Pros
- Sits about 10 inches from the wall for a 90 inch picture, so it can replace a TV on a console
- Tizen with Netflix and the other big streaming apps built in, so no streaming stick is needed
- eARC passes Dolby Atmos to a soundbar or receiver
Cons
- Dimmer than most ultra short throw rivals at its price, so it struggles in bright rooms
- Limited to 60Hz with high published input lag, so it is a poor pick for gaming
- Manual focus and no automatic keystone, so placement must be exact
