Q: QuestionDoes this set require external speakers?
Asked by JRBS.
- A:Answer No additional speakers are necessary. They come built in and I think the sound quality is fantastic! You could definitely add external speakers or a soundbar if you wanted to. The great thing is that the feet of the tv can be installed in a way that lifts the tv higher so you can fit a soundbar neatly underneath.

Q: QuestionWhy does this TV seem so dim on every mode except “Vivid”? Even when I turn the brightness up all the way it is still hard to see darker scenes in shows and movies.
Asked by DrGamer.
- A:Answer That's the drawback for any OLED TV. The blacks are deeper but you cannot appreciate them as much in a well-lit room or during day-watching. The max brightness for this TV is 1000 nits (I think) and that is not quite enough to justify placing this TV is a bright space. If you really are having a trouble watching you might want to consider one of the newer models or other models that have higher brightness (atleast 1500 nits). If you do not have the budget for them, your last bet would be do switch to a QLED but as you might know, it has its own drawbacks depending on your requirements.

Q: QuestionIs there an outlet for wireless headphones on this TV?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Im not sure how you mean outlet for wireless headphones? It has 2 usb so I could assume you could hook up wireless headphones that are paired with the usb. I didn't see an aux headphones jack but that would be for wired headphones. Now I have my wireless headphones and ear buds paired via Bluetooth directly to the tv because it has built-in Bluetooth, both are beats headphones and buds but I don't see why any Bluetooth device wouldn't work. Hope that helps.
