Great, but don't expect 4k 120hz as a PC monitor
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The TV itself is good. Colors will not be quite as vibrant as an OLED, but it generally performs well in all lighting conditions. The biggest issue I have had with it is the lack of true 120hz mode. When connecting a PC, you can select 4k 120hz, but the image is quite soft and choppy. This leads me to believe that it does not actually support 4k 120hz as advertised. There are likely other, cheaper TVs with as good or better image quality that actually support 4k 120hz. I am not sure if the same 4k 120hz issue applies when connecting a Playstation 5 as that has worked well thus far.
