What reviewers say
Both reviews liked its extensive app selection and low price, while noting the basic infrared remote. Tech Advisor found navigation and streaming responsive; What Hi-Fi? criticised its HDR picture quality. Both thought the small price gap to better-equipped alternatives weakened its appeal.
