| Display | ||
| Panel | LED LCD | Mini-LED |
| Panel detail | Curved edge-lit LCD with 4200R curvature and active-shutter 3D. Samsung's 1000 Clear Motion Rate is a processing label, not the native panel refresh rate; the UK specification does not publish native Hz. | Mini LED with Quantum Matrix Technology Plus |
| Resolution | 1920 × 1080 (Full HD) | 3840 × 2160 (4K) (better) |

| Picture processing | The UK 55-inch specification lists Micro Dimming Ultimate, Auto Depth Enhancer and 1000 Clear Motion Rate but says Precision Black local dimming is absent. HDTVTest found that Cinema Black darkens letterbox bars, though some settings shifted the whole picture's brightness. | 4K AI Upscaling Pro, AI Motion Enhancer Pro, Real Depth Enhancer Pro, Auto HDR Remastering Pro, Color Booster Pro, HDR Brightness Optimizer; Ultimate UHD Dimming |
| Picture modes | Movie mode and ten-point white balance controls allowed very accurate greyscale on the HDTVTest and AVForums 55-inch test sets. Samsung's UK table confirms 2D-to-3D conversion and two included active glasses. | Filmmaker Mode, EyeComfort Mode; Smart Calibration (Basic/Professional) |
| Motion handling | HDTVTest measured 1080 lines of motion resolution with Motion Plus engaged versus 300 without it on its 55-inch unit; these are reviewer measurements, not panel Hz. It also saw occasional motion hiccups after scene cuts and mild 3D film judder. | Motion Xcelerator 165Hz |
| Viewing angle | HDTVTest found blacks and colours washed out beyond about 40 degrees off-axis on its 55-inch review unit. The curve did not materially improve its viewing angle. | Wide Viewing Angle |
