Low Latency Mode is automatically enabled when games are launched.\u00a0The feature list also mentions support for premium HDR Dolby Vision, along with HDR10 and HLG.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the LT-65VO9100 has a variety of image processing features including 4K upscaling for regular HD content and Micro Dimming to optimize dynamic contrast ratio.\u00a0Unfortunately, JVC does not comment on the VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) feature in its press release.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/62_techweek.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

65VO9100 TV features a Linux-based Smart TV system that the manufacturer claims contains a vast ecosystem of streaming apps including\u00a0Netflix\u00a0, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Red Bull TV, and Amazon Music.\u00a0The selection of apps may not be as comprehensive as on Android TV, but users still have something to watch.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the missing applications can be installed independently via the Google Play store.\u00a0The VO9100 TV can also be controlled using voice commands.\u00a0To do this, the device provides technologies such as Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.\u00a0VO9100 series TVs are equipped with a tuner with DVB-T2 \/ C \/ S2 reception.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound quality<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike the picture quality, the sound of the VO9100 is not very different from that of a typical budget TV.\u00a0The only exception is the total output power, which is 24 W (2 x 12 W).\u00a0This power is quite enough for watching usual programs in a small room.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of deep bass starts to show when watching music programs and blockbusters.\u00a0However, the TV has the ability to achieve\u00a0surround sound\u00a0through built-in\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0technology\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>These TVs also support HDMI Enhanced Audio Return Channel when connected to an external sound system.\u00a0There are also built-in options: DTS: X, Dolby Audio, DTS HD decoder, equalizer and the ability to customize the sound yourself using the tuning modes.<\/p>\n<p><a

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Connections<\/h3>\n<p>The disadvantages of the set of connections can only be attributed to the lack of analog RCA inputs.\u00a0The rest of the connectivity is on par with leading-edge OLED TVs from other manufacturers.\u00a0Whether you&#8217;re looking for a TV for gaming on your PC, Xbox Series X, or PlayStation 5, you&#8217;ll love the three HDMI 2.1 ports.\u00a0One of the ports provides an\u00a0eARC\u00a0(Enhanced Audio Return Channel)\u00a0connection\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>The TV is also equipped with two USB 2.0 ports, an antenna input, a digital optical audio output, a line-in connection to the Internet, a CI + slot for paid channels, and an audio line-out for connecting headphones.\u00a0Wireless connections include Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VO9100 Price<\/strong><br \/>\nThe start date of sales of JVC VO9100 is planned by the manufacturer in November 2021.\u00a0Like most manufacturers who buy OLED panels from LG Display, there are only two TVs in the VO9100 series: the JVC LT-65VO9100 and the JVC LT-55VO9100 with diagonals of 65 and 55 inches.\u00a0Unfortunately, there is no information yet on how much these OLED TVs will cost.<\/p>\n<p>Most likely, the starting price will be announced just before the start of sales.\u00a0Residents of European countries, with the exception of Great Britain, the Scandinavian countries and France, may become the first owners of such TVs.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>It remains to add that with the introduction of its first 4K OLED TV, JVC has begun to compete with premium brands such as LG Electronics, Sony and Panasonic.<\/p>\n<p>How competitive these TVs will be depends on the price, which is currently unknown.\u00a0On the one hand, VO9100 is not some kind of discovery or a breakthrough into the previously unknown.\u00a0On the other hand, this TV is equipped with the latest 2021 technology.<\/p>\n<h3>Specifications<\/h3>\n<table
