What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the 4K QD-OLED panel looks superb and plays fast and smoothly at 240Hz. They split on the built-in smart TV system: TechRadar and T3 liked it, while PC Gamer felt it spoiled the monitor and found it very expensive; T3 missed USB-C, and TechRadar missed Dolby Vision.
