What reviewers say

AVForums found the 65-inch Z90B unusually accurate out of the box, with strong HDR, responsive gaming and good built-in sound, though Fire TV could be slow. What Hi-Fi praised the 48-inch version's natural colours and surprisingly capable sound, but found dark-scene detail and upscaling less convincing.
