What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it marks a big step up in OLED brightness, with a crisp, colourful picture that copes with bright rooms and excellent gaming features. Common criticisms are the price and dull or average built-in sound; Trusted Reviews found Dolby Vision less bright than on rivals, and What Hi-Fi? noted an early Dolby Vision fault since fixed by update.
