Find new favourites, faster, with voice search. Jump right to a show or movie just by saying it, or try browsing with a voice search like “find action movies”. Press the voice button on your remote to get started.

Flush Surface for more immersive viewing

Versatile premium stand, designed for any TV positioning

A versatile 2-way stand gives you the choice of a standard setting that focuses you on the picture or a narrow setting for smaller shelves.
