In the picture quality department, Q9FN rises above the typical LCD model by offering a full array local dimming system with 480 zones as well as one of the highest levels of peak brightness right now. Samsung’s dynamic algorithm for controlling the zone dimming system seems a bit too aggressive at times and we encountered some issues but all in all Q9FN delivers good SDR and HDR picture quality. However, all things considered, picture quality cannot match the best OLED TVs from competing brands.
To sum up, we think that the reduced price point this year combined with markedly improved picture quality makes Q9FN one of the best LCD TVs on the market. It also offers certain advantages over OLED and we think that it deserves our Highly Recommended Award.
