Does this model has the 1000 nits MiniLED panel? Or is it a regular 500 nits IPS panel instead?
Asked by: Karam
I am confirming that after further reviewing this exact model I can 100% say that this exact unit is only 500nits IPS panel at 240Hz and it is definitely not a Mini-LED. 250Hz variety panel is the only Mini-LED one which still is not posted anywhere in North America as of this writing.
