Halo effect and black detail visibility:

The Samsung S90D distinguishes itself with its OLED matrix, which delivers exceptionally high contrast, one of its standout features. OLED technology allows each pixel to emit light independently, producing perfectly deep blacks and excellent detail visibility in even the darkest scenes. Unlike traditional LCD screens with backlighting—where blacks can appear washed out or greyish due to uneven illumination—OLED ensures that pixels in black areas are completely turned off, resulting in unparalleled contrast.

This remarkable performance brings vibrancy and realism to images. For example, in the film Oblivion, the Samsung S90D accurately reproduces the intense light of a lantern, preserving details in the brightest parts of the image. Similarly, in The Revenant, the OLED matrix sharply defines the actor’s silhouette against a dark forest backdrop, delivering outstanding dynamics and intricate detail. The result is a viewing experience that truly immerses the audience.

The LG QNED87T6B struggles in the black and contrast categories, primarily due to its IPS panel. While IPS panels generally offer better viewing angles, they tend to fall short in contrast performance compared to VA panels, which excel in deep blacks and high contrast. Additionally, the TV’s edge dimming feature does little to improve this issue, as its effects are relatively weak.

In the 50-inch variant, which uses a VA panel, these issues are less pronounced. However, for larger sizes, the contrast performance is a noticeable drawback. Test patterns reveal the TV’s difficulty with maintaining deep blacks, and in scenes like the movie clip from The Revenant, the backlight struggles to keep the dark areas consistent, leading to noticeable blooming and poor black levels. This undermines the overall viewing experience, particularly in darker scenes where contrast is most important.

Factory Mode

After calibration

The Samsung S90D television has been tested in Filmmaker mode, which offers good colour reproduction, although with some imperfections that may be noticeable to more demanding users. This mode may seem too warm, and users who switched from Standard mode may experience a slight shock. It is worth noting that this state of affairs is caused by poor settings, for example, in the white balance, rather than the Filmmaker mode itself. In both SDR and HDR content, the device shows drops in blue colour, causing colours to become warmer than they should be. In practice, this means that some shades, such as sky blue or skin tones, may appear less natural and more tinged with pink or yellow. The Colour Checker test confirms these deviations, showing shifts towards warmer tones. In SDR content, the gamma graph indicates slight fluctuations, causing the image to be minimally darker, especially in shadows. This may affect less distinct details in darker scenes. Meanwhile, in 4K HDR materials, the EOTF curve is above the recommended line, which leads to some parts of the image being displayed too brightly, potentially causing clipping in the brightest areas. Overall, the Samsung S90D presents a solid picture straight out of the box, but for the best results, especially with more demanding content, additional calibration is recommended.

The LG QNED87T6B, even in its best factory setting, Filmmaker Mode, exhibits issues with colour reproduction. A significant problem is the white balance, where the blue colour tends to drop on the graph, causing a shift towards yellow. This results in a warmer hue than intended, which affects the naturalness of color reproduction, especially in scenes with white or neutral backgrounds. The Colour Checker test confirmed that certain colours are distorted and do not accurately reflect reality, which can make movie scenes seem less lifelike and distort details.

In terms of contrast, there are notable issues with the gamma graph, showing significant drops where the optimal value should be around 2.4. This results in the TV displaying darker areas brighter in some scenes, which reduces depth and dynamic range. Additionally, the EOTF (Electro-Optical Transfer Function) curve, which corresponds to brightness reproduction, shows an unnatural drop at the start, leading to lower accuracy in dark scenes. This diminishes the TV's ability to convey full black depth, causing details in darker areas to be lost. As a result, more demanding scenes may appear less realistic, with a noticeable loss of detail in shadows and dark areas.

Color reproduction after calibration

8.7/10

7.8/10

After calibration, the S90D TV delivers an even more impressive performance in movie mode. The white balance for both HD and 4K HDR content is now nearly perfect. While there are still some minor imperfections, they are so subtle that they don't significantly impact the overall image quality. The colours are more balanced, offering a natural depiction of details, especially in scenes that require precise colour accuracy.

It's important to note that the 48-inch model features a WOLED panel, which differs from the larger sizes. This results in a smaller coverage of the wide colour gamut, meaning it doesn't offer the same rich colours as the 65-inch version, which is equipped with a QD-OLED panel.

Contrast has also seen a substantial improvement. The gamma curve after calibration is much closer to the ideal line, achieving a better balance between bright and dark areas of the image. The EOTF curve, which previously showed issues with overly bright scenes, now performs much better, retaining more detail in the bright sections of the image, especially in HDR content.

After calibration, the LG QNED87T6B delivers impressive results with SDR content. The white balance has been improved, resulting in natural, harmonious tones across various scenes. The precise gamma tuning allows for accurate reproduction of details in both dark and bright areas, making the TV perform excellently in everyday use. The overall image is vivid and well-balanced, with solid colour quality in HD. The contrast has also improved, with the gamma chart showing fewer significant errors, providing a more refined viewing experience.

In 4K HDR, the white balance continues to perform well, though some errors remain at the end of the chart. These might be linked to the TV's aggressive local dimming, which can affect colour accuracy in certain scenes. While the TV does not fully improve brightness as indicated by the EOTF curve, its inherent construction limitations prevent it from achieving perfection in this area. The Colour Checker test highlights an issue with colour saturation, as the TV, despite offering a wide colour gamut, cannot fully capture what the director intended.

Nevertheless, the overall picture quality after calibration is considerably better than before. The improvements in white balance and gamma tuning result in more vivid and realistic colours, enhancing the viewing experience despite the remaining shortcomings.

The S90D is equipped with a built-in player that supports most popular video formats, ensuring convenient playback of movies from various sources. It also supports Polish subtitles, with the option to customise the font colour, enhancing comfort when watching content with subtitles. While the television handles a wide range of photo formats, it lacks support for the widely used PNG format. Despite this minor limitation, the S90D offers excellent playback capabilities overall.

The built-in media player in the LG QNED87 television offers impressive capabilities for playing video and audio files. It supports a wide range of popular formats, ensuring versatility and ease of use. The main drawback is the limited support for certain less common photo formats, but this is unlikely to affect most users. For everyday use and typical multimedia formats, the player performs excellently, meeting the needs of most viewers.
