Cons
Sort
-
Red or blue casts in brighter grays and whites are a recurring weakness of default picture modes.
-
Pixel transitions are much slower than OLED, creating visible smear at both high and lower refresh rates.
-
Overshoot and color transitions sometimes leave pale trails or intermediate colors behind moving objects.
-
The heavy pedestal is secure once installed, but screw-heavy assembly and limited instructions are frustrating.
-
Fast action can smear, especially in dark games and lower-refresh content, despite the unusually high maximum refresh rate.
-
Google TV displays ads even when personalization is disabled. Basic TV mode can hide them but also removes many smart features.
-
Black frame insertion fails to provide a clean improvement: image duplication and blurry pulses undermine its purpose.
-
A standby relay click is a noticeable annoyance on at least one unit.
-
Taming aggressively bright whites can compromise black depth, making preset and tone controls an important tradeoff.
-
Gemini can misidentify streaming locations or return YouTube results instead of performing the requested action.
