What's good
Excellent aesthetic integration with Art Mode, making it look like framed artwork.
Matte display and anti-reflection finish significantly reduce glare, especially in bright rooms.
Slim profile and the One Connect Box with its almost invisible cable allow for a flush wall mount and clean installation.

What's not
Significant bloatware and intrusive ads on the home screen, with limited options to disable them, particularly on newer models.
Issues with redeeming included Art Store subscriptions, often resulting in only a 30-day trial instead of the promised longer period.
Backlight issues reported by some owners, sometimes occurring shortly after the warranty expires.
