The Game mode doesn’t support VRR, ALLM or but activating it unleashes a class-leading 9.7ms of input lag. While the Samsung TU7020 is SmartThings compatible, that doesn’t extend to operation of the TV or for set-up purpose, despite the TV indicating it can be used for the latter. The interface can be a little sluggish, but not enough to induce fits of rage. All the UK catch-up and on-demand apps are accounted for along with BBC Sounds. Samsung’s sets don’t have Freeview Play, replaced by its TV Plus service. Other apps include Spotify, Tidal, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Now TV. While exclusivity has run out on Apple TV and BT Sport, Apple Music is still under Samsung’s lock and key. Samsung’s Tizen is arguably the class-leading interface. One does support eARC but having two inputs means swapping in and out of sources. Physical connections amount to USB, digital optical, LAN and a terrestrial antenna, but there’s no satellite input and only room for two HDMI inputs. There’s no Bluetooth and the TU7020 has Wi-Fi 4, not the current Wi-Fi 5 standard. However, the one area of disappointment is the number of connections. While not outfitted with the fancier features of its more expensive siblings, the TU7020’s interface, app support and gaming are like what you’d see higher up the range.

The TV is supported by feet at either end, but at this size it shouldn’t pose a problem for placement on stands and tables. The all-black finish offers a point of difference to the TU7100’s dark silver trims. There’s a reassuring feel to its build quality the thin bezel gives the display plenty of prominence and the rear’s curved and brushed finish is of similar quality to more expensive Samsung models. The Samsung TU7020 sports an unobtrusive design that belies its affordable tag. It’s effectively the same as the TU7100 but omits Bluetooth from its spec sheet. The Samsung TU7020 arrived ahead of Black Friday 2020 with an RRP of £429.
