The broad 178-degree viewing angles provide crisp, consistent images even from off-center locations, and the 5ms (GTG) response time guarantees that motion blur and ghosting are kept to a minimum for quickly moving images.

Mini-LED screens are LCDs, but offer some advantages over traditional LED backlighting. The individual LEDs are smaller, so more fit behind a panel. As a result, Mini-LEDs provide deeper black levels and better contrast ratios compared to conventional LCD screens. Mini-LEDs screens are also able to achieve higher brightness.
