Samsung 55 Inch UA55DU7010U Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV (2024 Model)

The Samsung UA55DU7010U is an entry-level Crystal UHD 4K TV from Samsung’s 2024 D-series lineup (DU7000/DU7010 variant), tailored for budget-conscious users seeking reliable smart TV basics for everyday viewing like streaming, sports, and casual gaming. It’s part of the global DU7000 series, with the “U” suffix indicating regions like India, South Africa, and the Middle East. Released in mid-2024, it emphasizes vibrant colors via PurColor technology and Tizen OS for seamless app access, but it’s a no-frills model without advanced features like local dimming or high refresh rates. As 2025 models emerge, it’s now a value option, often bundled with soundbars or discounted during sales.

Key Features
- Display and Picture: 55-inch (139 cm) VA LED panel with 4K UHD resolution (3840 x 2160) and Crystal Processor 4K for upscaling non-4K content to near-4K sharpness. Supports HDR10+ for enhanced dynamic range, PurColor for fine-tuned, lifelike colors (up to 1 billion shades), and Contrast Enhancer for better depth in bright/dark scenes. 60Hz refresh rate with Motion Xcelerator to reduce blur in fast action.

- Audio: 20W 2.0-channel speakers with Object Tracking Sound Lite (OTS Lite) for directional audio and Q-Symphony to sync with compatible Samsung soundbars for immersive sound.
- Gaming and Connectivity: Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for reduced input lag (~10ms), but limited to 60Hz—no VRR, 120Hz, or HDMI 2.1, so it’s casual-gamer friendly. Ports: 3x HDMI 2.0 (one eARC), 1x USB 2.0, Ethernet, optical audio, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2.
- Design and Extras: Slim Look with 3 Bezel-Less design and adjustable Slim Lift Stand (fits soundbars underneath). AI Energy Mode optimizes brightness for power savings, and Samsung Knox secures data. Dimensions: ~1230 x 708 x 59 mm (without stand); weight ~13.3 kg.
Performance and User Feedback

This TV shines in well-lit rooms with solid color vibrancy and upscaling for streaming (e.g., Netflix/Disney+ in 4K), making it great for family setups or sports. Motion handling is decent for the price, and Tizen’s interface is snappy with easy smart home integration. However, contrast is average (no local dimming, so blacks look gray in dark rooms), viewing angles are narrow (VA panel), and audio is basic—pair it with a soundbar.
