Our Verdict
Samsung NU7300
Samsung RU7300
The Samsung RU7300 is the replacement for the Samsung NU7300, and there are no significant differences between the two. The RU7300 now supports 1440p, and it has a dedicated component input at the back, instead of the adapter used by the NU7300. The RU7300 also adds support for 5 GHz wifi.
