What reviewers say

Reviewers praise its natural colours, detailed picture and strong gaming features, but note blooming, restricted viewing angles and no Dolby Vision. AVForums found sports motion and everyday sound good; TechRadar found sports motion needed adjustment and the soundstage limited. TechRadar also judged cheaper rivals better value.
