I'm looking forward to checking out QD-OLED TVs like the A95K and Samsung's S95B in my lab, with my own material, and the opportunity to measure and compare them against LG's latest 2022 OLED TVs. Sony's engineers claimed the QD-OLED does a better job in near-black shadows, but none of their demos showed it as far as I noticed. It's worth mentioning that highlights didn't look appreciably better on the QD-OLED, and shadow detail between the two was also similar. Seen from extreme angles the QD-OLED (foreground) maintained color fidelity a bit better than the standard OLED (far right). The latter difference impaired the QD-OLED's contrast under bright lights but wasn't an issue under dark, home theater-style lighting.

The skin tone in one scene was a bit closer to the reference on the A90J, and the screen of the A90J rejected more ambient light than that of the A95K, which had a grayer, not-exactly-black finish. Also, Sony's demos highlighted the A95K's strengths, but I still caught a couple of weaknesses where the older, non QD-OLED actually looked better. It's an 'early prototype,' so the final shipping version could be different.

Based on Sony's demo, I'd say QD-OLED TVs like the A95K have the potential to outperform 'regular' OLED models from Sony as well as from other TV makers like LG.īut here's the caveat: Sony says the A95K it used in the demo isn't a production version. The QD-OLED also showed slightly smoother treatment of film grain, which Sony's engineers claimed was a benefit of the way QD-OLED creates light. I saw slightly better fidelity from extreme off-angle on the A95K - the A90J showed more color shift as I moved to the extreme edges, away from dead center - but you'd have to have a really crappy seat on the couch to notice.

Differences in other colors were less obvious, but my overall impression was that QD-OLED did indeed have better color. The most remarkable difference I saw was deeper, more saturated color of red, for example a woman's dress and buildings at night, on the QD-OLED.

They played a series of the same test patterns and video on all three displays simultaneously, similar to how I review TVs. Sony engineers showed me a 65-inch A95K set up next to an A90J, the company's best 2021 OLED TV, as well as Sony's professional-grade OLED reference monitor. I finally got the chance to see QD-OLED in person, and it seems to deliver on that promise. Using this new screen technology, Sony promises improved color and viewing angle compared to current, conventional OLED TVs - which already deliver the best picture quality on the market. Sony's QD-OLED TV, the A95K series, is hands-down the most anticipated television of Sony's 2022 lineup (which has a lot of new high-end features and picture quality extras, from a remote finder to mini-LED backlights). But based on what I saw during a private demo in New York last month, I can say it's shaping up to be a strong contender. I'm not ready to declare Sony's QD-OLED the best TV ever.
