Gamers will be happy to hear there's Dolby Vision gaming and 4K 120Hz with VRR and ALLM support across all four HDMI ports. Watch out though: the G2 is really designed to be wall-mounted, and it doesn't come with a TV stand or feet out of the box. You can buy a floorstanding Gallery Stand alongside, or find a third-party solution for placing on a counter, though. This is a major consideration if you're considering the huge 97-inch model.
