What reviewers say
Both reviews praise deep blacks, detailed images and rich colours. What Hi-Fi? likes webOS and the full-bodied sound but notes brighter whites from LCD rivals. HDTVTest finds the October 2016 firmware improves HDR detail and fixes frame skipping, while noting delicate near-black calibration and subdued bright colours compared with premium LCDs.
