Reviewers from rtings have found:

The Samsung Sero is a decent TV for most uses. It has good visibility in bright rooms, decent viewing angles, and it upscales lower resolution content like cable TV and videos from social media sites well. Unfortunately, its low contrast ratio and bad black uniformity make it less ideal for watching movies. It can't deliver a satisfying HDR experience due to its low HDR peak brightness and lack of local dimming.

Pros

Good visibility in bright rooms
Decent viewing angles
Low input lag and low lag

Cons

Low contrast ratio and bad black uniformity
Mediocre peak brightness
No VRR support

Reviewers from techradar have found:

The Sero features the Quantum Processor 4K found on most new Samsung TVs. It's fully able to handle fast motion – something we saw in action with Netflix's The Old Guard. The 16:9 aspect ratio also means you're still watching most TV and movies in its intended format. The optional ‘amplify’ sound mode will emphasize voices and dialogue.

Pros

High-contrast 16:9 aspect ratio
Excellent picture quality

Cons

No Dolby Vision
No HDR10+ support

Reviewers from tomsguide have found:

The Samsung Sero is the first TV designed with mobile users in mind. When your phone is paired, the Sero becomes an extension of your screen. While it's most seamless with a Samsung phone, iPhone users can use AirPlay to reflect their screens. The Sero's audio underwhelmed during my initial impressions.

Pros

Always-on display doubles as a photo gallery or digital clock
Gorgeous design

Cons

Audio underwhelms
