What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it is a strong mid-range OLED, with deep blacks, rich colour, high brightness for an OLED, wide viewing angles and excellent gaming performance. Tom's Guide criticised the lack of Dolby Vision, a less than fluid interface and panel types that vary by size, and RTINGS found it struggles a little in very bright rooms.
