In her free time, you'll catch her travelling the globe – the perks of being a freelance tech expert – tending to her plants when at home and, but of course, planning her next big trip.As you can see in the greyscale results, we were able to get reference levels of accuracy and have gamma tracking perfectly to BT.

In fact, our main takeaway from playing HDR on the 55A7GQ is that it tends to make black levels even worse.Given its size, a decent soundbar is a must, but judged on its own merits it offers solid clarity with dialogue; a presentation that’s clear, crisp and pleasingly sharp but refrains from wondering into sibilant territory. does reach the claimed 90% coverage with the saturation tracking also doing a decent job of aiming for accuracy with WCG content.
