The screen uses a backlight-free, self-lit OLED technology and can provide deep blacks, highly-accurate colors (100% color fidelity certified), 0.1ms response time, and is equipped with LG’s super anti-reflection (SAR) coating. Powering it is an α (Alpha) 9 Gen 5 intelligent processor with unique picture algorithms.
