I want to compare the Samsung 40NU7100 vs Samsung UN40MU6290 and find out the difference between these popular models. The first one was presented in the 2018 year and belongs to the NU7100 series. All such devices have PurColor technology and very slim design. The second one appeared on the market in the 2017 year and is a representative of a MU6290 series. It has an incredible fluid motion and UHD Resolution. Both models belong to the medium price niche.
The 40NU7100 has a very solid contrast and greatly produces deep dark scenes. The Samsung 40NU7100 vs UN40MU6290 collation demonstrates that the first one has better gray uniformity and reflection handling than the second one. At the same time, I definitely like the UN40MU6290 presets for different picture modes. The Dynamic mode is the most universal and reflects the real colors.
Both models support popular streaming services, but the UN40MU6290 starts the HBO only after a few launch attempts. On the 40NU7100 I can easily run HBO, Hulu, Netflix, etc. The mentioned TV doesn’t have a Bluetooth, so I can’t use Bluetooth audio streaming, unlike the UN40MU6290. The 40NU7100 versus UN40MU6290 Wi-Fi simile shows that the first model has much better Wi-Fi coverage area and the signal is stronger than in the second.
The Samsung 40NU7100 has plastic legs that look reliable but have a strange smell. They are wide enough to fit a soundbar in a front part. The UN40MU6290 is supplemented by the small footprint, thanks to which I can easily reach the side inputs. The 40NU7100 borders (0.55") are thinner than UN40MU6290 (0.67"). The Samsung UN40MU6290 vs 40NU7100 build quality comparison shows that these TVs don’t produce creaks and each detail is made on a high level.
