Beyond the impressive screen color and brightness, integrated Alexa support, and overall performance, I believe what separates a good TV from a top-tier one are three critical factors:
Seamless 4K Streaming and Local Network Connectivity
This TV fully utilizes high-speed internet, supporting speeds up to 245 Mbps, which is more than enough for smooth 4K streaming across platforms like Netflix, Prime, and Disney+. It also connects flawlessly to a local network, allowing effortless transfer of large 4K files—perfect for accessing content from a personal media server.
Support for Ultra HD Blu-ray (Level 5.1) - HEVC/H.265 Main 10 Profile, Level 5.1 (10-bit depth)
This TV is fully capable of playing Ultra HD Blu-rays at Level 5.1, the highest level I currently own. This ensures it handles the highest-quality 4K HDR content with ease.
Bonus: Since Level 5.1 is already very advanced, it supports all lower levels too, making it perfect for most users.
Massive Codec Support
With a large movie library in various formats—like .mp4 and .mkv—this TV’s compatibility has impressed me. It handles different codecs seamlessly, eliminating the need to convert files to make them playable.
Internet Speeds:
Ethernet: Maxed out at 100 Mbps (picture attached).
Wi-Fi: Maxed out at 245 Mbps (picture attached).
Sound Quality:
The sound is loud and crystal clear. I don’t feel the need for external speakers.
Pro Remote Control:
Included for free (worth ~£30), adding great value. It is a nicer upgrade from my old remote. (picture attached)
This TV is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a top-notch 4K LED experience without the price tag of QLED or OLED.
Very very happy with this purchase.
Performance
It boots up with 5 seconds, really really fast.
The TV is incredibly fast—I’ve never experienced lag when playing 4K content or navigating menus. (Video proof attached.)
Unboxing and Setup: Took me about 15 minutes.
Installed Updates: Another 15 minutes.
Picture Quality: The picture is crystal clear, and I didn’t need to adjust the brightness.
Mainly, I use it to play HEVC/H.265 Main 10 Profile, Level 5.1 (10-bit depth)—one of the highest 4K UHD formats I own. Note: You’ll need to install VLC Player to access these files.
