Samsung television on sale at reduced price

Boulanger is selling the Samsung TU55M72H, a 55-inch 4K Mini LED television, for 499 € during its "Les jours ++" promotion, which ends on October 29. The original price is 649 €, and members of Boulanger's loyalty program can get an extra 20 € off.

Mini LED technology for improved contrast

The television uses Mini LED backlighting, which includes smaller and more numerous LEDs controlled by Supreme Mini LED Dimming. This allows for more precise light control, resulting in better contrast in dark scenes compared to traditional LCDs.

Compatibility with HDR and streaming platforms

The TU55M72H supports HDR10+ and HLG formats, the latter commonly used for sports and TV broadcasts in HDR. It runs on Samsung's Tizen system and includes AirPlay 2 for displaying content from iPhones and Macs without additional hardware.

Designed for films, series, and sports

The television is aimed at users who mainly watch films, series, and sports and want a recent 4K screen without spending more than 500 €. It includes a Football mode and the Vision AI Companion assistant for recommendations and questions. The sound system has two 20 W speakers with OTS Lite effects.

Comparison with other models

At this price, the TU55M72H is mainly compared to entry-level Mini LED TVs from Chinese brands like Hisense. The Hisense U7Q, for instance, supports up to 144 Hz in VRR and Dolby Vision IQ, but the Samsung offers seven years of Tizen system updates.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths of the Samsung include the Mini LED backlight, HDR10+ and HLG support, three HDMI 2.1 ports, eARC, and seven years of Tizen updates. Limitations include a 60 Hz display without 120 Hz support, no Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos, and a 20 W 2.0 sound system that benefits from a soundbar. It also has an energy class F rating with unspecified zones.
