External Reviews

pcmag^[1]

Reviewer score 29% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from pcmag have found:

, and right buttons feel the same as the surrounding menu and service buttons, requiring you to look down at the remote to navigate any menu. The RU7100 failed to impress with its contrast and color performance. In Movie mode, the TV shows an input lag of 61.3 milliseconds when testing with an HDFury 4K Diva HDMI matrix.

Pros

Solid picture quality
Supports AirPlay 2 and voice assistant controls
Comfortable stand

Cons

Mediocre contrast
Disappointing input lag

rtings^[2]

Reviewer score 35% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from rtings have found:

This is a good TV for mixed usage. It's more suitable for darker rooms as it can't get very bright to overcome glare. It has a low input lag that makes it very responsive, but you have to sit straight in front to enjoy the most accurate image. Unfortunately, it can not remove 24p judder from any source.

Pros

Excellent native contrast ratio
Low input lag
Good reflection handling
Great response time

Cons

Can't get very bright
Doesn't remove 24p judder from any source
Poor viewing angles

Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from tomsguide have found:

With edge-lit backlight and no local dimming, the RU7100 offers surprisingly good brightness. It's one of the most responsive sets we've seen all year, and a top choice for gaming. Samsung's basic remote, which comes with the NU7100, is a bit of a mess.

Pros

Great picture quality
Robust app selection
Great sound

Cons

No Dolby Vision support
Limited HDR performance
