Reviews Samsung 58 Class 4k (2160p) Smart Led Tv (Un58mu6070)

Design

Curved No

The Samsung TU7000 has a surprisingly modernistic and clean blueprint for a budget model. The bezels are extremely sparse on all 4 sides and aren't at all distracting. On the other hand, the stand is very basic and doesn't preclude the Television set from wobbling.

The stand is plastic and feels pretty cheap. It doesn't back up the Goggle box very well, as it wobbles quite a bit. Instead of being screwed on, the stand is just inserted into the TV, which makes the installation procedure a bit easier, merely maybe contributes to the lack of stability.

Footprint of the 55 inch TV stand: 39.8" x 10.i"

Wall Mount 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, merely they're set into the back of the TV, and then they're tough to access when wall-mounted. There are tracks on the back of the Telly for cable management, and clips on the feet to hold them in place.

Borders 0.35" (0.nine cm)

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

Max Thickness 2.32" (five.9 cm)

Motion picture Quality

Native Contrast 5,110 : 1

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 chip between units, but these results are in line with other VA panels we've tested. Unfortunately, there's no local dimming feature to improve contrast.

This TV has sub-par height brightness in SDR. It'south best-suited for a dark to moderately-lit room, as it doesn't get vivid plenty to overcome glare in well-lit environments. There's very trivial variation in brightness with different content, except for the ii% window, which is dimmer due to the TV's CE dimming (frame dimming). If you want something that gets brighter, then check out the Hisense U6G.

We measured the SDR peak effulgence later on calibration, using the 'Moving picture' mode. Effulgence was fix to max, Gamma was ready to 2.2, and Contrast was left at its default value. This is about as bright equally the TV tin can get, as other moving picture modes accept approximately the same peak brightness.

Local Dimming No

Backlight Border

This TV doesn't have a local dimming feature. The videos are all the same filmed, so you can see how the backlight on this display performs and compare information technology to a similar product with local dimming.

Local Dimming No

Unfortunately, the Samsung TU7000 2020 has bad peak effulgence in HDR. Pocket-sized highlights don't stand out at all, and information technology doesn't deliver anything shut to a cinematic HDR feel. It can't display an accurate prototype, either, equally everything is darker than information technology should be, even in dark scenes. It tone maps well near the TVs elevation brightness, resulting in a slow roll-off, with no loss of fine details in bright scenes.

Nosotros measured the HDR summit brightness before calibration, using the 'Moving-picture show HDR' mode. Brightness and Dissimilarity were set to max, and ST. 2084 was left at '0'.

If you desire a slightly brighter HDR image, we achieved a peak brightness of 282 nits in the 10% window in the 'Film HDR' Picture Mode with Contrast Enhancer set up to 'High', ST.2048 to '+3' and Effulgence and Contrast at their max. This results in a brighter HDR image for darker content, every bit shown in this EOTF, but brighter content isn't any brighter, due to the Television'south low meridian brightness and early roll off.

There'southward a very slight difference in HDR pinnacle effulgence in Game Mode. About scenes are a bit brighter than out of Game Mode, although this isn't really a noticeable divergence.

The Samsung TU7000 nosotros bought has okay gray uniformity. The sides of the screen are a chip darker than the eye, though, and there's some dirty screen effect, which can be distracting when watching sports. Well-nigh nighttime scenes look much better, just there are nonetheless some noticeable bug. Note that gray uniformity can vary between individual units.

Native Std. Dev. 0.617%

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

Our unit has superb blackness uniformity, simply this can vary betwixt individual units. There'due south but some faint clouding throughout the screen, as well every bit some slight blooming effectually the exam cross, merely it's otherwise very uniform. It doesn't have a local dimming feature, so it can't remove the remaining cloudiness or reduce blooming.

Brightness Loss 36°

Blackness Level Raise 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.

Like most VA panels, the Samsung TU7000 has narrow viewing angles. The epitome rapidly loses accuracy and washes out as you move off-center, and then it's not a good choice for a broad seating organisation. If you desire a like Television set with ameliorate viewing angles, a TV with an IPS panel, like the LG UP8000, is a ameliorate selection overall.

Screen Finish Semi-gloss

Total Reflections 6.2%

Indirect Reflections 0.8%

Calculated Direct Reflections 5.4%

This TV has merely alright reflection treatment. Information technology's not very bright, either, so it looks best in a moderately-lit or dark room. Information technology's all-time to avoid placing it in direct sunlight or opposite a bright source of light. If reflection handling is important to you lot, look into the LG UN7000.

White Balance dE 3.71

Colour dE iii.39

Gamma 2.23

Colour Temperature 6,116 K

Picture Fashion Movie

Color Temp Setting Warm 2

Gamma Setting 2.2

This TV has decent out-of-the-box accuracy, just this may vary betwixt units. Almost colors and shades of greyness are slightly inaccurate, and the warm color temperature results in a blood-red/yellow tint. Gamma follows the 2.2 target nosotros utilize for a dark room fairly well, only dark scenes are too dark, and other scenes are slightly over-brightened. If y'all don't plan on getting your Television set calibrated and desire amazing color accuracy, check out the TCL 4 Series/S434 Android 2020.

White Remainder dE 0.35

Color dE 2.05

Gamma two.22

Colour Temperature 6,476 Yard

White Balance Calibration ten point

Color Calibration Aye

Later calibration, the color accuracy is outstanding. There are however some inaccuracies with reds and blues, merely white balance 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.

You can see our recommended settings here.

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

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

1080p content looks good, and there 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 Television uses a BGR subpixel layout, which can affect the way text is rendered when using the TV as a PC monitor, but otherwise isn't an event. You can read nigh it here.

Wide 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 important for saturated, vibrant colors in HDR, but sadly, this Telly can't display a wide color gamut. It has decent coverage of the DCI P3 colour space used by near current HDR content, but its coverage of the wider Rec. 2020 color space is poor.

Normalized DCI P3 Coverage ITP 70.2%

10,000 cd/m² DCI P3 Coverage ITP 21.1%

Normalized Rec 2020 Coverage ITP 51.1%

ten,000 cd/chiliad² Rec 2020 Coverage ITP 15.3%

The Samsung 7 Series has mediocre color volume. It's more often than not limited by the lack of a broad colour gamut, merely it can display night colors well, thank you to its excellent dissimilarity ratio. Like almost all LCDs on the market place, dejection aren't as bright equally pure white or most other colors, but this isn't very noticeable with regular content.

Blue (Std. Dev.) 0.086

Gray (Std. Dev.) 0.110

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

This Boob tube has great gradient treatment overall, but there's some banding in darker shades of gray and green. At that place'due south a Noise Reduction feature intended to reduce banding, but it doesn't practice much to reduce banding in our test blueprint. Notation that we don't recommend leaving this characteristic enabled, as it tin can cause a loss of fine details in high-quality content.

There are no signs of temporary image retention on this Boob tube, but this can vary betwixt private units.

Permanent Burn-In Take chances No

Nosotros don't expect VA panels to feel burn-in, equally the VA panel in our long-term test appears immune.

Motion

80% Response Time 6.3 ms

100% Response Time xviii.5 ms

Unfortunately, this Tv has a adequately slow response time, so it'due south not platonic for fast-paced activity or gaming. This results in more than noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects. Like most VA panels, night scenes have significantly slower response times, which causes a blackness smearing behind dark objects. Unfortunately, this Boob tube's backlight flicker causes duplications in motion.

Flicker-Gratuitous 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 you set the Brightness to its max in the 'Game' or 'Pic' Motion-picture show Manner, at which signal information technology becomes flicker-free. It'due south too flicker-free if you're in 'PC' mode with the Picture Mode set to 'Dynamic' and Brightness at its max.

Optional BFI Yes

Min Flicker For threescore fps threescore Hz

60Hz For 60 fps Aye

120Hz For 120 fps N/A

Min Flicker for 60 fps in Game Mode 120 Hz

The Samsung TU7000 has a backlight-strobing feature, usually known as blackness frame insertion, to aid amend the appearance of move, just information technology 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 e'er flickers at 120Hz in 'Game' fashion with the backlight prepare to whatever level beneath its maximum, and once once more, image duplication is noticeable due to the TV's 60Hz refresh charge per unit.

Motility Interpolation (thirty fps) Yes

Movement Interpolation (60 fps) No

This TV can interpolate lower-frame charge per unit content up to 60fps. It looks bad on our test pattern considering of the backlight's 120Hz flicker; nonetheless, it's not every bit distracting in regular content. There are some minor artifacts, only it works well overall with most content.

See here for the settings that control the motion interpolation feature.

Frame Concur Time @ 24 fps 23.one ms

Frame Hold Time @ 60 fps 0.0 ms

Thanks to this Telly'south relatively dull response fourth dimension, there'southward very little stutter when watching movies or other low frame rate content.

Judder-Free 24p No

Judder-Free 24p via 60p No

Judder-Costless 24p via 60i No

Judder-Complimentary 24p via Native Apps No
