- Unfocused buttons are transparent rather than distracting, contrast is better, transitions feel responsive, and icons are consistent throughout.
- Automatic performance tuning detects how capable your TV is and dials the heaviest visual effects up or down, so older sets stay responsive while newer ones keep the full look.
- Performance mode lets you choose the tradeoff yourself between Auto, High Quality, Balanced, and Performance.
- Lighter visuals on weaker hardware, with background blur reduced or disabled where it would slow things down.
