And also avoid using HDR

Also it's edge lit. Just get a full array local dinning version

Or just don’t buy LCD and get an OLED. All LCDs look terrible anyway. The technology is fundamentally unsuitable for making televisions.

LCDs are much better for outdoor use or bright rooms. Well, usually. The ones in this submission are clearly substandard.

The ones in this submission are clearly substandard.

I don't think so? 25 out of 82 random TVs.

Excluding the 18 OLEDs ... over a quarter of the remaining TVs in the test suffer from uniformity issues.
