I really like this TV for about 75% of my uses. Unfortunately for the other 25% of my use, I really dislike it.
What I liked: The panel is a true 10 bit panel. It supports true 4:4:4 chroma which is an absolute MUST if you plan to use it as a PC monitor. Input lag at 1080p is decent at around 35 ms. The refresh is pretty fast so not too much ghosting. The tv supports HDR-10 which is pretty amazing at this price point.
What I didn't like: The input lag at 4K is pretty unusable at around 60+ ms. If you plan to game at 4K, then look elsewhere. This is not the TV you're looking for. To give an idea, if you are playing a FPS fast action shooter, if you push the trigger, two or three whole frames will pass before it shows up on the screen. Viewing angle is really narrow.
Who this TV is for:
Those who want a TV for watching movies but aren't concerned with wide viewing angles. People who are planning to use it as a PC monitor but not for gaming. This TV makes a FANTASTIC PC monitor due to 10bit and 4:4:4 chroma support. (if you don't know what chroma support is, see attached pictures. The crisp sharp text is the chroma 444 and the blurrrier one is chroma 420) Want a great picture but are on a budget Gamers who only plan on gaming at 1080p
Who this TV isn't for:
Gamers who want to play 4K resolution Large crowds where people will not be able to be able to view from straight on.
In conclusion it's a fantastic value if you aren't gaming in 4K or require wide viewing angles
