Specifications
Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- The 85-inch screen size creates a genuinely immersive viewing experience that makes movies and sports feel dramatically more engaging than a 65- or 75-inch set.
- Google TV provides a clean, unified interface that aggregates content across streaming services, so you spend less time switching apps and more time watching.
- The 4K X-Reality PRO upscaling engine visibly improves non-4K content, which matters when much of everyday cable and streaming is still delivered in 1080p or lower.
- PS5-specific features like Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode are a genuine bonus for PlayStation owners who want optimized visuals without manual calibration.
- AirPlay and Alexa support alongside Google Assistant means it plays well with both Apple and Amazon ecosystems right out of the box.
👎 Cons
- No HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K/120Hz support means competitive gamers and those wanting the full next-gen console experience will hit a ceiling at 60fps.
- The VA-type LED panel has narrower viewing angles than IPS or OLED — colors and contrast shift noticeably when watching from the sides in a wide seating arrangement.
- At 85 inches, the TV is heavy and requires two people for unboxing and setup; the included stand feet also demand a very wide TV console.
- Built-in speakers lack the bass depth and spatial separation to match the screen's cinematic scale, making a soundbar purchase feel like a necessity rather than an upgrade.
- Peak HDR brightness is lower than Sony's premium X90 and X95 models, so highlights in Dolby Vision and HDR10 content don't pop as dramatically as on higher-tier sets.
