What reviewers say

Both reviewers praise the deep blacks, wide viewing angles, detailed HD pictures, passive 3D and integrated sound. What Hi-Fi? is strongly positive about the 65-inch model's HDR picture; AVForums finds HDR10 highlights clipped and some near-black banding, while judging Dolby Vision more favourably.
