Know before you buy
Instead of traditional speakers, this TV uses actuators behind the screen to vibrate the panel itself, turning the entire display into a speaker. This ensures that sound comes directly from the action on screen, creating a more immersive and precise audio experience.
Yes, the Google TV platform provides access to virtually all major streaming services, including Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and YouTube. You can also download additional apps directly from the Google Play Store.
While OLED technology offers industry-leading contrast and perfect blacks, it is best suited for rooms where you can control the lighting. If your room has significant direct sunlight, you may experience some glare, though the XR processor helps maintain image clarity.
Yes, the TV features built-in far-field microphones that allow for hands-free Google Assistant control. You can simply speak to the TV to change channels, adjust volume, or search for content without needing to pick up the remote.
The Cognitive Processor XR mimics how the human brain focuses on images. It analyzes and optimizes individual elements—like color, contrast, and depth—in real-time to make the picture look more natural and lifelike compared to standard image processing.
No, the TV includes a tabletop stand. If you prefer to mount it on the wall, you will need to purchase a compatible VESA-compliant wall mount separately.
