Appearance
Samsung QE55Q7FNA is a frameless TV with a beautiful metal stand. There is Ambient technology. It allows you to display the image on the screen in standby mode. A TV can become a clock, a weather manager, a decorative painting with changing images, or part of a wall. Just take a picture of your wall and send the image to the TV - now it is almost invisible. In earlier models of the company, which were already equipped with this function, the constantly confused wires of external connected devices interfered with the implementation of the full “implementation in the interior”. They were offered to partially hide in special gutters on the TV or in the stand. Now you don't have to do this. Samsung’s unique development, One Connect, made the TV as thin as possible and got rid of wires. Now, only the power cable connected to the optical cable that connects to the remote module leaves the rear panel of the TV. All external devices are then connected to it.
One Connect is a step into the future and the competitive advantage of this TV.
Connectors
All connectors of this TV are located on the remote One Connect module. This improves the usability of them. You don’t have to worry anymore by connecting external devices to the connectors on the rear panel, especially if the TV hangs close to the wall. Now they are all in a convenient place. The set of connectors is as follows: input for cable and satellite antennas, 4 HDMI 2.0, 3 USB 2.0, LAN, optical audio output, CI + slot. There is no AV input, as well as a headphone jack.
