Samsung CU7175 offers you, for a very reasonable price (and even more so considering that it is a TV from a top brand in televisions), mid-range features that, although they could be more complete, are more than adequate to what you want. the product is worth it. Let’s see what he has in store for us.<\/p>\n

Design of the SAMSUNG CU7175<\/h2>\n
\"Design
Design of the SAMSUNG CU7175<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first appreciation regarding the design of this TV is that the firm has not spent time designing a new style for the mid-range (or has not wanted to do so because this one works well, to be honest).\u00a0I’m talking about the identical maintenance of the television compared to previous years, a\u00a0black Slim Look\u00a0.<\/p>\n

This is not a negative point by any means.\u00a0In fact, to my taste, from the front the model is quite attractive because the black color is very pure and vivid, almost shiny.<\/p>\n

What does bother me and not about the design in general but about SAMSUNG TU75CU7175UXXC in particular is that its V legs\u00a0are maintained,\u00a0which, to make matters worse, are\u00a0very thin and light\u00a0, in keeping with the case, slim.\u00a0It must be remembered that the panel is heavy and that the larger it is, the easier it is to tip over.\u00a0It will happen?\u00a0We assume not, of course, since the television stands become better established every year, but if you ask me personally, I think that for 75 inches and up they should have opted for another option.<\/p>\n

In any case, consider the\u00a0958.2 x 1673.2 x 59.9 mm\u00a0of the panel or the\u00a01047.9 x 1673.2 x 341.1\u00a0mm if you keep its stand.\u00a0The weight in both cases is\u00a030.4 kg and 30.8 kg\u00a0respectively.\u00a0If you want to hang it, also get a\u00a0device with VESA 400 x 400 mm\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Tuning and connectivity<\/h2>\n

Nothing surprising in terms of its good tuning, since it allows us to watch TV with\u00a0Common Interface 1.4, HbbTV, analog NTSC\/PAL\/SECAM and digital DVB-C\/S2\/T2\u00a0.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Physical connectivity options<\/p>\n

As shown, the SAMSUNG 75CU7175 has\u00a0two antenna plugs\u00a0for digital,\u00a0RJ-45 Ethernet, three HDMI and a USB\u00a0in version 2.0,\u00a0an optical output for digital audio, the connector for electricity and\u00a0, outside of image, it also has the\u00a0slot that allows us to insert the CI card\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Together with this we find\u00a0WiFI 5\u00a0(2.4 Direct) and an updated\u00a0Bluetooth 5.2\u00a0.<\/p>\n

All this means that the television now has support for features such as WiFI direct, ARC, eARC, CEC, ALLM, DLNA, HDCP 2.2 and BT HID.<\/p>\n

Image quality and general functions<\/h2>\n

Behind the Crystal name that Samsung offers us to make it attractive is a\u00a075-inch VA panel\u00a0with full matrix and full depth falsified by Frame Rate Control (in 8 + 2).\u00a0Both resolution and backlighting are as expected,\u00a0Ultra High Definition and conventional LED\u00a0respectively.<\/p>\n

As a prominent element in terms of the image work of this model, the firm puts forward\u00a0PurColor\u00a0, which, as you will guess, strives to improve the quality, purity and vibration of the colors, which reach 1073 million.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Samsung offers this comparison between a normal panel and another with PurColor<\/p>\n

For the rest, we found that the panel works with\u00a0Mega Contrast, Contrast Enhancer, UHD Dimming,\u00a0Dynamic Crystal Color,\u00a0simple noise reduction and brightness detection\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The 50 Hz\u00a0frequency\u00a0has to be helped, especially in such a huge panel, to achieve the sharp images in quick moments that this model offers.\u00a0Samsung does it with the\u00a0Motion Xcelerator\u00a0system , which seeks to smooth movements by introducing new frames.\u00a0This is something especially important (and focused) in games.<\/p>\n

And although it is a mid-range, of course, Samsung offers support for the already practically essential HDR with\u00a0HDR 10+\u00a0, HLG and HGiG\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The point is its image modes, which adjust its values \u200b\u200bdepending on what is demanded.\u00a0The model includes\u00a0Filmmaker\u00a0, Cinema, Natural and Game\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Audio<\/h3>\n

SAMSUNG TU75CU7175UXXC comes with a simple and common\u00a02.0 system\u00a0in which each of its two speakers offer 10 W RMS, making a total of\u00a020 W\u00a0for sound power.\u00a0Likewise, in terms of processing we are left with a classic\u00a0Dolby Digital Plus\u00a0.<\/p>\n

And although the above is totally conventional, we like to discover aspects such as\u00a0Adaptive Sound,\u00a0Multiroom Link\u00a0, Q-Symphony, OTS Lite, dual audio via Bluetooth, audio selection descriptor\u00a0or even compatibility with\u00a0buds\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Software\/SmartTV Analysis<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the main interface of SAMSUNG 75CU7175<\/p>\n

For this 2023 model they have chosen the most modern version of Tizen, which is Tizen 7.0.\u00a0Although, I have to say that there are some smart functions that I miss or that, in my opinion, should already be found in any mid-range of recognized brands such as\u00a0Samsung\u00a0.<\/p>\n

If there is something that it offers, and that is available in the model we are analyzing today, it is its free TV,\u00a0Samsung TV+\u00a0, where you have a ton of channels with content broadcast 24\/7.<\/p>\n

You also have access to many applications (some already pre-installed and others that you can download yourself without problem, since you have a\u00a0software store\u00a0).<\/p>\n

As for\u00a0mirroring\u00a0, it is quite good, with the possibility of doing it from TV to mobile device or vice versa and including the option to launch only audio.<\/p>\n

Something I’m missing is the voice assistant.\u00a0Nowadays it is rare that a mid-range smart television does not come with an assistant, especially if the company itself has one, but it is the case.\u00a0Be careful because Samsung solves this by offering\u00a0compatibility with the Alexa speaker\u00a0, but, of course, you have to have it or buy it separately.<\/p>\n

This TV comes with\u00a0a browser\u00a0so you can access everything on the Internet that does not have a TV app.\u00a0Likewise, it has a\u00a0Media Home\u00a0already incorporated, although you can place your favorite multimedia management system if you want to change it.<\/p>\n

You have a Media Home manager . browser, Universal Programming Guide , many accessibility options , app casting , video calls through Google Meet, panel to configure video games.<\/p>\n
