- Compatible with HDR10+ for a more immersive image
- Smart TV function with Tizen
Instead of a crossed out price of 699 euros, the Samsung 55CU7172 is now available on sale at 399 euros at Rue du Commerce.
A beautiful 4K image for less than €400
As indicated above, the Samsung 55CU7172 is an entry-level television, so it is satisfied with a basic LED display, but which has the advantage of being less energy consuming. In addition, LED screens are generally brighter than OLED screens, even if they have less contrast or less controlled colorimetry. This does not prevent you from enjoying sublime image quality on this Samsung 55CU7172 thanks to its 4K definition (3,840 x 2,160 pixels).
In order to enhance this image, it is possible to take advantage of the HDR10+ format. This extends the dynamic range of the display in order to obtain a more contrasted and more detailed rendering, and therefore more immersive. But that's all you have to be content with, this TV does not have a range of technologies and features like high-end TVs. As for the audio part, the Samsung 55CU7172 has two speakers with a power of 10 W RMS each.
An inexpensive screen, but above all a Smart TV!
Like almost all TVs today, the Samsung 55CU7172 benefits from the functionalities of a Smart TV with the Tizen interface. This provides direct access to several streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and much more, plus it is possible to navigate by voice thanks to its compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant. On the other hand, you should not count on compatibility with Apple Homekit.
Finally, if this screen promises good display quality, in particular thanks to its 4K definition, it is not best suited for gaming use with the latest generation consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series refresh rate does not exceed 60 Hz and we can note the absence of HDMI 2.1 ports. Finally, the Samsung 55CU7172 lacks VRR technologies that synchronize the console's power with the screen display, so it cannot prevent blurring, stuttering and tearing.
