The most affordable model can be found in the MU 6 Series. This lineup includes sizes ranging from 40 to 75 inches, with that 40-incher starting at $549. In addition to the standard MU features mentioned above, this model has Motion Rate 120, built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, three HDMI inputs, and two USB ports. It also comes with the Smart Remote Control, which has voice recognition capabilities for easy navigation. The MU 6 Series includes a total of six flat-screen models, with three curved screens from 49 to 65 inches.
