the previous mic button. Meanwhile, the new Home button replaces the usual Input button,

providing quick access to the Home Hub for effortless management of all your connected

devices.

navigation simple and smooth. Engineered to unify your smart ecosystem, the AI Magic Remote streamlines control across all your devices.

smart technology that adapts to your preferences, every moment at home becomes more immersive, intuitive, and truly yours.

appreciate the good in today while opening doors to tomorrow’s possibilities through meaningful, connected experiences, because life’s good when your TV feels like it knows you.
