About
A QLED TV with full-array local dimming, Dolby Vision IQ and far-field microphones that let you talk to Alexa without touching a remote. The standout smart home feature is the ambient dashboard: when idle, the screen shows camera feeds, calendars and device controls instead of going black. Picture quality is solid mid-range rather than premium, but nothing else doubles as a wall-mounted home hub this cheaply.
Pros
- +Hands-free Alexa
- +Doubles as a smart display
- +Frequent discounts
Cons
- −Mid-tier picture
- −Ads on the home screen
