Both reviews admire the slim curved design and vivid colours. What Hi-Fi? praises detail, upscaling and webOS, while finding edges overemphasised. Expert Reviews is less enthusiastic, criticising clipped highlights, motion-processing artefacts, fiddly settings and the plastic stand. Their assessments of picture quality differ substantially.
Perfect Mastering Engine, pixel dimming, Ultra Luminance and 4K upscaling. Curved panel with passive 3D; two pairs of glasses supplied.
