Motion is solid enough with the Picture Clarity settings, although movement can invoke a little judder with fast-moving content – the TU7020 has a less than grippy hold on NFL players when they’re grappling with each other. In the Avatar Blu-ray, colours have vigour and naturalism that’s tonally more on point than what’d you get from the Hisense A7500F, for example.
There is a slight but noticeable artefact that pops up across multiple sources, a slight purple outline around bodies in motion.
Upscaling refers to the process whereby a TV receives an image lower than its native resolution and fills in the missing information to create an image.HDR10+ is a dynamic metadata HDR format backed by Samsung, and it tailors the HDR performance to the characteristics of the TU7020’s display given its relative lack of brightness. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. While exclusivity has run out on Apple TV and BT Sport, Apple Music is still under Samsung’s lock and key. eARC support means it can pass through lossless audio, such as Dolby Atmos, to a compatible soundbar or system.
Indeed, a big screen and something nice to watch is a very good solution to let the time go by these days. You can see virtually all the bristles in Sam Elliot’s moustache, or the pores of Jennifer Connelly’s skin. Watching Countdown and the TU7020 gets the various blues of the set just right, the hues of darker and lighter blues well conveyed. Picture quality tests include broadcast 1080i high-definition TV, Freeview, Freeview HD, viewing angle and the stability of motion in fast action scenes.
Colours in upscaled HD broadcasts have a natural appearance, far more subtle than more expensive TVs. HDR support covers HDR10, HLG (iPlayer and Sky Q), as well as HDR10+ and the HGiG profile for gaming. HDR10+ is a HDR format supported by Panasonic and Samsung as a free to use, open platform alternative to Dolby Vision. Black levels hold up well – at least head-on – in Alien ( HDR10+) as the crew of the Nostromo investigate the foreign ship. We know cheaper TVs have quality where it counts, but what about the 50-inch UE50AU7100KXXU (sometimes just UE50AU7100)?
Like the Samsung Q80T, the TU7020’s image offers wide contrasts, but definition in the darker parts is less finely excavated. The better the upscaler, the better the resulting image and with the advent of artificial intelligence, it has helped to make for more sophisticated guesses. The TV is supported by feet at either end, but at this size it shouldn’t pose a problem for placement on stands and tables. Samsung’s cheapest 2021 range is basic, but not having a PVR or built-in voice control isn’t the end of the world if the TV makes your favourite shows look and sound lovely. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and refers to contrast (or difference) between the brightest and darkest parts of an image.
The layout differs from the more expensive models, and while it’s okay to use, it’s chock-a-block with buttons, some of which are very tiny.
Great Deal
