Passable but won't blow your hair back.
The picture - the colour - is (as might be expected) utterly stunning and it goes downhill from there.
Dolby Vision is supposed to make the picture better but the reality is that it looks fake - particularly when the 60Hz framerate is in use. It's something that's better seen than described but it's reminiscent of early US soap operas which were limited by the available technology.
Sound (claimed to be Dolby Atmos) is passable but not exciting. Bass is lacking and I suspect that my renewed model has been pushed so hard that the drivers are broken with audible clicks when the bass is pushed only slightly by program material.
As a monitor it's good but not great. 60Hz refresh is fine for television but a modern PC, XBox or Playstation will offer 120Hz refresh which is more responsive.
But it gets worse - imagine that. The Android TV OS is V11 - current version is V14 and Netflix goes haywire. I've never been a big fan of Android - Google is far too keen to spy on us and it takes some effort to find and disable the defaults which share pretty much everything with the company.

Professional quality for the professional market.
It's the charger that should come with the laptop and like the rest of the machine it appears sturdy and well-built. Just because these machines are cheap doesn't mean they're cheaply made.

Hellish, provocative a must watch for students of film
A difficult watch brilliantly executed. A terrific script with heavyweight support from Max Von Sydow - with a personal and moving comment from Mathieu Amalric on the shaving scene.
