What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it delivers much of a flagship OLED's picture for less, with punchy, high-contrast images and excellent gaming features. The common criticisms are the lack of Dolby Vision and middling built-in sound; What Hi-Fi? found colours a little overbaked on the 48-inch model, while Tom's Guide praised their accuracy.
