The panel uses Quantum Mini LED for local dimming (1,056 zones) combined with 14-bit processing. This gives it 16,384 levels of black and a static contrast ratio of 1,000,000: 1. It supports “Quantum HDR 2000”, which means a peak brightness of 2,000 nits (with some Samsung marketing in it). The display has a matte finish to reduce glare and reflections.
The display has a refresh rate of 165 Hz (with FreeSync Premium Pro support) and a gray-to-gray response time of 1 ms. If you are playing older titles, Neural Quantum Processor Ultra can bring them to 4K resolution.
Extensive connectivity options including four HDMI inputs
The support you find in the package allows you to adjust the height and angle, plus there are three wall mounting options (200×200, 300×300 and 400×400). As for the cockpit mode, it allows you to rotate the screen 90 ° so that the bottom of the screen is mostly vertical while the rest of the screen is suspended above your head.
