Is the Samsung U7900 a good TV for the money?

It is a solid entry-level 4K set for everyday streaming, sports and family viewing. It lacks local dimming and quantum-dot color, so it trails QLED and mini-LED models on contrast and brightness.

Does it have local dimming or quantum dots?

No. The U7900 is a standard LED-backlit Crystal UHD panel without local dimming or a quantum-dot layer, which is why blacks and colors are more modest than Samsung's QLED lines.

What is the refresh rate?

The panel is 60Hz native, with motion smoothing to reduce judder. That is fine for movies and broadcast TV but not ideal for high-frame-rate gaming.

Which streaming apps and voice assistants does it support?

It runs Samsung's Tizen platform with Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, Disney+, Hulu and more, and works with Bixby, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

What connections does it have?

It includes HDMI, USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ethernet, enough for a soundbar, console and streaming stick. A high-speed HDMI cable is included.

Is it good for gaming?

It handles casual console gaming, but the 60Hz panel and lack of advanced gaming features like variable refresh rate make it a better pick for movies and sports than competitive play.

About the Samsung UN65U790KIT1 65 inch Class U7900 Series 4K UHD Smart TV (2025)

This is a 65-inch Samsung U7900 Series 4K UHD smart TV from 2025. It shows 4K picture with color and detail for movies, shows, and sports.

Samsung's Crystal Processor enhances color, contrast, and clarity. It also upscales HD content closer to true 4K quality. High Dynamic Range improves brightness and contrast, so more detail shows in both dark and bright scenes. Motion handling reduces blur and judder in fast-moving scenes such as sports, action movies, and live TV.

The smart TV interface lets you stream Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, Disney+, Hulu, and more. It works with Samsung Bixby, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant for hands-free control. HDMI, USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet connections support soundbars, gaming consoles, and streaming devices. The design is clean and minimalist.
