Know before you buy
Yes, it is well-suited for gaming. It features a 120Hz native refresh rate, support for up to 144Hz VRR, and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) to ensure smooth, responsive gameplay with minimal lag.
With over 200 local dimming zones, the TV can independently adjust the brightness of specific areas on the screen. This results in deeper blacks and higher contrast, preventing the 'washed-out' look often seen in standard LED displays.
Yes, it offers comprehensive HDR support, including HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG. This ensures you get the best possible picture quality regardless of the streaming service or physical media format you are using.
Absolutely. The TV includes an HDMI port with eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), which allows for high-quality, uncompressed audio transmission to compatible soundbars or home theater systems.
Google TV aggregates content from all your favorite streaming apps into one personalized home screen. It also features built-in Google Assistant for hands-free voice control, making it easy to search for shows or manage smart home devices.
At 85 inches, this is a very large display. You should measure your console to ensure it can accommodate the width of the TV, and verify that your wall or stand can support the weight of the unit.
