These are TVs for the North American market with ATSC / ClearQAM standard digital tuners. NanoCell series, televisions with enhanced screen matrices. Screens are made using IPS technology but a layer is added in which modern materials are used. Namely, super small crystals (nano crystals), the use of these materials improves the transmission of color tones.

Features of the TVs SM9500PUA, SM9000PUA, SM9070PUA

TVs differ in technical parameters, as well as in design. More details about the technical characteristics can be found in the table.

SM9500PUA vs SM9000PUA

The SM9500PUA is introduced a bit later than the SM9000. The main difference in the SM9500 model is a screen with a color depth of 10bit. In the SM9000 TV model, 10-bit color depth is achieved by dithering. This means that the matrix with a color depth of less than 10 bits is installed in the SM9000 model, and since the screens are lower in class, this is with a color depth of 8 bits. then in such screens, a color depth close to 10 bits is achieved by using flickering FRC backlight. The SM9000 has an 8-bit + FRC screen. As a result, the SM9500 series TVs have higher brightness and contrast. The design of the TVs is the same.
