Our Verdict
Samsung QN900D 8k QLED
Sony BRAVIA 9 QLED
The Sony BRAVIA 9 QLED is definitely better than the Samsung QN900D 8k QLED. The Samsung is an 8k TV, but due to the lack of 8k content, it doesn't give it any advantage in image quality over the Sony since almost all content is at 4k resolution or lower. While the Sony has slightly worse contrast with local dimming enabled, it has, in turn, far less blooming and less visible zone transitions than the Samsung. The Sony is also brighter in HDR and SDR, and has far better image processing overall, leading to better image quality in all scenarios. The Samsung is, however, capable of playing games in 4k @ 240Hz or 8k @ 60Hz, which is enticing for gamers with very powerful rigs, but it can't quite make up for the Sony's edge in image quality.
