Sber has started selling its new 8000 series TVs, bringing features typically seen in pricier sets into a more crowded mid-range segment. Prices start at 53,000 rubles.
According to the company, the lineup uses 4K QD-miniLED panels with adaptive backlighting that adjusts to room lighting. For fast-moving scenes, Sber lists MEMC, while gamers can enable DLG to reach refresh rates of up to 144Hz.
The series appears aimed at a part of the Russian market where TCL, Hisense, and Xiaomi have already become prominent, especially in 55-inch and 65-inch models.
The Sber 8000 lineup includes:
- Screen sizes: 50, 55, and 65 inches
- Panel: 4K QD-miniLED
- Gaming mode: DLG up to 144Hz
- Motion smoothing: MEMC
- Audio: 2.1 system with subwoofer
- Audio power: up to 52W
- Controls: FarField voice control without a remote
- Platform: Salute TV with GigaChat
One of the more notable claims is audio. Sber says the TVs use a 2.1-channel speaker system rated at up to 52W, and directly compares it to a standalone soundbar for movies, sports, and games. That pitch is straightforward for mass-market TVs: many buyers want a single screen without extra speakers or cables.

The sets also support FarField, letting users issue voice commands without the remote. In that mode, the TV behaves much like a smart speaker: it can respond through GigaChat, play music, and help control smart home devices. Users who do not want that feature can disable voice control.
The 8000 series runs Salute TV, and Sber has also updated the home screen. The interface now includes a Continue watching widget, separate showcases for music and sports content, and, according to the company, more accurate recommendations.
That reflects a familiar strategy in the TV market: selling not just a display, but a software environment designed to keep users engaged. At 53,000 rubles and up, the new series enters a tightly contested category where miniLED backlighting, higher refresh rates, and proprietary smart TV platforms are already key selling points.
