" ... I was pretty skeptical about these TV's but I know own 6 of them and outfitted our Shore House with them because you can put them ANYWHERE without a need for cable. ... "
" ... Other than that, it looks good in our rv. ... "
" ... This is the second 4K TV my family purchased for our apartment. ... "

" ... The Roku interface is very simple to use, and I love that I can update it with new apps. ... Google Home is good at turning the TV off and pausing Pandora by my voice commands, but it usually doesn’t work to turn it on with my voice, and when I try to use voice commands to change the volume, it tells me that volume control is not available. ...

I went online to one of the popular gamers for the game I play (World of Tanks) and I took his suggestions, the settings he mentioned were from the top-gamers of this game, the settings they use in tournaments. ... PC Gaming is about Frame Rates Per Second. ... The folks at Xbox and PS worry about that for you w/consoles, but gamers have to deal with it and its the most important stat. ... The more detail you want in your game (Performance) the FPS will drop. ... There is a sweet spot in there, but all of that is based on your Graphics Card and Gaming System. ... I'm sure you can too, search youtube for your games settings. ... I recommend once you get this TV, you get the settings for in-game play, settings for the console you're playing the game on and the settings for the TV itself. ... "
" ... Teen son loves it for movies, YouTube, and gaming. ... "
" ... Bought this so I can play videogames in 4k and it looks a lot better than my old TV even on the older gen games! ... "
" ... Very nice Tv for gaming bought this to use on the Xbox Series X coming soon and its already been amazing on the Xbox One S ... "
" ... So good in fact, that I added an XBONE and PS4 Pro, and do most of my gaming in my office (which my wife appreciates, as she can use our media room setup). ... "
" ... First off, let me say I don't know a thing about Hz, chroma, or if it's good for gaming, or any other technical info. ... "

" ... - IT DOES NOT HAVE A POWER BUTTON ON THE TV. ... "
