960 zone dimming is not adequate at that size, there's still significant blooming viewed in person. IIRC a few years ago Sony already had that many zones, give or take, on the Z9D, and the 100" model was also in the same price range, on which each blooming area was the size of a fist. It's stupid to choose this over OLED, and you don't need "mini-LED" for this.
Just as I thought, this half-assed concept has become breeding ground for deceptive marketing.
