year, it has an interesting design that stands out for certain integrated details.<\/p>\n<p>We note that the\u00a0Samsung 50AU7172U\u00a0has a striking design that is not usually seen in the mid-range, therefore, it ends up being a positive point,\u00a0especially now that users prefer better elaborate designs\u00a0.\u00a0First of all, we talk about the 50-inch version, perfect for medium-sized rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, we find a better worked appearance from the front that provides thin bezels,\u00a0which offer an elegant environment\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0give the television more presence\u00a0.\u00a0Another interesting detail is that the content will have a better response, since the screen will be thinner thanks to its useful space of 94%.<\/p>\n<figure

details\u00a0.\u00a0The same is maintained by the rear part that eliminates all the thickness and gives a better accommodation to the connector box.\u00a0If we look for something negative we can mention that the only bad thing is its construction that seems not very resistant.<\/p>\n<h3>Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>This television presents a simple connectivity that provides the necessary connectors to receive an experience according to our needs.\u00a0To begin with, we find three\u00a0\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs \u00a0that are perfect for transmitting the signal from external devices.\u00a0We have a single\u00a0\u00a0USB\u00a0\u00a0that we can use to play content or record it if we want.<\/p>\n<p>On the wireless issue we highlight the presence of\u00a0\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0DLNA\u00a0.\u00a0If you want to see the rest of the connections that are available, you can check it in the specifications

exposed in a more vivid and intense way to be able to visualize better details.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Samsung AU7172 has a quality that we think is sufficient to view your favorite content. This is due to the good optimization that they have implemented, likewise, it includes certain technologies that improve the experience . First of all, it offers 4K resolution to see more realistic details.<\/p>\n<p>However, the main disadvantage is its Edge LED panel, since we noticed that depending on the environment we can receive some quality losses.\u00a0This is most often noticed when in very dark\u00a0\u00a0or\u00a0\u00a0bright\u00a0environments because this type of backlight does not reach the necessary power.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning we mentioned that this model equips some functions that will offer us a better experience.\u00a0Here we highlight the presence of\u00a0PurColor\u00a0that increases the spectrum of colors with the idea that they are exposed in a more vivid and intense way to be able to visualize better details.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve fluid images, the new Motion Xcelerator Turbo\u00a0technology has been integrated,\u00a0which offers great benefits when playing.\u00a0For everything to work optimally we have the 4K processor.\u00a0We cannot forget that this model offers us\u00a0HDR+\u00a0compatibility \u00a0that will give us sharper and more precise images.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound<\/h3>\n<p>The main weakness of this model is its audio quality and we do not say this because we consider it bad, however, it is not enough for the most demanding content.\u00a0The detail is found in its speakers that barely reach a total power of\u00a020W\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>The only advantage is that it includes improvements such as\u00a0\u00a0Adaptive Sound\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Dolby Digital Plus\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Q-Symphony\u00a0in order to hear a more immersive and precise sound, especially in dialogues\u00a0.\u00a0However, to achieve quality audio it will be necessary to purchase a sound bar.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis of the software \/ Smart TV and more notable features<\/h3>\n<figure

a good experience due to the features it implements<\/p>\n<p>The Samsung 50AU7172 works with its own system known as Tizen , which stands out for its excellent work and is considered one of the best, especially because it comes with a very good optimization and security, likewise, it has a catalog of quite a few applications. good that it integrates all kinds of options .<\/p>\n<p>We must highlight some exclusive functions for this system, for example,\u00a0Tap View\u00a0that allows us to play content directly from our smartphone,\u00a0the best of all is that it detects it automatically\u00a0, thus making it much easier for us to play it.\u00a0Ideal for viewing and managing your social networks.<\/p>\n<p>Another striking function is\u00a0Samsung TV Plus\u00a0that allows
