Pros
  • Supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG for broad HDR format compatibility
  • Built-in Chromecast, AirPlay, and smart TV platform cover a wide range of streaming and screen-sharing scenarios
  • Three HDMI 2.1 ports with both ARC and eARC support allow flexible connection of external devices and audio equipment
  • Wide 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles make the screen usable from most positions in a room
  • Includes a built-in subwoofer alongside stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos support for richer audio without an external system
  • Voice control works with both Google Assistant and Alexa, and smartphone remote support adds further control flexibility
Cons
  • 60Hz native refresh rate may not satisfy users who prioritize smoother motion handling
  • Only two USB ports and no external memory slot limits local media and peripheral options
  • Siri and Apple HomeKit are not supported, which restricts integration for users within the Apple ecosystem
  • HDR10+ is not supported, leaving out one of the widely used HDR formats
  • The remote control is not rechargeable, requiring ongoing battery replacement
  • 1-year warranty period is relatively short for a large-screen television
Who is this for?

This TV is a good fit for living room setups where a large screen with broad HDR coverage is a priority, as it supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG across its 85″ 4K QLED panel. Users who rely on multiple streaming ecosystems will benefit from the built-in Chromecast, AirPlay, smart TV platform, and compatibility with both Google Assistant and Alexa. The three HDMI 2.1 ports with eARC support also make it a practical choice for those who want to connect gaming consoles, media players, and a soundbar simultaneously, while the built-in subwoofer and Dolby Atmos support provide a self-contained audio experience without requiring an external speaker system.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who are sensitive to motion clarity — particularly those interested in fast-paced sports or action-heavy gaming — may find the 60Hz native refresh rate limiting. The absence of HDR10+ support means viewers with content specifically mastered in that format will not get the full intended experience. Additionally, those who are heavily embedded in the Apple ecosystem will find the lack of Siri and Apple HomeKit compatibility a meaningful gap, and users who frequently rely on external storage devices for local media playback will be constrained by the two USB ports and the absence of an external memory slot.
