Check Price
We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests are done with specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.
Test Results
The F4500 performs really well in a dark environment where you can benefit from its deep blacks.
If you have a lot of windows, you won't be able to appreciate this TV during the day. It reflects too much light.
The reflections are a problem even during bright scenes.
