A promised seven-year software-support period and low predicted LCD-panel risks are promising for prolonged use, though they are not guarantees of durability.
Pros: picture quality, contrast ratio
Cons: blooming control, glare resistance
The direct-lit LCD panel has low expected burn-in risk, although a major LED failure could affect a large backlight section.
Pros: sound quality, picture quality
Cons: value for money, local dimming performance
The direct-lit LCD format carries little permanent burn-in risk, which is reassuring for years of routine viewing.
Pros: color accuracy, upscaling quality
Cons: picture quality, sound quality
Direct-lit construction and low burn-in risk support longevity, tempered by a greater chance of extensive backlight failure from one LED.
Pros: picture quality, smart TV platform
Cons: value for money, refresh rate
Low burn-in risk and little expected backlight fading are positives, but a failed LED could still take out a large image area.
Pros: white balance accuracy, design and appearance
Cons: overall satisfaction, value for money
