The OLED panel supports a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth motion while watching live sports, action-packed movies and shows, and even while console gaming. You'll also get support for Dolby Vision HDR, which enhances detail and lets you get the most out of the OLED panel's capabilities. And with support for both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync VRR, console gamers won't have to deal with annoying screen tearing and stuttering.
