Panel detail
Panel detail	Curved LCD; Samsung specifies a 3000 R curve for 32, 40 and 48 inches, and 4200 R for 55 inches. Direct-lit VA panel on the 32-inch HDTVTest sample.	LED-backlit LCD with Sony X-Reality PRO processing. The exact UK 50-inch review found no local-dimming control, so no local-dimming capability is assigned to the series.

Sony UK lists Motionflow XR 800 on the 50/55-inch sheets, a processing designation. A native panel refresh figure was not verified for all three sizes.
