You’re in the right place.

In this blogpost, we walk you through the specs and features of the TV, and tell you all you need to know about it.

We’ll cover:

PS: Did you know that you can purchase a Samsung Crystal UHD DU7000 4K TV using our interest-free instalment plan over 12, 24, or 36 months via your Singtel bill?  

Here are the specs of the Samsung DU7000: 

If these sound like Greek to you, don’t worry – we’ll explain some of these features in the following sections!

For its display, the Samsung DU7000 comes with a 4K resolution and 50Hz refresh rate.

For the uninitiated, 4K resolution is the de facto standard for high-definition displays due to its excellent balance of resolution, affordability, and compatibility with a wide range of content.

With four times the pixel density of Full HD, 4K offers great clarity and detail, making it ideal for everything from immersive gaming to cinematic viewing experiences.

The DU7000 also comes with a 50Hz refresh rate, where refresh rate = how often your screen refreshes its image per second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

Typically, a higher refresh rate results in less lag, especially in fast paced activities (such as when you’re gaming, or watching sports).

While a 50Hz is not the highest available in the market, it still provides smooth motion and minimizes motion blur.

Unless you’re into competitive gaming, a refresh rate of 50Hz should be adequate for your needs.

The Samsung DU7000 comes with a Crystal Processor 4K picture engine, HDR and HDR10+, and Motion Xcelerator and Contrast Enhancer features. 

That’s a lot of features, so let’s break it down.

Crystal Processor 4K picture engine

Firstly, the Crystal Processor 4K picture engine is a feature of the Samsung DU7000 that enhances the quality of the displayed content.

Picture engines like this one are essentially image processing systems built into the TV, designed to upscale lower-resolution content to 4K while also improving colour accuracy, contrast, and overall picture quality.

Let’s say you’re watching an older show like 'Friends' on Netflix, and the show isn’t in 4K.

The picture engine will help to compensate for lower-resolution content, ensuring that it still looks sharp and vibrant on the Samsung DU7000's display.

HDR and HDR10+ technology

The Samsung DU7000 features HDR (High Dynamic Range) and HDR10+ technology, which enhances the viewing experience by providing greater contrast, brightness, and a wider range of colours compared to standard dynamic range displays.

To unpack this a bit, HDR allows the TV to display a wider range of brightness levels, from deep blacks to bright highlights, resulting in more lifelike and immersive images.

HDR10+ takes this further by dynamically optimizing the HDR content scene by scene, ensuring that each frame is displayed with the most accurate colours and contrast possible.

For example, say you’re watching a nature documentary on the Samsung DU7000.

The HDR and HDR10+ technology would make the lush greenery of forests appear more vibrant, and render the sunlight filtering through the trees with greater intensity and detail.

Motion Xcelerator and Contrast Enhancer

Finally, the Samsung DU7000 also comes with Motion Xcelerator and Contrast Enhancer features for a better viewing experience.

Motion Xcelerator minimizes motion blur and enhances the smoothness of fast-moving scenes, which is particularly beneficial for action-packed content like sports or fast-paced gaming.

Meanwhile, the Contrast Enhancer is somewhat similar to HDR.

This feature dynamically adjusts the contrast levels of the display, optimizing the brightness and darkness of different parts of the image to deliver deeper blacks and brighter whites. 

If you like playing games on your TV, you’ll be happy to know that the Samsung DU7000 comes with several gaming features.

This includes: 

Auto Game Mode (ALLM)

ALLM automatically detects when a gaming console is connected to the TV and switches the display into its low-latency game mode.

This mode minimizes input lag, ensuring that gamers experience smooth and responsive gameplay without having to manually adjust settings.

Variable Refresh Rate (VRR)

VRR, or Variable Refresh Rate, makes sure that the TV's screen refreshes at the same speed as the game's graphics are being generated by the console.

This helps to avoid issues like choppy movement or screen tearing, giving you smoother gameplay and a better overall experience.

HDR Gaming Interest Group (HGiG)

HGiG is a set of guidelines developed by leading gaming and display manufacturers to optimize HDR settings specifically for gaming.

The DU7000's HGiG support ensures that HDR gaming content is displayed with the highest level of fidelity and consistency, providing gamers with a more immersive gaming experience.

To sum up, the Samsung DU7000 presents a compelling array of features that enhance both viewing and gaming experiences.

With its 4K resolution, HDR support, and gaming-focused technologies like Auto Game Mode, VRR, and HGiG, the DU7000 offers impressive picture quality and responsiveness.
