Professional reviewers praise the V864Q-AVT2 for its high brightness, wide viewing angles, and rugged construction that suit 24/7 signage and large video-wall installations. The integrated OPS slot with an ATSC tuner and support for Raspberry Pi add flexibility, while the SpectraView Engine and TileMatrix deliver precise color and seamless tiling. Critics note the lack of a native smart OS, a modest 60 Hz panel, and the unit's considerable weight and size.

Professional reviewers consider the TH-65CQE1WA a solid mid-tier option that balances cost and capability, praising its USB-C connectivity and control protocol support while noting its lower brightness and lack of portrait mode.
Everyday users appreciate the ease of installation, reliable USB-C video, and the convenience of the built-in browser, but they commonly criticize the basic remote, outdated Wi-Fi, and occasional backlight uniformity issues.
“Installation was straightforward and the USB-C video works flawlessly.”

“The built-in browser is handy for quick signage updates.”

“Brightness feels low in bright office spaces.”
