Voice remote

Solar

The Q60A's remote uses a solar panel to recharge its batteries. You can also charge it via USB.

Svelte

One of the biggest differences between the Q60A and other lower-end LCDs is an extremely thin design.

The main streaming interface, which overlays over what you're watching, is a little more subdued compared to some competitors.
