Sammy S90D Still Worth it for DV Heavy Content?
Hi there! I had my heart set on a 85" Samsung S90D mostly based on info gathered here. Went to Best Buy and loved what I saw. The more I dig though, the more I begin to doubt it is the right TV for me. Analysis paralysis in full effect.
I use an ATV 4K and have an extensive Apple digital movie and TV library. I also have a Sony UHD br player and an extensive HD/UHD disc library. 75% of my TV use is watching/streaming soccer or playing the PS5. I also stream Prime, Paramount+, ATV+, YTTV, YT, and Max. (I’m fine using built-in OS and apps if better)
Given that the vast majority of my physical and digital library is DV, will the S90D still be a top performer? Most content will be downgraded to HDR10 correct? Also considering a Bravia 9 but that’s a $1500 price difference. Current TV: Sony 75" X900F (or H, can’t remember) TIA!

Unfortunately, we no longer have this TV, so we can’t retest it. LPCM passthrough isn’t part of our testing at the moment either, but we’re considering adding it with a future test methodology update.
