The recent launch has certainly piqued the interest of many TV enthusiasts over the past few days, albeit not without its share of drawbacks. One such issue being highlighted is its choice of screen as Sky opted for a Quantum Dot 4K instead of the rumoured OLED.
While this does offer a brighter viewing experience, it doesn’t quite match up to the standards set by flagship OLEDs from giants like Samsung and LG.
