Dark-scene texture is often excellent and preserved without raising blacks. A few firmware versions and challenging scenes showed mild crush or required a small Near Black adjustment.
Pros: picture quality, peak brightness
Cons: value for money, sound quality
Dark scenes usually retain fine textures and background objects, though a few units showed black crush or slightly raised near-black tones that benefited from adjustment.
Pros: picture quality, gaming performance
Cons: value for money, sound quality
Dark scenes retain pleasing depth and detail, although some processing lifts blacks or comes out of them a little slowly.
Pros: gaming performance, HDR brightness
Cons: reflection handling, glare resistance
Dark detail is generally strong, but occasional black crush and inaccurate shadow rendering can hide fine textures.
Pros: contrast ratio, black levels
Cons: reflection handling, color accuracy
Gradual shading in dark material can look clean, but raised blacks can flatten shadow depth. Dark scenes lack the dimensionality of higher-contrast TVs.
Pros: design and appearance, maximum volume
Cons: picture quality, value for money
Shadow detail is often well defined, but one tester saw blocked-out background objects and another lost detail while adjusting blacks.
Pros: value for money, peak brightness
Cons: color accuracy, stand quality
Deep backgrounds can lose subtle detail, especially in moderately lit rooms, making dark scenes less convincing than on OLED.
Pros: peak brightness, picture quality
Cons: value for money, viewing angles
Dark scenes can obscure subtle details, leaving shadowed subjects harder to distinguish.
Pros: picture quality, color accuracy
Cons: remote control quality, black levels
