In short
This H1 is Sony 3840×3552 / 116° H / 53 PPD Micro-OLED Super. Keep hero 23M and TBD PPD versus Complete 53 PPD / 72–90 Hz. Do not copy QLED Super’s 3840×3840 / $1,599–$1,799 or Dream Air’s <170 g here. Grams stay TBD.

Who should skip it
- Shoppers of QLED Super ($1,599–$1,799 / 3840×3840). That is a different slug.
