Samsung TU6979 Crystal UHD 4K TV (2020)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Samsung TU6979 is an affordable 4K VA TV in Samsung's 2020 Crystal UHD lineup available in select markets as a variant of the TU7000. It is powered by a basic 8-bit VA panel and available in 75" size classes.
A highlight of the Samsung TU6979 is a high screen-to-body ratio up to 95.65%. Additionally, it supports HDR formats including HDR, HDR10+, and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma).
The 8-bit panel is rather limiting in terms of image quality.
