Samsung The Sero

The Samsung Sero is a decent TV for most uses. It has good visibility in bright rooms, decent viewing angles, and it upscales lower resolution content like cable TV and videos from social media sites well. It has a fast response time and low input lag, making it a good option for gaming and use as a PC monitor. Unfortunately, its low contrast ratio and bad black uniformity make it less ideal for watching movies. Also, it can't deliver a satisfying HDR experience due to its low HDR peak brightness and lack of local dimming.
