Samsung 43RU7100 43" flat 4k TV

Product Information

Complete with every app under the sun, the only reason not to buy this TV is if you’ve got a lot more money to spend and space for a larger panel. Samsung's smart features are some of the best in the industry, from the refined home screen and menus to Samsung's robust app selection, and just about everything we like from Samsung's more expensive QLED sets is in the NU7100. That’s not to say that the TU7100 isn’t vibrant when it needs to be. We switch to Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2 on 4K Blu-ray, and the TV does an excellent job with the neon-lit title sequence and the rainbow-breathing, neon gunk-filled Abilisk. The 43AU7100 isn’t as accomplished with its audio as it is with its pictures. It still gets the job done, though, without breaking that sense of consistency that makes it so engaging.

The RU7100 boasts one of our favorite Samsung features, automatic console detection, which senses when the game console is connected and powered on and then switches modes on its own. That meant that when we fired up our Xbox One X for testing, the set changed from movie mode to game mode automatically.Flat and thin’ might be good news in a pizza base but it makes for an uncomfortable listening experience. Other TVs to consider

use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity. Optimised allows the TV to perform an analysis of your environment and adjusts the sound to suit your room. In our tests, it never quite works, maxing all the frequencies out into a bit of a blur of noise and echo, and is best avoided. Everything that should be delivered in 4K with HDR is, with the TV supporting HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG. There’s no Dolby Vision, though, which is a shame, but also the norm for Samsung TVs. Lag times were also among the best we've seen, measuring just 12.9 milliseconds, according to our Leo Bodnar input lag tester. That makes the Samsung RU7100 one of the most responsive sets we've seen all year, and a top choice for gaming. Samsung RU7100 review: AudioEvery 2019 Samsung TV will run on the same, custom-made operating system. On the surface this is just an evolution of the existing Samsung OS, but that doesn't seem a problem when you consider how fully featured and intuitive the user-experience is already. What's more, there are some neat additions, from enhanced modes for gaming, more options for the turn-your-TV-into-an-art-display Ambient mode, and the addition of iTunes Movies and its peerless selection of 4K HDR films. We fire up the HDR10+ 4K Blu-ray of 1917 and are instantly impressed with the TU7100’s picture. It’s compromised, of course, as it has to be at this end of the market, but those compromises are in the right places and the set delivers an enjoyable core performance.
