The QLED panel with Quantum Dot delivers vivid colours, but without a VA panel or high native contrast, legibility may be limited in bright daylight.
Films and series
Good
HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos decoding with DTS:X deliver reproduction suited to cinematic content, despite 20 W RMS audio output.
Sport
Medium
The native 60 Hz refresh rate with Natural Motion suits standard broadcasts, but is limited for fast motion requiring 100 Hz or more.
Gaming
Good
HDMI 2.1 with VRR and auto low latency mode make console gaming easier, although the native 60 Hz holds back the performance of the latest generations.
Streaming
Very good
The Titan OS system integrates the main platforms (Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube) with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2 for direct access to 4K content.
