SONY X95J VS. Samsung QN85A Review

In the TV industry, SONY and Samsung are undoubtedly the most important brands for consumers who need high picture quality and high sound quality.

In early 2021, SONY and Samsung upgraded their TV matrix, and a new battle began again. Let's see SONY X95J and Samsung QN85A, two "top" 4K products, which is better.

1. Picture Quality

The SONY X95J has a 4K LED panel, while the Samsung QN85A has a 4K Neo QLED panel. It should be mentioned that the panel of Samsung QN85A adopts the latest quantum dot matrix technology, which is miniled in the current color TV market in recent years. The TV screen can then be filled with more LED to support ultra-precise light-path control, reducing blinding and halo effects and showing more detail in both light and dark images.

In terms of panel quality, we tested the panel data of the two products through the Starscream tester, and there was little difference in the color gamut.

In terms of brightness, SONY X95J global brightness 689NIT, Samsung 621NIT. The peak brightness of SONY X95J and Samsung X95J is 919nit and 877nit respectively, which are relatively good panel levels.

2. TV chip

What decides picture quality is not only the panel, the picture quality that each brand differs adjusts technology and TV chip had key effect likewise. Among them, the chip has become one of the core factors affecting the upgrade of the TV experience.

The core of the 2021 SONY TV upgrade is all about an in-house revamped XR cognitive chip that mimics human cognition. Through the multi-dimensional cross judgment of multiple elements in the picture and matching different algorithms for each block, the improvement of single block and dimension different from the global picture quality gain is realized, and the visual effect more in line with human cognitive intuition is provided.

The Samsung QN85A, too, is powered by a NEO quantum dot 4K processor. The TV chip can deeply learn the user's habits, analyze the attributes of each pixel, and optimize the picture pixel by pixel, so as to restore the texture of objects and reduce the noise of the picture. Samsung's chip also improves picture quality, with 4K AI image enhancement boosting the resolution of the signal source, making the picture sharper and objects sharper.

3. Colour effect

From the two groups of pictures, in the face of such a more colorful picture, Samsung QN85A's picture brightness will be significantly higher. However, SONY will be more reasonable in the lighting and detail processing of different parts of the picture, especially the stone wall part at the bottom of the picture. SONY X95J's picture will be closer to the real world.

For the reduction part of the character's skin color, the effect of the two is also very different.

4. Sound Quality

In sound technology, SONY X95J itself adopted by multichannel sound field screen technology, at the top two sides have a sound field orientation at the bottom of the speaker, on both sides of the unit is a bass reflex, in its back there is a heavy bass speaker, so as to achieve sound can be implemented according to the different effect of different location.

X95J with XR cognitive chip added 3D surround sound field conversion technology, through the space perception of XR cognitive chip, can improve the sound to 3D space sound surround effect, and through the top of the high-frequency unit to create a stereo effect of sky sound.

Samsung QN85A is equipped with its own audio and picture tracking OTS technology in terms of soundtracking technology, which uses the multi-channel feature to track the image sound source in real-time. You can also try to adjust the speaker power through the chip and play content so that the sound of different voice positions can adjust the volume appropriately.

In the part of the sound, the difference between them in basic quality is not big, but in the orientation of sound tuning. However, SONY X95J has obvious advantages in the effect of sound and picture tracking, with a clear sense of sound and space. The sky sound channel simulated by XR cognitive chip also has obvious sound direction, better surround effect, and more immersion.

Samsung QN84A vs. Samsung QN85A, which is better?

Samsung QN84A and Samsung QN85A are both Samsung QLED TVs, and now since the OLED TV is getting more and more popular for its better image and contrast. So these two Samsung TVs, which is better? Model...
