    Reviewers from techradar have found:
    The NanoCell 9 Series SM9500 is one of the best-sounding TVs we've ever heard thanks to AI Sound, One Touch Sound Tuning and its built-in 40w speakers. It has a wonderful picture quality that's leaps and bounds more accurate than the first Super UHD TV we saw at CES 2016. Its audio quality rivals low-end soundbars, but you'll still want a separate sound system for Dolby Atmos.
    Pros
    • Best-in-class upscaling
    • Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos
    • AI Sound and Magic Remote
    Cons
    • No Dolby Vision
