The TV is well suited to 120Hz console gaming, but its ceiling is less ambitious than newer 144Hz-and-higher competitors.
Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality
Cons: HDMI 2.1 port count, reflection handling
At 120Hz, game movement remains sharp and responsive. The ceiling is lower than the 165Hz offered by some similarly priced OLED rivals.
Pros: HDMI 2.1 port count, Video input versatility
Cons: value for money, overall satisfaction
120Hz gaming can feel smooth and responsive, but the lack of 144Hz or 165Hz support leaves serious PC players better served elsewhere.
Pros: gaming performance, peak brightness
Cons: HDMI 2.1 support, HDMI 2.1 port count
The native 120Hz refresh delivers fluid play on current consoles. PC users seeking 144Hz, 165Hz or faster must look elsewhere.
Pros: HDMI 2.1 port count, overall satisfaction
Cons: HDR performance, bass performance
120Hz is excellent for current consoles, but limited compared with 144Hz, 165Hz or faster sets aimed at serious PC gamers.
Pros: picture quality, black levels
Cons: HDR brightness, value for money
A native 60 Hz panel without VRR cannot meet the expectations of 120 fps competitive or high-refresh console and PC gaming.
Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction
Cons: sound quality, reliability
One demanding gaming test found 120Hz motion response notably weak, making the TV less appealing for high-refresh competitive play.
Pros: overall satisfaction, overall image accuracy
Cons: value for money, bass performance
