It achieves this without benefitting from one of the new high-brightness panels that have found their way into the premium models of some brands’ OLED ranges this year. The thrillingly realistic picture on this gorgeous OLED TV combines with immersive 4 sided Ambilight to create cinema-sized excitement. It’s discreet to the point of anonymity - the only branding to be seen is on one of the slender feet on which it stands. I took a screen of the 800 series to have the ambilight 4 sides which gives a nice rendering for a screen hung on the wall and allows to be more immersed in the picture. The screen itself sits very close to the feet, which means it’s very low to the surface on which the TV is standing.

Even bog-standard TV broadcasts remain watchable, though they’re a bit soft and noisy by comparison. They’re reversible, so you can either have a bright shiny metal finish on display, or a darker, smokier alternative to suit your decor.

Well, that and Ambilight - the LEDs to the rear of the set which illuminate the surrounding surfaces, as if the picture emits beyond the TV screen. This allows soundtracks that support the technology to place sounds above and around the listener with compatible kit. You'll enjoy a picture that reflects the director's original intentions and experience spacious sound with real clarity and depth. The darkness the screen can produce is impeccably consistent, too, both in terms of its resistance to the sort of fluctuations and instabilities we still occasionally see with some OLED TVs, and how absolutely even it is right across the screen. This huge brightness really doesn't last long - but then many of an HDR picture's very brightest elements are only onscreen for a brief period too.

But if you want to stay clear of unwanted processing artefacts, you should stick with the Pure Cinema – or if you don't mind sacrificing a little brightness – Fast Motion Clarity options. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. And the excellent picture quality - balanced and naturalistic, yet vibrant and exciting at the same time - is augmented by four-sided Ambilight for extra immersion and reduced eye-strain. We thought about this being caused by vibrations, but me jumoing in front of the TV does not cause this.The TV's smart features are provided by the Android TV (v10) OS, although this will be upgraded to the new Google TV system at some unspecified future date.
