Overall loving it.... it is VA panel so you will notice some shift in contrast in some angle viewing...

The TV out of the box need setting and it will be quite challenging setting it up... to the colour you want...

It somehow come with cool colour so I adjust back to standard... reduce backlight as the backlight is crazy overpowering I set to half...

some setting need to reduce as well like sharpness also need reduce...
My computer can detect 4K with HDMI 2.0 but then cannot detect HDR... maybe not compatible cause not using HDR10 standards...
Pure HDR can detect by Netflix and if you download HDR .mkv file it can render correctly...

The TV can read NTFS and FAT file EXFAT cannot read... took me whole night to figure it out... damn!

Playing games is great buy a gamepad from those ipega... you no regret one...

I stream from Steam and it work wonders no lag...

I also play emulator and so far it is great all those classic nintendo games can work...

Games work fine some demanding games will lag cause the processor is mid spec only not flagship processor...

The remote need to pair inorder voice assistance to work

once setup correctly you will love this TV expecially when you have fast internet

You can install apps like kodi and other apps to see movies/video/drama (dont ask where cause lowyat forum policy, just google and be smart)

overall I'm satisfied with the TV... want to watch movie get a good soundbar or those powered bookshelves speaker that can take Optical

Not supported....Chrome not available
You can side load (from those apk site) and use file explorer / es file explorer via USB to install...

I use Puffin browser it is better optimised for TV OS

I owned a g2 55inch no problem so far

Just annoying only can adjust screen brightness/contrast in 'live tv' mode.

Anyway around it?

I would advise ppl to choose away from skyworth tv coz got no support/upgrade.Better go with known brand those as they inplement tv settings better.
