There’s no difference between the U.S. and Canadian versions, but other factors could impact brightness like the size and especially the settings used. Our peak brightness measurements are done after calibrating the TV, and this can decrease the brightness substantially on some TVs.

Gotcha! Thanks so much!

Hi there! I recently bought a S5/S551G 43-inch model and it seems to gave better peak brightness than the model that’s reviewed here or so it seems. Obviously I don’t have tools to prove or see this but I’m getting what seems to be 500+nits, it gets pretty bright. HDR content also looks better too as a result. So I’m curious if the model you bought and recieved (Canada?) is different than the US version as far as the quality of the panel and wattage goes. Maybe I lucked out. Or maybe I’m just being a goober

Edit: I also max out brightness and contrast, so that might be it.

Either way, you guys are amazing and hoping to use your calibration settings, so here’s hoping for the best. 🤞
