Samsung UE-55DU7172 55 " (UE55DU7172UXXH)

Clarity, contrast and natural colours

The 2024 Samsung Series 7 TV is an affordable 55-inch model that supports Ultra HD resolution and HDR content. Equipped with the company's Crystal 4K processor, it provides upscaling to 4K and the introduction of various technologies to improve the image. For example, the Contrast Enhancer function increases contrast, creating natural black shades, which will especially please movie and TV show lovers.

The picture on the Samsung UE-55DU7172 requires minimal settings, as the accuracy and naturalness of color rendering are at a high level - you just need to select the appropriate preset. However, the viewing angles could be wider, and the peak brightness higher, but this is quite expected for this price segment.

Additional smart features

The smart platform uses the Tizen operating system, and for control it is offered a remote control with a voice control function and support for various assistants, including the proprietary Bixby and Google Assistant. Particular attention should be paid to the AirPlay function for streaming from Apple devices and integration into a smart home via the SmartThings application, as well as the Zigbee and Thread profile protocols (although additional adapters may be needed to use them).

The TV's gaming potential is also enhanced by several special functions. For example, the ALLM function automatically switches on the gaming mode, and HGiG activates the optimal picture settings according to the game developers' intentions.

The model's disadvantages include a limited set of wired interfaces, including only HDMI, USB, and LAN. While competitors often have additional coaxial inputs and optical outputs. Nevertheless, the Samsung UE-55DU7172 is an excellent TV for various usage scenarios, including watching movies and casual gaming.
