What reviewers say
TechRadar and RTINGS praised the Z85A's accurate, colourful OLED picture and responsive gaming. TechRadar found its sound clear but spatially limited and noticed some crushed shadow detail; RTINGS found it less suited to brightly lit rooms and noted only two high-bandwidth HDMI ports. Both tested the North American version, which has different broadcast tuners.
