After all, in this era of contending, what kind of television is the best quality? It is obviously not easy to answer this question. Through comparison and analysis, our focus has finally fallen on Sony and Samsung. One is Sony, a Japanese company with a deep technical background in image quality, has always been a representative of high-quality televisions and has a large number of cable powder users. The other is the Korean Samsung, which has a lot of product design and technology.
From a product point of view, from the perspective of last year, the Sony Z9D can be said to be the king of LCD TVs in the industry. It completely kills other models in terms of technology and color tuning. After the release, it also attracted numerous media counterparts who praised it. An epoch-making product. In our comparative evaluation last year, we have verified that Samsung’s flagship KS9800 was a full-scale roller compactor last year. However, with the release of Samsung's new QLED QD TV in 2017, the status of the Z9D's king has obviously been challenged. Can the Z9D defend the crown of the LCD King?
Today, Sony's Z9D and Samsung Q8C have come to our IT168 evaluation room, will be through the comparison evaluation to verify who is stronger in the end. Of course, in order to give readers more reference, but also to answer consumer doubts, we also found the second flagship X9300E that Sony released this year just joined the war, it also uses the same image processing chip as the Z9D. Enter the evaluation topic.
One minute to understand the product:
1. Sony Z9D: Sony released the top TV last year, after the release also laid the position of the LCD TV king, and "national husband" Wang Sicong's microblogging sunbathing makes it known to consumers, 100 inches close to 50 The price of 10,000 yuan, think of the same paragraph, Hu Ge endorsements do not want to fire it is difficult! Z9D biggest advantage is "dynamic backlight system master version" and "X1 image processing chip advanced version", to achieve the quality of the definition in the And the breakthrough in contrast, so that you can fully tap into the details of the 4K HDR content. In our comparative evaluation last year, we also spiked the flagship models of other brands on the screen.
2. Sony X9300E: Sony's new LCD TV launched in 2017, positioning slightly lower than the Z9D, but thanks to the use of the same 4K HDR image processing chip X1 advanced version as the Z9D, there is a unique dual-layer backlight structure blessing that can be realized. For precise local control, the X9300E not only has a thinner body than a traditional full-array LED TV, but also has a higher brightness and a deeper black color. And on the basis of 4K HDR equipped with Dolby Vision, so that the HDR display can be maximized.
3. Samsung Q8C: The flagship of the year released at CES this year features a minimalist design and high-quality QDs. The official data provided by Samsung is very surprising: it can present peak brightness of up to 1500-2000nits, and it is the world's first TV product that can restore 100% color rendering volume and can accurately represent the DCI-P3 color space.
Design and product technology comparison
Now television is basically the center and facade of family living room entertainment. The appearance is a very important consideration. However, the aesthetics of the design is more of a matter of benevolence and wisdom, and everyone's aesthetic perspective is not the same. Therefore, the author does not need to say much about the design. We can draw conclusions based on the real pictures. What we need to do is to compare the three television materials, humanization features, body details, body thickness, and interface richness.
From a positive perspective, the three 65-inch TVs are using the most popular ultra-narrow frame design, especially the Z9D and X9300E are basically the same style, but the body material and base design are different. It is worth mentioning that the base of these three TVs is a traditional vertical base, and the installation method also adopts a bracket + base connection structure. The advantage of this is that the overall look and feel is better, and at the same time, it will also improve the quality of the home. It should be noted that the two Sony TVs are flat, while the Samsung Q8C is a curved TV.

All three televisions use LED backlights, and the Sony Z9D's gold metal color is particularly eye-catching. The combination of black and gold also gives the Z9D a sense of luxury. Samsung Q8C is the reason for the curved screen. Although it is thicker on the side, the actual thickness is the thinnest among the three TVs.
â–² Sony Z9D, Samsung Q8C, Sony X9300E
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 three TVs use the same metal outer frame + narrow edge design exactly the same way, the style of Sony's angular and Samsung's rounded design sharp contrast.

The back of the TV is not particularly important to most home users because most of the time is against the wall. However, we see that the three TVs are worthy of high-end positioning, and have made a lot of effort here. The back of the three TVs has a removable back panel (marked in the red box below). All the connectors and cables can be subtly hidden, and cables that are not wrapped around the cables are also more refreshing.

Body material, three TVs are made of aluminum alloy material and drilling process, polishing, drawing and other different processes to complete, solid workmanship is worthy of the flagship's positioning.

Judging from the interface configuration, the two Sony TVs are arranged similarly, taking full account of the rear HDMI cable after the back cover, can be extended along the base, so that the cable to achieve a fully hidden layout, let the overall look It's very refreshing. The way the Samsung Q8C hides the wire is to focus the interface on the One Connect box that comes with it and connect it through a dedicated cable. Hiding the box in the TV cabinet can prevent desk clutter.

Summary: By comparison, the design of the three TVs all reflect the consistent style of each, Sony's luxury low-key calm, Samsung's personality is reflected in the most vivid, details of the best Sony Z9D workmanship.
Core picture quality comparison
As a TV, image quality must be the most essential factor. How does a good image quality be defined? From the author's point of view, the best TV quality is to achieve the same effect as the actual environment we see with the naked eye, and finally the ultimate. The goal is also WYSIWYG. However, to achieve the most realistic results, it is necessary to get close to the acceptance limit of the most sophisticated system of “human eyesâ€, so here we introduce several major items of the test, including the brightness, contrast, and color range of the TV.
We mainly present through actual measurement data and screen shot comparison. Among them, the data test is mainly through the professional instrument (Japan TOPCON BM-7 luminance meter) for the brightness of the TV itself (including black and white screen brightness, HDR format film brightness range ), NTSC color gamut, bright and dark contrast, dark field performance and other aspects of testing. It should be noted that the maximum brightness of our test is only in our evaluation room test environment, using our test method to measure the results, there may be some differences with the conditions of the official laboratory test, the main value is compared to our previous test Data, but it cannot be used as a result of a limit test.
â–²test instruments
For color, one of the criteria for measuring good or bad is the color gamut, and the other is the color accuracy. The color gamut is the range of the color range that is presented. For example, if the human eye can discriminate a total of about 10 million colors, the television itself must As much as possible to present these colors, so we introduced the NTSC color gamut concept (developed by the National Television Standards Committee of the United States). As for the color accuracy, the best test method is to compare the color of the TV display with the human eye. difference.
Brightness test: The LED backlight is adjusted to the maximum, the image mode standard under the full white picture, the measured center point of the Sony Z9D brightness is 466.1cd/m2, the Sony X9300E center point brightness is 481.3cd/m2, the Samsung Q8C center point brightness is 443.8cd/ M2, Samsung Q8C compared to Sony's two existing gaps, need to show that the test value is only measured under our test conditions, does not represent the TV's peak brightness; all black image test, the three TV's measured black field brightness are 0.01cd/m2 is below the lowest limit of the instrument, so theoretically the static contrast is infinite.
â–² black and white screen brightness test picture
Next is the test of brightness in HDR video playback, so we selected a HDR format for testing. (The following photo comparison part, due to taking into account the three 65-inch TVs placed together to take pictures, subject to the size of the room and the camera itself, and can not show the real gap, so we are using Sony and Samsung to compare shooting.)
Sony Z9D in the HDR source test process, the highest point of the instantaneous brightness reached 978.7cd/m2, this result is the highest in all TVs I tested, in the civil TV field is even more rare, and the brightness of the Sony X9300E Although slightly lower, it has reached 866.3cd/m2, but it is still the top level in the current commercial TV. Although the Samsung Q8C has a slight improvement compared to the pure white screen, the brightness of the highest point of 533.9cd/m2 is obviously not a level with Sony's two products. Of course, this is under the same test conditions. The result.

Due to the limitation of the camera's sensitivity, the photos can not fully reflect the real picture effects. Through the naked eye, it can be clearly seen that the two Sony TVs not only have high brightness but also have better preservation of details. This can be seen from the above picture. The details of the clouds, including the texture details of the tiger and the hull, can also be objectively reflected in the differences in the HDR mode.
The following two pictures can also well reflect the gap between the three TVs in the HDR mode. Observe the light and darkness of the candlelight and the surrounding areas. It can be clearly seen that the contrast between the Sony's brightness and darkness is stronger and the contrast is sharper. Compared to the Samsung Q8C, the overall comparison All of them are whitish, the contrast between light and shade is weakened, all the parts are brightened, but obviously distorted.
â–² Sony Z9D contrast Samsung Q8C
â–² Sony X9300E contrast Samsung Q8C
The main cause of the gap is that one of the core technologies of the advanced version of the Sony X1 image processing chip is the ability to calculate the details of scenes in the dark and light areas of the dual image database for image processing, which can be accurately identified and at the same time The retained object performs a variety of image quality processing actions so that it can output control and optimize other valid image information.
Color gamut test: We used a professional instrument BM-7 (brightness meter) to test three TVs separately. The measured Sony Z9D color gamut was 85.66%, the Sony X9300E had a color gamut of 84.89%, and the Samsung Q8C's NTSC color gamut was 101.96%. From the color gamut point of view, Samsung leads more. The high color gamut reflects the fact that the colors on the TV display are more colorful and bright, but the high color gamut does not mean the same as the true color. Whether or not the advantages of the color gamut can be brought into play is another very important issue. For example, the OLED screen of a Samsung mobile phone is a representative of the extremely high color gamut, but the color is obviously distorted.

In real life, we can hardly see such high saturation colors. Although bright colors are easier to catch the eyeballs, too strong colors are often accompanied by too many cases and the screen is distorted, so that the naked eye will look very fake. . This point can be seen from the comparison picture, pay attention to see the color of the umbrella and clothes, see what? That is Samsung's color display is too bright, this may please some people's attention, but the color is obviously distorted, Compared to Sony's picture, it looks more transparent, and the picture quality is relatively natural and delicate.

4K ultra HD real shot contrast
In order to more intuitively reflect the differences between the three TV sets, we have introduced a real shot comparison link. Although there are some gaps from the actual human eye viewing, careful viewing can still make a comparison. First of all, from the following group of real-life video shots, you can see the difference between Sony and Samsung in the details of the shadows. You can pay attention to the details of the red circle position and the sparkling effect of splashes.

The following group of contrasting images mainly reflect the degree of color recognition in a high-brightness environment. The sky and the details of the building can be observed. The blue skies of Sony TV and the details of the building have a high degree of recognition. The Samsung Sky Already white, it is difficult to discern the shape of the cloud.

In the display of red flowers, the difference between the three televisions can also be clearly seen. The transparency of Sony TVs, the expressiveness of colors, and the restoration of details all occupy an advantage. Samsung's red color is obviously overflowing, and all details are sticky. Together.

Summary: Sony's position in image quality is still unshakeable, even though the Samsung Q8C has been greatly improved compared to the previous-generation flagship KS9800, with quantum dots in the color gamut, but reflected in the actual effect. Still slightly inferior, there is a gap between the Sony's two televisions in terms of color truth, detail restoration, and brightness. The gap between the Sony Z9D and the X9300E is less obvious, but it is only slightly superior in terms of brightness and color reproduction.
System Application vs. Video Resources
For those of us who are accustomed to smart phones, smart TV systems are also worthy of attention. We mainly compare the system aesthetics, fluency, scalability, control experience, and adjustable features. Simultaneously compare online video resources, number of smart applications, experience, and more.
The first is the remote control part. Sony's remote control still maintains a traditional multi-button design, which reduces the user's learning costs. It is also worth mentioning that due to the use of a more open Android system, it can be compatible with a variety of handles, Keyboard, mouse and even mobile phone remote control, users can also choose according to their own operating habits and preferences; and Samsung's remote control is completely changed the appearance, this is a new design minimalist Bluetooth remote control, support for voice input and Various shortcut keys, metal material feel good.

On the system side, Sony TV adopts a deeply customized Android system. It still continues Sony's tradition and is equipped with an Android 6.0 system. Afterwards, it will upgrade to a 7.0 system with new firmware. There is not much change in the use of the main interface layout is very streamlined, the main functions and settings are all displayed in the form of waterfall flow, even for new users is also easy, easy to get started; Samsung TV is still using independent research and development The system can see the poster-type arrangement from the menu interface. Press the home button to call out the menu under any interface. The main large blocks include settings, APP applications, TV, Mango TV and some built-in applications.
In contrast, the UI interfaces of the two TVs are all styles that their own homes have been adhering to, and are not well defined. However, Samsung's new remote controls are more convenient and faster, and Samsung's performance in terms of text input and interface smoothness. Slightly advantage.
â–² Sony and Samsung system UI interface comparison
For today's smart TV users, the most used is still the video playback function, online video content, Sony TV's partner in the content is China TV, Samsung TV's main cooperation is Mango TV.

In the newly released interface, the sources of the two sources are not very different, and they can all keep up with hot spots. For example, the latest TV series and variety shows have related themes. Sony's built-in Hua Digital is more real, basically all watch; Samsung's Mango TV's many newest TVs actually open to see one by one trailer or fragment, without any annotation on the interface, is a positive or a fragment .

â–²Sony and Samsung both provide 4K area
Sony Huasheng and Samsung Mango TV are both content providers. Among them, Huadian TV has been known for its powerful content resources in China. Its content covers a wide range of areas and can be considered by users of different age groups such as the general public, children, and the elderly. Multiple needs. In contrast, Mango TV is backed by the mountain of Hunan Satellite TV. There are many exclusive variety shows, TV shows and other content resources.
Both TVs use the remote control to click on the desired movie icon to enter the playback interface. There are not only brief introductions, but also useful functions such as recommendations, characters, and labels, which are easy to use. In the latest movie, we can see many new films just released this year, and the update rate is still very fast.
â–² video player interface
In addition, Sony and Samsung TVs have specialized 4K and Dolby areas to provide high-quality online film sources. Of course for ordinary users, according to the quality of the film source, it can be divided into standard definition, high-definition, and ultra-clear types. Users can select the corresponding source according to their own network conditions and display devices.
â–²Comparison between Sony and Samsung TV video resolution
In the ordinary video playback session, we tested a lot of videos. Samsung has only standard definition and high-definition options, while Sony has a Blu-ray definition option, which is better than the picture quality and clarity.
Taken together, Sony has advantages in the quality and quantity of film sources. It is suitable for consumers who like to watch movies, documentaries and other content. Samsung's built-in mango TV, backed by Hunan Satellite TV, has a lot of exclusive variety and drama resources and is a good choice for fans of Mango.
Games and applications are also essential for smart TVs. Sony TVs have built-in Android systems, so they can be installed and run more. The actual experience also confirms this. Sony's built-in application store can also install applications such as Beckham Market, sofa housekeepers and other aggregations, and it must be comprehensively superior to Samsung TVs in terms of application quantity and practicality.
â–² Sony and Samsung App Store Interface Comparison
Sony TV can also provide gamers with premium game content that better fits the TV through the preset Tencent TV game lobby. It is reported that the first phase of the boutique hot games has reached more than 30 models, covering the leisure puzzle, sports racing, action adventure, flight shooting, chess games and other categories to meet the needs of users of different ages. Users can quickly open their favorite games on their TVs through their mobile phones or remote controls, and they can interact with their friends and family.

In contrast, the number of Samsung smart TV applications is very limited, coupled with the overall interface in the application store and the external UI is quite different, through the main interface when switching in will be more abrupt.
Summary: At present, Sony is better at content and intelligence.
Evaluation conclusion:
Appearance comparison: Sony's calm atmosphere work better
From the appearance, Sony and Samsung TV clearly represent two different styles, each with its own unique design. The Sony Z9D has a more calm atmosphere, sharp edges and corners, low-key and luxurious colors, and more refined and solid workmanship. The aesthetic simplicity and the spirit of craftsmanship make the X9300E feel like a downsized version of the Z9D, but the price is too close to the people. The contrasting design of the Samsung Q8C TV takes the fashion route, adopts a curved screen, integrated metal back and split design, and is a highly recognizable product on the market.
Quality comparison: Sony's move is one step higher Samsung's rising star
In the most important quality testing session, the Z9D and X9300E have absolute advantages in terms of brightness, light and dark details, and color reproduction thanks to Sony's unique C1 X1 image chip and dynamic backlight system. Although the Samsung Q8C has a higher color gamut, it still has a certain gap with Sony in terms of actual results. So the conclusion is also very clear, Sony's two TV's picture quality is better than Samsung Q8C.
Video & Control Contrast: Sony Content and Intelligent Dominance
Compared with video entertainment resources, the Sony Z9D has more advantages in the quality and quantity of the film source. It is suitable for consumers who like to watch movies, documentaries, etc., while Sony uses Android, in the number of programs, ease of use, scalability and games. Experiences and other aspects have even greater advantages, and also extend the living room entertainment. The Samsung Q8C is equipped with a new remote control, while built-in Mango TV, with Hunan Satellite TV's single broadcast variety and drama resources, is a good choice for fans of Mango.
Suggestions for purchase: At this stage, if you want the best quality TV, Sony is still the best choice, especially the Z9D is still a well-deserved LCD TV king, while the X9300E is compared to the Z9D streamlined version, the budget is limited The next is also a good choice. Of course, Samsung is also a good choice if you are not so demanding on the quality of the picture, and if the design is more important.
