Another noteworthy aspect is the energy efficiency of the S30 series, which boasts a modest power consumption relative to its size. This makes it an environmentally friendly choice for consumers looking to cut down on energy costs while still enjoying impressive visual performance.

Further enhancing the connectivity options, the S30 models are equipped with multiple HDMI inputs, ensuring that users can connect various devices such as gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, and streaming devices without hassle. The inclusion of a USB port and component inputs adds to the versatility, allowing for an easy setup of entertainment systems.
