Very effective HDR can also reproduce fine gradations of shadow detail from black to white, and display a wider range of colors. The benefits of HDR are best revealed on a display with a high peak brightness capability which allows them to present images with more realistic lighting and highlights. HDR (High Dynamic Range) indicates how effectively the TV can reproduce the enhanced quality of HDR content. Some tests are also performed via the TV USB input.

Our unit was manufactured in September 2020 and you can see the label here.Models like the UN75TU7000 are rated on multiple criteria, such as thoseĮvaluated using basic HD content (non-HDR). If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their Samsung TU6900 Series doesn't correspond to our review, let us know and we will update the review. Note that some tests, such as gray uniformity, may vary between individual units.

Overall this TV is a variant of the Samsung TU7000, but it performs closer to the Samsung TU8000.

There's also a Black Friday variant of this TV available in a wide range of sizes, known as the Samsung TU690T. There's also a variant available at Best Buy known as the TU6985 and we expect them to perform the same. There's an 82-inch variant known as the TU6950 that's sold at other retailers, and we expect our review to be valid for that model as well. We tested the 70-inch Samsung TU6980, which is only sold at Best Buy for Black Friday.
