$500–$1,000 Check current price on Amazon → Live prices vary daily — Amazon link is affiliate (small commission, no cost to you).Entry-tier Mini-LED at the budget end. Fewer dimming zones than the U8N, less peak brightness, but still a Mini-LED + Dolby Vision + 144 Hz set under $700 at 65". The sweet-spot pick for buyers who want Mini-LED but can't quite stretch to the U8N.
