What reviewers say

Both reviewers praise the brighter HDR picture, detailed contrast and extensive gaming features. They find the built-in sound underwhelming and note that the stand costs extra. What Hi-Fi? also finds some pale colours in dark scenes; Trusted Reviews notices a slight residual green tint and less accomplished motion processing than Sony.
