Pros

  • No external memory slot limits local storage options for USB recording use

Who is this for?

This television is a strong fit for users who want a capable large-screen display for a dedicated living room or home cinema setup. The combination of 144Hz refresh rate with AMD FreeSync Premium makes it well-suited for console and PC gaming where smooth, tear-free motion is important. The full range of HDR format support — HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG — alongside Dolby Atmos and a built-in subwoofer appeals to those who regularly stream or watch HDR films and TV content. Users invested in the Apple or Google ecosystems will also find value in the presence of both AirPlay and Chromecast built-in, enabling easy wireless casting from a variety of devices.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who prioritise the sharpest possible image at close viewing distances may find the 80 ppi pixel density underwhelming for a 55-inch panel, particularly when seated nearby. Those who rely heavily on voice assistant integration across a smart home will be limited, as the TV is not compatible with Google Assistant or Siri/Apple HomeKit — only Alexa is supported. Additionally, users who depend on DTS-based audio formats such as DTS Surround or DTS:X for their home theatre setup will find those formats absent, which could be a drawback when working with certain audio sources or disc-based content.
