First things first, this TV scores an F energy rating, which isn’t the highest on our list but it’s still very impressive. As of March 2021, the new rating system has made most previous A+ TVs a G rating! So, an F rating isn’t to be dismissed.

So much so that pictures actually look much more dynamic and bold than the good (for this price level) peak measured brightness of around 540 nits would lead you to expect.

Smart features– smart features are great for usability, but not so much for energy efficiency. We’ve listed the smart features available on all the TVs we reviewed.
