I can’t wait for the review , the tv is great, I see vertical lines moving up and down especially in a blue screen they are hard to see though so it’s not a big deal I just wanna know if it’s related to Samsung’s ABL or is it my panel Thank you you are amazing guys

I acquired this new 2023 Samsung 43" CU7000 TV, and to my dismay, there were 7 small, grey, round spots in a spaced grid-like pattern around the center of the screen (yes, I had removed the plastic film, I had most updated firmware, and I tweaked the picture settings to no avail). Did you encounter such a defect in your testing?

Hi thefireofwisdom,

Sorry to hear you’re having problems with your CU7000. We didn’t notice this issue on the 65-inch unit that we purchased.

Thanks, Matt

Hello, I was wondering if this review is also good for the CU 7000B and was also wondering why the colorspace is not finished. It has red, but none of the other spectrums.

Hi! The CU7000B is the wal-mart variant of the CU7000, and should perform the same as the other variants. As for your color space question, I’m not sure of what you mean. Can you go into more detail?

I have the 43" CU7000 And even turning off the Auto Brightness thing, it still dims and brightness in scenes. Which isn’t ambient from outside, but inside for the environment of the show. So, is that a different setting somewhere? It’s not too invasive, but not used to it.

Can you please clarify two things about PC Mode with 4k@60Hz chrome 4:4:4 when connected to PC for CU7000 and CU8000 as well:

1. Is there any dithering that you mentioned in Pixel section?
2. Is it flicker free as computer monitor?

P.S. Section with PC Mode in review would be a great idea.

Hi there,

CU7000

1.As per our review in the Pixel section you can see there is some visible dithering in the blue and red subpixels, which can lead to dithering in some scenes. The reviews images seem to look ok and nothing stands out too much.

2.The TV uses pulse width modulation (PWM) to dim its backlight, resulting in flicker that’ll annoy users who are sensitive to it. Unlike the Samsung CU8000, the Samsung CU7000 is “flicker free” at max brightness (and it would start to introduce flicker below Brightness19 setting on the slider. It refers to all other picture modes in the review.

CU8000

1.No apparent dithering on this unit.

2.The Samsung CU8000 uses pulse width modulation (PWM) to dim its backlight, resulting in flicker that’ll annoy users who are sensitive to it. This TV is never flicker-free at any brightness level, and changing picture modes doesn’t change anything on this front.

I hope this helps. As always we appreciate the suggestion and will take it into consideration for the future.

Hi, regarding the Samsung CU7000, please I need more information about its wireless casting and screen mirroring capabilities.

Can we screen mirror natively from Windows 10/11 ? like add it as wireless projection? Does it support screen mirroring from Macbook or iPhone? And can we cast from Chrome browser or Chromebook?

Also if screen mirroring works, on other Samsung models when you mirror the screen it appears in a box, not full screen, you have to click Back and then select “Exit” so it goes to full screen. Is it the same issue on CU7000 ?

Hi, the Samsung CU7000 does support wireless casting and mirroring on Windows 10 and 11. When using Google Chrome for casting, it’s limited to certain websites like YouTube. Unfortunately, mirroring the entire display in Google Chrome isn’t supported. To address the cropped screen issue, I found that enabling native support for full-screen mirroring is possible by extending the display in the settings.

Hello. As you know, the 85-inch version of the Samsung CU7000 model has direct backlighting. Do you think this will make the 85 inch version brighter? Or does it give the same brightness performance as edge backlighting? Thanks.

Hi! In theory direct lit panels can get brighter than edge lit ones, but unfortunately without testing it ourselves we can’t say for sure.

Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Hello. Question, is it possible to connect the BN59-01300G remote control (or analogues) to the NU85CU7000 model? Thank you!

Hi! The CU7000’s remote is the BN59-01388A, so look for a replacement remote that is compatible with that particular code!

Do not buy this TV if using the ESPN+ app is important to you. From the day I purchased it 8 weeks ago the issues have been too numerous to mention. I’ve been in contact with ESPN+, Samsung, and Spectrum. I get the same old canned responses and troubleshooting tips, none of which have made a difference. I guess it’s just one of those configurations that doesn’t work, but I’m shocked I’ve not seen or read more about this with all the research I did prior to purchase.

What is the difference between the CU7000 and CU7100? I just bought the UE55CU7172U version but I haven’t received it yet.

The CU7000 and CU7100 are the same TVs with a few very minor exceptions. The CU7100 is the UK variant, so it uses a DVB-T tuner instead of ATSC. Other than that, it’s just aesthetic differences, like the black frame and stand that the CU7100 uses instead of the Titan Gray color used on the CU7000. Thanks, and I hope that helps!

I’m from Europe, Hungary, and I’m looking at a TV with this model number: UE65CU7172UXXH, the best I could decipher is that that the model code here is CU7172, however I found absolutely no information about the particular model online. The UXXH at the end supposedly means that U - contains a European compatible tuner and the XH at the end that it’s for the Romanian market (as far as terrestrial broadcasting goes).

Is this the same TV? How to make sure? The TV is not on display anywhere I live so it’s hard to be sure of anything.

Hi! According to Samsung’s website here it does seem like that model is indeed the CU7000.

i found an error in this review. it says in the introduction that it “replaces the Samsung AU7000 in North America,” but in reality, it more likely replaces the TU7000 from 2020.

I’m not sure that’s an error, since the AU7000 itself replaces the TU7000, it logically follows that the CU7000 replaces the AU7000, not the TU7000.

The wording under ‘Flicker-Free’ is a little confusing.

Is the CU7000 completely flicker-free in “Movie mode or all other picture modes”, and only flickers in “Game Mode when the brightness is set to 19 or below”?

Hey there! Sorry about the confusion. That section can definitely be clearer, and we’ll fix that. The CU7000 is flicker free in all picture modes (except game) with the brightness set to 20 or higher. In ‘Movie’ mode with the brightness set to ‘19’ and under, the TV flickers at 480Hz. All other picture modes flicker at 120Hz with the brightness set to ‘19’ and under.

In Game Mode, the TV flickers at 120Hz with all brightness settings. If you enable BFI, it flickers at 60Hz no matter what the brightness is set to. I hope that clears things up!

yes, the CU7000 replaced the AU7000, but that isn’t true in North America. maybe [just maybe] it would be better to say it replaced the Samsung TU7000 in North America, but it replaced the Samsung AU7000 in other regions.
