Well at last I am beginning to lean towards the purchase of one of these in favour of the Samsung offerings particularly after the atrocious experience I had today when I phoned them to try and clarify the anomaly in the QE49Q85T product description and specification as discussed in my other thread. I trust a Samsung employee sees this and reports this to his management.
However to the point.
What advantages would I see in purchasing the XH9505 over the XG9005?
The price differential is only £210 ( new not refurb) and both are thus cheaper than even the Q80T and within my budget.
My concerns with these models are:-
Operating system - reports of slow and clunky operation. I cannot understand this when I find no problem with Android phones and tablets. Is this better on this years model?
Viewing angle and reflections again is their a difference?
Dolby Vision whilst I am not sure if any of my present sources use this there are several reports of it causing a marked picture darkening on the XG9005 to the extent that several users have enquired as to how to turn Dolby Vision off! How does the XH9505 perform in this respect?
Several tests comment on Black levels not being maintained in a moving bright object against a black background test (Comet Tails ). Is this better on the XH9505?
I think the stand on both models is ugly.
I think I can now discount any concerns I had regarding upscaling as it appears that this will be done externally to the TV by my input sources.
Is it worth spending the additional£210?
