What reviewers say

Reviews of the QD-OLED versions praise bright, richly coloured pictures, deep blacks and responsive gaming. Both find the menus cumbersome and bass limited, and note the missing Dolby Vision. TechRadar criticises default motion processing; Tom’s Guide finds Standard mode less balanced than Filmmaker Mode. These findings do not cover the US 83-inch WOLED version.
