Dude, he is a full array zealot. The only time I've been less than impressed with my tv is if it's a fully black screen. If you look at the rtings site they give the nod to Samsung, though it's biggest hit does come from less ideal local dimming. Nano crystal displays with HDR > than just great local dimming, apparently. Being able to use hdr with gaming should help a lot, I hope. I do know that watching hdr content is pretty spectacular compared to standard 4k.
Or you can go with Val's obviously still awesome choice. Val does seem to go whole hog with his preferences, though.
It seems that if you are torn, you'd just have to try and do a side by side. Not being able to use a cool feature like hdr for games is a shame though.
Yeah I'm not really torn, I know they both present their own advantages and disadvantages but I'm almost 100% going with the Samsung.
