Our Verdict
Samsung Q9FN/Q9/Q9F QLED 2018
Sony A9F OLED
The Sony A9F is better for dark or wide rooms than the Samsung 2018 Q9FN, unless the possibility of temporary image retention or permanent burn-in is a concern. The Samsung Q9FN is much brighter which helps it to overcome glare, but it has worse uniformity and bad viewing angles. The Q9FN has lower input lag and supports FreeSync VRR, great for gaming. The A9F has better dark room performance, thanks to the OLED panel that delivers true blacks and perfect black uniformity.
