A:Answer Hi there,
Thank you for your question. Yes, the TV can play HD material. It upscales to near 4k quality and looks great! There are several ways to adjust the motion to taste so it looks clean and clear.
As for dead pixels: SCREEN (For LCD TV only): Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and has effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction.
