[IT168 evaluation] Looking at the current TV market, new brands and new products continue to emerge. However, the real technology and picture quality are rare. The vast majority of products are still focused on competition in the low-end market. For many high-end users who are pursuing high-end products, the real sense of the product in the market is actually more than one hand. In the aggregate, the most attention is currently being made on the Japanese and Korean brands Sony and Samsung. In addition to profound knowledge and technology, it is ahead of the industry in quality tuning. So today we specifically put Samsung and Sony's top two televisions Z9D and KS9800 together to see which one is the real strongest!
First of all, let's introduce the two products to be compared today. First of all, Sony Z9D series TVs were introduced. As the latest flagship product in 2016, it was titled as "the strongest TV" with a 4K HDR. Dynamic backlight system - master version, new 4K image processing chip X1 advanced version, Teli charm display technology (TRILUMINOS), 4K sharp image processing engine PRO, direct type backlight structure and other high-end unique technology. The core technology is the "Backlight Master Drive (Master Edition)", which has changed the layout of edge-type backlights that are common on LCD TVs, and uses high-density direct-type matrix backlights. Realize accurate control of screen brightness. Sony also greatly reduced the light scattering phenomenon of traditional full-matrix LED TVs by concentrating scattered LED light on one point, resulting in higher color contrast and a wider range of color gamut. To the natural colors.

The Samsung KS9800 is the new 3rd-generation flagship television series following the HU9800 series and the JS9800 series. Among them, the cadmium-free quantum dot materials used are the highlights. In terms of image quality, Samsung uses moth-eye bionics, dark black anti-reverse, HDR and other technologies. As a result, Samsung’s official propaganda has a wider color gamut coverage and can improve image brightness and color expression to a new level. The peak brightness can reach 1000 nits.

If Sony and Samsung are likened to two martial arts masters, then Sony must have been painstakingly practicing for many years, with strong internal force, and a unique martial arts master class with no secrets. Compared to Samsung's late start, but with talent and intelligence, coupled with their own continuous efforts, but also to achieve the integration, set a variety of martial arts to learn from the great master of Dacheng.
Then, an unscrupulous figure who only experienced the “true reduction effect†with the naked eye of the master guru and an excellent player who advocated for the “immersive feeling†with clear value, what will happen when the two meet each other? Sparks, who is better?
In order to solve the consumer's doubts, we made a big splash this time, specifically used Sony KD-65Z9D [] and Samsung UA65KS9800JXXZ [] two TVs (later written as Z9D and KS9800), their size is 65 inches, pricing Basically, it is about 30,000 yuan, we will mainly from the appearance of work, quality performance, entertainment content resources, intelligent applications and operational experience in a comprehensive comparison, to bring you a full range of detailed comparative evaluation.
Design and workmanship comparison
The following is a comparison of the appearance of the two TVs that we got. From the front, the two 65-inch TVs are all using the most popular black ultra-narrow frame design, but they are different on the base and the bottom frame. Different from the four-corner bases currently used in many low-end and mid-range TVs, the bases of these two flagship TVs are all based on a traditional vertical base. The mounting method also uses the bracket and base connection structure. The benefit of this is the overall look and feel. Better, but also improve home quality.

Both TVs use LED backlights. On the side, the body thickness of the Samsung KS9800 TV is thinner. Compared to Sony's relatively heavy weight, considering that Sony used a redesigned direct-lit LED backlight, naturally in terms of thickness. There will be trade-offs. However, from the perspective of space utilization, because the Samsung KS9800 uses a curved screen, plus a more spacious base, so the actual space occupied is larger than the Sony Z9D, compared to Sony's more space-saving, more simple design, It is possible to design the living room space with more space.

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 overall design contrast, the Sony Z9D work is relatively better, such as the Samsung KS9800 TV's border and screen connection there is a large gap, into the dust and other debris is not easy to clean, for more and more picky mass consumers In terms of it, it's also a small one.
â–²Sony TV saves more space and more texture; Samsung TV body is thinner and thinner
The back is not particularly important for televisions because most of the time is against the wall. However, the two TVs still have a lot of effort here. Sony and Samsung TVs have removable backplanes on the back. All the interfaces and cables can be subtly hidden. There are no redundant hybrid cables. Fresh and neat.
â–² Sony Z9D VS Samsung KS9800 back design contrast
Body material, the two TVs are made of aluminum alloy material and drilling process, polishing, drawing and other different processes. In comparison, the sophistication of the Sony Z9D TV is even better, and Samsung TV will still appear slightly shaken when touched, which may be related to its bracket is too thin.
â–² Sony Z9D VS Samsung KS9800 fuselage base detail design
Judging from the interface, Sony Z9D interface design is very clever in each part of the position, for example, the direction of the three HDMI terminals is inward, so that the HDMI cable can be extended along the base, and finally loaded with the big activity just now Cover plate, cable to achieve a completely hidden layout, very refreshing. In order to pursue minimalist results, Samsung concentrated its mouth on its own One Connect box, which integrates 4 HDMI, 2 USB, 2 AV input/component inputs, 1 digital audio, and TV antenna. And other commonly used interfaces, and then only need to use a dedicated cable to connect these interfaces, then hide the One Connect box in the TV cabinet can better prevent the messy desktop.

Summary: Appearance performance, Samsung TV surface body is thinner, more eye-catching, compared to Sony TV itself is relatively more calm, highlights the low-key luxury temperament, the overall work of Sony slightly advantage.
Quality contrast (both subjective and objective)
As a television, the quality of the picture is bound to be the most essential factor. How does the quality of the picture be defined? From the author's point of view, the best quality of television is to achieve the same effect as the real environment we see. Ultimately, the ultimate goal It is also WYSIWYG. However, in order to achieve the most realistic results, it is necessary to approach the acceptance limit of the most sophisticated system of the human eye. According to statistics, the human eye can basically distinguish the brightness range of 0.01-1000cd/m2, so the closer the TV itself is to this range, the better the result will be. This is also the benchmark of our brightness test. Of course, the brightness and contrast are also An important indicator in the range of brightness changes.
For color, one of the criteria for measuring good and 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; In addition, the color temperature consistency of the screen, the resolution of the details of the performance is also an important measure.
This time we divided the comparison project into subjective tests and objective tests. The objective project was tested by a professional instrument BM-7 (brightness meter), and the brightness, color gamut range, bright and dark contrast, dark field performance, color temperature consistency, and brightness attenuation of the television itself were tested, and photographs were displayed; subjective test items It uses an external U-disk on the TV. The two TVs simultaneously play selected characters, landscapes, night scenes, intense sports, and other types of videos, as well as 2K, 4K, HDR, etc., with different code sizes, comparing the actual performance of the two TVs. Like effect, at the same time introduce 10 ordinary consumers to score points.
â–²BM-7 (brightness meter) test
Objective test items:
The first is the brightness test link: the LED backlight is adjusted to the maximum, the image mode standard under the full white picture, the measured maximum brightness of the Sony center point is 466.1cd/m2, Samsung KS9800 center maximum brightness of 399.2cd/m2; full black picture test, The measured black field brightness of both TVs is below the instrument's lowest limit of 0.01 cd/m2, so theoretically the static contrast is infinite.
Next is the test in HDR video playback. There are at least a few hundred TVs and monitors that have been tested by the author. However, in terms of brightness, it can be said that it can be more than 500cd/m2. Many televisions that claim to have reached the HDR standard do not exceed this value. It can be said that the results of this test completely broke the original record, Sony Z9D in the HDR source test process, the highest point of the instantaneous brightness of more than 1000cd/m2, which is unique in the field of civilian-level LCD TVs, has Reached the standard of outdoor display with a large screen! The Samsung KS9800 has a lot less contrast, although it can also identify HDR mode video, but the highlight number still does not break the highest brightness value of pure white screen, the highest point is only 370cd/m2 About this, there is still a big gap between the nominal brightness of 1000cd/m2 and TV.

Subject to the limitations of the camera's sensitivity, photos do not reflect the true picture quality. The Sony Z9D TV not only has a high brightness but also has better preservation of details.

Through the following picture can also be a good reflection of the gap between the two TV HDR mode, Sony Z9D black black, white and white, sharp contrast. Compared to Samsung, the gap is not small. Measured brightness can also be a good reflection of the two TV gaps, Sony's white highlights measured brightness 930cd/m2, Samsung is only 330cd/m2, the actual viewing of the gap between the two is far more obvious than the photo.

Next is the 1080P video playback test, in addition to the color difference, the two in the 4K resolution capability also has a large gap, you can see the picture zoom, Samsung's details are completely lumped together, there is More noise. The Sony Z9D with a new 4K sharp image processing engine, you can maximize the optimization of the image, the effect of approaching the screen native 4K resolution, this aspect is very important in the author's view, because most domestic consumers buy home TV All of them are playing 1080P, 720P or even poor quality cable TV programs, so the ability to parse low quality video can be said to be extremely important. In this regard, Sony is once again leading.

In the following figure, the Sony Z9D can compare and match the image database with the advanced version of the X1 image processing chip, and can calculate the details of the sky and the actual scene in the screen, and treat the sky as a pure background color or black (late night). A variety of image quality processing actions can be performed on objects that need to be preserved, so that the backlight output of the sky portion can be controlled and optimized for other effective image information.

â–² Sony Z9D VS Samsung KS9800 color gamut
In the color gamut testing section, we used a professional instrument BM-7 (brightness meter) to test the two TVs separately. The measured NTSC color gamut of the Samsung KS9800 reached 95.32%, and the actual NTSC color gamut of the Sony Z9D was 85.66%. From the color gamut comparison chart, the Samsung value is slightly higher, and the color of the green screen is also more intense. However, in reality, it is difficult to see such high saturation colors in real life. Although bright colors make it easier to catch the eye, overly intense colors are often accompanied by too much distortion and distorted images. If you look at restoring the most realistic visual aspect, the Sony Z9D's picture becomes more transparent, and the picture quality is relatively natural and delicate.

In terms of dark field performance, the Sony Z9D's dynamic backlight system can independently control the brightness output of each direct-lit backlight, so the black screen looks darker, deeper and clearer, and the brighter screen is brighter. The performance of the Samsung KS9800 has also reached a very high level compared to the Sony Z9D.

In order to more fully measure the difference between the two TVs, we also introduced the color temperature consistency testing session (color temperature is also an important measure of screen color performance, the closer the line type is to a horizontal line, indicating the more accurate color), respectively tested The color temperature performance of the two TVs under different gray conditions can actually be seen that although the color temperature consistency performance of the Sony Z9D is not perfect, the overall maximum fluctuation is very small and obviously better than the Samsung KS9800.

In addition, the two TVs have different degrees of brightness attenuation after one hour of booting, which is also an inevitable phenomenon of LED backlighting. Compared to Sony's attenuation is relatively small, only about 10cd/m2, Samsung's performance is also relatively good Within 20cd/m2.

Summary: Sony Z9D performed better in all aspects, winning Samsung KS9800.
Subjective test items:
In the subjective testing process, we chose the complete darkroom environment. Ten ordinary consumers are invited to watch the scenes while blocking the two TV Logos. Both TVs play the selected characters and scenery at the same display mode. Different types of videos, such as 2K, 4K, HDR, etc., are compared with the actual presentation effect of the two TVs. Finally, the merits and demerits of the two TVs are assessed by scoring.
â–²Specific scoring results
Summary: Through comprehensive scoring, we see that in the eyes of ordinary consumers, the Samsung KS9800 is more in line with the aesthetics of most people when designing and playing character-related content, but in comparison, the Sony Z9D It is more popular with most consumers in the presentation of landscapes, night scenes, and moving pictures.
Internet entertainment content resources comparison
For today's smart TV users, the most used is the video playback function: can you see the latest blockbusters, TV variety shows, video content can not be synchronized with the TV station is the most concern, so our contrasting section of entertainment content is also very important. For online video content, Sony TV’s partner in terms of content is Huadian, and Samsung TV’s main cooperation is Mango TV, both of which are Internet TV licensees.
â–² Sony Z9D VS Samsung KS9800
Although in the newly released interface, the difference between the two sources is not great, but the actual playback is indeed completely different. Sony's built-in HUAWEI is more real, basically all watch; and many of the latest TVs on Mango TV powered by Samsung KS9800 actually open to see a trailer or a fragment, without any annotation on the interface, is the feature or Fragment.

â–² Sony Z9D VS Samsung KS9800 The latest release of the library content is mostly trailer or fragment excerpt
As one of the largest digital content providers in China, Sony has cooperated with Wada, and has always been known for its powerful content resources in China. Its content covers a wide range of areas and can accommodate the diverse needs of users of different ages, including the general public, children, and the elderly. At the same time, this year, in cooperation with Sohu Video, Sony TV users can enjoy the high-quality contents of Sohu Video by entering the “Flying Fox†area, including its consistently strong US drama resources, high-quality domestic dramas, and entertainment programs. The resources of Mango TV are actually mainly Hunan Satellite TV's content resources, and they are younger. In terms of film resources, it is still very limited, and there are few new films. It is difficult to meet the preferences of users of different ages.
â–² Sony Z9D TV has flying fox and documentary area quality resources more
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.

In addition, both TVs have a dedicated 4K, Dolby area 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 type. The user can select the corresponding source according to the network conditions and the display device.
â–² comparison of various areas
â–² Comparison of source selection interface
In the ordinary video playback test, we tested a lot of video, the Samsung KS9800 basically only SD and high-definition optional, and Sony has a more Blu-ray definition options, compared to the screen effect and clarity is better.
â–² Sony Z9D ordinary movie sharper
Overall, the Sony Z9D has more advantages in the quality and quantity of the film source, and is suitable for consumers who like to watch movies, documentaries and other contents. The Samsung KS9800 built Mango TV, backed by Hunan Satellite TV, has a lot of exclusive variety and drama resources, for fans of mango Taiwan is still a good choice.
Smart application and operational experience comparison
Although both Sony and Samsung are high-end representatives in the television field, it can be said that there have been shortcomings in the system and smart applications. The previous products still have a certain gap compared to the domestic Internet brand smart TVs, especially the system fluency and Operational convenience.
Today's comparison of the two TVs, Sony Z9D uses a deep customization of the Android system, Samsung KS9800 uses a self-developed Tizen system, the two TV's UI interface is also their own style has always been adhering to, the system fluency and aesthetic aspects of the two There is almost no difference.
â–² Sony Z9D VS Samsung KS9800 system UI interface comparison
Sony's remote control still maintains the traditional multi-button design, reducing the user's learning costs, and it is worth mentioning that because Sony Z9D uses a more advanced Android 6.0 system, it can be compatible with a variety of handles, keyboards, mouse Even mobile phone remote control is more open to operation, users can also choose according to their own operating habits and preferences; Samsung's remote control design is relatively simple, fewer keys, may be for new users, it takes a certain time to adapt.
â–² Comparison of Sony Z9D VS Samsung KS9800 Remote Control
Games and applications are also essential for smart TVs. Sony Z9D has built-in Android system, so it can be installed and run more programs. The actual experience has also confirmed this. Sony Z9D built-in application store, the number of applications and practicality are better than the Samsung KS9800 TV.
In terms of games, the Sony Z9D provides 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, Samsung Smart TV has always been the problem of its lack of applications, and we have seen in this update of the system, although the Samsung KS9800 application is still not particularly large, basically covers some of the mainstream lifestyle , entertainment, casual games and other applications. However, due to the third-party APP, the overall interface of the application store is quite different from the external UI. When the main interface is switched in, it will be more abrupt. If further improvement can be made, UI and details will be used. Optimization, I believe there will be a better experience.

Comparison of evaluation conclusions: Here, our evaluation is considered to have come to an end, nonsense does not say, directly to the conclusion.
Appearance comparison: Samsung's stylish and lightweight Sony shows the atmosphere
First of all, from the appearance of the two TV design features, Sony Z9D is more calm atmosphere, angular borders, low-key luxury color, workmanship is more sophisticated, solid, consistent with the Japanese-style aesthetics of the minimalist and tradesman spirit. Samsung KS9800 curved screen has a thinner body, a more narrow frame and split design, it looks young and fashionable, no wonder it has gained more popular consumer judges.
Quality comparison: Sony beat Samsung to win victory
In the most important quality testing session, the Sony Z9D can be said to have won a big victory, in addition to a little more than a little color gamut range Samsung KS9800, in other highlights, including brightness, brightness and dark details, color temperature consistency and brightness attenuation links and other highlights The important aspects of quality performance are easy to overcome. It can be said that the new technology has helped it significantly widen the gap with its competitors, becoming the best TV that surpasses the times, and far from the flagship models of other brands.
Video & Control Contrast: Sony's Massive Resource Control
Contrast with video entertainment resources, 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 and other contents. At the same time, rich game resources also extend the living room entertainment. The Samsung KS9800 built Mango TV, Hunan Satellite TV has the main broadcast variety and drama resources, for fans of mango Taiwan is still a good choice.
In terms of smart applications and operating experience, the difference between the two TVs is not great. The Samsung KS9800 has better control, and the Sony Z9D uses the Android system to make it more accessible in terms of the number of programs, ease of use, extensibility, and gaming experience. Advantage.
Comprehensive performance of the two TVs, in the case of little price difference, there is no doubt that I will recommend a better picture quality, design more simple and generous, richer content of the Sony Z9D TV. As the center of entertainment in the living room, the quality and content have always been the two most important demands of the TV. A good picture quality can make the content shine, and a good content makes the picture quality target.
