As a 4K TV model in Samsung’s lowest price segment, the 50DU7000 will be quite limited in display technology.

Each type with different panels will produce different display results. The model used in the review in the article has an IPS panel.
The strength of the IPS panel is that it provides the 50DU7000 with very good viewing angles. Users can see that color and contrast are not reduced when viewed from different angles. PurColor technology also helps reproduce colors vividly and richly. However, with this panel, the reflection phenomenon is quite obvious, especially when there are many strong light sources around the TV.
Besides, the maximum brightness of this panel is not very good, only about 235 nits (100% of the screen), which can make users feel unsatisfied in bright scenes, contrast ratio is 821:1. not too ideal either. Furthermore, a disadvantage of edge LED technology is that there will be light spillage at the corners of the screen, which is most visible when viewing content with subtitles.
Those are the problems of the Samsung 50DU7000 model using an IPS panel, but with a VA panel, things will probably be different. The nature of the VA panel has high contrast, so we can expect that the 50DU7000 VA can achieve higher brightness and better image depth, but it is difficult to maintain good viewing angles and rich colors like the panel. IPS platform.
In addition to the above points, this TV with 4K resolution and the processing ability of the Crystal 4K chip provides very good and effective upscaling capabilities for all types of content. The gaming experience is also quite good even though the TV’s native scan frequency is only 50Hz, the input lag is measured at about 10ms with 4K 50Hz/60Hz content, the screen response speed is about 14 – 15ms.
The TV also supports HDR, but only HDR10+ format. The HDR content experience is generally not ideal, the contrast has increased but not as significantly as high-end models.
3. Sound quality of Samsung 50DU7000

The sound is generally clear but not strong, especially the lack of bass makes the experience of listening to music or watching action movies difficult. Not really impressive. In addition, although the TV has OTS Lite (Object Tracking Sound Lite) technology, the vividness is not as expected, it is limited partly because the speaker power is too weak.
