating in fast-moving games. The UE55AU9000 is not a hardcore gamer’s dream, but for casual gamers it provides a smooth, immersive and nice experience that makes it a delight to simply sit down and enjoy a gaming session or two. Not everyone wants or needs state-of-the-art performance, and that’s fine. The UE55AU9000, although not geared towards hardcore gamers, definitely boasts very good gaming performance for a TV that is not geared towards gamers at all. For those of us who are not hardcore gamers, enjoying our favourite games on a larger screen is a wonderful experience.

Overall Value: A Winning Combination of Features and Affordability

The all-rounder At £799, the UE55AU9000 ticks every box, presenting excellent value for money It’s a good picture, of course – it has to be good for the set to appear at all – but equally, value matters, and the UE55AU9000 ticks all the boxes. It’s a great television for the money, the all-rounder. We’d understand it costing £1,000 – there are sets of that coinage and more that don’t provide anything like as much for a viewer – but Samsung is asking only £799 for the 55AU9000; that’s just £15 a week over a five-year period, or 30p per day – and TV won’t replace coffee in bed ever. If you want feature-laden 4K at 55 inches and £799 is in the budget, it ticks every box. Forget the frills, the gimmicks, just buy it. It’s reliable, cheap. It’s not flashy or demanding of attention, but it just works. For the money, it’s hard to look anywhere else in the 55-inch 4K set arena if you don’t want to spend £1,000-plus.

Conclusion: A Well-Rounded TV for the Modern Viewer

Overall, I find the Samsung UE55AU9000 a very capable 55-inch, 4K Smart TV for today’s wide range of viewing needs. Picture quality excellence, smart features and exceptional value come together perfectly for the budget conscious viewing enthusiast to provide a satisfying viewing minimum while overcoming traditional low-cost 4K TV prejudices and living up to its branding as a premium-performing 4K TV. Whether you seriously enjoy viewing movies with great picture quality, casually enjoy playing video games or just need a new TV to compliment your entertainment needs, the Samsung UE55AU9000 will be a wise investment in great performance and value at a price you should definitely consider. It’s the television that comes into your life and will enhance your entertainment experience.
