Picture Quality
After screen size and resolution, the very next feature of a display that impacts picture quality is Color Gamut.
Speaking of which, this TV is rated with a DCI P3 gamut coverage of 90%. Incase you're wondering, this is equivalent to 122.73% sRGB. The color accuracy on this TV will be Lifelike!
What Color Gamut means ?
Color gamut specification of a TV is a measure of the range of colors that the display can produce.
In layman terms, it determines the ability of a display to produce accurate colors. A panel with low gamut coverage will miss out on some colors (such as deep red), thus producing a "washed out" picture.
Different manufacturers use different measurement standards to define color gamut. Such as — sRGB, NTSC 1953, DCI P3 Adobe RGB and rec.2020.
As for this TV its color gamut is specified using DCI P3.
But don't worry, here is a chart that will help you choosing a TV with good color accuracy.
Now, next in the list is Static Contrast.
The importance of static contrast ratio
A TV with low static contrast ratio will not produce deep enough blacks and can bleed backlight as shown below:
The image is an example of another display, it is not this oneThe above TV's static contrast is 800:1. So make sure you get a TV with a static contrast of >= 1000:1. Ofcourse, More the better.
Also, a TV with high constrast ratio enables you to see more details. So, resolution and static contrast ratio go hand in hand in a sense.
This TV features a static contrast ratio of 4000 : 1., good enough to achieve deep blacks. For the record, it also comes with local dimming backlight technology which is a plus.
Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) and HDR10+ are also supported on this TV.
As for brightness, it can go as bright as 300 nits. The backlight used on the panel is Direct LED.
Gaming Performance
If you aren't planning to game on this TV, you can ignore these specs. But if you are also going to use the TV for playing games or use it as a PC monitor, you should take a TV that features the lowest input lag and response time.
The input lag on this TV is 20 ms and its minimum response time is N/A. It is good enough for casual and non-FPS games but is not suitable for competitive or FPS games like COD.
What is Input Lag and Why it matters ?
This lag is the amount of time at which key-presses/mouse movements changes the content of your display. For casual Non-FPS games, input lag doesn't matter much.
For best of both worlds, look for a TV that has an input lag and response time of < 20ms.
