Mini-LED Pro and 4K UHD Picture Quality
The television features a native 3840 × 2160 4K UHD resolution.

Hisense's Hi-View Engine Pro processes picture information, while MEMC motion processing helps improve the appearance of fast-moving scenes.

Filmmaker Mode and IMAX Enhanced support provide additional viewing options for compatible material.
