Samsung 7 Series NU7100 65" - Flat 4K UHD Smart LED TV (2018)

Update: I was mistaken. I used a crappy HDMI to Displayport adapter which I reviewed as follows: "This will mess up your displayed image by limiting it to "limited range ycbr420" instead of full range RGB. The "low" HDMI setting is actually just there to compensate for this and doesn't actually "fix" the problem as it just makes EVERYTHING darker / brighter to fake it. My Rift cuts in and out with this and my TV goes to 1080P frequently with this ON TOP of the color malfunctions." That's why Netflix / Hulu caused my TV to recalibrate - not a malfunction. THAT SAID go into Nvidia Control Panel / AMD Radeon Experience and make sure it's RGB with Full Dynamic Range - mine defaulted to limited range AND YCBR420 which will cause Windows to eat (DWM and Client Server Runtime Process) 30% ish of GPU when you move your mouse.Had to use my Spyder 5 Express to calibrate but otherwise great display. Spent about 20 minutes in the settings menu (where things are oddly placed) but now it's solid. Only weird thing is that in Windows if I go to Hulu and play an HDR video the dumb TV goes black and is like "LOL OPTIMIZING FOR THIS CONTENT" and it just breaks my color calibration and makes everything look like dog.. food. Which means that I have to disable HDR so.. that's awful. But considering that I, as someone who owns a Spyder and clearly cares about color reproduction, haven't been sold on HDR do to the cluster.. truck of terrible implementations and content... don't NOT buy this display. No display at this price does HDR well. You're looking at the 800+ range for good HDR.Without color calibration you're looking at dark grey blacks (and with you're still looking at very dark grey blacks bc LCD) and there's clearly SOME ghosting that I only see while scrolling my web pages, notes, ect. (but not in games, weirdly) BUT I hook my Switch up to this display (because my other TV loses the picture repeatedly - the Switch Dock is pretty much a hacked together and non-spec abiding servicable prototype BUT that's no excuse) and I'm not like "OMG THIS IS SUCH GARBAGE PICTURE QUALITY" so take that as you will. To be clear, I can only calibrate this via Windows - the TV itself doesn't have a calibration option for something like a Spyder so if your device doesn't have that built into it in some way then you can't really fix this sooo.. yeah. Basically if you've never looked at a display and thought "wtf is that picture?" this won't bother you because it's nice enough for the price. Again, it's an LCD LED panel - it's not IPS so idk why you'd expect a great color repro to begin with (:And, finally, input lag is fine. I haven't noticed any issues whatsoever. If you're planning on using this as a PC monitor you'll need a 1060 or higher, 2060 or higher, or an AMD 480 / 580 / VEGA / New ("VII") series card. Otherwise the HDMI isn't 2.0 enabled and you'll be stuck with a VERY CHOPPY AND LAGGY 4K 30hz - idk what went wrong but with my R9 270 this was unusably choppy. Not just "low fps" but just terribly non-responsive AND low FPS AND ghosting like crazy.OH one more thing! IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. This TV upscales all content super well. Got an old (or Nintendo Switch) console that can't send out an upscaled 4K image? (Xbox One S, Xbox One X, and PS4 Pro can do this) That's okay because the TV does a good job! I got a Hisense in my room and its upscaler is TERRIBAD. It uses some sort of blurry upscaling and then sharpens it giving it this messy crunchy look. Disgusting. Thank you Samsung for not doing whatever they did! Took them over a week to get back to me and it wasn't successful support. Sent me alternative firmwares to try but none of them fixed it. After a full month and a half of support AND that TV malfunctioning with my Switch I can strongly recommend this TV by comparison (:

Love my tv has set apps in your tool bar which can be expanded settings are coolawesome purchase easy to hook up

Not sure why some people complained about the set up, it went smoothly with me. No, you don't need to download an app to help you, just skip it, and set it up by yourself. It is important to find on-line instructions on how to properly set it up, and once done properly, the image is just spectacular. The built in sound is also not bad.I only have a few minor complaints: (1) The placement of sensor for the remote. It is located in the middle at the bottom of the screen, a perfect position for a sound bar, which can block the remote signal. (2) The TV app: You could address the previous problem using the Samsung TV app if both are connected via WiFi, but the app has an annoying amount of ads, which show up every minute of so. If you are scanning channels, adjusting volume, etc you are highly likely to read an ad. This is simply a cheap shot from Samsung — how much money is it worth making this way to put off your customers? This makes Samsung looks small. (3) No headphone jack. As such if your sound system also does not have a headphone jack (like mine), you have no way of listening to your shows in private with a simple headphone. There is not BT connection either ... So it seems the only way you can connect a headphone is via the RCA type audio-out port using those RF wireless headphones which are prone to statics. This must be a cost cutting decision from Samsung; however, for the price I paid and the fact that it has 3 HDMI inputs, I accepted as a reasonable compromise.

We previously had a 65" Samsung 4K Smart Curve model TV and loved it. When relocating, we elected to right size our home for just my wife and me. The 65" Curve was now too big so we sold it. :(After relocating, we wall mounted a true 42" model we had as a second TV, using the same wall mount used for the 65" Curve. In time we realized the 42" was just too small for the room. When beginning the search for a new TV, we felt a 50" model would be a perfect fit.We live 2.5 hours from the closest big box store, so we rely heavily on shopping online. I share this for a few reasons. If you can't see all the connections, picture quality and actually measure the size of the TV, you need to pay close attention to the details/reviews/questions when shopping online.I almost pushed the button on a 50" Samsung TV when I realized the actual picture size is 43" and not even close to 50". :( Why the industry, including Samsung, plays this game with picture size is so misleading to the consumer. Not a good thing!We then looked at the 55" model, in reality a 48" screen which is about as close to a 50" model we could find. I have to give props to Amazon on ordering, shipping and delivery. I had visions of box damage which never occurred. The TV arrived on time as scheduled and without any sign of box damage. Thank you Amazon!Several reviews mention poor quality regarding the remote, which is accurate. The remote for this 55" model is by far inferior to the Curve model we had in the past, but we also paid close to $2K for the Curve. The Curve remote was exceptional, but the cost was 3 times more expensive too. Some of the reviews mention picture quality as a concern which I take exception to. For the money, the picture quality is excellent. I successfully mounted the 55" model to our wall mount though I had to purchase longer bolts and drill 4 holes in the existing mount, but the mount works perfectly after a few minor modifications.Connecting our existing sound bar used for the Curve became a big issue, though. This 55" model does not provide a Bluetooth connection, which more expensive TV's offer, including the Samsung Curve we previously had. After several missed attempts in connecting the sound bar to the new TV, I eventually realized that simply connecting an HDMI cable to the sound bar and the ARC-HDMI connector on the TV solved this problem as well. Now I can use the Direct TV controller to change channels and adjust the sound on the sound bar, though doing so also required adjusting the TV voice speed adjustment to match the voice to mouth movement of people talking on TV. I had to troubleshoot this without there being any documentation about this, but I was able to get everything connected and working properly. It just takes a little more time to accomplish.That said, we really like the finished product and the price. We considered a more expensive model, but this model is perfect for watching football games, movies, our weekly shows and the news, etc. We're not gamers, so no input on this function, but for a very nice TV at a reasonable price, I can highly recommend this product.
