What reviewers say
Computer Bild found the 65-inch Z90A exceptionally accurate for colour and HDR, with clear dialogue and good built-in sound, though Fire TV displays adverts. Tweakers tested the 55-inch version and likewise praised its natural picture and gaming support, while noting the two full-bandwidth HDMI inputs.
