Samsung 58NU7100 Flat 58” 4K UHD 7 Series Smart TV 2018

This is the most beautiful picture television weve ever owned, as a 30-something couple. Incredibly easy set-up, intuitive operation, and gorgeously clear picture. Granted, were penny-pinchers, so this was a big splurge for us, even though its far less pricey than other comparable televisions. Very happy with this purchase.

Initial Impression: Man this is big! This is obviously relative, but coming from a 49” and a 60” previously this seems huge! Packaging was good. Well protected. I ripped apart the box trying to get the TV out until I realized that once you remove the nylon strap, the top of the box just slides off… Aesthetics: I’m super picky about bezels. I can’t STAND a thick bezel. You could show me a great picture with a thick bezel and I would hate the TV. With that being said, last years model was on the edge (pun intended) of how thick of a bezel I could stand. I’m happy to see they’ve decreased the bezel size in this years model. I wasn’t overly excited when I saw the pictures of the stand legs, but they turned out to be better than I thought. I would still prefer them to be on the outer edge of the TV, but I understand why Samsung decided to go with the placement since finding a TV stand to accommodate for legs any further spread out, especially with the TV size) would be a lot more difficult. Multi placement for the legs would have been nice to tackle that issue. The legs are made of some sort of ABS plastic, metal would have been preferred, but they have a nice to finish to them so I don’t mind. I think most people would be mounting a TV this big, which I think would alleviate my only real concern with the TV. Set-up/Software: Seamless. I fell in love with it from the prior model and I’m glad to see they’ve kept the key features and added on some. There is an option to set-up and integrate using Samsung Smart Things app on your phone. I didn’t do this (because I was anxious to start watching), but I do remember that last year’s model integrated and it was really convenient. All in all it was super-fast, super easy. Screens were fluid and easy to understand. As a software developer I tend to get frustrated easy when things aren’t natural, but the TV has a good UI/UX design. It has all the apps I need/use (and then some). I love having Spotify as an app, that’s the only one that stuck out to me as what usually isn’t available on other smart TV’s. Definitely a plus since I listen to music on my TV through my surround sound often and used to resort to using a ChromeCast to do so. Also having a web browser is super handy! Pulling up a facebook link or a random site to watch/read news is always a perk. My only con in this category would be the lack of ability to turn off the screen and keep audio on. Maybe I haven’t found the option yet, but I don’t think the TV supports that. If anyone knows how, PLEASE let me know. Picture: What everyone wants to know! It’s great! For the model/price point, I don’t think you can beat the picture. Compared to the similar class Vizio’s and LG’s, this is definitely a lot sharper. Compared with the Sony models I think it’s a toss-up, BUT the Sony models are generally pricier, and I don’t know if the software is on par with Samsung, especially with the smart phone integration. The blacks are darker and the whites brighter. The presets for different picture modes is pretty good and you can switch easily depending on what you watch. I find myself sticking to “Dynamic” mode the most. There is little to no glare on the screen, and I have the TV placed right next to a wall of windows with the blinds open 90% of the time. I think the “Dynamic” TV mode helps in this regard as well. No cons with the picture except it’s not OLED, but that’s obviously a different category J Other: I don’t like the remote. I know the TV is still in the entry/mid level category, but I don’t like that the remote is not sleeker and “smart.” More so I’m disappointed you cannot purchase and link a Samsung Smart remote. I think the ability to use your phone helps, but having a smart “sleek” remote would have been nice. I don’t like having to look at the remote to figure out what button I’m pressing. Once again, this is just me nit-picking. Which says how much I like everything else about the TV. There’s plenty of inputs and plenty of room to attach without using an “extension” cable for things like a Chromecast and FireStick (although you probably wouldn’t need them anyways). No RCA connection out the box, but it does come with a splitter to get you that if needed.

I got this to replace a Vizio 39" TV. After hanging it to the wall it took only 15 minutes to install. The setup to WiFi was automatic. Setup of Prime and Netflix was equally easy. The picture quality is excellent. I have not changed any settings to the picture. The picture isnt very good looking at it from an angle. I especially like the sound quality. The Vizio sound quality wasnt nearly as good as this is. The remote is a little difficult. Sometimes you have to push a button twice to get it to respond. The manual is very much lacking in instructions. I would highly recommend this TV to anyone looking for a quality 40" TV.

Recently purchased this because previous TV wouldn’t stop freezing. Had this one about a month and works great so far. I don’t really use the “Smart” features but it has all of that stuff. I downloaded the MLB app and streamed a free game and the picture was amazing. Then the season ended. Very nice and small bezel all around. Tiny red LED light on underside (next to power button) when TV is off. (Last TV had a big red light facing forward). I got the 50” and it was lightweight enough for me to mount to the wall by myself, but I am not small. Would recommend that most people will need 2 people.

I bought this to replace my 9 year old Sharp 1080p LCD so I can get the most out of my PS4 Pro and it looks good, good color and clarity, super light weight, has all the connections I need. I will update after owning it some time. Only Con I see out of the box is the feet are pretty small if your going to just set it on a piece of furniture Im not conviced it would be super stable, this is not a concern for me as I wall mounted, but its something to note. Note on Mounting: I have a 10+ year old universal mount (Which was more than adequate for this TV) however samsungs instructions are not clear on the exact bolts you need for the TV or if the included spacers are required for non-versa mounting systems. 1.) Yes, the included spacers are requires regardless of mounting system, the top stick out and the bottom will be flush when inserted so dont be alarmed. 2.) they list in the instructions 43-45mm long M8, 1.25 twist bolts for my 55" version, once at the hardware store you will discover there are 40mm and 50mm bolts but nothing in between, I got 4 of each just to be safe and found that the 50mm where perfect and the 40mm would have be far too short (not sure 45mm would either if you find some), so get 50mm, 1.25 twist, M8 Bolts.
