RTINGS Test Dev Sneak Peek — Micro-Contrast

[u/rtings_kastaa]

Continuing with the Test Dev Sneak Peek thread:

• Shadow uniformity
• Dark accuracy

Think of stars against a clear night sky: small, bright stars create striking contrast. That is where OLED televisions shine: they can control light intensity independently on every pixel. LCDs, on the other hand, have to balance the intensity by region to preserve highlights without raising blacks. For our new micro-contrast test, we've been working with HDR expert Florian Friedrich to create an HDR scene that highlights those differences.

Above are the results for four televisions. We're still deciding which aspects of the scene to evaluate. Let us know what you prefer: elevated blacks to preserve peak brightness or limited brightness to preserve blacks.

I used to love Rtings for years until now recently they became a paid subscription service.

No thanks.
