Samsung UE55NU7300U, released by the brand in 2018, belongs to the TVs of the mid-price group, and within the manufacturer's line it can be safely called budget. The price is about 44 thousand rubles. For this money, they offer a TV with a curved screen, 4K resolution and a lot of multimedia capabilities. He clearly deserves attention. I compared it with the closest price competitors and I hasten to share my findings with you.
Screen
The Samsung UE55NU7300U screen is the first thing that attracts it: the radius of curvature is 4200 mm. This does not affect the picture quality. Such an innovation was invented by designers, but the move is good, especially for a TV set for 44 thousand. The real indicators affecting the picture quality are striking: a 55-inch matrix with a matte finish, a resolution of 3840 × 2160 px, a viewing angle of 178 degrees and a frame rate of 60 Hz. Modern video formats can be played in the best possible quality without the slightest distortion, and the curvature creates an immersive viewing experience - a good example for home theater. Advanced developments and technologies of the company have been introduced: Motion Rate, High Dynamic Range, HDR 10+, HLG adjustment, Mega Contrast, Pur Color, local screen dimming, automatic contrast adjustment, Auto Motion Plus, Natural Mode. An ideal picture is displayed on the screen in any room illumination and when viewing any content.
Appearance
The design of the TV is high-tech, the curved matrix creates a completely different space, fits perfectly into the interior. The metal screen bezels are so thin that users call this TV bezel-less. But the frame is still there, its color is black. As an alternative to lovers of original performance in the mid-price range, only TCL L55P6US in gray, the rest of the TVs pale in comparison to the Samsung UE55NU7300U.
Connectors
Samsung UE55NU7300U is equipped with the following connectors: USB antenna (2 pcs.), LAN, component, HDMI (3 pcs.), Optical output, CL card slot and COM port (RS-232). The manufacturer clearly decided to save on connectors: there is a composite input, but combined with a component one, there is no headphone output. Philips 55PUS6262 in this regard it wins a little.
Sound
There are no complaints about the sound of Samsung UE55NU7300U: it is deep, voluminous, with a large headroom (built-in acoustics power - 20 W). Dolby Digital Plus sound enhancement technology. More expensive Philips 55PUS6262 It also differs with proprietary sound improvement technologies, so it wins in sound quality, but it cannot be said that the difference is critical.
Functions
Samsung UE55NU7300U runs on Samsung Tizen 4.0 proprietary operating system. Thanks to it and the powerful hardware, the capabilities of the TV are almost endless - playback of files of any format from external media, recording TV broadcasts to external media, Internet access, including wireless Wi-Fi, displaying images from paired devices (Miracast, Steam Link), connection of a keyboard, mouse, control via an application on a smartphone.
Basic options are available: TV guide, teletext, parental control, off timer and others. The built-in high-sensitivity tuners DVB-T2, DVB-C and DVB-S2 are responsible for receiving the signal of TV channels. The closest price competitors areTCL L55P6US and Philips 55PUS6262 - they are not inferior in functionality. If there is a need to save money without sacrificing device performance, you can choose TCL L55P6US.
Benefits
- Acceptable price;
- curved screen;
- application of image enhancement technologies;
- perfect picture from any angle;
- Beautiful design;
- sound quality;
- wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, Miracast, Steam Link).
disadvantages
- Composite input is combined with component input;

- not very convenient remote control of the old generation;
- for some users, when playing 4K during online viewing, the sound is ahead of the picture. Experts attribute this to an unstable Internet connection on the user's side.
Verdict
Samsung UE55NU7300U cannot be called the best creation of the brand. But the price is appropriate. For Samsung fans on a budget, the UE55NU7300U is optimal. But I would recommend, if possible, to take a closer look at the company's TVs of the new generation, although they are much more expensive.
Competitors TCL L55P6US and Philips 55PUS6262 they are insignificantly inferior to Samsung UE55NU7300U in terms of image quality, sound quality and additional functionality. But they have more required connectors. Therefore, I still would not recommend Philips 55PUS6262, since it is more expensive, but TCL L55P6US can be considered as an alternative. You can save about 5 thousand rubles.
