FAQs
What is 4K Ultra HD?

What is QD-Mini LED technology?
QD-Mini LED combines Mini-LED backlighting with Quantum Dot technology. Mini-LEDs provide thousands of tiny light sources for precise control over brightness and contrast, leading to deeper blacks and brighter whites.

Troubleshooting
TV won't turn on
Ensure the power cable is securely plugged into both the TV and a working wall outlet. Try pressing the power button on the TV itself, not just the remote. If using a power strip, ensure it's switched on.
No picture or sound from connected device
Check that the HDMI cable (or other connection type) is securely plugged into both the TV and the external device. Confirm the TV's input source is set correctly to the HDMI port your device is connected to (e.g., `HDMI 1`, `HDMI 2`).
Internet connection issues on Google TV
Go to `Settings` -> `Network & Internet`. Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled and connected to your network. Try restarting your router and modem. If the issue persists, try forgetting the network and reconnecting.
Picture quality not 4K
Ensure the content you are watching is 4K resolution (e.g., from a 4K streaming service or 4K Blu-ray). Check your device and TV settings to confirm 4K output is enabled. For streaming, a stable high-speed internet connection is crucial.
Remote control not working
Replace the batteries in the remote. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV's IR sensor. If it's a Bluetooth remote, you may need to re-pair it in the TV's settings.
