An excellent, very bright TV with accurate colour, fast gaming and spatial audio, earning an Editors' Choice, though it has just three HDMI ports and costs more than its predecessor.
Read PCMag UK review - 70WIRED
Extremely bright with strong contrast and gaming features at a good price, but with colour accuracy issues, overbright defaults and only three HDMI ports.
Read WIRED review - 89est.ZDNET
A sensible, bright and colourful mini-LED that works well in lit rooms and for gaming at a heavily discounted price, with minor drawbacks in HDMI count, thickness and bass rattle.
Read ZDNET review - 89est.TechRadar
