Q: What is the difference between OLED and nano?

A: OLED stands for Organic Light-Emitting Diode, with "organic" referring to the carbon film that sits inside the panel before the glass screen. It is an self-emissive technology that doesn't need a backlight because its pixels are self-lighting. The self-lighting pixels create contrast while the absolute motion clarity produces images that are crystal clear and blur-free with over 100 times faster response speed than any conventional LED or LCD TV, and have infinite contrast and perfect black color to bring you real images. Every pixel is illuminated to make every detail visible and lively. LG Nano Cell Technology, an advanced LCD technology enhances the hue quality via 1nm particles compared to the 12nm sized particles in conventional displays for a much more accurate display of hues. LG Nano Cell technology uses particles to absorb unwanted light wavelengths and enhance the purity of the red and green colors displayed on the screen. In addition, they create subtler, more accurate colors that stay true, even at wide viewing angles...^IFV

A: The LG NanoCell 81 Series 2020 55 inch Class 4K Smart UHD NanoCell TV w/ AI ThinQ® (54.6'' Diag), Model # 55NANO81ANA is an LED LCD TV that uses an IPS Panel and like other IPS panels, it will have a viewing angle of about 178°...^IFV

Q: Does the base swivel

A: No the base does not swivel

Q: Hi how do you think this tv would perform on the upcoming PlayStation 5 and does it have hdmi 2.1 ?

A: This TV features 4 HDMI inputs. Ports 3 and 4 in the rear are version 2.1. ^Daphane

Q: How wide is the stand

A: The stand width is 33.1". ^Daphane

Q: Can other apps like PBS be downloaded?

A: You can use the LG Content Store (App Store) feature in the LG NanoCell 81 Series 2020 55 inch Class 4K Smart UHD NanoCell TV w/ AI ThinQ® (54.6'' Diag), Model # 55NANO81ANA to download and install additional compatible apps on the TV.
