Holding up so far
Had this a full season now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. QLED colour volume at a mid price. Still mildly irritated by one thing: 60 Hz where the cheaper Hisense offers 144 Hz. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Right product for the right person
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Streaming-first households that want QLED colour and a good interface. On that basis it has been the right call. Google TV is well supported and fast.

Three stars, and here is exactly why
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: 60 Hz where the cheaper Hisense offers 144 Hz. No local dimming. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: Google TV is well supported and fast. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.
