• Energy use — check SDR/HDR energy consumption if power efficiency is important
• Mounting — ensure your wall bracket supports 200 × 300 mm VESA and the TV weight
• Connectivity needs — confirm available HDMI/USB ports and network options match your devices

For best results, place the TV where ambient lighting can be controlled, enable HDR and local dimming for compatible content, and use wired Ethernet for stable streaming when possible. Calibrate picture mode to your viewing environment to balance brightness and colour accuracy.
