What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is an excellent OLED, brighter and richer than the C5, with deep contrast and a full set of gaming features, though Tom's Guide found the gain over the C5 marginal. They differ on reflections, a problem for TechRadar but not Tom's Guide, and on sound, much improved to What Hi-Fi? but lacking to Tom's Guide.
