First impression of The Sero
While I first look at The Sero, I notice the large stand right away. You won't need a TV cabinet thanks to this stand, as the TV can simply stand on the floor. If you order wheels for The Sero via Samsung, you can easily roll the TV to another place in the room.
A unique function
The most noteworthy function of The Sero is the rotatable screen. When I connect a smartphone to the television, the screen automatically rotates accordingly. It will take the television about 2 seconds to rotate to a different mode. Thanks to this, you can display the content of your mobile device on the vertical screen. This allows you to view your Instagram feed on your television. The speakers are hidden on the bottom of the wide stand. It's unfortunate that The Sero is only available in the blue color. It's likely that this color doesn't fit in with your interior.
Vibrant colors and no reflections
Thanks to the QLED technology, the television displays bright colors. When I watch images of plants, the colors pop on the screen. The colorful parts are very bright in relation to the black parts. In combination with the 4K resolution, the images are detailed too. This allows me to distinguish the nerves of a leaf. Since 2022, The Sero has a matte screen. Thanks to the matte screen, I won't see any reflections on the screen while the television is placed in a brightly-lit room. The brightness and colors don't really change either. This ensures a good viewing angle.
Rich sound
Behind the blue upholstery of the stand of The Sero, you can find the audio system. Because the design of the television doesn't really provide room for a soundbar, the television has a good audio system. The audio system consists of 4 speakers and a subwoofer. As a result, the sound is rich and I can listen to a deep bass thanks to the subwoofer. Music sounds better because of this, and the sound of a car driving by really gets me during an action movie.
Minimalist remote control
The Sero includes the minimalist One Remote. The stylish, white remote is comfortable to hold and looks orderly thanks to the small number of buttons. The One Remote of The Sero is unique compared to the other models. That's because this remote has a button to easily turn the screen. Thanks to this, you won't necessarily need your phone for this.
Conclusion
The Sero is a unique, but also a very specific television. If you like to watch content from apps like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook on your television, The Sero is a suitable television. The unique design is an addition to your interior, as long as the blue color fits in. The QLED screen displays images with a high brightness and wide color gamut. Thanks to the matte layer on the screen, you won't be bothered with annoying reflections. All in all, it's a complete television that should suit your needs.
