Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- 120Hz native refresh rate delivers smooth motion for sports and fast-paced content

- HDMI 1.4 ports do not support 4K passthrough or the bandwidth of newer HDMI 2.0+ standards
- 2014-era webOS may no longer receive app updates, limiting access to current streaming services
- Stand adds significant depth at 9.7 inches, requiring a deeper furniture surface
