Great TV for gaming PS4. Love the features. Let's begin, I paid full price blah blah blah not an ad. Anyway, this is a great TV for the price. By price I mean the picture quality only in that it's not as dark as way more expensive tvs. The resolution is great, no issues playing the PS4 in HDR. (you have to go into the settings and enable HDMI 2.0). Every review I read about this TV said it's a great second TV. That's exactly what this is. The best second TV. My GF and I got this for her room. At first she thought it was big but she really likes it even when I'm not here (or so she says lol). Features: it has a ton, stream all the YouTube and Netflix and such. But... My GF watches a lot of TV (off direct TV). This TV let's you choose what input to go to when you turn it on. This makes it easy for us to use the direct TV remote (I'm sure it would work for anything) to just press the power button and the tv goes to that input. It's different from making it turn on to the last channel or input. We could have been watching Netflix and turn it off and on and it'll go to the direct TV input. If I had this TV I would set it so everytime I turn it on its ready to play my ps4. Another feature I like about the remote is that if you press the Netflix, Hulu, Roku (don't use it), or Disney+ (don't have it) the tv turns on and goes directly to Netflix. Picture: I don't know... I'm not an expert. It just looks like the darks are less dark. That's all. Very bright TV. It's a 4k TV so it's 4k resolution. Seriously... It's the perfect second TV. Buying a TV for a bedroom? Get this one. Buying a TV for... the garage? Idk this is a great TV. Would I get it for my living room? No. Do I have it in my room? No. Not flexing, just being informative... My main console is the PS4 pro. The TV we bought is the 50 inch version. In my room I have a... Let's say 900 dollar TV. That TV is living room quality because I wanted to spend that much. If you're looking for anything under 500 because that's what you can afford. This is a the best TV for that in my opinion. This TV is easier to use than my other TV. I really like the dedicated buttons for Netflix and that it turns on straight to what I press. You cannot reprogram the buttons. The best reason I could find is something about marketing partnerships. Either way, great TV. Also!!! My GF likes to sleep when it's really dark. This TV has a square on the bottom that lights up when you press a button or when you turn it off. DON'T WORRY. There is a setting where you can turn it off. It's really bright if that's all that's on. Almost nightlight level. Just turn it off. Anything else... (rambling clearly shows I'm not a pro reviewer. Or does it...). Just a great TV. Don't notice any lag. My issue about dark parts is just that if I was playing a game and it's a dark tunnel, you can still see everything in the picture. It's just the darks are... very bright. Anyway. Great gaming TV. Great TV for the price category. Last thing, the "Cons" part: (dramatic music) When I took it out of the box it totally had that cheap plastic smell. It does go away. Remember the price but that the tv will still be great. Just had that smell. Still a 5 star product for me. Not really a con but plug in the power cord before you wall mount. Reaching the ports on one side is easier than plugging in the power cord on the other. The line on top of Netflix or streaming services... Yes, my TV does that sometimes. What am I talking about? Sometimes when I am watching Netflix, Hulu, or YouTube (the only streaming services I have tried. The TV has many more available just go to the home menu to select them) there's a small line across the top of the screen about an inch down from the edge of the screen. As best as I can describe since it's not doing it now and can't take a Pic, it freezes a previous scene in a very narrow line. My gf didn't notice at first. And it didn't really bother us. To be honest, I had already mounted it and was trying to stay calm. One solution I found online was to unplug it for 30 seconds. Of course I tried it and it still came back. It does happen way more seldom. I trust a future patch will solve it but in no way does it hurt my 5 star score. When we watch TV it's never there and when I play ps4 it's never there. So, I assume (OK I agree with the smarter people online) that it's probably a software issue that will get patched. Again... It doesn't affect the inputs. It won't be there when you play PS4 or watch TV. Just sometimes when you watch Netflix. Just try turning it off and pressing the Netflix button. It's still a great TV. The 4 stars in picture quality in my review is just about the dark colors. Still a 5 star tv. (owned it for 2 weeks so far) Edit: I added a picture of the "line" issue I talked about. Also, I thought of another question. If this tv was just within my budget, would I get something that may have a better picture but smaller screen?... No. I would choose this TV hands down.

I seriously cannot believe this thing for the money. I ordered two of these for my desk (don't laugh, I have a big desk), expecting that I would probably return them. I was thinking there's no way they would be good enough to run 4k clearly 3ft from my face, and low latency at 60Hz 4:4:4, and have deep enough blacks in a dark room, and produce great color. I've never been so happy to be wrong. It met all my requirements and then some. The only problem I'm currently having is finding a display port to HDMI adapter or cable that can handle 4k@60Hz, 4:4:4, HDR and HDMI 2.0a but that's not the fault of the TV. Is it something you would use for photo editing or perfect color and contrast for movie watching? Of course not, but you will be hard pressed to find anything in this price range that will even come close. I attached some pics for your viewing pleasure taken with my Gs9 at 4032x2268, although Amazon my compress them... Edit: Almost 2 months in and still very pleased with these. The panels were not identical in color in both sets, but that's not uncommon. I had to calibrate them and now they look almost identical. Unless you're getting two to sit side by side like I did, it should not be an issue. My office is dimly lit most of the time and these settings work well for me. Picture mode Normal, Backlight 75, Brightness 50, Contrast 100, Color 50, Tint 0. Edit 09/21/19: Figured I would update this post. Both displays are still going strong. No issues whatsoever. Still very happy with my purchase. These are true 4K displays and work great for gaming. As one of the comments mentioned, they are not going to compete with gaming displays and I have had overpriced small gaming monitors. I much rather play on this, and they have 100s of hours of gaming on them with no issues. Extremely sharp, and they work great as monitors. If you have a different experience, it needs to be calibrated. I spent a good few hours getting these dialed in, and it was worth it! Edit 03/16/21: One of my panels just went dim a couple days ago. Still keeping the rating as is because I've put thousands of hours on these panels and this one partially slipped off my desk a couple of months ago and fell into a cabinet behind it. Going to by a 2021 model to replace it. Will write a review there once it comes in and I have it next to my other 2018 model.
