What reviewers say
Both 65-inch reviews praise bright, vivid pictures, contrast, gaming and effective reflection suppression, while noting lost shadow detail and minor filter side effects. Sound divides them: TechRadar finds controlled, powerful bass, whereas What Hi-Fi? finds limited impact and a flat presentation. These are their 2024 test impressions.
