Pros: picture quality, value for money

Cons: stand quality, judder handling

VRR can deliver very smooth console gameplay, but the 120Hz cap and lack of low-frame-rate VRR below 60Hz limit flexibility for PC use.

Pros: gaming performance, peak brightness

Cons: HDMI 2.1 support, HDMI 2.1 port count

#12 Hisense U75QG
3.6

VRR support is extensive and useful, but flicker, smearing, and frame-rate transition quirks prevent it from being flawless.

Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality

Cons: reliability, build quality
