DESIGN
Right out of the box, the Samsung TU8000 Crystal TV is a slim frame with what they call a 3-side bezelless design. Because of its dimensions, setting it up is a two-man job, but the unit itself is actually not very heavy at around 14kg. You also don’t need any tools to install the feet as you just slot these into the appropriate notches at the bottom the unit, and you’re good to go.
Neatniks will love the clean cable solution, as there are grooves at the back where you can run the various connecting wires along with the power cord and clip all these neatly together to one of the legs, so there are no unsightly wires all tangled up behind the screen.
Although slim and made mostly of plastic materials, the Samsung Crystal TV looks sturdy and well-built.
HARDWARE
At the heart of this TV is a Crystal Processor 4K chip, an ultrafast processor that upscales images for ultrahigh definition viewing. The processor optimizes high contrast ratio and faithful color rendition.
Clustered toward one side at the back are the ports for three HDMI and two USB 2.0, as well as inputs for an RF antenna, RCA composite, analog audio, digital audio out, and the ethernet port. It is also equipped with WiFI and Bluetooth connectivity. It has a 20W stereo speaker system.
The TM2050A smart remote control unit that comes with the Crystal TV is a slim curved wand with a simplified, intuitive design.

HONOR X8B
HONOR’s Xa-series smartphones impressed me last year. HONOR’s entry to mid-range lineup was reasonably priced and each model had its niche special feature. Among the standouts last year was HONOR X8a, an entry mid-ranger with a massive 100-megapixel camera that shot out the competition. This year, the HONOR X8b is a worthy successor to the X8a.
