First Impressions​

The design of the Westinghouse Edgeless QLED TV gives an impression of a sleek, modern display; however, it is somewhat misleading as it features a noticeable half-inch bezel around the screen. This discrepancy between the advertised appearance and reality can be disappointing for consumers expecting a truly bezel-less experience. The overall build feels solid and the TV is easy to unpack, with the supporting legs attaching effortlessly.

Compatibility
The smart features of the TV, powered by Roku, come with mixed reviews. Users have reported frequent app issues, such as applications disappearing or crashing, leading to frustration.
