ya sony did improve for this year line-up of led tv, but blooming issue on x950h still seem quite noticable
need to see sony malaysia actually brings in x950h and x900h or not, n their prices against samsung
The blooming is due to the X-WIDE-angle optical filter .
Traditionally , the main weakness of VA TV is the off-axis performance .
X950 series fixes this by applying an optical filter which reduce dispersion of the light , at the cost of sacrificing contrast numbers.
Apparently the Samsung Q95T can do this better by not having to significantly reduce contrast ratio .
If you must get the best LCD TV , get Q95T .
I dare say the Samsung Q95T is currently the best HDR experience MY has ever seen .
Find yourself a demo TV from best denki , ask them to run a couple of HDR clips for you .
Some of my favorite ones are from Guardian of Galaxy 2 & Valerian City of Thousands Planet .
Massive amount of color volume , coupled with a very sophisticated blooming suppression that rival even the legendary Sony Z9D .
You just cannot buy the same level of HDR impact anywhere else .
Considering the fact that the Q95T ( 65" ) is a
MUCH brighter than even the Z9D and able to consistently maintain over 2000 nits of peak brightness , that is big compliment .
Perhaps Samsung has finally realized it is not the number of zones that makes the difference but the algorithm .
Plus they are adhering to the standard of PQ more accurately compare to last year , still not perfect but definitely a great start towards the right direction .
All of that , with an addition of the best screen coating in business , it helps to increase the perceived contrast in a room with ambient lights .
The only problem is there is a slight issues with uneven black levels in gaming mode but that is not a dealbreaker as this isn't visible in other viewing modes .
