This is an LCD with an RGB backlight, not RGB OLED.","hdr_formats":"The exact 85-inch Dolby Vision Mode and HDR rows establish the stored legacy formats. Future Dolby Vision 2 Max firmware is not treated as delivered and lacks an exact schema option.","vrr_technologies":"Exact 85 maker row explicitly names FreeSync Premium Pro. Public tested-85 review establishes HDMI Forum VRR and G-SYNC compatibility. Formal NVIDIA certification is not inferred.","audio_formats":"Exact Dolby Processing names Atmos and Dolby Digital Plus, DTS Processing names DTS:X, and USB Audio Player names MP3. Dolby Digital and PCM are listed only for passthrough and are not used as decoder evidence. Containers such as MKV and AVI are not audio codecs.","audio_features":"Maker explicitly names Bang & Olufsen and FlexConnect capability. The original full guide printed page 19 has Beosonic controls. Optional wireless speakers and a subwoofer are excluded from built-in driver count, channels, power and subwoofer presence.","smart_home":"Exact Works With row names Apple HomeKit.

Page 2 exact 85RM9L column is used. Series up-to 5600-plus zones and 9000-nit claims are not exact 85 counts. Current exact-85 page repeats those maxima, while the public review size table assigns them to the 115-inch and states 2912 spatial zones/4000 claimed nits for 85. Both optional numerical fields are omitted because this discrepancy remains unresolved. BT2020 Color Ratio does not establish a measured gamut coverage method. Page 1 publishes 30-bit backlight controllers multiplied by three. This control resolution is not native panel bit depth.","gtins":"Page 2 exact 85 UPC-US 846042050913. The separate Canadian UPC is not merged.","local_dimming":"Page 2 explicitly states Precise Full Array Local Dimming. The live exact-85 Local Dimming Type N/A row conflicts with that implemented feature and is not treated as absence.","native_refresh_rate_hz":"Page 2 explicitly states Native Panel Refresh Rate 144 Hz. Game Accelerator 288 is accepted lower-resolution gaming, not native 4K refresh.","usb_downstream_ports":"Original sheet says one USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0. QSG printed page 10 depicts three physical USB positions, including one on the rear and two on the side. The two side USB 2.0 sockets are explicitly rectangular USB-A. Only the rear USB 3.0 connector subtype remains unknown and is omitted.","power_consumption_standby_w":"Original sheet states less than 0.5 W. The stored number is a qualified upper threshold. Operating watts are TBD and omitted.","vesa_screw":"Page 2 exact 85 column states M8 x 10, whereas original QSG printed page 7 says M8 x 16. Diameter M8 agrees, screw length remains unresolved and is not stored. M5 stand screws are distinct.","dimensions_with_stand_mm":"Page 2 exact 85 column states 74.0 x 44.1 x 15.0 inches, converted by 25.4. The maker live metric row labelled WxHxD puts 380 mm before 1120 mm, so its mislabeled tuple is not silently reordered. Original sheet dimensions take precedence. The sheet does not identify which height position this tuple uses.","dimensions_without_stand_mm":"Page 2 exact 85 column states 74.0 x 42.3 x 1.4 inches, converted by 25.4. Live metric WxHxD instead puts 35 mm before 1075 mm and is not used. This is unit conversion, not added measurement accuracy.","weight_with_stand_kg":"Page 2 exact 85 column states 114.2 pounds, converted by 0.45359237 and rounded to six decimals.","weight_without_stand_kg":"Page 2 exact 85 column states 111.1 pounds. Captured live imperial table instead said 110.10 pounds while its 50.40 kg metric value agrees with approximately 111.1 pounds. Original sheet takes precedence over that conflicting live imperial row.","warranty_years":"Original US sheet states one-year limited warranty. Statutory rights and paid retailer extensions are separate.","panel_generation":"Original highlights and picture table explicitly name WHVA 2.0 Ultra. No panel manufacturer or physical VA subtype is inferred solely from that branded name.","anti_reflection_coating":"Original page 1 expressly describes the WHVA 2.0 Ultra panel as anti-reflective. A matte finish is not implied.","video_inputs":"Page 2 explicitly names four HDMI 2.1 inputs at 4K 144 Hz. Its HDMI 4 eARC assignment agrees with full user guide printed page 16 but conflicts with QSG printed page 10 HDMI 1.

Sheet separately names a far-field mic array.","stand_positions":"Printed page 5 explicitly depicts two height installations, low or high. Cable-cover inner/outer slots are not additional stand-width configurations.","wall_mount_included":"Printed page 7 expressly says wall-mount hardware and accessories are not included.","video_inputs":"Printed page 10 labels all four HDMI sockets 4K 144 Hz. Original sheet explicitly states four HDMI 2.1 inputs. The QSG identifies HDMI 1 as eARC, while sheet page 2 and full user guide printed page 16 identify HDMI 4; unresolved port-number disagreement means eARC is omitted from individual input rows. Support for eARC itself is explicit in both. No numerical bandwidth is inferred from revision.","hdmi_features":"Maker exact 85 table explicitly names Auto Game Mode ALLM. QSG signal table and original full guide establish VRR, eARC and CEC controls. These sources do not resolve the conflicting eARC port number.","in_the_box":"QSG printed page 4 lists remote, two AAA batteries, power cable, stands and stand screws. Printed page 5 specifies six screws. Original sheet separately includes guide and warranty information.","usb_downstream_ports":"Printed page 10 clearly depicts the two side USB 2.0 sockets as rectangular USB-A connectors. The rear USB 3.0 shape remains unknown and its connector column is omitted.","remote_connection":"Printed page 10 explicitly labels an IR receiver that receives signals from the TV remote. Bluetooth remote transport is not inferred from a generic accessories pairing menu."}},{"url":"https://static.helpjuice.com/helpjuice_production/uploads/upload/image/5306/6536668/GoogleTV_User_Guide_85-98RM9L_US_EN.pdf","kind":"manual","accessed":"2026-10-05","fields":["manual_url","bluetooth_audio_out","motion_interpolation","hdmi_features","audio_features","ambient_light_sensor","filmmaker_mode","smart_home"],"notes":{"manual_url":"Original 27-page US English 85/98RM9L full user guide opened alongside the original 19-page quick-start guide.

LED Motion Clear is separately described backlight control. Generic Game Master up-to 144 VRR language is not used to cap all accepted lower-resolution inputs.","hdmi_features":"Printed page 16 has HDMI CEC device-control settings and explicitly assigns eARC to HDMI 4. That assignment agrees with the original sheet but conflicts with QSG printed page 10 HDMI 1, so per-port eARC is omitted.

These stale names are preserved as a source limitation, not used as evidence of aliases. Numerical lag, brightness and zone results are omitted.","refresh_rate_modes":"Public Supported Resolutions prose explicitly says up to 4K 144 Hz on all HDMI ports and up to 288 Hz with 1080p and 1440p, with proper 4:4:4 at all supported formats. QSG requires VRR and/or High Frame Rate Mode for 144/240/288 Hz and its 1440p preset list stops at 144; that preset list does not establish an absolute maximum. Bit depth and DSC are unstated and omitted.","low_framerate_compensation":"Public VRR prose explicitly says all types of VRR and LFC work. A numerical VRR range is not public and is omitted.","black_frame_insertion":"Public BFI prose explicitly states optional backlight strobing at 120 Hz.
