#1
Completely black areas are beautifully uniform thanks to the self-lighting panel, with no halos around bright objects. This does not prevent visible banding in near-black gray scenes.
Pros: HDMI 2.1 port count, Video input versatility
Cons: value for money, overall satisfaction
#2
Mostly uniform dark fields avoid major flashlighting, although cloudiness can appear with local dimming off and halos become more evident with it on.
Pros: value for money, overall satisfaction
Cons: HDR brightness
#3
Turning local dimming on improves corner glow and uneven dark areas. With the feature off, patches and flashlighting can be visible.
Pros: picture quality, black levels
Cons: bass performance, HDR brightness
