Our Verdict
Samsung U8000F
Samsung U7900F
The Samsung U8000F is a slightly better TV than the Samsung U7900F, but the differences are minor. They perform the same for the most part, but the U8000F gets quite a bit brighter, so while still not great, it can handle a bit more glare in a bright room. The U8000F also has an additional HDMI port, so it's slightly more versatile.
