Japanese brand REGZA has launched two new flagship televisions, the X990S and the Z990S. The first uses the latest RGB Tandem OLED panel from LG Display, while the second relies on advanced Mini LED backlighting with quantum dots. The manufacturer promises a significant improvement in picture brightness compared with the previous generation.
RGB Tandem OLED with improved cooling
REGZA X990S features an RGB Tandem OLED panel using four emissive layers, one red, two blue and one green. The manufacturer has also employed a new heat dissipation system with two aluminium layers.
This means the TV is said to offer around 30% higher brightness than the previous X9900R. An improved anti-reflective coating is also said to reduce light reflections by up to half. It also includes a 5.1.2 audio system with Dolby Atmos, delivering up to 180 W of power.
Mini LED also brings significant changes
The second model, the REGZA Z990S, uses a 4K LCD panel with dense Mini LED backlighting and a quantum-dot layer. The new backlight control system is said to deliver up to 40% higher brightness when displaying an all-white image. Also new is the Backlight Scan feature, which uses short dimming of individual backlight zones to reduce motion blur. Both TVs use the REGZA Engine ZRα processor and offer four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K at 144 Hz. The X990S series is available in 55 and 65-inch sizes, while the Z990S comes in 65, 75 and 85-inch variants.
Prices for the new REGZA TVs in Japan start at 550,000 yen, roughly PLN 13,800. The most expensive model, the 85-inch Z990S Mini LED, costs around PLN 22,100. Availability in Poland has not yet been confirmed.
The new models went on sale in Japan on 16 October. Their availability in Poland has not yet been confirmed.
