- Q1 202688/100
Buyers love the OLED picture with deep blacks, HDR, and smart TV features. Some note listing inaccuracies regarding a bonus game code, and one warns it's more a TV than a pure monitor.
- Excellent OLED image quality with deep blacks, HDR, and high refresh rate.
- Smart TV features are appreciated but monitor acts more like a TV; not for everyone.
- Listing is misleading: advertised game bonus is region-locked and not available in Canada.
- Very low minimum brightness reduces eye strain during long use.
- Q3 202560/100
Buyers rave about the stunning picture quality and smart TV features, but one reviewer finds the intrusive smart TV UI makes the monitor unusable as a PC peripheral.
- Excellent picture quality, bright and sharp with great colors and blacks.
- Intrusive smart TV UI forces unwanted prompts, long wake delays, and requires a remote.
- Built-in smart TV functionality is a pro for some, but a major con for monitor use.
- Limited height adjustment and minimal documentation compared to previous models.
