Samsung UE55NU7300U, released by the brand in 2018, belongs to the TVs of the middle price group, and within the manufacturer's line it can be safely called budget. Price - about ... For this money, they offer a TV with a curved screen, 4K resolution and a lot of multimedia features. He clearly deserves attention. I compared it with the closest price competitors and I hasten to share my findings with you.
Screen
The Samsung UE55NU7300U screen is the first thing that attracts you to it: the radius of curvature is 4200 mm. This does not affect the picture quality. Such an innovation was invented by designers, but the move is good, especially for a TV for 44 thousand. The real indicators affecting the picture quality are striking: a 55-inch matrix with a matte finish, a resolution of 3840 × 2160 px, a viewing angle of 178 degrees and a frame rate of 60 Hz. Modern video formats can be played in the best possible quality without the slightest distortion, and the curvature creates an immersive viewing experience - a good example for home theater. The company's advanced developments and technologies have been introduced: Motion Rate, High Dynamic Range, HDR 10+, HLG adjustment, Mega Contrast, Pur Color, local screen dimming, automatic contrast adjustment, Auto Motion Plus, Natural Mode. The ideal picture is displayed on the screen in any room lighting and when viewing any content.
Appearance
The design of the TV is hi-tech, the curved matrix creates a completely different space, fits perfectly into the interior. The metal frames of the screen are so thin that users call this TV frameless. But the frame is still there, its color is black. As an alternative to fans of the original performance in the mid-price range, you can only offer TCL L55P6US in gray, other TVs fade against the background of the Samsung UE55NU7300U.
Connectors
Samsung UE55NU7300U is equipped with the following connectors: USB antenna (2 pcs.), LAN, Component, HDMI (3 pcs.), Optical output, CL card slot and COM port (RS-232). The manufacturer clearly decided to save money on connectors: there is a composite input, but combined with a component one, there is no headphone output. Philips 55PUS6262 in this regard it wins a little.
Sound
There are no complaints about the sound of Samsung UE55NU7300U: it is deep, voluminous, with a large headroom (built-in acoustics power - 20 W). Dolby Digital Plus sound enhancement technology. More expensive Philips 55PUS6262 It also differs in proprietary technologies for improving sound, so it wins in terms of sound quality, but it is impossible to say that the difference is critical.
Functions
Samsung UE55NU7300U runs on Samsung Tizen 4.0 proprietary operating system. Thanks to it and the powerful hardware, the capabilities of the TV are almost endless - playing files of any format from external media, recording TV broadcasts to external media, accessing the Internet, including wireless Wi-Fi, displaying images from paired devices (Miracast, Steam Link), connecting a keyboard, mouse, control via an application on a smartphone.
Basic options are available: TV guide, teletext, parental control, off timer and others.For receiving the signal of the TV channels, the built-in tuners of high sensitivity DVB-T2, DVB-C and DVB-S2 are responsible. The closest price competitors areTCL L55P6US and Philips 55PUS6262 - they are not inferior in functionality. If you need to save money without sacrificing device performance, you can choose the TCL L55P6US.
Benefits

disadvantages

- not very convenient remote control of the old generation;
- for some users, when playing 4K during online viewing, the sound is ahead of the picture. Experts attribute this to an unstable Internet connection on the user's side.
Verdict
Samsung UE55NU7300U cannot be called the best creation of the brand. But the price is appropriate. For Samsung fans on a budget, the UE55NU7300U is optimal. But I would recommend looking at the TVs of a new generation, if possible, although they are much more expensive.
Competitors TCL L55P6US and Philips 55PUS6262 Samsung UE55NU7300U loses insignificantly in image quality, sound and additional functionality. But they have more required connectors. Therefore, I would still not recommend the Philips 55PUS6262, since it is more expensive, but the TCL L55P6US can be considered as an alternative. Can save about .
