Screen
The 42-inch (108 cm) LCD has a display resolution of 1920 × 1080 px (Full HD). The refresh rate is 50 Hz. This model has Edge LED backlighting, LEDs are installed on the sides of the LCD matrix. The viewing angle coincides with the declared by the manufacturer and reaches 178 degrees. Wide Color Enhancer Plus uses a color-processing algorithm specially developed by Samsung, so the image is significantly improved. PurColour technology makes colors natural, rich, and HDR format makes the picture look vivid in bright or dark scenes. You can even see her in the shadows! Micro Dimming Pro technology splits the image into fragments, automatically enhances the picture in each of them.
Appearance
The TV body is made in black titanium. This sets it apart a little from the rest of the models. The device is placed on an unusual stand that comes with the kit. Wall mount is provided, VESA mount size - 200 × 200 mm. Dimensions - 972 × 646 × 297 mm. TV weight - 11.1 kg.
Connectors
- HDMI (3 pcs.) - connection of digital devices for image and sound transmission (computers, laptops, video recorders).
- USB (2 pcs.) - connection of a USB flash drive or external hard drive.
- AV input (red, white, yellow) - connection of analog devices (camcorders, DVD, Blu-ray players, some TV transmitters).
- RJ-45 (Ethernet) connector - for connecting an Internet cable.
The TV does not have a 3.5 mm audio jack: you cannot connect headphones or an additional audio system. I think this is a minus of the model, against the background of the fact that, for example, in Kivi 32FR50BR or at BBK 40LEX-5043 / FT2C there is such a connector.
Sound
An image without sound is nothing. But you will hear even whispers with the smallest changes in intonation thanks to the two powerful speakers and Dolby Digital Plus. The total sound power is 20 W, acoustics - 2 built-in speakers of 10 W each.
Functions
Smart TV - you will get unhindered Internet access to watch movies or videos on youtube. The TV handles web browsing, games, applications easily. The "smart" functionality of the Samsung UE43N5500AU is based on the Tizen operating system. It does a pretty good job, but the Android Smart TV is, in my opinion, better. It's easier to use and has more free apps on the web than Tizen. For example, in Kivi 32FR50BR costs Android 6.0, which is faster than Tizen.
The light sensor is used to automatically change the brightness of the screen depending on the light level of the room.As a result, power consumption is reduced and the image is more comfortable for the eyes.
SmartThings - to connect and comfortably control your TV via a smartphone.
Advantages and disadvantages
Benefits:
- bright, vibrant screen with the use of technologies to improve the image;
- surround sound.
Disadvantages:
- no 3.5 mm jack for connecting audio devices;
- not enough variety of functions and chips;
- overcharge;
- in dynamic scenes, the image lags behind the sound track, but this is treated by flashing the TV.
Verdict
Samsung, as always, has made a good TV with a great screen that incorporates many of the brand's proprietary picture enhancement technologies. These technologies are really useful: the image has become much better, more detailed. The model has a good audio system that will allow you to comfortably watch modern films, and not just news or sports TV broadcasts. It is impossible not to mention Smart TV running the proprietary operating system Tizen. She does her job well, but I still think Android won't be much better, but better. Model price - ... I would advise you to pay attention to Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 43 Pro, which is a little cheaper, but has more functions and features, either on Kivi 32FR50BR: it is almost 10 thousand cheaper, but in terms of functionality it is not inferior to Samsung UE43N5500AU.
