What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is a clear step up on the C3, with a brighter, punchy yet natural picture, excellent gaming features and a slick smart platform. Most found the built-in sound average, though What Hi-Fi? thought it much improved, and TechRadar, Tom's Guide and Trusted Reviews judged it pricey at launch.
