hello!

Doesn’t the QNED80 model have a 10% peak luminance? It looks like a model with local dimming, but it seems that there is no peak luminance behavior in HDR/SDR.

Hello! I definitely understand you and your team’s confusion. It’s because the local dimming is quite terrible on this TV, so we left it disabled for our tests.

I just ordered this TV online and of course it’s not until after that I read the bad reviews on the backlight. Does anyone think this TV is worth investing in? While I still have time to return it I’m questioning on whether or not to do that.

Hi, i recommend buying the 50-inches model, because It mounts a VA panel, so blacks and contrast will be better (Also rTings says that the 50-inches model would have a quite higher evalution, see Discussions). Local dimming remains meh, personally i use It on Low, because on High blooming Is really too much and also because i don’t see a huge difference in black depth between Low and High. So Low Will ensure you elimination of clouding (that you can see without no local dimming at all), not so much difference in black depth compared to High, and a bit of blooming (that instead would be pervasive on High). It’s a compromise, but It Is an Edge LED TV, so you have to expect this type of blooming with local dimming. All in all, with a VA panel and local dimming on Low to eliminate clouding (but a bit of local dimming..) i find that this TV looks great, also because i took It home for only 450€. At this price Is good, also because it supports all next-gen consoles features. But if you want more quality, look around for other TVs

Hello. I need some clarification. It appears from the specifications that the TV supports Dolby Atmos through Dolby Digital Plus, via eARC. So it is lossy Atmos. Then just below, you write that the eARC port is not capable of passing lossless signals, such as Atmos lossless. So does this mean that lossy Atmos can travel through the eARC port? Also, is this lossy Atmos at least output to the internal speakers?

Hi! The text was leftover from an earlier test bench update, and doesn’t reflect the TV’s capabilities. It is indeed capable of support and passing through Dolby lossless signals through eARC, like the results indicate. We’ll update the text in a future rewrite. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
