Great Picture and Sound, Roku Software Falls Short
This 50-inch TV was chosen over a comparable Hisense model for its wider color range. Picture quality is excellent, with very dark blacks and brightness beyond typical needs. Sound is great, though dialogue can be hard to hear, so the Speech sound mode may help. The Roku setup is lackluster compared to Chromecast, and the ads are unwanted. The Roku remote is small, with awkwardly placed volume buttons that are easier to use left-handed. Delivery went smoothly. Overall, satisfaction is high despite the Roku remote and software.
Pros
- + excellent picture quality
- + very dark blacks
- + high brightness
- + great sound
- + wider color range than comparable model
- + smooth delivery
Cons
- − dialogue can be hard to hear
- − lackluster Roku setup compared to Chromecast
- − unwanted ads
- − small Roku remote
- − awkward volume button placement

Strong Value 4K TV With HDR Setup Quirk
A strong value for a large 4K TV under $500, with great colors, a good panel, good brightness, and wonderful HDR. The interface and remote are fast and responsive, the home menu is well laid out and easy to navigate, and input switching is smooth. The flat back and accessible ports make wall mounting easy. However, HDR must be manually forced to HDMI 2.0 in the settings for PC use, which is not clearly explained. The remote also lacks backlighting.
Pros
- + great value
- + great colors
- + good panel
- + good brightness
- + wonderful HDR
- + fast and responsive UI and remote
- + well-laid-out home menu
- + easy input switching
- + flat back for wall mounting
- + accessible ports
Cons
- − HDR requires manual HDMI 2.0 setting for PC
- − no backlight on remote

Great Picture, Frustrating Internet Flaw
This TV delivers strong HDR and Dolby Vision performance, and it includes a headphone output rarely found on other sets. Some subtle streaking appears during bright, fast-moving scenes, though it is often unnoticeable. The main drawback affects rural users with unstable internet: there is no way to disable the connection without a full factory reset, and the bottom light blinks constantly when offline, disrupting DVD or gaming use. Covering the light blocks the remote. A recent update only reorganized settings. The price has risen significantly, reducing value.
Pros
- + Strong HDR and Dolby Vision picture
- + Includes headphone output
- + Good overall performance
Cons
- − Subtle streaking during bright motion
- − No way to turn off internet without factory reset
- − Constant blinking light when offline
- − Covering light disables remote
- − Significant price increase
