What reviewers say
AVForums and HDTVTest both praised the 65-inch EZ1002's exceptional colour accuracy, deep blacks, video processing and HDR10 tone mapping. Both noted its lack of Dolby Vision, while AVForums reported slight banding just above black and less overall HDR brightness than high-end LCD sets.
