Samsung QN90D vs Sony BRAVIA 9 QLED

The Sony BRAVIA 9 is generally better than the Samsung QN90D/QN90DD QLED. In most content, they're nearly equally matched regarding HDR brightness, although the Samsung loses much of its brightness in Game Mode while the Sony doesn't. The Sony has slightly better contrast and is more accurate in HDR and SDR out-of-the-box, giving it an edge in image quality. Sony also has the edge in processing, as it has better HDR native gradient handling, low-quality content smoothing, and upscaling than the Samsung model. Still, the Samsung is the better option for high-end PC gamers due to its four 4k @ 144Hz HDMI 2.1 ports, while the Sony is limited to two 4k @ 120Hz ports, one of which doubles as the eARC port. Home theater fans will also appreciate the Sony TV's Dolby Vision support and its ability to pass through DTS audio formats, both of which the Samsung model doesn't support.
