The Peak Luminance setting helps make the TV brighter, but it also causes the variation in brightness, so if you choose to disable it, there isn't any ABL, but the screen is a lot dimmer: If you set Gamma to '-2' the brightness increases slightly to 360 nits. These results are in the 'Custom' Picture Mode after calibration with the Brightness at its max, Contrast at its default of '90', Color Temperature set to 'Expert 1', Gamma on '0', and Peak Luminance on 'High'. Letting the TV cool down a bit results in the higher peak brightness, but if you're using it for a long period and it's warm, it will likely be dimmer. However, we measured the Real Scene brightness after letting the TV cool down enough following the peak brightness, and this resulted in an increased brightness of about 70 nits. We tested it again in an air-conditioned room at about 73 F (23 C), and it didn't change the brightness results in the individual windows compared to our original testing. If you leave a static image on the screen while gaming, the brightness drops about 30-40 nits after a few minutes, but it isn't noticeable, and it isn't an issue if the content on the screen is constantly changing. Also, the SDR brightness dims over time, notably in Game Mode. It also has an aggressive Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL) that causes larger areas of bright colors to appear dimmer, which can be problematic while watching sports like hockey or basketball. It gets bright enough to fight glare from a few dim light sources, but considering the raised black level issue in well-lit rooms, it's better to use this in a dark or dim room. The Sony A95K has decent SDR peak brightness, but it isn't as bright overall as the Samsung S95B OLED. We added a note that the white balance difference is somewhat expected, as Sony targets a different white point when calibrating their displays at the factory. Retested the SDR Real Scene Brightness after letting the TV cool down a bit after testing the brightness slides, which results in a slightly brighter image. We uploaded the initial brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test. Updated to Test Bench 1.9, modifying our Contrast testing and splitting our local dimming testing into multiple sections covering Blooming, Black Crush, and Lighting Zone Transitions. With this update we've revamped our Gradient testing, added a new test for Low Quality Content Smoothing, and expanded our Audio Passthrough testing. We bought and tested the Samsung S95C OLED, and we've added a few relevant comparisons to the review below.Ĭonverted to Test Bench 1.10.
We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for four months in our Accelerated Longevity Test.
