This feature enhances the television's utility beyond traditional broadcasting, making it a fantastic centerpiece for family gatherings and social events.

These models also include a 600Hz Sub-field Drive technology, which improves motion clarity, reducing blur during fast-paced scenes such as sports or action movies. This technology ensures that viewers can enjoy a smooth cinematic experience without sacrificing detail.
