The Samsung AU8000 offers better reflections handling and slightly better brightness in standard dynamic range content, which might suit you better if you watch TV in a room that gets a lot of light. It also performs slightly better with upscaling lower-resolution content, so if you watch a lot of DVDs or non-HD channels, this could be beneficial. On the other hand, the Toshiba C350LU offers voice commands accessibility, which can be a convenient feature to control your TV hands-free. Considering the price difference, if budget is a significant factor for you, the Toshiba may provide the essentials at a lower cost. Although both TVs have their limitations, such as not excelling in gaming or high dynamic range content, the decision may come down to whether the additional features and slight performance edge of the Samsung AU8000 justify the higher price for you.

"To put it directly: you’d never see a mid-range 4K TV hitting this black levels half a decade ago. AU8000 plays the part of a higher-end TV thanks to its sleek design. If you’re upgrading to a smart TV for the first time, the software is a great way to dip your toes in the streaming water."
