That's the big problem with Vizio, you get what you pay for. On Vizio low-end, they're one of the least reliable televisions out there. They have made strides on their top of the line quantum series, though.
Yes, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus; however, it's unfair for me to compare it to phones with local dimming, because I've never seen such a phone.
My mother would probably research DSE and learn what to look for.
The next scene is about how highlights are dimmer on the Samsung so the cameras exposure level has very likely been lowered so not to blow out the white portions of the stone, and this will make the grayer blacks harder to spot. But it's STILL showing more raised shadow details in the rock wall if you look closely. I trust Vincents word here as I've seen the worse Game mode dimming on my previous Q900 with my own eyes. It was plain to me when I switched game mode on and of that the dimming was worse in generally dark scenes. Never seen that happen on my Sony's.That's more a blueish haze than grey blacks shown there, the very next scene doesn't shows any "grey" blacks.
I don't have HZD so there might be something specific about that game because generally, the blacks are generally black in game mode to me. I have the LG CX too so I know what perfect blacks look like.
HDTVTest and Stop the Fomo aren't fans of the Q950TS judging from their reviews though FOMO has warmed up a little more to it after seeing Lawrence of Arabia on it.
I'd like to see what picture settings he's using, the shadow detail setting of the Q950TS can make shadows darker without dimming the rest of the screen and I use -2 since otherwise the shadows indeed look a bit too bright for my taste.
