Perfect Computer/Gaming Monitor
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this TV to replace my old computer monitor. My desk is rather large, and the 43" fits perfectly. The 5 Series comes with a built in gaming mode for better, more noticeable performance. TLDR: It works great with my computer and gaming.

Excellent for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent TV for the price. Nice screen that takes advantage of Dolby Vision. We use it for the TV in our kids' playroom. Disney + and Netflix looks terrific on it. Roku is nice as well, but I have not played around with it too much yet.

Very good color reproduction
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good color reproduction. Good Roku system. Roku menu tiles do not highlight once in a while and I have to reset the TV to get that functionality back. All in all, a good TV.

Nice!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very impressed by the display on this TV, looks really good with the built in apps, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime video and Disney plus all streaming in 4k. Do your self a favor and buy a sound bar to make your experience 10/10.

Great colors, shame they no longer make it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, but they no longer make the QLED version in anything less than 50". Only issue was that the dolby vision stopped working on Apple TV after a power outage.

Good 4K TV for the money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good 4K TV for the price. I would like the sound to have a wider range, but that is minor since I use a soundbar when watching movies.

Great Second Screen
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this as an additional display in my home office. Works great. I can't speak to the HDR or 4K quality of movies or TV but as a computer monitor it is well worth the price.
