Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Picture Quality: Users consistently praise the sharp 4K resolution, vibrant yet natural colors, and the ability of the X1 processor to upscale older, lower-resolution content with impressive clarity.
  • Strong Value for Money: Many reviewers highlight that this model provides the premium build quality and performance expected from the brand at a much more affordable price than high-end OLED models.
  • Intuitive Google TV Interface: The smart TV platform is frequently described as snappy and easy to navigate, offering seamless integration with popular streaming apps and effective voice control via Google Assistant.

Cons

  • Frequent Software Freezing: A recurring issue among users is the TV's tendency to freeze or become unresponsive, often requiring the unit to be physically unplugged and restarted to restore functionality.
  • Poor Remote Control Design: The included remote is widely criticized for being too small, lacking a numeric keypad for direct channel entry, and having no backlighting for visibility in dark rooms.
  • Unreliable Wi-Fi Connectivity: Multiple customers reported that the TV frequently drops its wireless connection or fails to find networks entirely, necessitating frequent network resets or hard reboots.

Customer Fit

  • Primary audience: People using this model as the main living room TV praise the large screen sizes (65–85"), theater-like feel, strong color, and clear dialogue for sports, movies, and everyday shows from across the room.
  • Secondary audience: Many buyers explicitly installed the 50–65" sizes in bedrooms and liked that it’s easy to mount, sounds good without a soundbar, and is quick to get streaming.
  • Ideal scenarios: Reviewers say PS5 gameplay “looks great” and input lag feels low for casual gaming, but competitive players wanting 120Hz/VRR or simultaneous 4K+HDR may be disappointed.

    This TV is amazing! It features airplay, which makes it very convenient for Apple users, in addition to the breadth of features it offers for Android users. Setup is a breeze for this TV, and I have absolutely no complaints about this device. If you are considering a new TV, look no further!

  2. Impressed

    Expensive, but worth the price for the brand name. The Google aspect works fine, but I can’t stand Google. So I use a Roku, which also works great with the TV. Easy set up on little legs. Looks nice. Enough connections for all my needs.
    Colour is better than my old Sony XBR 50 inch, from 2016. Especially the black aspect. The picture is really impressive!
    Upscaling worked pretty well with my old self-recorded DVDrs. Sound is great too. I would like to try it with a soundbar though.
    Basic remote works well, but has those annoying preprogrammed channels you can’t change or remove. Sleep function is included – a must for me.
    I’ll update as I discover more.
