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 started showing a black vertical line from top to bottom on the right side of the screen. Would not purchase tv from Amazon again.

    Not too many relatively smaller TVs come equipped with a tuner that receives ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard, or next gen TV. Since I live in north Jersey and have a roof antenna, I receive over 100 New York area channels, some of which are now being broadcast in 4K and this TV receives them in glorious clarity. Thought I’d need a sound bar, but TV sound is quite good, as well.

    Great picture, and it nicely mated through HDMI to the soundbar that I purchased at the same time.

  7. Don’t trust open box

    I received a broken and incomplete item and was charged full price for it. Other stores supposedly had this tv open box in good condition, but they were all broken or missing parts. Used to love open box, but never trying it again after this experience.
