Samsung CU7105\u00a0is a beautiful and intelligent mid-range television with some shortcomings but many good things.\u00a0Let’s discover one by one by breaking it down completely.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h3>\n

One more year, this model stays with the\u00a0classic black color\u00a0, a color that is seen less and less in the sector but, of course, will never fail.\u00a0Also, if you notice, the intensity of this is very high, being as pure as we like to see it on the screen.\u00a0Both for this and for its shape it maintains a\u00a0very versatile minimalist style\u00a0.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Keep an eye on the Samsung TU55CU7105<\/p>\n

Even so, it is not that the room is going to be flooded with darkness, since this is a television\u00a0without three of its frames\u00a0and, in addition, with some\u00a0bezels that are also quite restrained\u00a0.\u00a0Yes, it is more noticeable but not remarkable at any time, obviously, the bottom line of the panel.<\/p>\n

Samsung TU55CU7105 measures\u00a0783.3 x 1230.5 x 250.2 mm\u00a0, the depth of its legs being quite stable.\u00a0However, this seems good to me, since it maximizes the stability of the panel, which, being 55 inches, is already asking for good support.\u00a0The weight is\u00a014.2 kilos\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Out of necessity or pleasure, Samsung gives you another option, that of eliminating the legs, which are V-shaped and with a somewhat oblique design, and mounting your screen on the wall.\u00a0In this case, you should know that its profile is not very outstanding, remaining at\u00a0707.2 x 1230.5 x 59.9 mm\u00a0.\u00a0In addition, it would happen to weigh\u00a013.9 kg\u00a0.\u00a0For this situation, yes, you must have a\u00a0universal VESA-type anchor device of 200 x 200 mm\u00a0.<\/p>\n

In addition, the panel is compatible with the Y20 and Y22 mounts\u00a0and with VESA Mini\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Since 2022 Samsung has changed the\u00a0remote control\u00a0of its televisions and now offers an Eco one,\u00a0solar charging or via USB\u00a0;\u00a0the one you see in the picture.\u00a0It’s small, smooth, also in black, and essentially has everything the previous model and what’s needed.\u00a0I like it because it’s not cluttered with direct access to apps.<\/p>\n

Tuning and connectivity<\/h3>\n

The television surprises with respect to its tuning, not being complete or being one hundred percent up-to-date.\u00a0We find a digital\u00a0cable and terrestrial TV system but without satellite\u00a0, a classic analog\u00a0NTSC\/PAL\/SECAM, HbbTV 2.0.3 and CI+ v1.4\u00a0.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Obviously we have the corresponding\u00a0antenna plug\u00a0for tuning and the\u00a0CI slot\u00a0.\u00a0However, the company provides us with some more elements in order to maximize the options that the TV has.\u00a0We see\u00a0a USB 2.0 port, Ethernet LAN RJ 45, optical output for digital audio and triple HDMI 2.0\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The version of\u00a0bluetooth 5.2\u00a0is very remarkable .\u00a0Also as wireless connectivity elements that you can imagine we have a\u00a0WiFI\u00a0system , which is dual.<\/p>\n

It is essential to know that with this connectivity, the most important supports remain in HDCP 2.2, ARC, ALLM, BT HID, CEC and DLNA.<\/p>\n

Image quality and general functions<\/h3>\n

What the firm defines as\u00a0Crystal Flat\u00a0is a full matrix\u00a0VA\u00a0panel\u00a0but with 8 bits of color depth\u00a0that can be worked using\u00a0Frame Rate Control\u00a0to reach 10 and give everything in situations such as HDR viewing, being able to view in he more than a billion colors.<\/p>\n

Samsung TU55CU7105 has Ultra High Definition\u00a0resolution\u00a0, which means 80 pixels per inch, and\u00a0classic LED\u00a0backlighting .<\/p>\n

The most notable point and the one the brand is committed to for this model is the color.\u00a0Therefore, its main feature is\u00a0Pur Color\u00a0.\u00a0Of course, it is a work mix between the falsification of bits, the\u00a0Crystal Processor 4K image engine itself, Dynamic Crystal Color\u00a0and other elements, which provide maximum precision to the tones to multiply them and expand the chromatic range.\u00a0Thus, rich and more realistic images will always be achieved.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is how Samsung Pur Color exemplifies its CU7105 televisions<\/p>\n

Mega Contrast, the brightness detector\u00a0that works by modifying it depending on the setting of the room,\u00a0Contrast Enhancer, UHD Dimming and a noise reduction system\u00a0\u00a0finish giving the other characteristics to the images.<\/p>\n

As for the movement, Samsung offers us what is expected,\u00a050 Hz\u00a0and its\u00a0Motion Xcelerator\u00a0technology .\u00a0Likewise, there is a low latency mode or ALLM that helps to gain fluidity by removing vibrations or blurs.<\/p>\n

There is HDR support although this is not complete.\u00a0With this TV you can watch\u00a0HLG and\u00a0HDR 10+\u00a0content .<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

Samsung finds itself, with the Samsung TV Crystal UHD 2023 55CU7105, very subtly improving the sound section of a mid-range.<\/p>\n

The system is the classic\u00a0two down firing loudspeakers with 20 W RMS total\u00a0(2 x 10).<\/p>\n

The maximum Dolby processing that is supported and heard, moreover, without loss, is\u00a0Dolby Digital Plus MS12\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The additions that the firm incorporates for the television are\u00a0OTS Lite\u00a0, a subtle version of object tracking to try to focus the sound so that the user perceives it as best as possible,\u00a0Q-Symphony\u00a0to combine different audio channels with the aim of amplifying the sound, sending audio tracks via bluetooth and\u00a0MultiRoom Link\u00a0to be able to connect some devices without cables.<\/p>\n

Software\/SmartTV<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The Tizen 7.0 interface<\/p>\n

Tizen 7.0 is\u00a0Samsung\u00a0\u00a0‘s system\u00a0of 2023 and of course the one that has been given to the Samsung TU55CU7105.\u00a0Even so, being the newest, we have to say that the television lacks many intelligent elements, something common in its range.<\/p>\n

We’ll start with the obvious.\u00a0Its interface has been renewed from a few years ago here and now it looks like another.\u00a0Now it is very easy to use as\u00a0everything is very visible thanks to its homogeneity\u00a0and there are no elements that entertain the eye.<\/p>\n

We see a\u00a0line of applications\u00a0(which you can expand by downloading them from the software store that you have at your disposal), recent content (from different sources), half-watched, what’s in fashion…<\/p>\n

We also discovered a sidebar that allows us to use a\u00a0search engine\u00a0, enter the\u00a0games panel\u00a0(this is very cool and will allow you to improve your experience when you play) or, as it is preconfigured, the content interface, which is what we see in the image.<\/p>\n

Samsung offers you, like other brands, its compendium of free channels,\u00a0Samsung TV+\u00a0.\u00a0The truth is that it is very complete.\u00a0In addition, it must be added that they have recently made efforts such as their sports content.<\/p>\n

For your convenience, Samsung TU55CU7105 comes with a Media Home that will make it easier for you to manage all kinds of content. Likewise, you have a browser , a mirroring system from small devices with mobile tap, new access to apps like Google Meet, universal remote compatibility, many accessibility options.<\/p>\n
