Samsung Electronics Qn55q7f 55-inch 4k Ultra Hd Smart Qled Tv (2017 Model) Review

Examination Results

Design

Curved No

The design of the Samsung Q7F QLED Boob tube is an improvement over the 2016 models such as the KS8000. It looks great, with thin borders and a sleek stand. The OneConnect box is bulkier than last year, and the need for two power points (1 for the Television set and 1 for the OneConnect box) is a questionable design choice, but required since the only cable between the OneConnect and Tv set is optical.

The central stand feels very secure and supports the Telly well. The apartment blueprint of information technology looks meliorate than Samsung's 2016 models such as the KS9000.

There is an selection for two alternative stand designs, the 'gravity stand up' and the 'easel stand'.

Note that information technology is possible to road the cables through the stand, as visible hither.

Footprint of the 55" TV stand up: eleven.2" x 33.v"

Wall Mount VESA 400x400

The back of the TV is plastic simply looks quite good. Due to the OneConnect box, the only two cables into the back of the Boob tube are the optical OneConnect cablevision and a power cable. These can both be hidden behind panels. The OneConnect box and the Television each require a split up power cablevision.

Borders 0.31" (0.viii cm)

The borders of the TV are very sparse and await great. They have a similar design to the 2016 KS9000 with a polished metal finish.

Max Thickness 1.54" (3.nine cm)

The TV is very thin and looks great from the side.

Maximum Temperature 115 °F (46 °C)

Boilerplate Temperature 100 °F (38 °C)

The QLED Television is edge lit from the bottom as shown past the much higher temperatures along the bottom edge. This makes the lesser edge warm to the touch, but this shouldn't be a problem for normal usage. The One Connect box likewise gets warm, up to 41 °C, but again this shouldn't be a trouble.

The build quality of the Q7 QLED TV is an improvement over Samsung'south 2016 models. The remote is exceptional, with a premium feel to the metal unibody. The cardinal stand up feels more sturdy than the KS9000 stand and although the back is made out of plastic, it clips into place securely which is an improvement over the glue on the KS8000.

Update 02/06/2018: We have received reports that newer models of the Q7F no longer come up with the metallic trunk remote, and instead come up with the cheaper feeling remote constitute in the MU* Series of TVs seen here.

Picture Quality

Native Contrast 4,709 : 1

Contrast with local dimming 4,704 : ane

The native dissimilarity ratio of the Q7F is cracking. This high contrast ratio will provide a skillful pic experience, especially for those who lookout movies in a dark room. This is slightly worse than the KS* TVs of 2016.

With local dimming enabled, the dissimilarity ratio is about the aforementioned. This is a effect of the poor local dimming operation.

Update 04/21/2017: The contrast ratio has been retested with the latest firmware update. It remains almost exactly the aforementioned.

Local Dimming Yeah

Backlight Border

The local dimming of the Q7F edge-lit Television set is not so slap-up, similar on well-nigh other edge-lit TVs. In fact, when compared side past side with the Samsung KS8000 the local dimming on both TVs expect and behave almost the same. Vertical blooming is visible when there is a bright highlight. Notation that on the Q7F, the local dimming cannot be totally turned off, the minimum setting is 'Low'.

SDR Sustained 100% Window 121 cd/m²

SDR ABL 0.097

Decent SDR peak brightness overall, only the effulgence varies a lot depending on the average effulgence of the content shown. When bright scenes are shown, like our real scene and 100% white window tests, the TV dims considerably; however when a 2% or 10% window is displayed the TV gets very brilliant initially, then it cycles between bright and dim approximately every 30 seconds. This drastic brightness divergence depending on the content thankfully doesn't occur in PC manner, and then white web pages won't be dimmed.

Local Dimming was gear up to High for these tests. Other values weren't every bit brilliant.

The higher up results are for Movie style calibrated to 6500k; in Dynamic mode many test patterns are brighter, as shown in the table below. Note that Dynamic way isn't as true to the source textile as Film mode considering it uses unlike settings, such equally a cooler colour temperature.

Update 03/fifteen/2017: We bought a 2nd unit and the peak brightness is in the same ballpark. Run across the additional review notes for more information.

Update 05/12/2017: The Goggle box has been retested with the latest firmware (1017.i) and it's slightly brighter than earlier. The scores have been updated, and a plot of the new brightness is shown hither.

Update 06/22/2017: Samsung got back to us regarding their investigation. See their statement here.

Update 07/05/2017: We improved the Goggle box's brightness by realigning the light guide plates past dropping the Idiot box, every bit shown in this video. The brightness increased a bit, past 30-100 cd/m², at the cost of worse uniformity. The brightness scores take been updated, and an updated brightness plot is shown here.

Decent HDR peak brightness. The TV cycles betwixt bright and dim when displaying a ii% or x% window. Local dimming brightens the smaller window sizes more than the larger ones, just the worst case effulgence is still not bad. However the brightness of this Q7F is noticeably worse than the KS8000 and KS9000 from last year.

The above results are for Movie mode calibrated to 6500k; in Dynamic way many test patterns are brighter, equally shown in the table below. Note that Dynamic way isn't as true to the source material every bit Movie mode because it uses different settings, such equally a cooler color temperature.

Update 03/15/2017: We bought a 2nd unit of measurement and the height effulgence is in the same ballpark. See the additional review notes for more information.

Update 05/12/2017: The Goggle box has been retested with the latest firmware (1017.1) and it's slightly brighter than earlier. The scores have been updated, and a plot of the new brightness is shown hither.

Update 06/22/2017: Samsung got back to united states regarding their investigation. Come across their argument here.

Update 07/05/2017: We improved the TV'southward brightness by realigning the low-cal guide plates by dropping the Goggle box, as shown in this video. The brightness increased a scrap, by 30-100 cd/thousand², at the cost of worse uniformity. The brightness scores have been updated, and an updated brightness plot is shown here.

5% Std. Dev. 0.778%

five% DSE 0.106%

The Samsung Q7 has an overall good gray uniformity. There is not too much dirty screen upshot, but the overall uniformity is a chip worse than platonic. This is because both sides are relatively darker than the residue of the screen and the bottom also looks warmer than the upper part of the screen. At that place is a few brighter small spots on the bottom edge, but outrageous.

On the five% gray uniformity picture the bottom of the screen looks a flake brighter near the edges. Besides that nothing really stands out which is a good matter.

Color Shift 27°

Effulgence 35°

Blackness Level 25°

This viewing angle is bad, only non as bad as most TVs with a VA panel. When this TV is viewed from the side blacks will look gray and colors will change.

Native Std. Dev. 1.618%

Std. Dev. due west/ 50.D. 1.640%

The Q7F overall black uniformity could be better. Some clouding tin exist seen on the screen while displaying our exam prototype, specially in both left corners. On our test flick, this clouding is a bit harder to discover, while the vertical blooming around the white cross is very obvious.

With the local dimming set to loftier, there is a bit more blooming visible around the center cross, since we needed to set the backlight higher to reach our desired luminance of 100 (measure on the cross). The higher backlight cause more blooming in general, this is why the standard departure is a big higher than the native black uniformity. This also means that the local dimming feature is not as good as on TVs with an FALD, like the Sony X900E.

Note that we could not disable the local dimming feature completely to exam the black uniformity of this Television receiver, even in PC style. This reduces the black uniformity due to the uneven brightness of the screen.

Screen Terminate Glossy

Full Reflections 1.five%

Indirect Reflections 0.five%

The Q7F is fantabulous at handling reflections. In that location is a purple tint, similar to the Samsung KS8500 and LG B6 of 2016, but this coating works well to reduce the intensity of reflections.

Flick Fashion Movie

White Balance dE iii.02

Color dE 2.37

Gamma 2.28

Color Temperature half-dozen,048 K

Out of the box the picture is great. The white balance is a bit warm with the 'Warm2' colour temperature even though it is closest to the 6500K target, but with a dE of three.02 it is still an adequate value. The gamma is not flat, but the overall value is still pretty close to the goal of 2.two which is good. The color reproduction is pretty skillful, with simply the cyan having a college dE than other colors.

Picture Manner Movie

White Balance dE 0.31

Color dE one.64

Gamma ii.21

Color Temperature 6,567 Yard

The calibration process is relatively easy to do with the 2 points, x points and color management system provided. With those tools, the white residue dE was brought down to a negligible 0.31 dE, which is excellent. The gamma value did non modify also much (from ii.28 to 2.21), but the gamma tracks the ii.ii target much closer. The color fault was brought down considerably, but fifty-fifty then the cyan is still a bit less precise than the other colors.

You tin see our recommended settings for this Samsung QLED TV here.

Upscaling of low-quality content such equally DVDs is skillful, details are preserved well.

720p content such as cablevision TV looks skilful. The image isn't too soft and there is a minimum of artifacts.

1080p content such as Blu-rays look skilful. The image remains clear and no issues can exist seen.

When using our warm calibrated settings, approximately one-half of the blue sub-pixel turns off (see a close-up of the pixels here). This results in some strange artifacts when close to the Telly. Nosotros have seen a like result with some TCL TVs such as the US5800. This isn't a pregnant issue as information technology is only visible with a warm color temperature when very close to the TV, and doesn't affect normal content very much.

Update 04/04/2017: The sub-pixel dimming algorithm depends on the content displayed on the screen. It is most obvious when displaying an image of low APL but with some brilliant areas. This video of the sub-pixels showing the effect was taken by increasing the effulgence of a static epitome. The issue is most noticeable when the full green sub-pixel is on, but just part of the red or blue sub-pixels.

Wide Colour Gamut Aye

DCI P3 xy 99.02%

DCI P3 uv 99.28%

Rec 2020 xy 73.56%

Rec 2020 uv 77.21%

This colour gamut is outstanding, slightly better than the LG OLED B6, C6 and E6 which scored the highest in 2016. HDR content mastered in the DCI P3 color infinite is reproduced almost perfectly, and content with Rec 2020 color is reproduced well. The colour infinite changes automatically when an HDR source is detected.

Update 06/13/2017: Tested the HDR EOTF. In the 'Movie' film mode it follows the PQ bend adequately closely, though it starts to deviate at effectually 50% stimulus, condign too dim. The 'PC' fashion EOTF here begins to deviate significantly starting at twoscore%, making vivid shades more dim than they should exist.

Normalized DCI P3 Coverage ITP 89.1%

10,000 cd/m² DCI P3 Coverage ITP 45.2%

Normalized Rec 2020 Coverage ITP 72.2%

x,000 cd/m² Rec 2020 Coverage ITP 36.9%

This color volume is proficient, with slightly ameliorate functioning than the B6, C6 and E6 and noticeably better performance than the Samsung KS* TVs of 2016. The Tv set can produce saturated colors especially at higher brightness. The darker colors cannot get as saturated as OLED TVs though.

Color Depth 10 Bit

Cherry-red (Std. Dev.) 0.150

Green (Std. Dev.) 0.168

Blue (Std. Dev.) 0.133

Grey (Std. Dev.) 0.201

The Q7 tin can display our gradient examination image without any of the significant banding usually visible on an 8-fleck panel. Some imperfections in the darker colors are visible in the examination moving picture, simply the grayscale performs quite well. These imperfections are not significant enough to be an issue for normal content.

IR after four min recovery 0.00%

IR later half dozen min recovery 0.00%

IR after eight min recovery 0.00%

IR later ten min recovery 0.00%

This QLED TV is retention-free, like most other LED TVs with VA panels. As seen in the test picture, no faint after-images remain on the screen.

Permanent Burn down-In Risk No

Nosotros don't expect VA panels to experience permanent image retention, equally the VA console in our long-term test appears immune.

When calibrated to our warm colour temperature of 6500K, some regions of the blue subpixels reduce in brightness significantly. This results in some strange artifacts when viewed from very close. At a cooler colour temperature, this issue is less meaning every bit seen in the pixel photo hither.

Motion

80% Response Time four.six ms

100% Response Time 8.1 ms

The response time of the Samsung Q7 QLED TV is fantabulous and results in only a short trail following moving objects. This is a meaning improvement over the KS* series of TVs, peculiarly in the 0% - 20% transition.

Flicker-Free No

PWM Dimming Frequency 120 Hz

When in the 'Picture show' picture way, the backlight uses PWM dimming to limit the backlight, even at the maximum backlight setting. As a event the oscilloscope results higher up are using the 'PC' icon, which doesn't limit the backlight. The Q7F uses PWM at 120Hz to dim the backlight, starting at 20/20 backlight setting. Lowering the setting down to 14/20 lowers backlight aamplitude, while lowering it from 13/twenty shortens the duty cycle, while amplitude remains constant. Backlight that uses PWM results in duplications post-obit moving objects simply does clear up motion slightly.

Update 03/30/2018: Scaled the 'Luminosity' axis of the plots; now the Flicker-Free plots and the new BFI plot have the same 'Luminosity' axis.

Optional BFI Yes

Min Flicker for lx fps sixty Hz

60 Hz for threescore fps Yes

120 Hz for 120 fps Yep

Min Flicker for lx fps in Game Mode 120 Hz

Although the 'LED Clear Motion' option exists in the TV menu, it doesn't really reduce the flicker frequency of the backlight. The backlight dims, but continues to flicker at 120Hz. This is the same result as the KS9000 from 2016.

Update 03/30/2018: It was discovered that many 2017 Samsung TVs change their BFI frequency to sixty Hz when a lot of 60 Hz motility is detected on screen. The score, photograph and plots have been updated.

Motility Interpolation (30 fps) Yes

Move Interpolation (60 fps) Aye

The Q7 has a 120Hz panel which is able to interpolate lower frame rate content. Add the soap opera consequence by setting 'Auto Motion Plus' to 'Custom' and increase the sliders. The 'De-judder' slider works on 30fps and lower content, and the 'De-blur' slider works on sixty fps content.

Frame Hold Time @ 24 fps 33.vi ms

Frame Agree Fourth dimension @ 60 fps 8.6 ms

The Samsung Q7F provides a less smooth than average experience watching movies and 60fps content. Those who are sensitive may notice some stutter for 24fps content as the pixel response is fairly sharp, so the image is static for ~33ms each frame. 60 fps content appears shine.

Judder-Free 24p Aye

Judder-Free 24p via 60p Yes

Judder-Free 24p via 60i Yep

Judder-Free 24p via Native Apps Aye

For judder free playback of 24p cloth without introducing the soap opera event, it is necessary to set up 'Motorcar Motion plus' to 'Custom' and leave the sliders at 0.

The Q7F has low input lag in game fashion which is great, and should be good enough for all but the near competitive gamers. The lowest input lag was really found in PC mode, as seen in our iv:4:iv color tests; however it's just 4 ms lower than game mode which is not pregnant.

Note: The game manner setting has moved into 'General' > 'External Device Manager'.

Update 06/13/2017: The PC style HDR problems has been fixed as of firmware 1106, and the 4k @ lx Hz @ 4:four:4 + 8 bit HDR input lag has been remeasured equally 21.4 ms.

1080p @ 60Hz @ 4:4:4 Yes

1080p @ 120Hz No

1440p @ 60Hz No

4k @ 30Hz @ 4:4:4 Yeah

4k @ 60Hz Yes

4k @ 60Hz @ iv:iv:4 Yep

4k @ 120Hz No

All tested resolutions worked except for 120 Hz input. To bear witness 4k @ lx Hz @ four:two:2 or iv:4:4 color 'HDMI UHD color' needs to be enabled. To prove 4:4:4 colour properly the Tv set needs to be in PC manner.

HDR is not supported in PC style; the Telly displays that it is showing HDR (and the gamma in the settings changes to ST. 2084 as information technology should), just information technology does not follow the PQ curve. The MU8000 shows the same behavior, which is visible in this gamma measurement for the MU8000.

Update 06/13/2017: This problem has been stock-still every bit of firmware 1106. HDR is now displayed properly in PC manner, as shown by how this EOTF plot roughly follows the HDR PQ bend.

The but inputs to the Tv set are located on the OneConnect box.

The OneConnect box requires a 2nd power cable, and is much larger than the 2016 model.

We tested the 55" (QN55Q7F) version AA01. For the most function, we expect our review to be valid for the 65" version (QN65Q7F) and 75" version (QN75Q7F).

Update 02/08/2018:We accept received reports that newer models of the Q7F no longer come with the metal body remote, and instead come with the cheaper feeling remote found in the MU* Series of TVs seen here.

If someone comes across a different type of console or if their Samsung Q7F doesn't correspond to our review, permit us know and we will update the review.

Lesser correct: LG B6 (OLED55B6P).  Different our other photographs, this picture wasn't taken nether a controlled environment, so do not draw conclusions from it.

The Samsung Q7F LED Goggle box is a good Television, only it is priced above its competition. In that location are enough of TVs still available that offer equal or even amend performance at a lower price-point. See our recommendations for the best 4k TVs.

55" 65" 75"

The 2018 Samsung Q7FN is better than the 2017 Samsung Q7F. The Q7FN is a lot brighter than the Q7F with all types of content, and the Q7FN has better black uniformity, skillful for dark room viewing. The Q7FN supports some new gaming-oriented technologies, including auto low latency style and a variable refresh rate.

65" 75"

The 2017 Samsung Q7F and 2017 Samsung Q9F offer very like functioning. The Q9F is brighter than the Q7F in SDR and HDR. The Q7F has ameliorate gray uniformity, which is practiced for sports fans. The Q9F uses a different border-lighting system, with the LEDs on the side of the TV. This allows the Q9F to turn off horizontal bars, good when watching widescreen movies.

55" 65" 75"

The Samsung Q8C is slightly better than the Samsung Q7F. Overall functioning is very like between the ii. The Q8C is slightly brighter with SDR and HDR content. The chief difference between the two TVs is the shape, as the Q8C is curved while the Q7F is apartment.

49" 55" 65" 75" 82"

The Samsung NU8000 is a chip meliorate than the Samsung Q7F 2017. The Samsung can become brighter and is more suitable for a bright room. It also has improve black uniformity, which improves night room performance. The Q7F, on the other hand, tin handle reflections a little amend and has a faster response fourth dimension that delivers crisper moving content.

49" 55" 65" 75" 82" 85"

The Samsung Q70/Q70R QLED is the 2019 version of 2017's Samsung Q7F/Q7 QLED 2017 and performs much improve. The Q70R has a better local dimming characteristic, looks more premium, has higher peak brightness, and better motion handling. On the other hand, the Q7F has a wider color gamut.

49" 55" 65" 75" 82"
