Beautifully dynamic and vibrant pictures ; Excellent sound quality ; Distinctive and adjustable design ; Supports most of the latest gaming features ; Content-rich smart system

Can lose black level in bright light ; No high frame rate Dolby Vision gaming ; Only two HDMIs support 4K/120Hz ; Google TV interface can be confusing

Supremely natural, authentic picture ; Bright highlights that others miss ; Excellent sound by TV standards

LG OLEDs are better for gaming ; Not outright brighter than an LG G2 ; Bravia CAM's usefulness is dubious

Only two HDMI 2.1 ports ; No HDR 10+ ; Stand will divide opinion

Dolby Vision limited to 4k @ 60Hz. Ambient light causes black levels to raise. Text clarity issues and color fringing. Stutter with low-frame-rate content. SDR brightness is just okay.
