What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the responsive motion, deep blacks and vivid HDR picture, particularly for PC gaming. Both find that bright room lighting weakens its black levels. TFTCentral highlights limited console support and OLED care interruptions, but found text fringing and fan noise less troublesome than some early reports suggested.
