Samsung U7900 Series UN55U7900FFXZA 55"
78 out of 100 medium confidence 15 reviews
The Samsung 55-inch U7900 Series UHD 4K TV is well-liked for its excellent picture quality, vibrant colors, and sleek design. On the downside, the smart interface can be sluggish and cluttered with ads, and the remote is oddly small for some hands. Sound is decent for a slim TV, and most users find it a great value for the price.
