For a person of normal discerning capacity, is there any actual difference between Samsung MU6100 (58") and NU8000 (55") for GAMING USE ONLY

I know what all the sites say, but I usually can’t tell much of a difference between TVs unless it’s incredibly obvious. I have a choice between buying a like new MU6100 for $450 or a NU8000 for $850 and for almost double the price, I often have a hard time translating all the marketing speak into actual real features differences

Really appreciate everybody’s help

Don’t have any experience with them but you can check Rtings website for ubiased reviews on them. Of course the nu8000 is rated better.

If we’re talking console gaming, then… most likely the one with the better color and least latency. You’d have to read reviews.

If we’re talking PC gaming… you couldn’t pay me to take em. Way too big. (Unless we’re talking Steamlink or something). Then, see console.

If it’s only for gaming use I would suggest the Samsung 49" CHG90 QLED Super Ultra Wide monitor. It’s 3840 x 1080 / 144 Hz refresh rate / 1 MS response time. If you get it make sure you have the desk to put it on. The only thing I really don’t like about it is the x 1080 part. It’s not super noticeable on WoW, but other games I notice the difference. All in all I’m happy with mine.
The MU610 and NU8000, to my knowledge, are not gaming monitors. I do not believe they have a display port. Running HDMI may not get you the optimal game performance for a display.

Based on the Rting’s reviews, the MU6100 is only 60 Hz, and the NU8000 is 120 Hz(excluding the 49" version, and no 4K 120), with Freesync support. This is aside from the obvious things where the higher model would often look better.

As Kag says, I’d probably not do any kind of PC gaming on such a large screen though.

Here are the links to the two models on Rtings(as mentioned by Canadiana above), which is a great site. Compare the sections.
