Edit: have to use port 3 or 4 to get 144hz and complete vrr support.

I just received this yesterday because I bought this back when the 50" version first was posted on sd.

I've had some experiences with cheap 120hz tvs used as monitors before so I was prepared for problems with the tv and I got them.

I updated the firmware immediately when getting the tv. The panel was well protected by a thick slab of honeycombed cardboard.

The good news is there is no resolution downscaling when running at 4k 120hz like other cheap 120hz tvs have.

TV only works in 144hz mode when run on 1920x1080. At any higher resolution, it will force you to 120hz. Also, in order to enable VRR at 4k (which is disabled and not even clickable), you have to go into 1920 mode, enable vrr, apply settings, then switch back to 4k 120hz.

I tried running this at 2560x1440 and the image was messed up. https://imgur.com/a/bRiufaz . This is common on tvs because they often neglect non-tv resolutions.

Games would all cause the tv to go into 60hz mode when they ran. In order to fix this, I had to go into the nvidia control panel, change resolution, then scroll away from the "ultra hd..." section to the PC section and select 3840x2160 and 120hz. Note that 144hz is not an available option. However, doing this turned off Dynamic Refresh rate in Windows. Turning Dynamic Refresh rate back on in Windows would then switch Nvidia control panel back to 60hz for games (although it was still running at 120hz in windows). Btw, pressing the settings button on the remote twice will show you what your current refresh rate is.

I notice a fine cross hatch pattern while moving in games that is not visible while standing still. From prior experience, this means that the tv is running in hdr mode even while hdr is disabled and mapping 8bit color channels into 6bits so as to leave 2 bits of space for HDR and then using temporal color dithering to simulate the lost colors.

I also set the hdml signal mode to enhanced (aka hdmi 2.1) like Notadealio recommended but all the problems were unchanged. It was on auto before and I am using a 2.1 cable so i think it detected the correct hdmi mode to begin with.

All in all a lot of compromises with this tv but it's cheap.
Bought one on Cyber Monday.

My takeaways:

-OS was sluggish out of the box. 144hz worked fine until I did an OS update, then it disabled enhanced HDMI mode and locked it to 60hz. Re-enabling enhanced mode allowed 144hz to work again. I factory-reset the TV and the OS is MUCH faster, but on reset 144hz mode vanished and only allowed me to select 120hz mode. Re-applying OS updates enabled 144hz again.

-Response times are around 4-5ms. This is fairly acceptable for the type of panel the TV has.

-It is a VA panel, so blacks look great and colors are vibrant. It has a prominent color-shift when viewed at an angle, but I've not observed ghosting and the motion blur inherent with VA panels is palatable when gaming (also not the worst I've seen from a VA).

-Freesync works just fine with my Nvidia laptop and my AMD desktop.

-Text is clear and this would would fairly-well for a monitor connected to a PC in my opinion.

-The speakers are not particularly good, but they're serviceable.

-I rather like the remote. It has a button to enable low-latency game mode that is quite handy.

-Beware spamming buttons on the remote. The TV accepts all button presses in a que, so if you experience lag and press a button repeatedly in an attempt to get the TV to comply.. you will be waiting a moment as it cycles through all your inputs in-order. Before I reset the OS the system hanged when I was enabling game mode with the remote and in my frustration I pressed the button around seven times -I was forced to watch the TV enable and disable game mode in slow-motion several times before it would comply (this prompted my factory reset of the thing).

Overall it's stupendous for the money. I wouldn't buy it for anyone older than gen-x due to the software quirks though.

Are you able to test and see if it does Chroma 4:4:4 from the test link earlier in the thread? For many that's a deal breaker for using on the PC for productivity/etc. Thanks!
Very curious about this. I'd buy this for work and gaming. Coming from a 34" ultra wide 1440p, I would like to know if they text would be sharp enough.

crazy because my 40" TV just bit it last night and I figured all the deals were gone.

what about not for gaming/using as a monitor, and just for TV/film? I appreciate high refresh rates on iPhone/iPad Pro

Just checked it out for you and the test looked fine. I did not see any blurring.

Slickdeals effect. It has been on sale at this price for over a week. I purchased it last Monday or Tuesday (it was delivered on Friday).

Can you let me know where you have to go in Settings to find the Advanced HDMI modes?

I was thinking of replacing my 32in Samsung 4K @60hz w/ this one. I sit about 2 to 2.5 ft away and wondering if it's overkill. Also, wonder if it will behave correctly to standby/wake from a Win11 PC
I've been using a 43" monitor for 4 years now. Same distance as you. I primarily use it for windows side-by-side and it's been fantastic for productivity.

1) Are you using HDMI 3 or 4 inputs? Those have HDMI 2.1 capability
2) Is your GPU HDMI 2.1 capable?
3) You using an HDMI 2.1 cable? Preferably one that is Ultra-High speed certified
