There is a slight but noticeable artefact that pops up across multiple sources, a slight purple outline around bodies in motion. It can be difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff when you’re shopping for a budget TV, and while you shouldn’t expect miracles from Samsung’s UE43BU8000, there are a number of ways in which it stands out from the crowd.
