Samsung CU7100 | Review - What's changed?

We tested the new 2024 Samsung Tizen smart tv with 4K Crystal UHD, HDR & Dolby digital - 43CU7172 from CU7000 Series. A thin edge led smart tv with vivid colors and game mode with low input lag.

[@Jimmy_cepeda]

Awesome review! Can’t wait to unpackage my Samsung

[@Yourboii21]

Doesn't it have ambient mode anymore? I have the 2020 version and have ambient mode but not as much features as the qled version

I am comparing this with Toshiba QLED. Which one to recommend?

Did u say doubly sound not supported? Is sound any good or soundbar required?

samsung is slightly faster overall, they have very similiar hdr performance, so it all depends if you care about software and motion processing.

I miss testing the image quality on live TV

[@BillyBullshitter]

1:27 what is that small plastic panel next to the mains plug. There's a remote, a mains wire, but what is that 3rd one. It's like a small plastic panel/connector. Then again at 2:30 in the video, on the back on the TV there is a sticker that says common interface on it. Does the panel I mentioned earlier connect into that? What is it for and is it necessary to connect. Thanks in advance

[@TechWatcher]

this is common interface adapter, you need this only if you have CL module and card for locked paid tv channels.

[@BillyBullshitter]

@@TechWatcher ok but if I don't connect it, it won't effect the performance.

they have similar motion and color accuracy, lg has better sound and remote control is also more useful, samsung is slightly faster and more minimalist in terms of design. connectivity is easy on both.

Hi, I’ve just bought a Samsung UE50AU7110 50" UHD 4K HD TV, but need to alter the screen resolution (4k is too much for my slow internet to handle). Does anyone know how I can lower the resolution. I’ve tried accessing the Service Menu using: Power Off TV, then pressing: Mute + 1 + 8 + 2 + Power / plus a few other codes, but nothing seems to work on this model. Anyone got any ideas? Many thanks.

[@Revolver1981]

The resolution usually lowers automatically to allow you to watch without buffering as much as possible.

[@zuti071]

It seams like a decent entry level TV but i notice it's lounch price is extremly high and same as 2022 models like 43" Q60B or LG NANO 76. In general people should do their homework and research the market before buying new TV and get better valeue for money.
