Samsung 58 in 2160p 4k Hdr 120hz Smart Tv Review

Pattern

Curved No

The Samsung TU7000 has a surprisingly mod and make clean pattern for a budget model. The bezels are extremely thin on all iv sides and aren't at all distracting. On the other hand, the stand up is very basic and doesn't preclude the TV from wobbling.

The stand is plastic and feels pretty inexpensive. Information technology doesn't support the Television set very well, as it wobbles quite a bit. Instead of being screwed on, the stand is merely inserted into the Tv, which makes the installation process a bit easier, simply possibly contributes to the lack of stability.

Footprint of the 55 inch Idiot box stand: 39.eight" 10 x.1"

Wall Mountain VESA 200x200

The back of the TV is plastic and has the same etched horizontal texture as other recent Samsung TVs, like the Samsung TU8000. The inputs are side-facing, but they're gear up into the back of the TV, so they're tough to admission when wall-mounted. There are tracks on the back of the Idiot box for cable management, and clips on the feet to concord them in identify.

Borders 0.35" (0.ix cm)

The bezels are surprisingly thin for a upkeep model and aren't distracting at all.

Native Contrast 5,110 : ane

Contrast with local dimming N/A

The Samsung TU7000 has an excellent contrast ratio, resulting in deep blacks in a dark room. The exact contrast ratio can vary a fleck between units, merely these results are in line with other VA panels we've tested. Unfortunately, at that place'southward no local dimming characteristic to improve contrast.

This Television set has sub-par peak brightness in SDR. It'southward best-suited for a night to moderately-lit room, as information technology doesn't get bright enough to overcome glare in well-lit environments. There's very little variation in effulgence with different content, except for the 2% window, which is dimmer due to the Idiot box's CE dimming (frame dimming). If you want something that gets brighter, so check out the Hisense U6G.

We measured the SDR height brightness afterwards scale, using the 'Moving picture' manner. Brightness was set up to max, Gamma was set to 2.2, and Contrast was left at its default value. This is near as bright as the TV can become, as other picture modes have approximately the same elevation brightness.

Local Dimming No

Unfortunately, the Samsung TU7000 2020 has bad peak brightness in HDR. Small highlights don't stand out at all, and it doesn't deliver anything close to a cinematic HDR experience. Information technology can't brandish an authentic image, either, as everything is darker than it should exist, even in nighttime scenes. It tone maps well near the TVs peak effulgence, resulting in a slow scroll-off, with no loss of fine details in bright scenes.

We measured the HDR elevation effulgence before calibration, using the 'Movie HDR' manner. Effulgence and Contrast were prepare to max, and ST. 2084 was left at '0'.

If you want a slightly brighter HDR image, we achieved a peak brightness of 282 nits in the x% window in the 'Picture HDR' Picture Manner with Contrast Enhancer fix to 'High', ST.2048 to '+3' and Brightness and Contrast at their max. This results in a brighter HDR image for darker content, as shown in this EOTF, merely brighter content isn't whatsoever brighter, due to the Boob tube's depression acme brightness and early on ringlet off.

There's a very slight deviation in HDR summit effulgence in Game Fashion. Most scenes are a bit brighter than out of Game Mode, although this isn't actually a noticeable difference.

The Samsung TU7000 we bought has okay grey uniformity. The sides of the screen are a fleck darker than the center, though, and there's some dirty screen effect, which tin can be distracting when watching sports. Almost nighttime scenes expect much better, but there are even so some noticeable issues. Note that grayness uniformity can vary between private units.

Native Std. Dev. 0.617%

Std. Dev. w/ L.D. N/A

Our unit has superb black uniformity, but this can vary between individual units. There's only some faint clouding throughout the screen, equally well as some slight blooming effectually the test cantankerous, but it's otherwise very uniform. It doesn't have a local dimming feature, so it tin can't remove the remaining cloudiness or reduce blooming.

Color Washout 27°

Colour Shift 39°

Brightness Loss 36°

Black Level Enhance 15°

Gamma Shift 16°

Update 01/24/2021: We reprocessed our viewing bending video from the original footage, as the processed file was incorrectly scaled.

Similar well-nigh VA panels, the Samsung TU7000 has narrow viewing angles. The image quickly loses accuracy and washes out as you move off-eye, and so it's non a good choice for a wide seating arrangement. If you desire a similar Idiot box with ameliorate viewing angles, a TV with an IPS console, like the LG UP8000, is a better choice overall.

Screen Finish Semi-gloss

Total Reflections 6.two%

Indirect Reflections 0.8%

Calculated Directly Reflections v.4%

This Television receiver has just alright reflection handling. It's not very bright, either, then it looks best in a moderately-lit or nighttime room. It's best to avoid placing it in direct sunlight or opposite a bright source of lite. If reflection treatment is important to you lot, look into the LG UN7000.

White Residuum dE iii.71

Color dE 3.39

Gamma 2.23

Color Temperature vi,116 K

Flick Mode Movie

Color Temp Setting Warm two

Gamma Setting 2.2

This TV has decent out-of-the-box accurateness, but this may vary between units. Most colors and shades of grayness are slightly inaccurate, and the warm color temperature results in a reddish/yellowish tint. Gamma follows the ii.2 target we employ for a nighttime room fairly well, but nighttime scenes are also nighttime, and other scenes are slightly over-brightened. If y'all don't programme on getting your TV calibrated and desire astonishing color accuracy, check out the TCL four Serial/S434 Android 2020.

White Balance dE 0.35

Color dE 2.05

Gamma 2.22

Color Temperature 6,476 K

White Balance Scale ten point

Color Calibration Yes

After calibration, the color accuracy is outstanding. At that place are yet some inaccuracies with reds and blues, but white remainder is nearly perfect, and so is the gamma, though nighttime scenes are still too dark. The color temperature is much closer to our target of 6500K.

Yous can see our recommended settings here.

480p content like DVDs is upscaled well without whatever issues.

The Samsung TU7000 can upscale 720p content like cable TV well.

1080p content looks good, and at that place aren't any signs of upscaling artifacts.

Native 4k content is displayed perfectly, without any issues.

The Samsung TU7000 tin can't display an 8k signal.

This TV uses a BGR subpixel layout, which tin affect the way text is rendered when using the Television every bit a PC monitor, simply otherwise isn't an issue. Y'all can read about it here.

Broad Color Gamut No

DCI P3 xy 73.64%

DCI P3 uv 78.87%

Rec 2020 xy 52.90%

Rec 2020 uv 57.50%

The Samsung TU7000 has an okay color gamut. A wide color gamut is of import for saturated, vibrant colors in HDR, but sadly, this TV can't display a broad color gamut. It has decent coverage of the DCI P3 color space used past most current HDR content, but its coverage of the wider Rec. 2020 color space is poor.

Normalized DCI P3 Coverage ITP 70.two%

10,000 cd/yard² DCI P3 Coverage ITP 21.one%

Normalized Rec 2020 Coverage ITP 51.ane%

x,000 cd/m² Rec 2020 Coverage ITP fifteen.3%

The Samsung seven Series has mediocre color volume. It's mostly limited past the lack of a broad color gamut, but it tin can display night colors well, thanks to its excellent contrast ratio. Like almost all LCDs on the marketplace, dejection aren't every bit brilliant equally pure white or virtually other colors, merely this isn't very noticeable with regular content.

Colour Depth ten Bit

Cerise (Std. Dev.) 0.108

Green (Std. Dev.) 0.121

Bluish (Std. Dev.) 0.086

Gray (Std. Dev.) 0.110

Update 01/24/2021: Nosotros reprocessed the gradient photo, as it was framed and cropped incorrectly.

This TV has great gradient handling overall, simply there's some banding in darker shades of gray and green. There's a Racket Reduction feature intended to reduce banding, but it doesn't exercise much to reduce banding in our test blueprint. Note that we don't recommend leaving this feature enabled, as it can crusade a loss of fine details in high-quality content.

IR afterwards 2 min recovery 0.00%

IR after 4 min recovery 0.00%

IR later on six min recovery 0.00%

IR later on viii min recovery 0.00%

IR after 10 min recovery 0.00%

At that place are no signs of temporary image retentiveness on this TV, simply this can vary between individual units.

Permanent Burn-In Risk No

We don't expect VA panels to feel fire-in, as the VA panel in our long-term test appears immune.

Motion

80% Response Time 6.3 ms

100% Response Time 18.5 ms

Unfortunately, this Telly has a fairly slow response time, so it's non ideal for fast-paced action or gaming. This results in more than noticeable blur backside fast-moving objects. Like most VA panels, dark scenes have significantly slower response times, which causes a black smearing behind dark objects. Unfortunately, this Idiot box's backlight flicker causes duplications in motion.

Flicker-Free No

PWM Dimming Frequency 120 Hz

Unfortunately, this TV uses pulse width modulation (PWM) to dim its backlight. Information technology flickers at 120Hz on all modes unless yous set the Brightness to its max in the 'Game' or 'Motion-picture show' Picture Mode, at which signal information technology becomes flicker-free. It's also flicker-free if you're in 'PC' way with the Picture show Mode fix to 'Dynamic' and Effulgence at its max.

Optional BFI Yeah

Min Flicker For 60 fps 60 Hz

60Hz For 60 fps Yes

120Hz For 120 fps N/A

Min Flicker for 60 fps in Game Way 120 Hz

The Samsung TU7000 has a backlight-strobing characteristic, commonly known as blackness frame insertion, to help amend the appearance of motion, but it doesn't perform well. The backlight flickers at 60Hz when LED Articulate Motion is enabled, but the bad crosstalk results in visible image duplication. It always flickers at 120Hz in 'Game' mode with the backlight set to any level below its maximum, and once once again, image duplication is noticeable due to the TV's 60Hz refresh rate.

Motion Interpolation (30 fps) Yes

Move Interpolation (60 fps) No

This Tv set tin interpolate lower-frame rate content up to 60fps. It looks bad on our exam pattern because of the backlight'south 120Hz flicker; however, it's not as distracting in regular content. There are some minor artifacts, only it works well overall with most content.

Come across here for the settings that control the move interpolation feature.

Frame Hold Time @ 24 fps 23.ane ms

Frame Agree Time @ threescore fps 0.0 ms

Thanks to this Tv's relatively slow response time, there'south very trivial stutter when watching movies or other low frame rate content.

Judder-Free 24p No

Judder-Free 24p via 60p No

Judder-Free 24p via 60i No

Judder-Complimentary 24p via Native Apps No

Unfortunately, this Boob tube can't remove judder from whatsoever source. If you want a Boob tube that does, consider the Vizio V5 Series 2021.

Std. Dev. @ 80 ii.93 dB

Std. Dev. @ Max 3.95 dB

Max 85.9 dB SPL

Dynamic Range Compression 3.67 dB

This TV has a decent frequency response. Information technology's well-balanced overall; still, some may find the bass to be a chip on the lighter side, especially for watching movies or for gaming. It doesn't become that loud, and then it's meliorate suited for small and serenity environments.

Weighted THD @ lxxx 0.197

Weighted THD @ Max ane.236

IMD @ eighty 3.33%

IMD @ Max 7.05%

The distortion performance is okay. It sounds adequately clean at moderate volume levels, but it does distort a scrap at max volume. Surprisingly, there's less distortion in the higher frequencies when playing at max volume than at a moderate volume level. That said, distortion depends on content, and not anybody may hear information technology.
