Key Features
1. High Picture Quality
Mini-LED Pro: Brightness and Contrast Beyond Its Class
The U8S series utilizes a greater number of smaller LED backlights compared to conventional LCD TVs, resulting in bright, high-contrast images with detailed clarity. The maximum brightness has been improved by 25% compared to previous models. The AI engine meticulously controls the MiniLED backlight by dividing it into fine areas, enabling precise contrast expression.
Hi-QLED Quantum Dot: Rich Color Gamut
Quantum dots convert backlight light to achieve highly pure colors, significantly improving green and red color reproduction compared to conventional LCDs. With Pantone-certified realistic colors, the U8S series delivers richer hues and deeper immersion.
AR Coat Low Reflection Wide Viewing Angle Panel Pro
The panel surface features an AR coat low-reflection film, suppressing external light reflections. The reflectivity is reduced by 28% compared to previous models, ensuring clear images even in bright rooms or when viewed from an angle.
Hi-View AI Engine Pro II with Deep Learning AI
The newly equipped AI engine leverages Deep Neural Networks (DNN) to instantly recognize scenes, accurately analyze skin tones, depth, and motion, and optimize brightness, contrast, and color. This results in vivid and realistic visuals.
