Let me start by saying this: if you're a gamer, this TV is a game-changer (pun intended). The 4K @ 120Hz and 1080p @ 240Hz performance is buttery smooth, and the Auto Game Mode is a godsend. I hooked up my PS5, and the difference from my old 60Hz TV was night-and-day - no more screen tearing thanks to AMD FreeSync Premium.
The QLED display is stunning. Quantum Color really makes those billion colors pop, especially in HDR10+ and Dolby Vision content. Watching The Mandalorian felt like I was in the Star Wars universe - the Active Full Array backlight made dark scenes actually visible without crushing blacks.
Now for the not-so-great: The built-in speakers? Basically tin cans. I paired it with a soundbar immediately (the reviewer who mentioned this wasn't kidding). Also, that side-mounted volume button on the remote? Absolute menace. I've accidentally blasted volume during quiet scenes more times than I can count.
The Smart TV interface is decent but not perfect. WatchFree+ is great for cord-cutters, but navigating feels sluggish compared to Roku TVs. WiFi 6E is fantastic though - no buffering even when my whole family streams simultaneously.
Final verdict? For under $500 (on sale), this punches way above its weight class for gaming and movie watching. Just budget for a soundbar and maybe tape over that cursed volume button!
