What reviewers say

Both 65-inch reviews praise detailed, colourful pictures and unusually clear TV sound, while noting the high price and two HDMI 2.1 inputs. What Hi-Fi? favours its natural presentation but found some launch features unfinished. Tom’s Guide likes Google TV, yet finds Professional mode dim and gaming lag higher than rivals.
