Streaming films and shows look engaging thanks to powerful HDR and competent cleanup of compressed sources.
Pros: peak brightness, picture quality
Cons: HDMI 2.1 port count, reflection handling
High-quality streamed movies and shows benefit from exceptional punch, while badly compressed sources reveal more limits.
Pros: peak brightness, blooming control
Cons: value for money, motion clarity
Premium movies and shows look especially rich with strong 4K HDR feeds, but compressed streams and difficult dark scenes expose more of the processing tradeoffs.
Pros: peak brightness, overall satisfaction
Cons: value for money, shadow detail
Everyday streaming is enjoyable with a rich picture and built-in Fire TV access, although the app selection is not exhaustive.
Pros: value for money, overall satisfaction
Cons: HDR brightness
Google TV and decent contrast make regular streaming enjoyable, though film-rate judder and weaker HDR highlights can intrude.
Pros: black levels, picture quality
Cons: HDR performance, blooming control
Major streaming apps and crisp 4K sources make casual shows enjoyable, but older sources soften and HDR films lack sparkle.
Pros: picture quality, value for money
Cons: viewing angles, HDR performance
