AT the beginning of the video, you discussed blooming. Yes, the actual area of blooming around the white boxes was less on the Samsung, but it raised the black level of the entire screen when two boxes were on the screen. The Sony's bloom around the boxes was larger, but the screen stayed black pass the blooming area. I'd rather have that then have the black level of the entire screen raise up like on the Samsung.
To my uncalibrated eyes, the Sony has an unpleasant greenish hue, especially in flesh tones. See at 6:50 and 8:45. But I prefer the local dimming management on the Sony--even if it blooms more, it's less prone to black crush.
You plebs are comparing TV image quality in a highly compressed UA-cam video, recorded with a camera, that is on your own screens, which are likely uncalibrated. It's not even remotely close to how these TV's will look in person. It's utterly meaningless to compare, Y O U M O R O N S.

@@Tomiply i think it might be mature enough to be worth the risk. i just bought my first oled. the quality disparity is so large i don't think i can ever go back to lcd. i noticed a bunch of burn in mitigation measures built in. if my 2010 1080p 50' plasma is anything to go by (remember those? they used to get burn in too. mine only gets temporary burn in, no permanent damage after 10 years of moderate to heavy use), i should be safe for a while
I just purchased a Sony XH95H and this video confirmed my ethos on Sony having the "better" picture quality for my avid movie watching experience. Very informative comparison video. Thank you.
Love your content Vincent - keep it up! Just wanted to recommend something - when pointing to each TV at the begining, mention them from the audience's perspective (ie "on *your* right is the...) rather than from your perspective 😉 Thanks as always Vincent!
I used to own the classic SONY XE9005/XE900. For a good 2 years! Then i recently purchased my first ever OLED! LG C9. 55inch £1200. & WOW!!! Honestly this C9 Beats it, especially in Gaming!! Its so smooth! I've had this C9 calibrated! & its perfect for my viewing. Colours are so realistic! Even the Motion/Upscaling, is on par with my old Sony! & that's the truth! Anyways, as you can see, I'm really enjoying it so far. 👍
@@RobertK1993 lmao fanboy, the alpha gen 3 is even better. Tested by professionals and proven already fanboy!!! Wait until the lg cx oled wins the tv shootout again for the 5th time!!
Predator nope LG is so bad I had a XE93 now a LG C8 77, I’m trying to sell it and buy a Sony again i feel super sad for LG fans who thinks they have the best TV because they haven’t and u can only see that in real life not by any measurements or rtings reviews...
I'm also wanting one with component input rather than composite. A lot of older gaming machines that I use with my current, rather not have multiple TV's to use them.
Leopold There are a couple of reasons for this. The big one is that HDMI 2.1 devices (besides a handful of 2019/2020 TVs) still aren’t on the market. 4K120 just isn’t something that will be mainstream in the near future. By the time 4K120 is anywhere close to being mainstream people will be buying a new 2025/2026 TV with built-in ATSC 3.0 tuners. It will only be useful for high-end PC gamers when the 3080ti and newer are available and that’s only if the 3080ti has 2.1. Most people don’t have $1200 GPUs and they never will. It’s easy for Sony to save money since it really doesn’t affect the majority of buyers. The most important feature from 2.1 for TVs/home theater use is eARC and 2.1 isn’t needed to implement it.
Vincent, just a quick thank you for your expertise. I have had my 65 LG C9 since Thursday. I have never seen a picture like it, totally exotic. Coming from a Samsung 60 H7000 HD TV which has been faultless, I was conflicted about which to choose. The LG C9 or a Samsung Q90R. I decided to roll the dice and see what the fuss was about and hope burn is doesn't become an issue. Regards Steve Mean to add, a big thank you to Jason of Richer Sounds Maidstone for his patient, excellent customer service.
Not sure it means much to you but I think you made the right choice overall mate. C9 is a fantastic set. Can I ask what the Richer Sounds employee said were the strengths (or weaknesses) of the two sets?
@@Kuranghi Hi there, RE: Richer Sounds, Samsung good for bright rooms, vibrant colours and for me, I have a lot of other Samsung products, phone, tablet, soundbar etc so may be an easy choice. LG, better, richer picture, more future proof ( important to me, no sooner than I buy something it's being replaced with something else!) Unlikely but potential burn in. My experience since I set it up Thursday, I've never seen tv like it. It's ok seeing the demos in store but living with it is totally different. Coming from HD LCD to OLED 4K is nothing short of sensational. Having so many connected services is brilliant. To anyone I say, watch some of the new Lion King movie on one if you need convincing.
@@steveb4012 And they were right as I have the Q90R in the living room so there's a bit of light most of the time and gets used the most but I have the c9 OLED in the bedroom which is just awesome at night and doesn't get used nowhere near as much so I don't have to worry too much about burning but it's so easy on the eyes. You have to practical when choosing either technology as they both come with their pros and cons ✌️
@@steveb4012 On your OLED TV, try watching the 4K versions of Prometheus, Alita: Battle Angel, Pacific Rim (1st one), Godzilla: King Of The Monsters, Life Of Pi, Interstellar, Mad Max: Fury Road, etc.
I'm glad I found this channel! He does an excellent job. I was getting really frustrated watching other channels but now after watching this channel I know exactly what tv I want and most importantly, I know why !!
@@omairbinenam6337 I don't think anyone is willingly going to play games on a CRT except for Smash players or playing legacy consoles. You can be better than your current competition though. Judging by this video the input lag isn't upp to par with other good gaming TVs. Having much lower input lag, 120Hz at 4k with VRR, Freesync and G-sync while still maintaining good picture quality and good HDR. Pretty much everyone is looking at LG CX models for gaming right now. Not having those eyes looking at a Sony set is a massive missed opportunity for their PS5 launch. I do hope that the Sony A9 48" OLED is on par with the LG CX 48" and priced competitively.
It's just too niche a market. Not a lot of people will specifically buy a TV just to play games or even care that much about a few milliseconds input lag anyway.
What wrong with Digital Trends? The guy I see doing the video reviews on youtube seems to be very fair and honest about all brands - which basically means he doesnt say Samsungs being the best or that LG OLEDs are the best OLEDs in every way (which leads to: "don't bother with Pana/Sony because its not worth the extra money")
@@Kuranghi Digital Trends is a mainstream channel for the average consumer. It's not a in-depth enthusiast channel like HDTVTest or FOMO on Tech. Not saying that channel is absolute TRASH but it's not great either.
The Samsung TV has crisper picture quality, whereas the Sony TV has amazing color that seems a little more realistic to the eye. What a hard choice to make, I would need more time to test both TV's in order to make a wise choice...
@SecretCommie Color volume and color accuracy are two completely different things. Also, Samsung has a bad rep of following their own EOTF curve. P.s. Sony Z9G can do 3,900 nits. I wouldn't be so quick to praise QLED TVs from Samsung.
Hey Vincent, for a while I've been wondering if my Samsung Q7FN was broken, but now you answered me. Their game mode definitely reduces image quality and elevates blacks, I see the exact same results as you, even though they're 2 years apart. More than that, Samsung's backlight fluctuations can be really bothering when playing games. It happened on Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA V mostly at night. I initially thought it could a game engine issue, but now I am almost sure it is Samsung algorithm messing up the backlight level. It tries to be smart and keep the picture contrast on optimized levels, but in my experience it never "decides" for low or high backlight and ends up being a complete mess.
Have you seen Crystal LED? Its not for consumers yet, its super expensive commercial stuff but its cool to read about, they had to make a camera system just to align the panels becuase they are made of small panels all "stitched" together. It used to be called CLEDIS.
At this point, we are REAAAAALLLY nitpicking. Watching this video shows that there aren't really big differences for us average users. Whatever tv you buy is going to look good as long as you're not sitting them next to each other. Bottomline is, buy whatever fits your budget. This is all just unneccessary nitpicking that only "studios" care about.
You can't judge it based on the video you can only listen to what VT says about his observations. If you see the sets side by side in real life you can easily see the difference in depth, sharpness, gradation and especially motion interpolation [Its not for me but general consumers usually prefer it in my experience]. I used to stare at these sets side by side all day for my job, I only care about the truth like Vincent, I hate fanboys lol.
some people can pick out minute details and inaccuracies without comparing, some are very bothered with display artifacts, some need specific features for specific purposes, some do amateur color/text/art work, some do all of them. this is why the high-end TV market and calibration services exist. surely all of this is unnecessary when you just want something that puts out a picture, but don't yell "tHis Is UNNecESsary" just because you couldn't be bothered.
I just recently got the Sony x900e. I absolutely love the clarity and brightness of the TV. But, I'm very disappointed in the motion blur it has. The only way to fully get rid of motion blur is to crank up the motion settings all the way. And I really hate that sope opera effect. I see here that's its still the same with this Sony. You can see it as clear as day with the windmills, and the fast movement of the birds head. Sonys picture is definitely superior. I just wish the motion blur was better.
@@oldb3139 I'm wondering if I got a bad TV. I replaced a 55 1080p sony TV with the 900e and my old Sony is superior to this new one except for the 4k picture.. I do have it set to standard. That one seems to work best, and I have tried playing with every setting to help with the motion blur and shadowing, but it's still noticeable. The only way to get rid of the shadowing is to set it to smooth, but then I get lots of artifacting and that soap opera effict ,which I hate. I also have read in forms, that lots of other people have it too. They say that people like me have a really keen eye to seeing the blur, but to others, it doesn't bother them.
Motion blur is better that constant stuttering. My LG B7 OLED stutters like crazy on 24p content because the image persistence is so low. It’s the reason I’m looking to get a LED TV next time, along with the brightness being too low. Iconically the fix in my case is also to use the soap opera filter on lower settings… no thanks :)
Sony typically is the Best in the Biz on motion Processing which is why I got the X950G75....... rarely do I deviate from having only the Smoothness to +1 and Cinemotion off... ( i rarely use Cinemotion at all) Not sure about your 900e as far as the Motion controls if they are similar or different.. but I would imagine playing around with different combinations of motion settings to diminishgh the SOE.. Good Luck
Is the motion handler on Sony so different from Samsung? Every time that I see a windmill spinning, the Sony gets a way more blur than Samsung. Is that correct or it might have some influence from the recording?
Sony still remain the best in any angle nothing to compare with Sony in sound quality pictures qualities and quality standards product. I believe in Sony trusted
Yes LG C9 and CX can’t outperform A9G/AG9 in terms of non gaming features once Sony brings out new A9H Master Series with HDMI 2.1 in few months new Z9H 4K FLAD game over LG.
@@ghostoftsushima5965 Why because hes 100% correct, LG oleds are not better than Sonys and Samsung cant even touch Sony LED, and yes I've had LG oled and Samsung Qled, gaming is only better were input lag is concerned, Sony on the other hand keep picture quality at chroma 4.4.4 whilst still at a undecernable difference from the mainstream shite from LG and Samsung.
In the wind turbine scene I noticed ghosting (double image) on the Sony side. That moving blade was leaving a "trail" behind it not so the Samsung. Same with the water pump windblades @ 6:58, the blades on Sony left a small ghost trail as they moved.
@@RobertK1993 If only XH9505 has HDMI 2.1... I can wait one more year :) OLED not for me because I play games and use tv as monitor for PC. Cult of the OLED is so funny when I read forums :D
This is what I call true review. I wish other reviewers especially audio/hifi reviewers will do and stop the pseudo reviews that they have been offering us. keep up the good work!
I love my LG OLED TV but I must say that LG does not upscale lower content well. I noticed that when I watch a regular Full HD blu ray it looks really bad. Whereas at my friend's house, he has a sony 4K LED tv and everything looks sharp, even basic 720p files.
That is so so true. My mum has the lg c9 and my friend the 900h Sony and I amen to say an old tiger woods UA-cam clip looked 100 times better on the Sony which was a shock as it’s mid range and the lg is top.
It is very hard for consumer to tell the difference in term of picture quality because very few ppl can compare them side by side at home. Am I the only one cares more about controls? How fast it response to control? How well it work with apple tv? How reliable it works with external speaker? What feature it has for daily use? I thinks those are the differences that consumer can tell everyday without have multiple of them comparing side by side. And I think those are more important factors that will affect the user's experience and those are more likely to be the key factor when I choose a TV among these brands. And I assure you even the newest top of line TVs have space to improve in those aspects. So please, spend some time go over those factors.
As usual a great comparison test. Thanks to this video I just purchased a Sony 55 HX90 for my main bedroom. In our living room we have a Samsung 85 inches that i really love but the natural colours of the Sony and the detail retrieval in dark areas that this TV is spot on at is really better than the Samsung. As can be seen watching the video. Attention must be given to the settings in the Sony otherwise some artifact might emerge with deep black areas.
I am confused between the son 900h and the Samsung frame 2020. I just want the colors to pop as much as possible. Do you think the sony can get as vivid as the Samsung? Also can the Samsung look as good as the sony on Netflix as it doesn't have Dolby vision?
I would wait till closer the time the console are released. Sony I think have some updating to do on their TVs and the Samsung TVs are worse than last years. They will also be dirt cheap in 4 months time or so...
The Q80T has dreadful blooming when in game mode because they turn down the local dimming to achieve better response time. The Sony wins by default. Not even close. Sure, the Samsung has very slightly faster response times but the Sony is still good and does it without completely ruining image quality.
Samsung Qleds have Freesync, its amazing for gaming with variable refresh rate. Couldn't find anything on the Sony site about supporting VRR in gaming. Based on that alone, Qled wins.
What’s interesting is that Samsung’s more aggressive local dimming must cut into QLED greater color luminance. Both these sets are lackluster for the money though. Seems like LEDs are a worse value this year, now that they’re pushing 8k. While OLED will never have less dimming zones while going down in price, LEDs can cut corners lol.
10:04 On my Q8FN it is possible to fix the de-saturation problem. I can confirm with my Q8FN that Game Mode is pretty drastically de-saturated, but then I can also enable "Contrast Enhancer" to raise HDR brightness to practically match Movie Mode. Of course I'm fairly certain that "Contrast Enhancer" throws any hope of using a calibrated image out the window, and Game Mode still has the issues with black crush, but I believe Samsung's contrast problems in Game Mode are mostly a firmware calibration issue and not an actual processing limitation. Excluding the Black Crush problem, blooming control behaves identically in Game Mode and Movie Mode.
@@RobertK1993 If you dont play games, and like tv or movies, and compressed vids, just buy sony. I have a lg cx oled, but this feature is the only feature, that is slightly better on a sony oled, i admit. Frame rates are more fluid. I forgot, sound is better too.
At 0:17 you can easily guess the TV at the right is Sony. The colour reproduction is so much better and natural. 10 years ago my parents had bought a Sony over a Samsung for the same reason. Its somewhat surprising even after a decade, the difference is still so apparent considering how massively Samsung invests in making screens.
This was a great upload to help me decide which LED TV I should buy. Currently in the market for both an OLED and LED with the OLED dedicated (more or less) to cinema viewing and the LED for a daily driver. Had made up my mind on the OLED and was looking for information on the LED. Thanks for the helping hand, mate! 👍
I'm looking forward to the XH90 being released as that's the one I have my eye on. Cheaper than the xh95 but hopefully more future proof with a better SOC and HDMI 2.1 ports. The XH90 only has the X1 vs the X1 Ultimate in the xh95 and no X-wide angle layer however I am upgrading from an XE85 which also only has the X1 and no X-wide angle either and that is a great TV, plus I keep my XE85 in game mode anyway as all my stuff goes into a single HDMI port from an AV receiver so all the fancy up-scaling and motion tech is disabled for me anyway. From researching the differences between the X1/Extreme/Ultimate are only minor to the untrained eye anyway. For me the upgrade to the XH90 is for the FALD backlight and the higher HDR brightness it brings otherwise I am very happy with the XE85 and that will become my bedroom gaming TV. From reading a translated Chinese review the XH90 does have less backlight zones than the XH95 but they also only max out at around 850 nits compared to 1200 on the XH95 so whilst less zones might mean more blooming the lower peak brightness might help in that respect too, either way for me personally it is still a massive HDR upgrade as my XE85 can only hit around 450nits and I find that looks amazing anyway. Was it crap that Sony didn't put HDMI 2.1 in all their 2020 TV's? Yup, is it the end of the world? Nope as the XH90 I believe is the TV they are aiming at gamers and right now gamers are the only ones who will primarily benefit from HDMI 2.1 other than eARC which all the 2020 TV's support anyway. Reviews of the XH80 which also has the same X1 processor as the XH90 give that thing a sub 10ms input lag measurement in game mode vs the 20ms of the XH95 with its X1 ultimate so hopefully the XH90 with its standard X1 is closer to the XH80's input lag time and with its HDMI 2.1 features and FALD backlight will be the TV of choice for the new Xbox and PS5
I can't find a confirmation yet but I think they've just renamed the "X1 Extreme" to just "X1" in 2020, thats the only thing that makes sense just now unless the XH90 is the 85 series upgraded to FALD from Edge-lit, with the "old" X1 you have in your XE85, in that case I think they will release an XH92/93/94 in September, bringing back the X1 Extreme. I'm leaning more towards the former rather than the latter since even the XH80 has "X1" this year, so maybe XH80/XH85 is the old X1 and XH90 has the new X1/rebranded X1E. Its bloody confusing...
@@Kuranghi From what I have been reading the XH90 is intended to be the replacement for the older 85 series so it appears the XH90 is going to perform as good as the old 85's but with FALD. So it will be XH70 as the base model XH80(edge lit) XH90(FALD) as the Midrange and the XH95 as the top of the range for the consumer (non master series) LCD's this year.
@@Stuey3D After this video I've changed my mind, given that the XH95 has 48 zones, I think that means the XH90 will have less or the same number of zones and there will be an XH96/97/98 in September with 60+ zones. I think I'm just in denial that 4K LCD is dying though... lol Have you ever seen a ZD9?
@@Kuranghi Not seen any of the master series in person to be honest. I am hoping the XH90 reviews well as it seems to be the one I am gravitating towards this year, I'm currently torn between the XG95 the XH90 & XH95 It has to be FALD though. For me personally this will be the last TV I buy for a few years my old Samsung went 9 years before an upgrade and I hope I get nearly the same out of whatever TV I buy this year the XE85 will finally replace the Samsung which was relegated to the bedroom a few years ago. Hopefully when I am due to upgrade again micro LED will be mainstream and competitively priced, as you'll get all the benefits of OLED with extra brightness and no risk of burn in. 8K will no doubt be mainstream by then although I see 8K as a pointless upgrade, hell even 4K over 1080p isnt a huge noticeable difference at normal viewing distances for me HDR was the big upgrade this generation HDR is AMAZING!
Did anyone get the xh90 yet. I think that is the tv for me. With ps5 announcements on Thursday. Does anyone have advice for a bright room? Would xh90 or 95 be better?
Another great video! This really shows what features are important in each display depending on the source and use. For myself I would go for the Sony given it is more accurate for movie viewing. But for a gamer it's clear the Samsung is a better choice. Thanks again for the video!

To me, the Sony consistently has a more accurate color rendering, often very noticeably.
To my uncalibrated eyes, the Sony has an unpleasant greenish hue, especially in flesh tones. See at 6:50 and 8:45. But I prefer the local dimming management on the Sony--even if it blooms more, it's less prone to black crush.

I just purchased a Sony XH95H and this video confirmed my ethos on Sony having the "better" picture quality for my avid movie watching experience. Very informative comparison video. Thank you.
How about for movies or connect laptop and play movie
Love your content Vincent - keep it up!
Just wanted to recommend something - when pointing to each TV at the begining, mention them from the audience's perspective (ie "on *your* right is the...) rather than from your perspective 😉

Amazing comparison, just waiting for XH90 for HDMI 2.1.
@Leopold Yup. For PS5 + probably future Big Navi graphics card with HDMI 2.1.
Infuriating how the X950H doesn't have HDMI 2.1 or VRR. C'mon, Sony.
I'm also wanting one with component input rather than composite. A lot of older gaming machines that I use with my current, rather not have multiple TV's to use them.
Buy a 900H save money for the 500 dollar console
supersonicsjm just get an OSSC for your component YPbPr game consoles
Leopold There are a couple of reasons for this. The big one is that HDMI 2.1 devices (besides a handful of 2019/2020 TVs) still aren’t on the market.
4K120 just isn’t something that will be mainstream in the near future. By the time 4K120 is anywhere close to being mainstream people will be buying a new 2025/2026 TV with built-in ATSC 3.0 tuners.
It will only be useful for high-end PC gamers when the 3080ti and newer are available and that’s only if the 3080ti has 2.1. Most people don’t have $1200 GPUs and they never will. It’s easy for Sony to save money since it really doesn’t affect the majority of buyers.
The most important feature from 2.1 for TVs/home theater use is eARC and 2.1 isn’t needed to implement it.
But it does. Check the spec sheets from Sony on both the 900H and 950H you see that they both have an HDMI 2.1 input with VRR?
CANT WAIT for you to get a LG CX and review it!
i really liked the part where you showed the reference hdr vs the tvs you should do that more often in tv reviews
The side by side comparison was just what I was looking for, excellent video.
Which one is better?
Vincent, just a quick thank you for your expertise. I have had my 65 LG C9 since Thursday. I have never seen a picture like it, totally exotic. Coming from a Samsung 60 H7000 HD TV which has been faultless, I was conflicted about which to choose. The LG C9 or a Samsung Q90R. I decided to roll the dice and see what the fuss was about and hope burn is doesn't become an issue.
Regards
Steve
Mean to add, a big thank you to Jason of Richer Sounds Maidstone for his patient, excellent customer service.
You've chosen correct. Colours on oleds are sublime due to the zero black levels. I've had a C8 for two years with no problems with gaming whatsoever
Not sure it means much to you but I think you made the right choice overall mate. C9 is a fantastic set. Can I ask what the Richer Sounds employee said were the strengths (or weaknesses) of the two sets?
@@Kuranghi Hi there, RE: Richer Sounds, Samsung good for bright rooms, vibrant colours and for me, I have a lot of other Samsung products, phone, tablet, soundbar etc so may be an easy choice. LG, better, richer picture, more future proof ( important to me, no sooner than I buy something it's being replaced with something else!) Unlikely but potential burn in. My experience since I set it up Thursday, I've never seen tv like it. It's ok seeing the demos in store but living with it is totally different. Coming from HD LCD to OLED 4K is nothing short of sensational. Having so many connected services is brilliant. To anyone I say, watch some of the new Lion King movie on one if you need convincing.
@@steveb4012 And they were right as I have the Q90R in the living room so there's a bit of light most of the time and gets used the most but I have the c9 OLED in the bedroom which is just awesome at night and doesn't get used nowhere near as much so I don't have to worry too much about burning but it's so easy on the eyes.
You have to practical when choosing either technology as they both come with their pros and cons ✌️

Which one will be ur pick
I'm baffled that Sony don't seize the opportunity to have the best gaming TVs for their PS5 launch.
refresh rate is not up to mark, and i guess never will be with non crt monitors. *not a gamer
@@omairbinenam6337 I don't think anyone is willingly going to play games on a CRT except for Smash players or playing legacy consoles. You can be better than your current competition though. Judging by this video the input lag isn't upp to par with other good gaming TVs. Having much lower input lag, 120Hz at 4k with VRR, Freesync and G-sync while still maintaining good picture quality and good HDR. Pretty much everyone is looking at LG CX models for gaming right now. Not having those eyes looking at a Sony set is a massive missed opportunity for their PS5 launch.
I do hope that the Sony A9 48" OLED is on par with the LG CX 48" and priced competitively.
It's just too niche a market. Not a lot of people will specifically buy a TV just to play games or even care that much about a few milliseconds input lag anyway.
Maybe because they know that ps5 wont run 4k/120fps?
The UE5 demo was 1440p 30fps...
@@GoldRaion HDMI 2.1 is the best choice for games with VRR. It also works between 30 and 60 fps.

BEST TV REVIEWER IN EXISTENCE!
*QUANTUM TV and Digital Trends have left the chat*
What wrong with Digital Trends? The guy I see doing the video reviews on youtube seems to be very fair and honest about all brands - which basically means he doesnt say Samsungs being the best or that LG OLEDs are the best OLEDs in every way (which leads to: "don't bother with Pana/Sony because its not worth the extra money")
@@Kuranghi Digital Trends is a mainstream channel for the average consumer. It's not a in-depth enthusiast channel like HDTVTest or FOMO on Tech.
Not saying that channel is absolute TRASH but it's not great either.
Casual Samsung owners complain to calibration professional that his review of the Samsung must be wrong. LUL.
The Samsung TV has crisper picture quality, whereas the Sony TV has amazing color that seems a little more realistic to the eye. What a hard choice to make, I would need more time to test both TV's in order to make a wise choice...
Sony has X reality so it is better than Samsung!

My favorite TV reviewer! Great content, detail and unexpected laugh every time! Thanks!
Please compare the Sony XH95 and the XH90!
Hey Vincent, for a while I've been wondering if my Samsung Q7FN was broken, but now you answered me. Their game mode definitely reduces image quality and elevates blacks, I see the exact same results as you, even though they're 2 years apart. More than that, Samsung's backlight fluctuations can be really bothering when playing games. It happened on Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA V mostly at night. I initially thought it could a game engine issue, but now I am almost sure it is Samsung algorithm messing up the backlight level. It tries to be smart and keep the picture contrast on optimized levels, but in my experience it never "decides" for low or high backlight and ends up being a complete mess.
I just bought the Samsung q80t 75 (6-3-21)
Then I traded it in for a Sony 950h (6-7-21)
Best decision ever made
Are you happy with the Sony Xh95? Is there a big difference in quality?
What an amazing video. Thank you very much. That's like the most mainstream high end category.
I rate your content highly keep it up👌🏾
Just sitting here waiting for Sony’s version of micro led.
Have you seen Crystal LED? Its not for consumers yet, its super expensive commercial stuff but its cool to read about, they had to make a camera system just to align the panels becuase they are made of small panels all "stitched" together. It used to be called CLEDIS.
Ben Squire Ya, seen that. Just have to wait for the more consumer friendly version.

Awesome review! Very informative. Thank you
At this point, we are REAAAAALLLY nitpicking. Watching this video shows that there aren't really big differences for us average users. Whatever tv you buy is going to look good as long as you're not sitting them next to each other. Bottomline is, buy whatever fits your budget. This is all just unneccessary nitpicking that only "studios" care about.
You can't judge it based on the video you can only listen to what VT says about his observations. If you see the sets side by side in real life you can easily see the difference in depth, sharpness, gradation and especially motion interpolation [Its not for me but general consumers usually prefer it in my experience]. I used to stare at these sets side by side all day for my job, I only care about the truth like Vincent, I hate fanboys lol.
Yeah, buy whatever fits your budget when both tvs are at the same price.
some people can pick out minute details and inaccuracies without comparing, some are very bothered with display artifacts, some need specific features for specific purposes, some do amateur color/text/art work, some do all of them. this is why the high-end TV market and calibration services exist. surely all of this is unnecessary when you just want something that puts out a picture, but don't yell "tHis Is UNNecESsary" just because you couldn't be bothered.
I just recently got the Sony x900e. I absolutely love the clarity and brightness of the TV. But, I'm very disappointed in the motion blur it has. The only way to fully get rid of motion blur is to crank up the motion settings all the way. And I really hate that sope opera effect. I see here that's its still the same with this Sony. You can see it as clear as day with the windmills, and the fast movement of the birds head. Sonys picture is definitely superior. I just wish the motion blur was better.
You should ve gotten the XF90 there are cheap deals now. Sony's motionflow is the best in the market even at the time when the XE90 came out.
@@oldb3139 I'm wondering if I got a bad TV. I replaced a 55 1080p sony TV with the 900e and my old Sony is superior to this new one except for the 4k picture.. I do have it set to standard. That one seems to work best, and I have tried playing with every setting to help with the motion blur and shadowing, but it's still noticeable. The only way to get rid of the shadowing is to set it to smooth, but then I get lots of artifacting and that soap opera effict ,which I hate.
I also have read in forms, that lots of other people have it too. They say that people like me have a really keen eye to seeing the blur, but to others, it doesn't bother them.
Motion blur is better that constant stuttering. My LG B7 OLED stutters like crazy on 24p content because the image persistence is so low. It’s the reason I’m looking to get a LED TV next time, along with the brightness being too low. Iconically the fix in my case is also to use the soap opera filter on lower settings… no thanks :)
Sony typically is the Best in the Biz on motion Processing which is why I got the X950G75....... rarely do I deviate from having only the Smoothness to +1 and Cinemotion off... ( i rarely use Cinemotion at all) Not sure about your 900e as far as the Motion controls if they are similar or different.. but I would imagine playing around with different combinations of motion settings to diminishgh the SOE.. Good Luck
Please do a review of the Samsung Q90T/Q95T.
Is the motion handler on Sony so different from Samsung? Every time that I see a windmill spinning, the Sony gets a way more blur than Samsung. Is that correct or it might have some influence from the recording?
It's due to the different frame rate synchronisation between the LCD's backlight and our camera settings.
@@hdtvtest Thank you for the information.
And what ever u are watching it on....

There’s No beat To Sony Man ! 🔝
I love my LG OLED TV but I must say that LG does not upscale lower content well. I noticed that when I watch a regular Full HD blu ray it looks really bad. Whereas at my friend's house, he has a sony 4K LED tv and everything looks sharp, even basic 720p files.
Now I want a Sony OLED for their picture processing
The 2020 LG 8K OLEDs and NanoCell LCDs with AI and deep learning upscaling produces very good upscaling of dvds, blu rays to 8K resolution.
That is so so true. My mum has the lg c9 and my friend the 900h Sony and I amen to say an old tiger woods UA-cam clip looked 100 times better on the Sony which was a shock as it’s mid range and the lg is top.
Qled seems to be just a pretty name to cost more for something that doesn't even make that much difference.

DISGUSTING lol You must have been in pain until OLED came along. What sort of sets have you owned over the years?
Burn-in too. 3 years is a short lifetime for such an expensive tv...
It is very hard for consumer to tell the difference in term of picture quality because very few ppl can compare them side by side at home. Am I the only one cares more about controls? How fast it response to control? How well it work with apple tv? How reliable it works with external speaker? What feature it has for daily use? I thinks those are the differences that consumer can tell everyday without have multiple of them comparing side by side. And I think those are more important factors that will affect the user's experience and those are more likely to be the key factor when I choose a TV among these brands. And I assure you even the newest top of line TVs have space to improve in those aspects. So please, spend some time go over those factors.
Can you make a winner, loser or draw in your comparisons, or can you leave a text note under the videos?

As usual a great comparison test. Thanks to this video I just purchased a Sony 55 HX90 for my main bedroom. In our living room we have a Samsung 85 inches that i really love but the natural colours of the Sony and the detail retrieval in dark areas that this TV is spot on at is really better than the Samsung. As can be seen watching the video. Attention must be given to the settings in the Sony otherwise some artifact might emerge with deep black areas.
I am confused between the son 900h and the Samsung frame 2020. I just want the colors to pop as much as possible. Do you think the sony can get as vivid as the Samsung? Also can the Samsung look as good as the sony on Netflix as it doesn't have Dolby vision?

This guy crushes the review. Well done Sir!
First time watching as I'm shopping for a tv and did NOT expect the humour. Great comparison and great entertainment!
Love the subtle intro humour ;)
Aaaand the Question is:
Which one is better for next-gen gaming in term of graphics, input lags and motions
I would wait till closer the time the console are released. Sony I think have some updating to do on their TVs and the Samsung TVs are worse than last years. They will also be dirt cheap in 4 months time or so...
The Q80T has dreadful blooming when in game mode because they turn down the local dimming to achieve better response time. The Sony wins by default. Not even close. Sure, the Samsung has very slightly faster response times but the Sony is still good and does it without completely ruining image quality.
Toxy but zero HDMI 2.1 features
Samsung Qleds have Freesync, its amazing for gaming with variable refresh rate. Couldn't find anything on the Sony site about supporting VRR in gaming. Based on that alone, Qled wins.
The XH90/X900H will support ALLM,VRR,4K120p through an Update tho. Dunno why the higher priced flagship doesn't.
Great video again. I hope you will get the chance to do a comparison between de LG CX and the Samsung Q90/95T

@@yogeshn9320 Samsung is best. The burn-in phenomenon is smaller. And LG OLED is best. Sony using LG oled from south korea.
What’s interesting is that Samsung’s more aggressive local dimming must cut into QLED greater color luminance. Both these sets are lackluster for the money though. Seems like LEDs are a worse value this year, now that they’re pushing 8k. While OLED will never have less dimming zones while going down in price, LEDs can cut corners lol.
Excellent comparison. Thank you.
Absolutely Sony
10:04 On my Q8FN it is possible to fix the de-saturation problem.
I can confirm with my Q8FN that Game Mode is pretty drastically de-saturated, but then I can also enable "Contrast Enhancer" to raise HDR brightness to practically match Movie Mode.
Of course I'm fairly certain that "Contrast Enhancer" throws any hope of using a calibrated image out the window, and Game Mode still has the issues with black crush, but I believe Samsung's contrast problems in Game Mode are mostly a firmware calibration issue and not an actual processing limitation.
Excluding the Black Crush problem, blooming control behaves identically in Game Mode and Movie Mode.

I have a lg cx oled, but this feature is the only feature, that is slightly better on a sony oled, i admit.
Frame rates are more fluid. I forgot, sound is better too.
At 0:17 you can easily guess the TV at the right is Sony. The colour reproduction is so much better and natural. 10 years ago my parents had bought a Sony over a Samsung for the same reason. Its somewhat surprising even after a decade, the difference is still so apparent considering how massively Samsung invests in making screens.
Exactly,the same here😊
This was a great upload to help me decide which LED TV I should buy. Currently in the market for both an OLED and LED with the OLED dedicated (more or less) to cinema viewing and the LED for a daily driver.
Had made up my mind on the OLED and was looking for information on the LED. Thanks for the helping hand, mate! 👍
Which LED did you decide on, if I may ask?
Led is great with sunny environment. Oled best for night movie session.
Once you go Oled any other LCD tv looks bad, i cant watch movies on other tv than my Oled anymore. For watching tv you can get a cheap LCD
@@chimk1n Decided to go with the 65" Sony X95G.
I'm looking forward to the XH90 being released as that's the one I have my eye on. Cheaper than the xh95 but hopefully more future proof with a better SOC and HDMI 2.1 ports.
The XH90 only has the X1 vs the X1 Ultimate in the xh95 and no X-wide angle layer however I am upgrading from an XE85 which also only has the X1 and no X-wide angle either and that is a great TV, plus I keep my XE85 in game mode anyway as all my stuff goes into a single HDMI port from an AV receiver so all the fancy up-scaling and motion tech is disabled for me anyway. From researching the differences between the X1/Extreme/Ultimate are only minor to the untrained eye anyway.
For me the upgrade to the XH90 is for the FALD backlight and the higher HDR brightness it brings otherwise I am very happy with the XE85 and that will become my bedroom gaming TV.
From reading a translated Chinese review the XH90 does have less backlight zones than the XH95 but they also only max out at around 850 nits compared to 1200 on the XH95 so whilst less zones might mean more blooming the lower peak brightness might help in that respect too, either way for me personally it is still a massive HDR upgrade as my XE85 can only hit around 450nits and I find that looks amazing anyway.
Was it crap that Sony didn't put HDMI 2.1 in all their 2020 TV's? Yup, is it the end of the world? Nope as the XH90 I believe is the TV they are aiming at gamers and right now gamers are the only ones who will primarily benefit from HDMI 2.1 other than eARC which all the 2020 TV's support anyway. Reviews of the XH80 which also has the same X1 processor as the XH90 give that thing a sub 10ms input lag measurement in game mode vs the 20ms of the XH95 with its X1 ultimate so hopefully the XH90 with its standard X1 is closer to the XH80's input lag time and with its HDMI 2.1 features and FALD backlight will be the TV of choice for the new Xbox and PS5
I can't find a confirmation yet but I think they've just renamed the "X1 Extreme" to just "X1" in 2020, thats the only thing that makes sense just now unless the XH90 is the 85 series upgraded to FALD from Edge-lit, with the "old" X1 you have in your XE85, in that case I think they will release an XH92/93/94 in September, bringing back the X1 Extreme.
I'm leaning more towards the former rather than the latter since even the XH80 has "X1" this year, so maybe XH80/XH85 is the old X1 and XH90 has the new X1/rebranded X1E. Its bloody confusing...
@@Kuranghi From what I have been reading the XH90 is intended to be the replacement for the older 85 series so it appears the XH90 is going to perform as good as the old 85's but with FALD. So it will be XH70 as the base model XH80(edge lit) XH90(FALD) as the Midrange and the XH95 as the top of the range for the consumer (non master series) LCD's this year.
@@Stuey3D After this video I've changed my mind, given that the XH95 has 48 zones, I think that means the XH90 will have less or the same number of zones and there will be an XH96/97/98 in September with 60+ zones.
I think I'm just in denial that 4K LCD is dying though... lol
Have you ever seen a ZD9?
@@Kuranghi Not seen any of the master series in person to be honest. I am hoping the XH90 reviews well as it seems to be the one I am gravitating towards this year, I'm currently torn between the XG95 the XH90 & XH95 It has to be FALD though. For me personally this will be the last TV I buy for a few years my old Samsung went 9 years before an upgrade and I hope I get nearly the same out of whatever TV I buy this year the XE85 will finally replace the Samsung which was relegated to the bedroom a few years ago.
Hopefully when I am due to upgrade again micro LED will be mainstream and competitively priced, as you'll get all the benefits of OLED with extra brightness and no risk of burn in.
8K will no doubt be mainstream by then although I see 8K as a pointless upgrade, hell even 4K over 1080p isnt a huge noticeable difference at normal viewing distances for me HDR was the big upgrade this generation HDR is AMAZING!
Did anyone get the xh90 yet. I think that is the tv for me. With ps5 announcements on Thursday. Does anyone have advice for a bright room? Would xh90 or 95 be better?
Wow!! That's an amazingly detailed and honest video!
great revied, but from late october standpoint more interesting would be samsung q80t v sony xh90 both with hdmi 2.1 and from 2020 model year.
Another great video! This really shows what features are important in each display depending on the source and use. For myself I would go for the Sony given it is more accurate for movie viewing. But for a gamer it's clear the Samsung is a better choice. Thanks again for the video!
