Even better, Samsung has thrown in HLG, which is the HDR standard that most broadcasters use, so if you want this TV specifically for watching sports, you'll get some amazing contrast and image quality. While, unfortunately, it doesn't have a native high refresh rate of 120Hz, it does have Auto Motion Plus, a framerate smoothening technology that tries to recreate a similar look.
