Samsung CU7105: A beautiful and intelligent mid-range TV

Samsung CU7105 is a beautiful and intelligent mid-range television with some shortcomings but many good things. Let’s discover one by one by breaking it down completely.

Design

One more year, this model stays with the classic black color , a color that is seen less and less in the sector but, of course, will never fail. Also, if you notice, the intensity of this is very high, being as pure as we like to see it on the screen. Both for this and for its shape it maintains a very versatile minimalist style .

Keep an eye on the Samsung TU55CU7105

Even so, it is not that the room is going to be flooded with darkness, since this is a television without three of its frames and, in addition, with some bezels that are also quite restrained . Yes, it is more noticeable but not remarkable at any time, obviously, the bottom line of the panel.

Samsung TU55CU7105 measures 783.3 x 1230.5 x 250.2 mm , the depth of its legs being quite stable. However, this seems good to me, since it maximizes the stability of the panel, which, being 55 inches, is already asking for good support. The weight is 14.2 kilos .

Out of necessity or pleasure, Samsung gives you another option, that of eliminating the legs, which are V-shaped and with a somewhat oblique design, and mounting your screen on the wall. In this case, you should know that its profile is not very outstanding, remaining at 707.2 x 1230.5 x 59.9 mm . In addition, it would happen to weigh 13.9 kg . For this situation, yes, you must have a universal VESA-type anchor device of 200 x 200 mm .

In addition, the panel is compatible with the Y20 and Y22 mounts and with VESA Mini .

Since 2022 Samsung has changed the remote control of its televisions and now offers an Eco one, solar charging or via USB ; the one you see in the picture. It’s small, smooth, also in black, and essentially has everything the previous model and what’s needed. I like it because it’s not cluttered with direct access to apps.

Tuning and connectivity

The television surprises with respect to its tuning, not being complete or being one hundred percent up-to-date. We find a digital cable and terrestrial TV system but without satellite , a classic analog NTSC/PAL/SECAM, HbbTV 2.0.3 and CI+ v1.4 .

Obviously we have the corresponding antenna plug for tuning and the CI slot . However, the company provides us with some more elements in order to maximize the options that the TV has. We see a USB 2.0 port, Ethernet LAN RJ 45, optical output for digital audio and triple HDMI 2.0 .

The version of bluetooth 5.2 is very remarkable . Also as wireless connectivity elements that you can imagine we have a WiFI system , which is dual.

It is essential to know that with this connectivity, the most important supports remain in HDCP 2.2, ARC, ALLM, BT HID, CEC and DLNA.

Image quality and general functions

What the firm defines as Crystal Flat is a full matrix VA panel but with 8 bits of color depth that can be worked using Frame Rate Control to reach 10 and give everything in situations such as HDR viewing, being able to view in he more than a billion colors.

Samsung TU55CU7105 has Ultra High Definition resolution , which means 80 pixels per inch, and classic LED backlighting .

The most notable point and the one the brand is committed to for this model is the color. Therefore, its main feature is Pur Color . Of course, it is a work mix between the falsification of bits, the Crystal Processor 4K image engine itself, Dynamic Crystal Color and other elements, which provide maximum precision to the tones to multiply them and expand the chromatic range. Thus, rich and more realistic images will always be achieved.

This is how Samsung Pur Color exemplifies its CU7105 televisions

Mega Contrast, the brightness detector that works by modifying it depending on the setting of the room, Contrast Enhancer, UHD Dimming and a noise reduction system  finish giving the other characteristics to the images.

As for the movement, Samsung offers us what is expected, 50 Hz and its Motion Xcelerator technology . Likewise, there is a low latency mode or ALLM that helps to gain fluidity by removing vibrations or blurs.

There is HDR support although this is not complete. With this TV you can watch HLG and HDR 10+ content .

Sound

Samsung finds itself, with the Samsung TV Crystal UHD 2023 55CU7105, very subtly improving the sound section of a mid-range.

The system is the classic two down firing loudspeakers with 20 W RMS total (2 x 10).

The maximum Dolby processing that is supported and heard, moreover, without loss, is Dolby Digital Plus MS12 .

The additions that the firm incorporates for the television are OTS Lite , a subtle version of object tracking to try to focus the sound so that the user perceives it as best as possible, Q-Symphony to combine different audio channels with the aim of amplifying the sound, sending audio tracks via bluetooth and MultiRoom Link to be able to connect some devices without cables.

Software/SmartTV

The Tizen 7.0 interface

Tizen 7.0 is Samsung  ‘s system of 2023 and of course the one that has been given to the Samsung TU55CU7105. Even so, being the newest, we have to say that the television lacks many intelligent elements, something common in its range.

We’ll start with the obvious. Its interface has been renewed from a few years ago here and now it looks like another. Now it is very easy to use as everything is very visible thanks to its homogeneity and there are no elements that entertain the eye.

We see a line of applications (which you can expand by downloading them from the software store that you have at your disposal), recent content (from different sources), half-watched, what’s in fashion…

We also discovered a sidebar that allows us to use a search engine , enter the games panel (this is very cool and will allow you to improve your experience when you play) or, as it is preconfigured, the content interface, which is what we see in the image.

Samsung offers you, like other brands, its compendium of free channels, Samsung TV+ . The truth is that it is very complete. In addition, it must be added that they have recently made efforts such as their sports content.

For your convenience, Samsung TU55CU7105 comes with a Media Home that will make it easier for you to manage all kinds of content. Likewise, you have a browser , a mirroring system from small devices with mobile tap, new access to apps like Google Meet, universal remote compatibility, many accessibility options.
