The display is Pantone Validated for authentic color and skin tones, and supports HDR10+ for infinite contrast. It is a flat panel design with a tiny punch-hole camera.

While the panel supports HDR10+, HDR video playback on platforms like Netflix may not be available due to certification requirements.
