OLED pixels change almost instantly, preventing noticeable trails behind fast-moving objects. This helps both games and sports.
Pros: HDMI 2.1 port count, Video input versatility
Cons: value for money, overall satisfaction
OLED pixel response is effectively instantaneous, keeping motion clean and ghosting minimal for games and video.
Pros: gaming performance, peak brightness
Cons: HDMI 2.1 support, HDMI 2.1 port count
Pixel transitions are adequate on smaller sets rather than truly fast, while the 98-inch panel makes visible gains in gaming clarity.
Pros: picture quality, black levels
Cons: HDR brightness, value for money
120Hz motion is usable but shows some pixel-transition overshoot; at 60Hz motion is substantially blurrier. Other evaluations of gaming response are more upbeat.
Pros: HDMI 2.1 port count, overall satisfaction
Cons: HDR performance, bass performance
Pixel transitions in Game Mode can be slow enough to create visible motion blur in fast titles, despite otherwise low input lag.
Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality
Cons: HDMI 2.1 port count, reflection handling
Slow pixel transitions create ghosting, dark-state smearing and noticeable blur in fast-moving content.
Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction
Cons: sound quality, reliability
One test found unusually poor pixel response and backlight speed at high refresh rates, a serious weakness for demanding gaming.
Pros: overall satisfaction, overall image accuracy
Cons: value for money, bass performance
