Massive Scale HDR with Micro-Zone Precision

The 98QM8K implements Precise Dimming L2 with an ultra-dense QD-Mini LED array and Micro-OD optics, enabling thousands of discrete dimming zones and All-domain Halo Control to suppress blooming while preserving extraordinary peak luminance (up to 5000 nits). The CrystGlow WHVA panel and ZeroBorder anti-reflective treatment maintain wide-angle uniformity and color fidelity on a very large canvas. AiPQ Pro pixel-level tuning, MEMC and Motion Rate 480 deliver reference-grade detail and fluid motion across film, sports and gaming content.

Precise Dimming L2

High-density mini zones and optical engineering sculpt light precisely to produce deep blacks and bright highlights with minimal halo artifacts.

HDR 5000 Nits

Extraordinary HDR luminance for specular highlights and bright-room performance while maintaining nuanced highlight detail.

AiPQ Pro & MEMC

Pixel-aware processing, adaptive tone mapping and frame interpolation combine to preserve intent, minimize judder and optimize motion clarity.
