What reviewers say
What Hi-Fi?’s 49-inch and T3’s 65-inch reviews praise rich HDR colour, contrast, motion, upscaling and improved sound. Both note blooming and recommend external audio for more impact. T3 finds the larger model’s wider-angle picture effective; the 49-inch lacks that layer. Missing 4K 120 Hz, VRR and ALLM limit newer-console use.
