The redesigned metal pedestal is solid and stylish, with a heavier feel than previous plastic stands.
-
The matte treatment and strong light output overcome typical windows and room lights with little glare distraction.
-
The screen gives vivid color, crisp detail and a bright image for the money, but uniformity and the accuracy of some presets vary.
-
Up to 165Hz at 4K is excellent for a midrange television, even though frame transitions are not always as fast as the refresh number implies.
-
Colorful, high-impact HDR is a highlight of the set, but some presets require correction for their cooler color or tone-mapping behavior.
-
Direct reflections are strongly reduced by the matte surface, and indirect ambient glare is mostly kept in check.
