0 -> hey everyone Tech Steve here today we're

1.68 -> going to take a look at this Tu 690t now

4.799 -> we'll tell you Tu comes back from 2020

7.62 -> models so the last thing that we've seen

9.42 -> here in the United States was a tu7000

12.059 -> and a tu 8000. ironically the following

15 -> year we did get an au 8000 but we didn't

17.94 -> get the Au 7000 or 9000 it was only sold

21.66 -> abroad and then the year after that we

24.539 -> haven't seen any bu Series so what that

26.82 -> means is that this TV might be rebranded

29.519 -> from the tu7000 but doesn't make it a

32.52 -> bad TV on this video I'm going to show

34.559 -> you guys everything you need to know

36.059 -> about it we're going to do some gaming

37.5 -> I'm gonna let you hear the audio we're

39.059 -> gonna hook it up to a computer and a lot

40.8 -> more so sit back relax and let's get

43.379 -> started

44.879 -> foreign

51.96 -> before we get into all the details of TV

54.18 -> I would tell you that this is a 43 inch

56.34 -> it is available all the way up to 75

58.44 -> inch and I'll leave that in the

59.82 -> description below plus all these TVs are

62.34 -> VA panels now at the top here has like

65.04 -> this titanium gray finish to it around

67.5 -> the sides there's like a thick border

69.299 -> and the feet at the bottom just snaps

71.159 -> right into place and the center of TV

73.26 -> you're going to find a Samsung logo and

75.06 -> right below that you have this press

76.799 -> button that you can get access to your

78.72 -> Channel's volume as well as the sources

80.939 -> but you can't control any of the smart

82.56 -> features now looking at this TV from the

84.659 -> side view it is a little bit thicker

86.28 -> than a newer thinner Samsung television

88.38 -> and it uses an edge lit VA panel on the

91.56 -> back of it there's some screw holes so

93.06 -> you can mount it on the wall very easily

94.92 -> and then when it comes to inputs you are

97.2 -> very limited at the top there's a power

99.299 -> connection there's only one USB there's

101.88 -> a fiber optic output and two hdmis I

105.06 -> will tell you that one in hdmis is for

107.159 -> ER so we'll do Dolby Atmos pass-through

109.92 -> and you have atsc2 owner additional to

113.34 -> that it does have an Ethernet input plus

115.5 -> it does have Wi-Fi so you probably think

117.96 -> to yourself This TVs only has two HDMI

120.299 -> inputs well I'll tell you I made a video

122.579 -> on this adapter from already and it

124.74 -> allows you to have four inputs send it

127.14 -> over to your television so you can use

128.819 -> one input for all those devices so just

131.52 -> something to consider but you can always

133.62 -> buy a more expensive TV that has more

135.42 -> inputs now if you didn't know Samsung is

137.94 -> a number one sold television in the

139.8 -> world but how well does their entry

142.08 -> level television perform and look at

144.06 -> this white uniformity test actually it

146.28 -> did pretty good if you look in the

147.54 -> corners you don't see much been netting

148.98 -> also the contrast is really popping you

151.319 -> can see in the center here that

152.819 -> everything is giving you a lot of layers

155.22 -> of grade scale and I will tell you that

157.2 -> Samsung's known to give you really good

158.94 -> motion in fact look how smooth this

160.86 -> picture is compared to some other videos

162.66 -> I've done if you've been following my

164.099 -> channel now before we get into some

165.66 -> gaming let's check out the input lag so

167.459 -> what I did is I put the TV into the

169.5 -> gaming mode by using the home setup we

171.66 -> have our input like tester here and then

174.12 -> we're going to just touch it right here

175.2 -> to this light now this TV is getting 9.7

178.98 -> milliseconds which is very respectful

181.019 -> for a television because anything below

183.959 -> 30 milliseconds is actually considered

185.879 -> pretty fast

187.23 -> [Music]

202.7 -> [Music]

204.68 -> now we're in an Xbox settings and if I

207.3 -> go over here you can see that it can do

208.92 -> 4K at 60 hertz it does not support 120

212.28 -> hertz and it doesn't support Dolby

214.62 -> vision and no Samsung supports Dolby

217.08 -> Vision just so you guys know now if I go

219.42 -> back in here I can try to override it

221.58 -> just to see if we can get some higher

223.14 -> resolutions I will tell you that it will

225.18 -> support 1440 at 60p so it's good for

228.12 -> PlayStation and I will tell you that the

230.22 -> maximum range that this TV can support

231.9 -> is 60 hertz but it will take in 120

235.68 -> hertz signal if you drop down to 1080P

237.599 -> and as a side note it will allow 24

239.879 -> frames for movies it has Auto low

242.099 -> latency it does not support vrr and as

245.519 -> mentioned earlier it will support SDR

247.799 -> and HDR content I will tell you that you

250.319 -> can hook up a keyboard and mouse two

252.06 -> different ways you can use a Bluetooth

253.26 -> that's built in and you can use

255.06 -> headphones with that as well or you can

257.16 -> take something like this type of

258.54 -> keyboard and mouse and just use the

260.1 -> little dongle that comes with it but

262.019 -> what does it look like on a computer so

263.94 -> I pulled up some editing software on

265.86 -> this TV and it looks pretty good

267.36 -> everything's sharp detailed here's what

270 -> it looks like on a sale sheet I can also

272.22 -> go down here and look at the chart I can

274.56 -> look at the graphics

276.06 -> but again for a computer monitor it's

278.16 -> not too bad now when it comes to audio I

280.44 -> would tell you that This TV has 10 watts

282.479 -> by two it is not Earth shaking sound but

285.6 -> it's good enough if you're going to put

287.16 -> it up on a wall in a business kids room

289.38 -> garage or something like that and it has

291.6 -> a few audio settings but I didn't find

294.12 -> any kind of Cinema mode or anything like

295.74 -> that if you're watching movies now when

297.479 -> it comes to the sound modes you have

298.8 -> standard and if you click on it you have

300.96 -> adaptive sound where it just to sound

303 -> based off of the content you're watching

304.56 -> and it has Amplified but it doesn't have

306.9 -> any type of movies sound settings or

309.06 -> anything like that

312.47 -> [Music]

316.759 -> next we're going to go over some of the

318.84 -> features that This TV has to offer and

320.639 -> this part might be a little bit longer

322.139 -> but you can always fast forward through

323.699 -> it but down here we have what they call

325.86 -> Samsung TV plus and live TV now I hooked

330.06 -> up a title to it just so I can show you

331.979 -> guys the TV tuner and some of the

333.96 -> features that it can do now when using

336.12 -> the Samsung TV plus all your

337.8 -> over-the-air antenna content will be at

340.02 -> the bottom here and the great thing is

341.639 -> that Samsung has a guide over here and a

344.58 -> corner it gives you all the shortcuts so

346.68 -> you can go directly to channels now I

349.259 -> did look and see if there was a

350.639 -> recording option but it wasn't but what

352.86 -> you can do is you can find a program on

355.56 -> the guide you can press on it and then

358.08 -> you can schedule a time when it views so

360.3 -> if you watching TV it'll pop up on the

362.94 -> screen that that program has came on and

365.1 -> Samsung also has the SmartThings

366.78 -> application I can use this keypad to get

369.12 -> through all the different menus I can

371.039 -> hit this one to get to your house or

372.419 -> input

373.259 -> you can play pause you can also turn off

375.539 -> the power and you can control the volume

377.639 -> right there as well now the great thing

379.74 -> about this application is that you can't

381.419 -> connect it to your Google or Alexa

382.86 -> system to do basic features now this TV

386.16 -> does use tizen down here you have your

388.259 -> applications you can search for

390 -> different things you have your Source

391.5 -> plus over here you have your settings

393.56 -> and if you go down you get all your

396.36 -> different programming that you can watch

398.639 -> right away some of this is free somewhat

401.16 -> required you to log into the application

402.9 -> now another thing I want to show you

404.58 -> guys in this particular TV is the web

406.86 -> browser so in the web browser you can

408.78 -> add some favorites up here at the top

410.28 -> you also can search for different

411.66 -> websites I'm not sure if it will support

414.12 -> anything besides HTML5 you also can play

417.6 -> files from a thumb drive I haven't tried

419.4 -> the hard drive but this is what it looks

421.979 -> like from here you have access to all

424.5 -> the files on that that's compatible and

426.72 -> if you want to hit on something like

428.16 -> Scenic you can see that it will create

430.5 -> little thumbnails of each thing that you

432.66 -> want to play now a lot of you guys also

434.22 -> asked me about the internal memory so

435.78 -> inside of the App Store under your

437.34 -> profile you can see that it has about

439.139 -> four gigs of built-in memories and you

441.9 -> can use this to download all your

444 -> applications that you like but if you're

445.979 -> the type person who likes to download

447.419 -> every application app store they will

450.06 -> not fit now here's a remote control that

451.74 -> comes with it and I know people prefer

453.3 -> the one remote but it has some

455.58 -> advantages and disadvantage one of the

457.8 -> disadvantages it doesn't have the voice

459.539 -> commands but you have a button to go

461.94 -> directly to your sources you also have a

464.22 -> number pad if you use the TV tuner and

466.919 -> you have some direct Keys like Netflix

468.3 -> Hulu and Prime video some other benefits

471.84 -> is down here you can get directly to

473.34 -> your settings just by pressing that and

475.56 -> you have some hotkeys that pops up in

477.36 -> different applications so overall this

479.759 -> is a decent remote control but it

481.919 -> doesn't have all the free drills that

483.18 -> you might want I hope you guys like this

484.74 -> video so far and if I in any way gave

487.139 -> you any type of information that you

488.58 -> enjoyed go and hit that like button

490.38 -> below so I can make more content like

492.66 -> this with that being said let's talk

494.4 -> about the pros and cons of this Samsung

496.319 -> Tu 690t now I'm just going to be

499.62 -> generally speaking here first of all all

501.84 -> the neural models the 2022 and I'm

504.419 -> pretty sure Beyond has adjustable feet

506.22 -> so for some people they might want to

508.74 -> have that option the elephant in the

510.96 -> room on this television there's two HDMI

512.76 -> inputs so if you use any type of

514.74 -> external sources you are very limited

516.959 -> unless you get a selector box like I

518.64 -> showed you guys earlier another thing if

521.159 -> you guys don't know this Samsung does

523.74 -> not support Dolby Vision whatsoever they

526.86 -> have their own technology called HDR 10

529.14 -> plus and that is actually something that

531.899 -> they want to move forward with so if you

534.06 -> pull up Disney or any type of app like

535.92 -> that you're never going to get Adobe

537.66 -> Vision on any Samsung television

539.64 -> regardless what you plug into it another

542.1 -> con for for me is that some people don't

544.62 -> like this remote control and I guess you

547.38 -> can look at it both ways for some people

548.94 -> you have the full number pad and that's

550.56 -> going to be great for you know pulling

552.54 -> up your TV channels it also has a

555.36 -> settings button right here that I use

556.86 -> all the time and this remote control is

559.32 -> compatible with all the newer Samsung

561.66 -> TVs with the IR control but you don't

564.42 -> get voice commands so if you want to

566.22 -> have any type of voice command on this

568.44 -> you would have to download the

570.18 -> SmartThings application which I showed

571.98 -> you guys earlier and you would need to

574.019 -> connect it to the TV and then take that

576.06 -> and connect it to Google and Alexa and

578.459 -> you can do some basic features like turn

580.26 -> the TV off and on

582.54 -> with that being said let's talk about

584.22 -> the positives well first of all Samsungs

587.04 -> have a really good picture quality I was

588.779 -> very impressed with the picture on this

590.58 -> television and I will tell you that if

593.7 -> you get a Samsung TV

595.56 -> they're the number one so even though it

598.019 -> doesn't have all these bells and whistle

599.459 -> you're definitely getting that the

601.32 -> motion was good it was very smooth so

603.3 -> it's gonna be great on movies I think

605.1 -> the gaming mode was really good as well

607.08 -> plus it has low input lag and this TV

610.26 -> does have apple AirPlay and it does have

612.72 -> a feature where you can send your phones

614.94 -> over like Samsung phone and share that

616.68 -> screen so those are some great things

618.12 -> about this television with that been

620.16 -> said if you guys don't mind go and

623.339 -> subscribe to my channel I'm Tech Steve

625.62 -> and I'll catch you on the next one peace

630.98 -> I'm obsessed memories

634.94 -> [Music]

640.94 -> [Applause]

641.31 -> [Music]

650.71 -> [Music]
