What reviewers say

The two 55-inch reviews found good picture quality and useful gaming features for the price, with Movie mode the best starting point for natural colour. Both noted some haloing and limited built-in sound. AVForums also found raised blacks in dark rooms and restricted viewing angles, making a normally lit living room a better fit.
