Cons
Sort
-
The three-port limit is one of the most consistent complaints, especially when a soundbar occupies the eARC socket.
-
The U8QG is not identical across sizes: the 100-inch panel has weaker measured color and uniformity, while 55- and 75-inch viewing angles fared better elsewhere.
-
The pixel response is uneven, causing blur in dark moving objects and occasional VRR overshoot despite low input lag.
-
The central stands fit ordinary consoles; the 100-inch version needs exceptionally wide furniture or wall mounting.
-
HDR brightness is contentious: some calibrations look very accurate, while other testing finds conspicuous over-brightening and crushed nuances.
-
The U.S. broadcast tuner may work while the Google TV live-channel guide fails to show program details or permit expected channel selection.
-
The integrated woofer adds welcome weight, but effects-heavy soundtracks caused audible rattling in one 65-inch evaluation.
-
The coating helps with general room light, but sunlight or lamps aimed directly at the screen can remain obvious.
-
The heavy 65-inch set and enormous 100-inch option demand planning, with lifting or repositioning much harder than the slim appearance implies.
-
The Google TV home screen displays ads; opting out of personalization does not remove them, and the basic ad-free mode sacrifices smart features.
-
Google TV lacks some direct cloud-gaming integrations offered by Samsung and LG, a disadvantage for gamers without a console.
-
The 100-inch panel showed obvious central dirty-screen artifacts and patchiness, a concern for pans across uniform backgrounds.
-
Deep movie effects can overload the built-in woofer, producing intrusive rattling even when the rest of the sound is immersive.
-
The most difficult gaming transitions can produce ghosting or inverse ghosting near certain variable-refresh frame rates.
-
Streaming can be quick and intuitive, but one setup experienced several unexpected disconnections that needed manual reconnection.
-
Motion Clearness offers limited help with blur, but testing found image duplication or a dimmer picture at aggressive settings.
-
The high VESA-hole placement required remounting an existing bracket in one case; oversized installation also takes patience and precision.
-
Sports and bright gaming scenes often look clean, while dark transitions and demanding film tests reveal blur.
-
Smaller units often look reasonably even, but the 100-inch panel's gray-screen patches and dark central spot stand out.
-
This is very size-dependent: 55- and 75-inch units hold up well off-center, while the 100-inch drops color and contrast sharply.
-
Its substantial audio and backlight hardware produces a bulky profile, so shoppers seeking a flush, ultra-slim display may prefer another design.
-
The huge 100-inch package is cleverly designed for attaching feet upright, but smaller sets can be heavy or frustratingly covered in tape.
-
The TV can be mounted, but unusual VESA positioning and the 100-inch set's weight make careful hardware planning essential.
-
NextGen TV reception is a useful feature, although the software guide may hinder convenient browsing of tuned channels.
-
Most moving highlights retain clean edges, though some flicker and weakened dark detail appear in Game Mode on the 100-inch.
-
Google TV allows ad-personalization choices, but completely removing ads requires giving up much of the smart experience.
-
Some slow movie pans stutter or drop frames, though controlled tests found decent cinematic response in other material.
-
Judder-reduction settings help some scenes but can add artifacts or a soap-opera appearance when pushed too far.
-
Several calibrated units achieve pleasing neutrality, while the 100-inch sample and some factory modes exhibit conspicuous cool or warm casts.
-
Plugging in a laptop is convenient, but the port's lack of VRR and variable HDR support limits its appeal as a substitute for HDMI gaming.
-
Content-aware processing can sharpen lower-quality material and adapt settings, but some automatic adjustments make good 4K HDR sources look overly processed.
-
Regular sports look smooth to many viewers, but 24fps movie pans, 60Hz content, and PC gaming show size- and mode-dependent weaknesses.
-
Built-in sound can be surprisingly expansive, but tonal balance and bass reliability vary noticeably between sizes and scenes.
Use Cases
Best for
Sort
