A:AnswerLocal dimming is a feature on LED TVs that dims the backlight behind parts of the screen that are displaying black. This makes blacks appear deeper and darker on those parts of the screen, which can be a big bonus for people who watch videos with darker scenes, like movies and TV shows. Full-array Using Local Dimming: These are very similar to the way LCD TVs were configured but instead of using the CCFL backlight, they use LED backlights instead. The term‚ “full-array” simply means that the LEDs cover the entire backside of the LCD panel.

A:AnswerThe best way to ensure this TV will meet your needs when viewed at an angle is to view the unit in person. We would recommend reaching out to your local Best Buy location to ensure they have the unit on display for you to check out. ^CP
A:AnswerIf you’ve dug through your game console’s settings, you’ve probably seen an option for “Full” or “Limited” RGB output. So if you are connecting your gaming console to the LG SK8000PUA 4K HDR Smart LED SUPER UHD TV w/ AI ThinQ® - 65" Class (64.5" Diag), Model # 65SK8000PUA, you should always use RGB Limited for ideal image quality. Not every TV will let you choose your color space. In fact, many TVs will be set to RGB Limited with no option for RGB Full which is the case with the 65SK8000PUA. Game consoles, TVs, and other devices communicate colors using a range of numbers. RGB Full is commonly used for monitors and it uses values from 0 to 255, where 0 is reference black, and 255 is reference white. This is most commonly used on PCs. “RGB Limited” represents colors using values from 16 to 235, where 16 is reference black and 235 is reference white. 0 in RGB is the same black as 16 in Limited, and 255 is the same white in RGB as 235 in Limited. They are just two different scales for representing color. There is one small difference, however. In the case of RGB full, 255 is reference white, but it’s also the whitest possible color on the scale. There are no values above 255. In the case of RGB Limited, 235 is the same reference white, but there are still whiter whites going all the way up to 255. So while you calibrate your TV using 235 as reference white, movies and TV shows—which are mastered using RGB Limited, not RGB Full—can have highlights going all the way up to 255. This is commonly referred to as “whiter than white”, and allowing for those values can help prevent "ringing" artifacts on some video. You always want your TV set to the same color space that your playback device is using. If you have a TV set to RGB Limited, you’ll also want everything hooked up to it like PCs, game consoles, DVD players, and so on, set to RGB Limited, so they’re using the same scale. If your TV is set to Limited and a device hooked up to it is set to Full, the color values won’t match up properly, your console will say “black” and your TV will read “grey", so things will look washed out...^IFV
A:AnswerThe 65SK8000PUA has a Nano Cell Display that improves color accuracy with its expanded color gamut to deliver truer colors and deeper black levels at a wide viewing angle. You should be able to watch sporting events in the quality of picture they were designed to be displayed in. ^CP
