A:Answer This is not the same as last years panel, this panel rates significantly higher according to rtings. Also, this is the only brand of TV, that I can never find any open boxes for. This means they’re either selling less of them, or they’re delivering a high quality product.
However, it is using an IPS-ADS Display that is 8bit+frc. However, it is using quantum dot technology, so the color gamut is highly enhanced to deliver a very vibrant picture. The viewing angles are unmatched by anything but OLED and it has a solid refresh rate as well.
Yes, you can get a 10 bit VA panel, that has slightly better black levels, but you give up viewing angles and potentially reliability by going with the TCL line of displays (there was a point when Best Buy stopped selling them due to high failure rates).
