It has a decent design, very similar to last year's model, and it delivers decent picture quality. It has a great contrast ratio but only decent black uniformity, and some clouding is noticeable. It has good peak brightness in SDR and very good reflection handling. This TV also has great smart features, including Amazon Alexa integration.
Unfortunately, it has mediocre motion handling, and it can't display HDR content very well, as it can't get very bright and can't display a wide color gamut.
Model tested: 55” (55LF711U20)
Should also be valid for the 43” (43LF711U20), and 50” (50LF711U20).
