What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it falls short on picture quality, with weak contrast and black levels and too little brightness for HDR to make an impact. They liked the neat design and smart features; Trusted Reviews found input lag low but the sound humdrum, and Tom's Guide and RTINGS found it short of modern gaming features.
