Impressive Picture and Sound, but Heavy

After comparing many TVs in stores and researching options, this model stood out for its picture quality. Setup and adjustment are straightforward, with AI features and manual settings allowing fine-tuning. Audio is clear and crisp with deep lows, loud enough without a soundbar. Gaming at 4K 120Hz looks excellent. Older shows also look better. The TV is heavy and requires two people to move safely. It is considered the best TV owned and the best quality seen, even compared to a high-end TV at home.

Pros
  • + Outstanding picture quality
  • + Clear and crisp audio with deep lows
  • + Loud volume
  • + Excellent 4K 120Hz gaming
  • + Easy setup and adjustment
  • + AI features and manual settings
Cons
  • − Heavy, requires two people to move

Bright OLED with Deep Shadows and Clear Picture

Upgrading from an older 65-inch 4K TV, the picture quality difference is striking. Deep shadows and a clear image stand out, and brightness is high enough that the OLED brightness is often lowered to around 80. Built-in apps are rarely used due to poor interfaces, and motion smoothing is disabled to avoid interpolated frames. The settings menu design and pointer remote work well, and quick-menu saving of frequently used settings is appreciated. Best picture on any TV owned so far.

Pros
  • + deep shadows
  • + clear image
  • + high brightness
  • + settings menu design
  • + pointer remote
  • + quick menu for settings
Cons
  • − built-in apps have poor interfaces
  • − motion smoothing requires disabling

Great picture quality and strong gaming performance

The picture quality is crisp with a full color range, and the built-in motion functions work well. Filmmaker mode avoids oversaturating colors with HDR on and produces good results for most media. Brightness is better than previous models. Gaming at 4K and 120fps with OLED pop stands out, especially for single-player titles. The high framerate requires a serious investment, so it may not be worth it for everyone. The price could be lower, but the quality matches the cost and the TV should last many years.

Pros
  • + crisp picture quality
  • + full color range
  • + good motion functions
  • + Filmmaker mode handles HDR well
  • + better brightness than previous models
  • + 4K gaming at 120fps
Cons
  • − price could be lower
  • − high framerate requires a serious investment

Impressive OLED picture with helpful setup options

This 65-inch OLED TV delivers a sharp, clear picture with gorgeous color, even in bright room light, and shows no drop-off when moving around the room. The Picture Wizard provides a good initial setup, though turning off Energy Saver and adjusting contrast, brightness, and color saturation improves results. SDR quality benefits significantly from recommended settings, especially for older SDR sources. The menu system is excellent for setup, including ARC/eARC routing. The cursor remote takes time to get used to but can be turned off. Sound quality was not evaluated. Overall, the TV is loved after one week.

Pros
  • + sharp, clear picture with gorgeous color
  • + no drop-off when moving around the room
  • + good initial setup via Picture Wizard
  • + excellent menu for setup and ARC/eARC
  • + plenty good in bright room light
Cons
  • − cursor remote takes time to get used to
  • − SDR quality needs tweaking for best results
