Connecting external devices
Before switching on the TV, connect your external devices before continuing with the initial installation. Depending on the connections available on your TV, follow the guidance below when connecting external devices.
HDMI Connection
For optimum picture quality, we recommend connecting your device to the TV using an HDMI cable.
Information on 144 Hz Refresh Rate
This TV supports a 144 Hz refresh rate for all resolutions up to 4K.
To achieve 4K@144 Hz, the connected device must output a video signal at that resolution and refresh rate. The device must be connected to the TV using an HDMI cable marked as "Ultra high speed" or better.
HDMI CEC-Compatible Devices
If an HDMI CEC-compatible device (e.g., Blu-ray player, AV receiver) is connected with an HDMI cable, you can operate the device with the TV's remote control. We recommend using the HDMI (ARC) connection when connecting an AV receiver. Please refer to the ARC section of this Operation Manual.
