Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsHow did they release a "top of the line" TV with exclusively outdated ports?
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2024
TV is thin and great video quality, but there is 2 glaring issues with it and a cherry on top that ill start with.
1. The hdmi cord it comes with is actual trash, do not use this cord, go buy yourself a proper hdmi 2.1.
2. The screw holes for the mount are not on the same plane, nor are the holes accurately measured, so be extra careful when installing wall mounts and cut your machine screws a good 4mm short of the 30mm they suggest. (The built-in threaded nuts are also not very well installed, 2 of mine seemed to be semi free-spinning and I had to slightly pull on the machine screw as I turned it to lock the nut into place so it would tighten).
3. This TV comes with 0, I repeat 0, displayport ports (how did this even get pushed out without one?). Displayport 2.1 blows hdmi 2.1 out of the water in bandwidth and max refresh rate; most mid-high end modern pcs come with MOSTLY displayport ports for this reason. This tv would absolutely benifit from displayport ports on just raw output alone. Additionally, if youre like me and have a modern pc and an older 2nd or 3rd monitor taking up your only hdmi port, this TV will take that port and you're out of luck.
They basically only accounted for console gamers and gen x+ I think, which is odd because I've known people for ages that have been running their TV services primarily off of their pc, maybe smart tvs have changed consumer habits? But pcs are far more versatile so leaving the option properly en would have been nice. Rant over.
S+ Screen Quality
A- speakers: for being on-board, they aren't bad
B+ Build quality: mostly relative to competitors. If not for the state of the tv market this would be a C at best.
Most tvs are built cheap with nice tech inside, this paperthin monitor with 0 screen reinforcement is a scammy gemmic to minimize material cost and make it easy for people to break their own screens, it offers 0 value because the base of the tv to around halfway up the back is still a couple of inches thick, so it saves you 0 space and removes maybe 2 to 4 lbs in total tv weight.
F- ports: give me usb and hdmi but no displayport on a state of the art tv? Get out of here with that, nope. Z- If it were an option.
