Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, mount the TV at least 10-15cm away from the wall to allow the Ambilight LEDs to diffuse correctly. During setup, ensure you connect the device to a 5GHz WiFi network to prevent buffering during 4K streaming. To care for the screen, only use a dry, soft microfiber cloth; avoid using liquid cleaners or household detergents which can damage the anti-reflective coating. Ensure your firmware remains updated through the settings menu to maintain compatibility with the latest streaming service requirements.
