Back in May, OPPO launched the OPPO Smart TV K9 Series in China. The company debuted the television in three sizes – 43-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch. More than four months later, the firm has now announced a 75-inch version of this TV at the OPPO K9 Pro launch event yesterday (September 26).

OPPO Smart TV K9 75” Specifications and Features

The newly launched OPPO Smart TV K9 75” is similar to the OPPO Smart TV K9 65” in terms of specifications. The only differences between the two are display size and storage capacity. As the name suggests, the new model sports a 75-inch screen and comes with 32GB internal storage instead of 16GB. However, the amount of RAM remains 2GB.

Like most mid-range smart televisions these days, the new OPPO TV features a metal frame with a 95% screen-to-body ratio. It sports an LED-backlit (DLED) LCD panel with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K), 1.07 billion colors, 60Hz refresh rate with MEMC, and 300 nits brightness (typical).

The display has a 93% DCI-P3 color gamut, a color accuracy of ΔE≈1.5, and supports multiple HDR standards (HDR10+, HDR10, HLG). It can also decode and pass HDR10+ content.

The television is powered by a MediaTek MT9652 chipset. This SoC consists of a quad-core ARM Cortex-A73 CPU and an ARM Mali-G52 MC1 GPU.

As for software, it runs ColorOS TV 2.0 with support for leading streaming platforms in China, Xiaobu (Breeno) voice assistant via far-field microphones, NFC-enabled remote control for quick pairing with OPPO smartphones, Tencent START cloud gaming, O Relax, and more.

On the connectivity front, the television arrives with dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, 3 x HDMI 2.1 (one of them is eARC compatible), 2 x USB 2.0, 3-in-1 AV, digital audio port (optical), DTMB, and Ethernet.

Last but not least, television features a 2-unit speaker system with a maximum output of 30W and Dolby Audio support. It also has support for the 1080p (FHD) external webcam accessory for TV sold by OPPO.

OPPO Smart TV K9 75” Price and Availability

The OPPO Smart TV K9 75” is priced at ¥5,799 ($898) in China. But as part of the launch offer, the company is providing a ¥300 ($47) discount. Hence, customers can purchase the television for ¥5,499 ($851).

Additionally, OPPO is also giving away a webcam worth ¥399 ($62) and Tencent streaming subscription as freebies.

The television is already up for pre-order in the country and will go on sale for the first time on September 30.

Just like the previous models in the lineup, we don’t think this TV will make its way to international markets.
