Samsung 65 Class 4k (2160p) Ultra Hd Smart Led Hdr Tv Un65nu7300 Review

Test Results

Pattern

Curved Aye

The pattern of the Samsung NU7300 is very skillful. It is slightly curved and mainly made of plastic except for the borders that are metal. The stand up is basic and supports the Television well, but the TV wobbles dorsum and forth when moved. The are no gaps in the construction.

The stand up of the Samsung NU7300 is plastic and quite basic. It holds the TV well, but it wobbles back and forth if moved.

The footprint of the 55" model is 38.iii" x 10.3"

Wall Mount VESA 200x200

The dorsum of the TV is plastic and has the singled-out groves for guiding the cables. In this model, the cables cannot exist hidden through the stand equally in more premium models, as merely a clip is provided to guide them forth the legs.

Borders 0.59" (one.5 cm)

The border is plastic and average in thickness

Max Thickness 4.09" (10.4 cm)

The Samsung NU7300 is thick even for a curved TV. If wall mounted, it will protrude a little.

The build quality is decent. The plastic feel is dominant, just there are no gaps in the construction and the Goggle box is solid.

Picture Quality

Native Contrast 5,583 : 1

Contrast with local dimming N/A

The Samsung NU7300 has an fantabulous contrast ratio. It has no problem displaying deep blacks in a dark room. This is in the aforementioned ballpark equally other Samsung TVs with VA panels, like the apartment NU7100.

Local Dimming No

The Samsung UN55NU7300 has no local dimming choice. The video is provided for reference only.

Good SDR acme brightness. In dark scenes with a small bright highlight, the TV reduces the overall brightness to produce deeper dark scenes and thus highlights don't look also bright. Brightness, withal, does remain consequent in less dark scenes, and the Tv set is ok for most rooms. It is just slightly brighter than its apartment counterpart the NU7100

The HDR summit brightness of the Telly is mediocre. It is merely slightly brighter than the flat NU7100 just this may be due to unit variance. Is far behind the brightness levels of the TCL R617. The Television receiver does keep similar brightness levels regardless of the window sizes, but dark scene highlights are non boosted at all.

The Samsung NU7300 has good gray uniformity. On the 50% gray paradigm, although at that place are uniformity issues, this is mostly darkening of the edges which doesn't create much dingy screen effect. These uniformity problems are not likely to cause dark spots on the screen, and this should make sports fans happy as no clouding will exist visible in panning shots.

Similar and fifty-fifty better results are obtained at the five% greyness and this dandy.

Color Washout 26°

Color Shift 21°

Effulgence Loss 36°

Black Level Raise 12°

Gamma Shift 18°

The viewing angle is poor. Blacks fade as soon as y'all motion from the eye, colors starting time shifting at slightly larger angles. Finally, brightness is the last image quality that deteriorates as viewing angle increases.

This Goggle box is not suitable for a broad viewing environment.

The black uniformity is astonishing. Our panel has very niggling clouding on the lower right corner, this should not be a concern as most people will not notice it.

Reflection handling is ok. The semi-gloss finish manages to lengthened nearly of the ambient reflections but doesn't practise a great chore if the source is facing the screen

The out-of-the-box color accuracy is decent. We obtained the best results with the Movie Picture mode.

The white dE and the color dE are a bit off, but these differences are too small to bother near people. Gamma is higher than our target and thus some dark details is lost. The colors are a footling warm and this explains the faint red and yellow prototype tint.

Update 04/12/2019: This TV was incorrectly measured with Brightness +2, instead of at 0. This only has a small touch on the results (slightly dimmer night scenes beneath about 30 IRE) and and so we don't plan to retest information technology.

The post scale color accuracy is remarkable. We were able to significantly lower the white balance dE, the Gamma was right on the ii.2 target and color temperature was almost perfect.

Every bit with most 2018 Samsung TVs, we were unable to completely fix the color dE, although it was brought down to levels where very few people might discover.

You can run into our recommended settings here.

The Samsung NU7300 displays 480p content well, without any issues or obvious artifacts.

No obvious issues upscaling 720p content.

1080p content played from a Blu-ray looks expert.

Native 4k content is displayed well on the TV.

DCI P3 uv 81.81%

Rec 2020 xy 53.71%

Rec 2020 uv 59.94%

The colour gamut is okay. The TV is only capable of covering about 3/4 of the DCI P3 space and simply just a little more than one-half of the Rec. 2020 space.

The EOTF in Motion picture mode undershoots the target PQ curve significantly, so HDR content looks a piffling dimmer than normal. This is made less severe past setting Contrast Enhancer to Low, equally shown in this plot.

The Game Mode EOTF photograph shows that the aforementioned undershooting happens in this mode as well. In the PC Mode EOTF, there is nonetheless some undershooting of the PQ curve, but information technology starts at higher input indicate luminosity.

Normalized Rec 2020 Coverage ITP 48.6%

The Samsung NU7300 has a disappointing colour volume as it fails to encompass the color space in diverse luminosity levels. Colors look dim in darker scenes and the Tv fails to display the creator intended content accurately. This is also due to the limited colour gamut.

The slope on the Samsung UN55NU7300 is good. Although there is small banding pretty much everywhere, no major banding tin can be observed in whatever colour except in dark green

Setting Digital Clean View to 'automobile' smooths the slope but can't set it and causes a lost of fine details.

There is no temporary epitome retention on the NU7300, which is typical for TVs with VA panels.

Permanent Burn-In Risk No

The VA panel in our long-term test appears to be immune and so nosotros do expect not this TV to experience permanent prototype retention.

Motion

80% Response Fourth dimension vii.three ms

100% Response Fourth dimension 18.7 ms

The response time of the Samsung NU7300 is adept. The pixels transition fast and should please sports viewers and gamers. At the same time, there is some blur in the image which is mainly acquired past the backlight flickering. The response time is a bit faster than that of the flat NU7100, but this may come up downwardly to unit variance and these small response time differences are also visible in the moving logo photo.

Flicker-Complimentary No

PWM Dimming Frequency 240 Hz

Only like the NU7100, the NU7300 uses PWM at 240Hz to dim the backlight except when at 100%.

Withal, when the motility interpolation is enabled through the Auto Motion Plus pick the flicker frequency of the backlight changes to 120Hz as shown in this plot.

This causes worse duplications in the move as shown in this photograph

Optional BFI Aye

Min Flicker for 60 fps lx Hz

sixty Hz for 60 fps Yes

120 Hz for 120 fps Northward/A

Min Flicker for threescore fps in Game Mode 120 Hz

The BFI is dandy. LED Clear Move under Auto Motion Plus settings

In Game way, 60Hz flicker is not possible, only the backlight flicker stays at 120Hz in Game mode equally shown in this plot.

Movement Interpolation (30 fps) Yep

Motion Interpolation (lx fps) No

Motility Interpolations is decent. Some occasional artifacts can be seen, and the Tv stops interpolating when there'south as well much motion.

Annotation: that when Motorcar Motion Plus is enabled the backlight flicker changes to 120Hz, equally shown in this plot.

Frame Concur Time @ 24 fps 23.0 ms

Frame Agree Time @ 60 fps 0.0 ms

The Samsung NU7300 has a very good stutter results as in that location is practically no stutter on the 60fps bespeak, just there might exist a slight stutter on 24p content. This, however, volition not be noticeable past almost people.

Judder-Free 24p No

Judder-Free 24p via 60p No

Judder-Free 24p via 60i No

Judder-Free 24p via Native Apps No

Just like the NU7100, the NU7300 cannot remove judder from 24fps content. This holds true no thing if the content is 60p/i or from native 24fps content played from a Blu-ray.

This isn't a big issue since most people are not very sensitive to judder and probably won't find it.

Excellent low input lag, ameliorate than last year'due south MU6300. When the input is set to PC, the input lag is automatically the lowest possible.

In that location is no improvement in input lag if you activate Game mode inside PC mode. The NU7300 does not a have a Game Motion Plus similar the higher cease Samsungs.

The Samsung NU7300 is decent at resolution support. The following settings have to be implemented:

• The resolution 4k@60Hz @ 4:four:4 or @ 4:2:2 is only supported when HDMI UHD Color is enabled
• iv:4:4 Chroma is only properly displayed when the input icon is set to PC (aka PC style)
• In PC mode, Sharpness is set to 'x' past default and this ways no added sharpness. However, you tin can 'soften' the image if yous make up one's mind to reduce it.

The Samsung NU7300 has an average frequency response. LFE (low-frequency response) is at 80Hz, which is decent. This results in a audio that doesn't lacks thump and rumble, merely have some punch to its bass. The response above the LFE point is decently counterbalanced, which is important for producing clear and intelligible dialogs. However, this TV doesn't get very loud and produces some compression and pumping artifacts under max volume. It doesn't accept a room correction system either, which is why it wasn't to remove the modes of our test room around 200Hz.

The remote is ok, simply it is worth noting that this Tv set has no phonation command. The buttons encompass near of the basic functions, including inputs, quick access to the settings menu, and a picture size push button to command the upscaling options for lower resolution content.

In that location is a single push located underneath the Television, similar to the NU7100. Pressing the push button brings upwardly a carte du jour that can power cycle the TV, control book, channels, and modify inputs.

Bottom right: Sony X720E (KD43X720E).  Dissimilar our other photographs, this picture wasn't taken nether a controlled surround, so do non describe conclusions from it.

The Samsung NU7300 is a decent 4k Tv without much curved competition, merely if you're willing to surrender the curve so 1 of these competing models may be a better selection. Encounter our recommendations for the best smart TVs.

forty" 43" 50" 55" 58" 65" 75"

The Samsung NU7300 is marginally ameliorate than the Samsung NU7100. The NU7300 is a touch brighter and has a slightly faster response time but this may exist merely due to small variances betwixt panels. Overall, in that location is no major departure between the two, though. The NU7100 is available in a wider multifariousness of sizes.

49" 55" 65" 75" 82"

The Samsung NU8000 is ameliorate than the Samsung NU7300. The NU8000 is much brighter and improve able to overcome glare in a bright room. The NU8000 has a faster response time and can remove judder from most sources. The NU8000 too has new gaming features, including Machine Low Latency Mode and VRR (variable refresh charge per unit).

49" 55" 65"

The Samsung NU7300 is somewhat ameliorate than the Samsung MU7600. The Samsung NU7300 has amend input lag that you'll enjoy if y'all play video games and amend response time for fast action like sports. Information technology can also display more uniform blacks, and this improves the movie quality in a dark room. On the other hand, the curved Samsung MU7600 has slightly better color gamut and color volume that make HDR content slightly better.

40" 49" 55" 65"

The Samsung NU7300 is a bit meliorate than the Samsung MU7000. The NU7300 has better black uniformity, which is of import when viewing in a nighttime room. It besides has less input lag, although both have first-class performance.

40" 43" 50" 55" 65" 75"

The Samsung NU7300 is marginally better than the Samsung MU6300. While there are no major differences between them, the NU7300 has a meliorate backlight with less noticeable flicker.

43" 55" 65"

The Samsung The Frame 2018 is a scrap amend than the Samsung NU7300. HDR content looks better on The Frame, as it can display a broad color gamut, and has better color book. The Frame as well has much improve motility handling, with a faster response time and FreeSync support. The Frame can also remove judder from all 24p sources.

43" 49" fifty" 55" 65"

The ii TVs accept dissimilar panel types, each with its advantages and disadvantages. If you've got a room with a wide seating system and y'all'll exist watching from the side, so the LG UK6300 is a improve choice due to the better viewing angles. If y'all'll be sitting directly in front, and so the Samsung NU7300, is a better choice, equally it can go brighter and can also deliver much deeper blacks to improve nighttime room operation. The LG UK6300 has better reflection handling, which is practiced if your room has many lights.

55" 65"

The Samsung RU7300 is the replacement for the Samsung NU7300, and at that place are no significant differences betwixt the two. The RU7300 now supports 1440p, and information technology has a defended component input at the back, instead of the adapter used past the NU7300. The RU7300 as well adds back up for v GHz wifi.
