Updated the TV's firmware and retested the G-SYNC compatibility.
We retested the backlight flicker with VRR enabled. Retested the SDR and HDR brightness after a firmware update. We checked for an issue with colors washing out in certain picture modes. This error only impacted the published photo, and no changes were made to the score or results.
We corrected a mistake in the image processing of the reflections photos. Since the PS5 only supports HDMI Forum VRR, this also confirmed that the TV supports that type of VRR. We tested the TV with the PS5's new variable refresh rate (VRR) feature and confirmed that it's working properly. We've also split the console compatibility boxes into separate PS5 Compatibility and Xbox Series X|S Compatibility tests. Updated to Test Bench 1.7 with an updated HDR Brightness test that better reflects real world usage. Updated to Test Bench 1.8, adding a new box for PQ EOTF tracking and updating our Color Volume and Color Gamut tests to better reflect real world usage. We uploaded the initial brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test. We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for two months in our Accelerated Longevity Test. Updated to Test Bench 1.9, modifying our Contrast testing and splitting our local dimming testing into multiple sections covering Blooming, Black Crush, and Lighting Zone Transitions. Here are the two images with local dimming enabled on the QN90A (in addition to the one with local dimming disabled since I couldn’t figure out how to reinsert them above.We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for four months in our Accelerated Longevity Test. [EDIT: A poster below pointed out to me that the above pics are with Local Dimming disabled (so Native Contrast). To be honest, with any ambient light at all, it’ll be tough to see any difference in those black levels but if you watch in the pitch-black like me, that’s still enough of a difference to give up peak brightness levels that are less important in that viewing environment anyway.īut MiniLED backlights have closed that gap significantly and at price-parity, the decision is getting to be less of a no-brainer than it once was. So it really comes down to black levels, and while the A90J may deliver better black levels than any LED/LCD before it, I found one set of pictures best captured where things stand (and I’ll let you figure out which is which): It suffers the usual issues off-angle but between luminance levels dropping-off off angle and color tinting growing off-angle with WOLED, it’s honestly getting into the ‘it’s a wash’ category. The QN90A is a beast on brightness and may also represent the best FALD LED/LCD ever made.
