Our Verdict

Samsung QN90F

Sony BRAVIA 5

The Samsung QN90F is significantly better than the Sony BRAVIA 5. The Samsung TV delivers much better picture quality, with deeper, more uniform blacks, and there's less distracting haloing around bright areas. The QN90F is also significantly brighter. HDR content benefits the most from this difference, and it's far more vibrant and realistic on the Samsung. Small, specular highlight details stand out better, and bright scenes are more impactful.
