Panel detailWOLED; 77″ and 83″ use a Primary RGB Tandem panel with Hyper Radiant Colour TechEdge-lit LCD with active-shutter 3D. The UK manual labels 1080p at 60 Hz as panel native, but does not reconcile that line with 3D panel driving or Samsung's motion processing labels; a comparable native refresh rate is left unlisted.
