Yes... edge-lit is a form of back lighting... because the light is guided... diffused... and reflected forward from BEHIND the LCD.... You don't get to talk only about where the bulbs are and not where the light is reflected from... sorry buddy...

Guess your source is too

Jehurey literally posting this shit "Edge-lit BLACKLIGHT" Shows EXACTLY why it's backlighting lol... Jerry, I'm asking you to just please stop. This is gone on far too long already

Exactly. The ONLY reason it's around the perimeter is to more EVENLY spread that light source across the mechanism BEHIND the LCD panel to direct that light FORWARD. Dude... you can't just talk about bulbs... when you ALREADY KNOW there's other ELEMENTS in the lighting mechanism...... cmon dude lmao

No... sorry. The MECHANISM for lighting the LCD pixels uses lighting from around the perimeter of the display to direct the lighting as evenly as possible BEHIND the LCD panel, and redirects that light FORWARD. It's NOT being lit from the side... it's being lit from behind.

Damn, they're trying to copy RDR2 with that cinematic horse riding camera. Not going to lie... I love shit like that

It's backlighting. The LCD panel is lit from behind and light is projected forward... stop being stupid ffs

Jesus Christ... is there actually an argument going on about whether an LCD TV is backlit or not? They ALL are backlit...

You JUST stated that I couldn't compare images RTINGS have taken with the same equipment, same methodology, and same lighting environment.... but yet your pictures of your completely different camera, completely different settings, completely different lighting environment... is supposed to definitively prove that your TV shits on a Q90R in game mode?

It's going to be a worthless comparison, and you know it.. lmao.

HDR+RT > Linux

Except in the case of your TV... the blacks aren't really black. And the blacks with 5% grey (which was important, and why I posted them because there has to be SOME light) show that difference. In a dark room with a dark scene... your TV will look like the 5%, and so will the Q90R... without FALD. The contrast ratio doesn't tell the whole story... which is my point.

No. The whole Game Mode point is understood... You're not arguing about Game Mode... you're arguing the difference between two images RTINGS posted in their reviews as a comparison. You were the one that compared them on RTINGs... I'm simply showing you the images they took and stating that they don't line up with the REALITY of the measurements.

Yes... it is.

LMAO dude... I know exactly what the conversation is about. You're the one that is getting defensive and taking things the wrong way... lmao. I already fucking stated what you were speaking about in this very post RIGHT before all this........ Except YOU and I are NOT talking about Game Mode... we're talking about contrast ratios and what and how they affect what you see... and how your comparison isn't accurate. You can't just look at a checkerboard image and measure contrast ratio and be done with it. That's like looking at an SSD's sequential transfer speed and s

Nah, that's native contrast without FALD. They separated them. FALD would have those blacks MUCH darker.

Q90R Black Uniformity without FALD Q90R with FALD Having deep blacks is absolutely pertinent and important for PERCEIVED contrast... not simply measured.

Except that it's pertinent because LCDs without local dimming simply can't produce the deep blacks and they can't do it uniformly across the screen... which means that blacks look more like dark grey. If your darkest black is a dark grey, then regardless of your measured contrast ratio you're not going to perceive a huge effective contrast in dark scenes. There's a reason why FALD exists. Look at the contrast comparison images: KS8000 Q90R It certainly doesn't appear that one has 2x the contrast of the other, does it?

Fuck that. Just keep active and eat what you want and yes.. omfg rice and beans

The Q90R is a far brighter screen than what you have though... which affects perceived contrast ratio. Also, edge lit displays can appear more grey regardless of the contrast ratio. It's not as clear cut as you'd think. KS8000 Q90R

I think he was just telling you that the FALD issue that the QLED Samsung has when in Game Mode doesn't really affect his TV as much because it doesn't have FALD. It has a higher native contrast ratio without FALD, so Game Mode wouldn't degrade the picture any. That said... comparing RTINGS scores across TVs and generations of TVs isn't a good idea. As much as they try to compensate for their methodologies and analysis technology changing, you're likely not getting accurate representation in older sets.

As much as I love love LOVE potatoes... in my household they'd have to go.

Oh definitely. It's very obvious with subtitles and in some scenes, especially when comparing directly to an OLED. OLEDs understandably handle small fast moving lights far better than FALD LCDs can at the moment or likely ever will... but I think LCDs will get to the point where the contrast and dimming will be good and fast enough, that it wont be the main deciding factor between choosing between panel types. Being able to hit the peak brightness will be all too important in the future going forward I think. Yea, it's not quite there yet, but in a few years they will begin to c

With FALD, LCD already can achieve great contrast ratio...essentially perfect blacks at this point. Of course FALD has its own issues, mostly with the first models with low zone counts... but the more zones you have those issues go away. 1000+ zones? You're not going to be able to tell or see really any halo-ing.. and you're going to get amazing contrast and amazing brightness. OLEDs are amazing, I'm not knocking them... but in the future, MicroLEDs will replace them, unless they evolve somehow. Mini/MicroLED LCD TVs can scale far bigger, can be much brighter... which is import
