What reviewers say

Both reviewers praise the contrast, accurate picture, gaming connections and straightforward smart platform. They found the brightness gain over the C1 useful but limited, with the G2 brighter. Sound was clear for a thin TV but lacked the scale and bass of separate speakers. TechRadar also criticised cable management; Expert Reviews highlighted strong HDR tone mapping.
