Overview

Direct LED lighting arranged as Active Full Array zones backs a quantum dot layer on this smart television, and local dimming adjusts brightness zone by zone. Casting works through Apple AirPlay and Chromecast, and a voice remote with two batteries comes in the box.

Fast refresh at both resolutions and adaptive sync make it a reasonable monitor-style TV for a gaming console or PC. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ cover the main dynamic range formats. The built-in audio is a two speaker digital amplifier, so bigger rooms may want a soundbar.

Who it's for

Console and PC players who want a smaller screen with quick refresh and FreeSync, and viewers casting from phones. Anyone filling a big room, or wanting powerful built-in audio, should look at larger models.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • High refresh rate at 4K
  • Local dimming with Active Full Array
  • Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support
  • AMD FreeSync for PC gaming
Cons
  • Built-in speakers are modest
  • Remote batteries need to be fitted

  • Software update support not stated

Performance notes

Active Full Array lighting divides the backlight into zones that dim independently, which lifts contrast on dark scenes. Quantum dots widen color, and the high peak brightness gives HDR content room to stand out. Gaming smoothness comes from the high refresh mode and adaptive sync, and the higher figure applies at a lower resolution.
