    This comparison seems a bit off, those upscaling results could be influenced by Contrast Enhancer. Could you confirm that if you set your settings to FMM settings (CE Off CT Warm 2 CS Auto) do you get the same differences in upscaling, etc...?

    • @TECHOSAUR
      @TECHOSAUR  5 місяців тому +8

      I used the same settings on both TVs. If the QN90D has more options, such as the color booster and noise reduction high option (which aren't available/different on the QN90C), I turned them off to match the exact settings of the QN90C. I set the contrast enhancer to high, color tone to standard, and color space to native on both of them.
      I know it's hard to believe. 720p on 4K in this quality is unlike anything I've seen too.
      After spending more time with it playing Nintendo Switch, I can tell the game doesn't feel like 1080p; it looks more crisp.
      The QN90C still does great upscaling, but Samsung has advertised their NQ4 AI GEN 2 with better upscaling. Based on what I can tell, it seems like an improvement.
      Also, I just wanted to say that I buy them out of my own pocket and have no ties or sponsorships with Samsung. I share all as a user

      @@TECHOSAUR Good to know, yeah it's hard to believe it's really improved that much. 😀 I have the 43" QN90B and I remember when using CE High I think it over sharpened the picture from memory and I really didn't like it so used Low or Off. I was just wondering if you set CE to Off does that sharpening go away and they are much closer for upscaling quality or is it the same? It could be the new AI processor or it could be that CE High works differently on each model maybe too or at least contributes a little to the stark differences seen?

    Do you still have QN90C? If yes it would be good to revisit the review because QN90C got some of the new features from QN90D via firmware update. It now has HDR10+ Gaming and Game HDR, basic and advanced settings like QN90D and white balance isn't greenish and bluish anymore but very similar to QN90D. There is almost no difference between them anymore, except for the very improved upscaling on QN90D

      HDR between the QN90C and the QN90D is a bit noticeable, not a major difference, but you can see that the panel seems to have been a bit upgraded, giving better highlights and color tone. That's the most I've noticed. Also, local dimming has been improved, which helps in showing better HDR quality
      Just viewing angled is bad on both the QN90C and QN90D. LG OLED TVs do better in this.

      Mine also went completely white all of a sudden, and even if I turn it off or change the input to a different device, it doesn't get fixed. The only way to fix it was to unplug the TV, wait a bit, and then plug it back in. I'm not sure what the cause is, but I haven't seen it again since some software updates. This happened with my QN90D.
      If any of this happens again, ask Samsung for technical assistance; don't dismiss the 1-year warranty.

      Even when I load old movies, etc., I forget they're old, they just look like pretty remastered versions. Also, speakong of remastering, make sure to use auto HDR remastering, which gives better highlights and shadows.

      Yes, that's exactly how I use it. Last year, I had the QN90C 43".
      This weekend, I was preparing for the Elden Ring DLC, so I tried HDR, etc. In my humble opinion, it's by far the best display I've had, especially. I love that the color tone is so much better calibrated. In the past, I always felt displays were greenish when I put them on standard, so I had to put them always on cold to feel they were more white. This one is okay on standard. It has good brightness, color vividness, and blacks, almost as deep as OLED. Of course, it may not be for everyone. I've read from someone who got it and didn't like it, but I would say for PC gaming, especially non-competitive (since it doesn't have a higher refresh rate than 144hz), it's better for non-competitive gaming.
      local dimming is an improvement over QN90C, which I had last year, as well as processor

      It depends on what you mainly use it for. If you care about lower-resolution upscaling, I've seen a difference between the two - in fact, a big one in upscaling quality. Also, the local dimming algorithm seems more responsive because of a better chip. All things that fall within image processing are better on the QN90D due to a newer generation.
      But the panels on mine were similar, as they're VA. But I think at a big size, it's not VA but ADS. I don't have big-size models, but if I were to choose, I would pick the QN90D
      On mine I can see better factory calibration for color gamut compared to QN90C, HDR is truly magical, and I love playing a lot on it.

    The qn90c in 43" that you have, doesn't have the antireflection coating-ADS panel as the 55" and up qn90c's have, thus the viewing angle is not that good as the bigger sizes.
    I haven't found any details about 43" qn90D panel of 2024, whether the antireflection coating is there or not. Can you tell if the viewing angle of your 43 qn90D are better than the 43qn90c? Did they improve it from last years qn90c? Couldn't find an answer in your video. Thank you!

    • @TECHOSAUR
      @TECHOSAUR  4 місяці тому +2

      I don't have any larger than the 43-inch for the QN90C, but looking at the QN90C Samsung page when you get to the anti-reflection feature, there are no notes saying that the 55-inch and up have it only. Like when you check other features, it should list which ones have it, as in the case of the anti-coating. It doesn't state that, therefore I believe that the QN90C 43-inch does indeed have it as well. Besides, the QN90D 43-inch has the exact display coating; it's anti-reflective to me.
      The viewing angles are the same, and it's a VA panel for both. I haven't seen any difference, but the improvements for me lie in the color representation and color tone. The QN90D has significant positive points in giving overall improved highlights and real white color tone. The QN90C, at least mine, had a bluish tone even when I set the option to default standard.

    • @Sano_veroli

      @@TECHOSAUR thank you for your thorough explanation. I was very mistaken. The viewing angle difference between the qn90c of 43, 50" versus the 55" and bigger, lays in another technology named "ultra viewing agnles" which they implemented within the antireflective coats of the bigger ones.
      The qn90c tv's have 2 different panels as I noted before , VA for the smaller and ADS for the bigger. Surprisingly , I found info stating that the new qn90d's are VA panels regardless the size and the viewing agnles are still unfortunate (the latter one is according to another video of yours reviewing the qn90d 43"). So sad that nowadays TV companies neglect their smaller sized screens.

      No, same as the QN90C, a VA panel, and colors really shift and get washed out if you start to look at it from an angle. Also, there is blooming.
      I usually face it straight forward since I use it as a personal desk TV/monitor, so I believe if you plan to put it at an angle, it's a bad idea; it will ruin the good image quality you can get when you face it straightly.

      I had the QN90C 43", and while there are some notable improvements with the QN90D, it really comes down to personal experience. The QN90C had a slightly colder color tone, which manual required calibration and i still didn't get it right due to not having screen calibration tools , the QN90D came way better factory-calibrated-setting the color to standard gives an accurate white tone right out of the box. Local dimming has also improved, not in terms of zones quantity but in response due to a better processor, and low-resolution upscaling has seen noticeable enhancement
      issues like panel latency and viewing angles remain. If you're happy with your QN90C, it might be worth waiting until the 2025 models. However, if you find a good deal on the QN90D and can trade or sell your current model without much loss, it could be worth considering. That's what I did!

      è vero, strano, entrambi settati con una tonalità di colore Standard e non avevo mai realizzato che fosse troppo blu finché non li ho messi insieme 😅

    You don't mention that QN90D doesn't support ATSC 3.0, BIG NEGATIVE.

      @@SLICK8116 I do agree that the ATSC 3.0 rollout has been disappointing. There are only 2 ATSC 3.0 channels in my area but the picture quality is superb. To me it seems like a lot of people are cutting the cord and putting up antennas.
