Additionally, it employs Deep Chroma QD technology, which converts the wavelength of the backlight using quantum dot technology to enable very pure creation of the three major colours (red, green, and blue), resulting in exceptional brightness, contrast, and a broad colour gamut. 

 

The spectator will be virtually transported into the on-screen experience when the pictures are combined with the high-performance speakers on top and bottom of the screen.
