MULTI Need Suggestions

Except that we've already established that contrast isn't game changing. Impactful HDR is, which is lost on an OLED TV

It's not at all inadequate. As long as there are a decent number of dimming zones, FALD produces great results. First-gen Mini LED backlighting in Samsung QLED TVs is producing near OLED black uniformity already, and the eventual transition to Micro LED will take things one step further.

Dem LED contrast levels....

 

[CerebralTiger]

lmao MicroLEDs are still the premium models for a reason

 

[Necrokiller]

What happun Samsung?

 

[CerebralTiger]

Better tech happened. QD-OLED != OLED

 

[CerebralTiger]

Already conquered the OLED segment, now its time to do the same with mini LED

Not until they man up and buy VA panels from Samsung, just like Samsung bought WRGB OLED panels from...oh wait

 

[CerebralTiger]

Oh well, hopefully Sony updates both your TV and PS5 this fall to support old game changing features like VRR so atleast the TV is somewhat more useful than what you paid for it

So is it more useful yet?

Disables local dimming. LMAOOOOOOOOOO

Press F for Sony LED TV owners

 

[CerebralTiger]

Wow, wasn't expecting Necrokiller to be so up-to-date on the progress of VRR on Sony TVs

I've always had FALD disabled with games because it adds to the input latency. Even without local dimming, the TV's contrast and black levels are pretty solid. In fact, local dimming on this TV has the drawback of crushing some of the finer detail in dark scenes

Don't prefer to have it on in movies/TV shows either, as it's pretty jarring to see certain zones of the screen have their backlight disabled while others have it enabled during dark scenes, particularly if a bright object is moving within dark scenery

There's a reason why the Netflix calibrated mode on this TV seemingly disables local dimming

Such is the level of excitement over an 8 years old feature from PC gaming that CerebralTiger has immediately started to point out the flaws of HDR on LED TVs

Wow, wasn't expecting Necrokiller to be so up-to-date on the progress of VRR on Sony TVs

Oh I know about the 4k120Hz blurring issue as well

Mediocre TV stays mediocre

 

[CerebralTiger]

Since when is HDR = FALD?

You do know plenty of LCDs that support HDR don't have FALD, right? lol

 

[Necrokiller]

Ek to LED ki contrast ratio pehle hi can't match OLEDs, and the only technology that was intended to improve it, gets disabled in VRR mode.

Hopefully, anyone reading this thread will stay away from X900H for their "impactful" HDR gaming needs.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Also, HDR peak brightness has improved with this new update, further improving the impact of HDR. Ek to OLED fans ko yeh nahi samajh aata that a bright screen that preserves highlights is what truly makes HDR shine.

Hopefully, anyone reading this thread will stay away from X900H for their "impactful" HDR gaming needs.

Hopefully they'll also stay away from LG OLED TVs, and instead opt for an LCD with high real world peak brightness, such as Samsung's QN90A. That, or they can wait for Samsung's QD-OLED TVs, or better yet, wait for their microLED TVs.

 

[Necrokiller]

Hopefully they'll also stay away from LG OLED TVs

I mean, its the top recommended TV for HDR gaming from experts like Vincent, DF and Rtings. Yes, the same Rtings that you're using at your own convenience

X900H can't catch a break. Yikes!

 

[CerebralTiger]

I mean, its the top recommended TV for HDR gaming from experts like Vincent, DF and Rtings.

Vincent recommended the Samsung QN90A, while acknowledging the weaknessess of OLED TVs, and he did so while showing footage from Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart. Yikes!

P.S. Burn-in. Yikes!

 

[Necrokiller]

Vincent also noted the overbright dynamic tone mapping in HDR and screen uniformity "lottery" on the QN90A, while using Rift Apart ofcourse. Yikes

Only thing burning right now are the wallets of X900H owners.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Dynamic tonemapping with HGIG enabled should be fixable via a software update. HGIG isn't supposed to have dynamic tone mapping anyway - a satisfied X900H owner

 

[Necrokiller]

Kinda like how X900 owners were waiting for software updates to introduce an 8 years old PC technology on their TV, but ended up with an update that broke other features

 

[CerebralTiger]

Pretty sure you understand how disabling something is not nearly as complicated as enabling it

 

[NaNoW]

@venom did you end up buying anything after the PHD course from necro and CT ?
