What you get
Mini LED dimming keeps blacks very deep with almost no blooming, and the anti-glare screen all but removes reflections, so it looks great with the curtains open. Filmmaker Mode is natural, and all four HDMI ports take games up to 165Hz. Some presets need tweaking, the sound is average, and there's no Dolby Vision.

How we reached this verdict
What Hi-Fi calls it an outstanding living-room TV if you can afford it and don't mind some tinkering: outstanding backlight control, well-judged Standard and Filmmaker modes and an excellent gaming display, but no Dolby Vision and a high price for an LCD. Expert Reviews praises outstanding backlight control, bright colourful pictures and exceptional gaming support. Tom's Guide finds it the best Mini LED for a bright room thanks to its anti-reflective coating, with superb blacks, but notes its brightness and colour trail rivals.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
