Pros

Supports four HDMI 2.1 ports, allowing multiple high-bandwidth devices to be connected simultaneously
Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, providing access to the latest wireless standards
Audio decoding is extensive, spanning Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, along with a built-in subwoofer
The panel supports HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG across a 10-bit OLED display capable of rendering over one billion colors
Both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa voice commands are supported, and the remote control is rechargeable
Anti-reflection coating and an ambient light sensor are included, helping maintain picture clarity in different lighting environments

Cons

HDR10+ is not supported, which may limit compatibility with some HDR10+ encoded content
There is no 3.5mm headset jack, so direct headphone connection requires an adapter or alternative audio output
Siri and Apple HomeKit are not supported, reducing integration options for users within the Apple ecosystem
No external memory slot is available, meaning local storage expansion is not possible
Operating power consumption reaches 397W, which is relatively high for everyday use

Who is this for?

This TV is well suited to users who want a dedicated home cinema setup, given its OLED panel with Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, and a full suite of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio decoding paired with a built-in subwoofer. The four HDMI 2.1 ports and 120Hz refresh rate make it a practical choice for console gaming enthusiasts who need high-bandwidth connections and smooth motion handling. Those invested in a Google-centric smart home will also find it a natural fit, with built-in Chromecast, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa support all available out of the box.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely heavily on the Apple ecosystem may find this TV limiting, as Siri and Apple HomeKit are not supported despite AirPlay being available. Anyone needing direct headphone connectivity will run into difficulties, since there is no 3.5mm audio jack on the set. Additionally, the 397W operating power draw makes this a less practical option for environments where energy consumption is a meaningful concern, such as commercial installations or locations with limited electrical capacity.
