Hello everyone,
I am looking to buy either the QN95C or QN95D. But it depends on some details, concerning the PWM frequency and the image quality.
1. Regarding PWM frequency: I have some difficulties with low PWM frequencies. I will mostly use the Movies mode and Game mode. Regarding these modes I see some differences when looking at their Rtings reviews:
- Regarding the QN95C Rtings says that
* Movie Mode = 960hz
* Game Mode = 960hz with a secondary flicker at 120hz
- Regarding the QN95D Rtings says that
* Movie Mode = 960hz
* Game Mode = 960hz
Questions about PWM frequency:
- Is this true? Does the QN95D has the advantage of NO secondary flicker at 120hz when in Game Mode?
- Regarding the 960hz in Movie Mode on both the QN95C and QN95D: is this a CONSTANT 960hz? I ask this because Rtings mention in their review of both models predecessor - the QN95B - that:
"In 'Movie' mode, with the backlight set between '38' and the max of '50', the backlight flickers at 120Hz. However, it increases to 960Hz with a backlight setting below '38'."
This is important to me. I don't want to have to deal with some shenanigans around adjusting my brightness setting to get to a better PWM frequency and rather have a constant PWM frequency.
2. Regarding image problems: in the What Hifi review of the QN95D I've read that:
"It's not all good news for the QN95D, though, as there are some notable oddities and downright deficiencies to its pictures that are an issue in isolation and become more apparent when watching the same content on the S95D. The first is a peculiar blue halo effect around particularly bright objects that seems to happen in certain scenes. During a black-and-white segment in Oppenheimer in which a committee meets at a restaurant, there is a subtle but offputting blue tint to the whole image."
Questions about image problems:
- can someone confirm this finding of What Hifi? Is it true that the QN95D has some image problems relating to blue halo effects around bright objects?
Thank you everyone in advance! I hope you can enlighten me and help me in my search of a good choice between those two Samsung models.
