What reviewers say

TechRadar and HIFI.DE praise natural colours, deep blacks, wide viewing angles and comprehensive gaming connections. Both find HDR brightness below higher OLED ranges and recommend better speakers for fuller sound. They like the controls and app selection, although TechRadar criticises home-screen adverts and HIFI.DE finds some rival interfaces faster.
