Smart TV<\/h3>\n
Samsung’s new 43TU7160 comes with a Tizen 5.5 based Smart Hub that has numerous features and applications.\u00a0Amazon Prime Video,\u00a0Netflix\u00a0, Disney + and many other streaming services work very well with media libraries.\u00a0The same cannot be said for the supplied remote control, which makes operation rather difficult.<\/p>\n
The difference in control with expensive models equipped with a universal remote control is obvious.\u00a0To make operation easier, simply purchase a Bluetooth keyboard with touchpad.\u00a0With this keyboard, SmartTV and applications will be much easier to operate.<\/p>\n
Smart House<\/h3>\n
Anyone who already owns smart home devices and wants to control them through a TV can count on the Smart Things app, with which all compatible household appliances can be easily connected to the network.\u00a0There are no voice commands on the TV.\u00a0Not only is Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant missing, but also Samsung’s built-in Bixby voice assistant.<\/p>\n
For TV reception, the TU7160 series of TVs are equipped with a fairly fast triple tuner that covers both DVB-S, DVB-T2 and DVB-C.\u00a0Switching time, as in most modern TVs, is 1-2 seconds.\u00a0The tuner comes with HbbTV, Teletext and Electronic Program Guide.<\/p>\n
A high-resolution 50Hz display with\u00a0Edge\u00a0LED backlighting\u00a0and a Crystal 4K image processor delivers high-contrast, colorful images.\u00a0In practice, it turned out that blacks are not 100 percent black, which is to be expected from a TV in this price range.<\/p>\n Samsung UE43TU7160 provides a fairly clear image even when watching dynamic scenes.\u00a0PurColor technology is responsible for image processing.\u00a0However, the latest technology Dual Led copes with image processing much better.\u00a0The manufacturer equips its more expensive TVs with the Dual Led option, starting with the\u00a0Samsung TU8500<\/a>\u00a0series\u00a0.<\/p>\n HD content upscaling looks promising.\u00a0Only when watching SD or analog video are there specific artifacts and blurry outlines.\u00a0All of this is relevant for viewing 4K content, but not 4K HDR.\u00a0Despite the fact that the UE43TU7160 TV has HDR10, HLG and HDR10 + standards, the user will not get the proper quality from watching content in any of the listed HDR standards.<\/p>\n The main problem with this is the low brightness value.\u00a0In working mode, the brightness of the TU7160 does not exceed 200 nits.\u00a0Peak brightness is at 280 nits.\u00a0This is too little when you consider that for consistent quality when viewing content in HDR10 mode, at least 540 nits of maximum brightness is required.<\/p>\n Anyone familiar with Samsung’s 4K 7000 TVs can already guess that the sound quality has never been perfect.\u00a0Voices and high frequencies are reproduced quite well.\u00a0The bass that gives surround sound is simply not there.\u00a0However, this should not be a reason to refuse a purchase.\u00a0With the right soundbar or home theater system, the experience of watching movies and music programs will change dramatically.<\/p>\n All TVs of the TU7100 line have a truncated option of a complete set of connectors, in contrast to expensive models.\u00a0The user will have to be content with only a couple of HDMI 2.0 ports, one of which has an\u00a0eARC channel\u00a0.\u00a0The USB 2.0 port is also in splendid isolation.\u00a0The manufacturer decided to abolish the composite and component inputs.<\/p>\n There is an optical TosLink output, a LAN RJ45 connector for Internet access, an antenna input and a CI + 1.4 slot.\u00a0Also, the TV is equipped with such wireless connections as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.\u00a0There is no line-out for connecting headphones and support for the DTS audio format.<\/p>\n Summing up the results of the Samsung TU7160 review, we recall that the company has released a number of affordable models, which include the entire 7 series.\u00a0Despite some shortcomings, the UE43TU7160 convinces with its good image quality.\u00a0If we consider the disadvantages, then they are an inconvenient digital remote control and a connection panel that does not have a sufficient number of connectors.<\/p>\n In addition to all of the above, it should be added that this model lacks the Ultra Black technology, with the help of which glare from sunlight is eliminated.\u00a0Also, the TV cannot boast of wide viewing angles.\u00a0The best viewing condition is in the evening and at night in a small room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Samsung’s TU7160 Series 7 TVs are available in five sizes ranging from 43 \u201dto 65\u201d.\u00a0These TVs are equipped with a state-of-the-art Tizen 5.5 SmartTV, triple tuner and 4K high definition display.\u00a0In addition, these TVs have the entire set of HDR standards with the exception of Dolby Vision.
