A:Answer the viewing angle, like any other VA panel, is not as good as IPS and is average. Best seating is directly in front of the TV, but even being on the left or right side of a couch should not take away from the viewing experience, but in my experience does lead to a little more blooming around white symbols (hardly noticeable unless you are looking for it). I have done a solid amount of research for the best TV for my price range, under $1000, and this is the best option for the price and is as competitive as some models ~$1500-2000 when it comes to HDR movie watching and peak brightness. I am very happy with the purchase, but your intended primary use for this TV, EX. gaming or pc monitor, will hinder how much you enjoy this TV. If you are using it for some gaming, it does great with this but is not set up for next gen., and mostly HDR movie content then you will be thrilled with this TV. Hope this help, this is only my opinion but from all my research and all i have seen from other TVs this does HDR content as good as any out there.
