Screen technology
Q64B: QLED
The Q64B is the starter model of the QLED televisions by Samsung. QLED televisions use the Quantum Dot image technique. This means that the screen consists of a layer of nano crystals. When thousands of lights behind the screen illuminate this layer, it results in a wider color gamut. Thanks to the Quantum Dot image technique, the television also has a higher brightness. This allows you to watch colorful images with a high brightness on the Q64B.
BU8000: LED-LCD and Dynamic Crystal Color
The BU8000 has a 4K Dynamic Crystal Color screen. The Dynamic Crystal Color image technique displays a realistic and improved color representation. This technique provides the LED-LCD screen with a billion color tones, which allows the screen to display more colors than a regular LED-LCD television. The brightness of the BU8000 is lower than with the Q64B, because the screen of this TV doesn't have any nano crystals. Due to this, the images are less bright than on the Q64B.
Sound
Q64B: 2 audio channels and Object Tracking Sound Lite
The Q64B uses the audio technique Object Tracking Sound Lite. Thanks to this technique, the sound follows the motions on the screen. Tis means that you'll hear the sound go from left to right when a car is driving by on the screen. The Q64B has 2 audio channels. Thanks to Q-Symphony, the TV also uses its own 2 audio channels in case you connect a soundbar. As a result, you can listen to a richer sound.
BU8000: 2 audio channels and Q-symphony
The BU8000 has 2 audio channels, just like the Q64B. The Object Tracking Sound Lite technique is missing. Due to this, the sound doesn't follow the motions on the screen. The television does use Q-symphony, which means the speakers of the TV are combined with the ones of the soundbar. That way, you can enjoy a richer sound.
Conclusion
The Samsung Q64B and the BU8000 are comparable televisions that mostly differ in terms of image technique. The Q64B offers a better image quality, which makes these televisions better suitable for enjoying more details in movies and series. The QLED screen technology of the Q64B offers a wider color gamut and a higher brightness than the Dynamic Crystal Color technique of the BU8000. The Q64B offers a better experience in terms of sound, but you'll still need a soundbar for a truly immersive sound experience.
