Sony X90K/X90CK vs Samsung QN85C/QN85CD QLED

The Samsung QN85C is better than the Sony X90K/X90CK, except for image processing, where Sony is the market leader. The Samsung has a much better local dimming solution with many more zones, giving it a superior overall contrast ratio with much better black uniformity. It also gets much brighter in SDR and HDR and has a much better viewing angle. The Samsung TV also has four full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports versus only two on the Sony, one of which is its eARC port. Of course, the Sony TV has much better low-quality content smoothing and low-resolution upscaling and supports advanced audio and video formats such as DTS and Dolby Vision.
