Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: Sixty-five inches of QLED at a price where the Korean brands are still selling 55-inch sets. Screen size is the single largest driver of perceived picture quality at normal viewing distances, so this beats a technically better 55-inch panel for most rooms — provided the room is deep enough to sit three metres back.
Who should buy this
Living rooms with at least three metres of viewing distance where size matters most.
Who should avoid this
Small rooms — at two metres a 65-inch set is uncomfortable, not immersive.
Key strengths

After a few months
Had this three months now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. 120 Hz with VRR on two HDMI 2.1 ports. Still mildly irritated by one thing: 241 kWh/yr is the highest running cost of any TV here. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Listing was accurate, which is rarer than it should be
65 inches at a 55-inch price from the premium brands. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: 120 Hz with VRR on two HDMI 2.1 ports. Been using it now for two months.

Three stars, and here is exactly why
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: 241 kWh/yr is the highest running cost of any TV here. No local dimming at this price. 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: 65 inches at a 55-inch price from the premium brands. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.
