So the 32 that shouldnt be curved is, the 43 where a curve is more practical ends up flat, good job Samsung.

It's really spot on, on the average, if you think about it.

Not mentioned, so probably the bare minimum (~500).

Fwiw it's VA panel and it's listed as a curved monitor. Although it looks flat and it's not really a monitor if it's Tizen-powered.
im super happy overall with my qn90a. even tho its somewhat the bare minimum it still does an amazing job with real world content and the fact that it has hdr10+ support is actually game changer, so you can actually use the display to its full potential not just as a desktop display/gaming.

im not sure i would prefer 1000+ zones ips over 500 VA, would need to compare side by side. Im guessing i would prefer the 500 VA option cause i just hate ips.

So the 32 that shouldnt be curved is, the 43 where a curve is more practical ends up flat, good job Samsung.
the thing is that this is actually multipurpose, you can not only game on it but watch movies with a high end panel. if it was curved it would kinda ruin it

if anyone that reads this has a hdr10+ display, look for a hdr10+ bluray/remux, and you will understand what i mean.

HDR10+ means roughly squat, that's just a format for the input data, it has no relation to what you see on the screen.

The question is not how 500 zones on a VA panel compares to 1,000+ zones on IPS. It's how it compares to OLED's perfect dimming. You are right that you have to see it first, but it's night-and-day, no exaggeration.

i really dont think you know what hdr10+ does.


i know how it compares to oled, and i prefer a good qled over most oleds (lg, sony, etc) with the exception of panasonics because they drive the display brightness to levels other vendors dont. Thing is you cant use oled for desktop if you want them to last more than 1-2 years without burn ins.

now qdoled vs qled considering prices of qdoled have come down i would probably go for them instead of qled if i were to exclusively use it for movies/tv

Maybe, if he knew he would have said it does jack shit instead of roughly squat :D


HDR10+ is really just metadata about the dinamic range of each frame, it says nothing about the capabilities of the monitor to actually display that frame as it is intended.

I'd even go as far as to say it would be better if it didn't support HDR10+ at all, since it can't display it anyway then it wouldn't confuse people into trying it thinking they're getting anything remotely close to HDR performance

you clearly have never tried it, the difference between static metadata and 10+ can be insane especially if done with scene by scene grading

That is true. But having the ability to read input HDR10+ doesn't mean the monitor has the ability to output HDR in a meaningful way. For output, there's a different certification (DisplayHDR).
There is HDR10+ support on anything from proper OLED screens to lousy DisplayHDR400 certified monitors that have actually no ability to display HDR at all. While nobody would to that, it is technically possible to build a monitor that can read HDR10+ input that only outputs 256 colors, that's how little correlation is there between the input format and what you see on the screen.

The difference will be insane especially when the monitor clips everything randomly because it has no chance of ever being able to display the content correctly
