Ok wow. People I am traveling for business which is why I didn't reply back
I have replied in the past to seeing the Z9D before it was released
Anyway
No they didn't do any specific tests and I couldn't see dimming zone count, I couldn't tell how bright it got.
No info on glossy or non glossy screen - it was a bright room.
Both panels look great tbf. Z9F of fantastic similar design to current model though more black and gun metal vs gold.
A9F looks excellent despite the lean. It didn't look as pronounced as the A1 in all honesty.
Android runs super quick - they must've got a new chip
X1 ultimate is amazing from the demos they showed.
Compared it to an E8 and the A9 looked better (had same settings on both)
Z9F was compared to a Q9 and looked better but not that much better in all honesty.
Anyway announcement coming August.
Choose to believe me or not I don't care personally. Happy to have not shared the info.
