    Does the AU8000 have ambient mode?

    AU8000: Ambient Mode and One Remote Control The AU8000 has the same extra functions as the AU9080. This TV also has the useful Ambient Mode function, for when you don't want a black screen in your room. You can also create a nice ambiance in your livingroom when friends or family come over.

    How do I know if HDR is on Samsung?
    kraig
    over 1 year ago
    On Samsung TVs, pressing the info button on the remote will bring up an information bar at the top of the screen. Look for an indicator in the top right corner that says “HDR.”
