Which Sony/Samsung flagship TV is really the strongest

Looking at the current TV market, new brands and new products continue to emerge. However, the real technology and picture quality are rarely seen. The vast majority of products are still focused on competition in the low-end market. For many high-end users who are pursuing high-end products, the real sense of the product in the market is actually more than one hand. In the aggregate, the most attention is currently being made on the Japanese and Korean brands Sony and Samsung. In addition to profound knowledge and technology, it is ahead of the industry in quality tuning. So today we specifically put Samsung and Sony's top two televisions Z9D and KS9800 together to see which one is the real strongest!

First of all, let's introduce the two products to be compared today. First of all, Sony Z9D series TVs were introduced. As the latest flagship product in 2016, it was titled as "the strongest TV" with a 4K HDR. Dynamic backlight system - master version, new 4K image processing chip X1 advanced version, Teli charm display technology (TRILUMINOS), 4K sharp image processing engine PRO, direct type backlight structure and other high-end unique technology. The core technology is the "Backlight Master Drive (Master Edition)", which has changed the layout of edge-type backlights that are common on LCD TVs, and uses high-density direct-type matrix backlights. Realize accurate control of screen brightness. Sony also greatly reduced the light scattering phenomenon of traditional full-matrix LED TVs by concentrating scattered LED light on one point, resulting in higher color contrast and a wider range of color gamut. To the natural colors.

The Samsung KS9800 is the new 3rd-generation flagship television series following the HU9800 series and the JS9800 series. Among them, the cadmium-free quantum dot materials used are the highlights. In terms of image quality, Samsung uses moth-eye bionics, dark black anti-reverse, HDR and other technologies. As a result, Samsung’s official propaganda has a wider color gamut coverage and can improve image brightness and color expression to a new level. The peak brightness can reach 1000 nits.

If Sony and Samsung are likened to two martial arts masters, then Sony must have been painstakingly practicing for many years, with strong internal force, and a unique martial arts master class with no secrets. Compared to Samsung's late start, but with talent and intelligence, coupled with their own continuous efforts, but also to achieve the integration, set a variety of martial arts to learn from the great master of Dacheng.

Then, an unscrupulous figure who only experienced the “true reduction effect” with the naked eye of the master guru and an excellent player who advocated for the “immersive feeling” with clear value, what will happen when the two meet each other? Sparks, who is better?

In order to solve the consumer's doubts, we made a big splash this time, specifically used Sony KD-65Z9D [click to view details] and Samsung UA65KS9800JXXZ [click to view details] two TVs (later written as Z9D and KS9800), their size All of them are 65 inches and they are priced at around RMB 30,000. We will conduct a comprehensive comparison from the aspects of appearance, quality performance, entertainment content resources, intelligent applications, and operation experience to bring you a comprehensive comparison and evaluation.

Design and workmanship comparison

The following is a comparison of the appearance of the two TVs that we got. From the front, the two 65-inch TVs are all using the most popular black ultra-narrow frame design, but they are different on the base and the bottom frame. Different from the four-corner bases currently used in many low-end and mid-range TVs, the bases of these two flagship TVs are all based on a traditional vertical base. The mounting method also uses the bracket and base connection structure. The benefit of this is the overall look and feel. Better, but also improve home quality.

Both TVs use LED backlights. On the side, the body thickness of the Samsung KS9800 TV is thinner. Compared to Sony's relatively heavy weight, considering that Sony used a redesigned direct-lit LED backlight, naturally in terms of thickness. There will be trade-offs. However, from the perspective of space utilization, because the Samsung KS9800 uses a curved screen, plus a more spacious base, so the actual space occupied is larger than the Sony Z9D, compared to Sony's more space-saving, more simple design, It is possible to design the living room space with more space.

The ultra-narrow frame is a popular trend in the current television field. A narrower border can make the TV screen itself have a wider field of view and give a better viewing effect. The overall design contrast, the Sony Z9D work is relatively better, such as the Samsung KS9800 TV's border and screen connection there is a large gap, into the dust and other debris is not easy to clean, for more and more picky mass consumers In terms of it, it's also a small one.

The back is not particularly important for televisions because most of the time is against the wall. However, the two TVs still have a lot of effort here. Sony and Samsung TVs have removable backplanes on the back. All the interfaces and cables can be subtly hidden. There are no redundant hybrid cables. Fresh and neat.

Body material, the two TVs are made of aluminum alloy material and drilling process, polishing, drawing and other different processes. In comparison, the sophistication of the Sony Z9D TV is even better, and Samsung TV will still appear slightly shaken when touched, which may be related to its bracket is too thin.

Judging from the interface, Sony Z9D interface design is very clever in each part of the position, for example, the direction of the three HDMI terminals is inward, so that the HDMI Cable can be extended along the base, and finally loaded with the big activity just now Cover plate, cable to achieve a completely hidden layout, very refreshing. In order to pursue minimalist results, Samsung concentrated its mouth on its own One Connect box, which integrates 4 HDMI, 2 USB, 2 AV input/component inputs, 1 digital audio, and TV antenna. And other commonly used interfaces, and then only need to use a dedicated cable to connect these interfaces, then hide the One Connect box in the TV cabinet can better prevent the messy desktop.

Summary: Appearance performance, Samsung TV surface body is thinner, more eye-catching, compared to Sony TV itself is relatively more calm, highlights the low-key luxury temperament, the overall work of Sony slightly advantage.
