Which OLED smart TV is stronger? Xiao Bian made a horizontal comparison review of Skyworth TV S9300 and Sony TV X9000C, which are currently high-performance, and introduced them from aspects of body design, picture quality, content resources, and operating systems. All along, when it comes to high-definition television, our first reaction will always be Japanese brands such as Sony and Sharp. Regardless of research and development capabilities or the pursuit of quality, Japanese brands in the television industry today are indeed worthy of respect. The persistence of the Japanese created its loyal fans, but there are also some negative examples in the history. During the technological transition of LCD and plasma, Sony had constrained its own advancement because of its excessive dependence on Trinitron.
In fact, the current TV industry is at the mouth of another technological upgrade. The acknowledged “next-generation display technology†OLED camp is rapidly expanding. Today, we want to discuss which OLEDs and high-end LCD TVs are more NB. One of the protagonists is the Skyworth 55S9300, which represents the OLED camp; the other protagonist is Sony's 55X9000C. In the hearts of everyone, Sony's high-end TV and OLED contrast, enough suspense, right?

PS: The most important content of this article is the comparison of picture quality. So in the evaluation, I mentioned it to the front. After watching the appearance and price of the two TVs, we directly enter the show. The content outside the picture quality will be in the second. Three pages.
In the publicity page of the TV, we often see suppliers of products including LCD panels, color gamuts, dynamic optimization, and various kinds of image processing technologies that cannot be understood or understood. From this year on, the color gamut This word gradually appeared in many domestic TV introduction pages, so the comparison of the picture quality started with color.
Gamut testing, OLED technology is more successful
The range of color gamut is the quantifiable comparison basis in color. According to the actual test of BM7 colorimeter, the color gamut of Sony X9000C is 85.4% of NTSC. For a TV with extreme thinness as the selling point, this result Extremely good, he did not compromise the color gamut because of the limitation of the body size, so the X9000C is not responsible for Sony's Terri Color Wide Color Gamut technology.
From the perspective of the on-site sensory images, the Skyworth S9300 has played a high-gamut, high-saturation color performance, and it can be clearly seen that the S9300 is rich in color, which greatly renders the atmosphere of the film. Sony X9000C is a fresh and natural color expression style. For color, everyone has different aesthetics. They like to be refreshed and elegant or saturated. It depends on everyone's needs.
For many game and movie lovers, dynamic performance is definitely the focus of everyone's attention. This is why there is still a small part of people who insist on using plasma TVs in their homes, and they are reluctant to replace thin, power-saving LCDs. When OLED arrived, this part of people can skip the LCD directly to the OLED camp.
Dynamic testing, LCD technology barriers are insurmountable
The dynamic test is still the selection of high-definition test strips. This high-speed train scene is extremely harsh on the dynamic effects of the test. The test results show that the self-luminous characteristics of OLED pixels show an overwhelming advantage. S9300 easily expresses smooth, clear, jitter-free motion images that may not be displayed on any LCD TV. Even the third-stage train movement can The characters in the window are clearly restored and the effect is stunning.
Dynamic effect screen shot video slow release (reduced effect and its limited, only reference)
The X9000C is not regarded as the best dynamic product among Sony products. Even so we can still see a clear image of the first train body. However, further examination shows that the window parts that are harsh on dynamic performance show slight The blur caused by jitter. As for the last segment of the train sports, the ultra-high dynamic performance of OLED's ultra-fast response has left the X9000C far behind, and the Skyworth S9300 has taken the lead in absolute advantage. This is probably because LCD TVs cannot be optimized anyway. The progress of panel structure determines OLEDs. The perfect dynamic picture.
Light control contrasts OLED self-luminescence technology again
"Backlight" control is the most obvious expression in the above figure, because the test chart is not entirely black. The brightness information on the black background controls the TV to completely turn off the backlight in the area, so it is more testable for the ability of the TV to control the backlight. From the last detail, you can see that even if the S9300 exposure time is higher than the X9000C, the white lines show perfect black expression because of shooting flooding, and on the Sony side, the four corners and the bottom edge The backlight area has a different degree of light leakage.
The reason is that each sub-pixel of the OLED TV S9300 can emit light independently, creating a more perfect black image. When expressing black, the corresponding pixels are turned off so that they do not emit light. The LCD TV needs to control the liquid crystal deflection to “block†the backlight through the panel, and the backlight behind the LCD cannot be closed for a certain area. This advantage is manifested in the fact that the black and white edges of the picture appear pure black when playing movies, and there is no “white†or “gray†overflow.
Comparison of picture quality: From the perspective of the entire picture quality testing section, although the imaging colors of the two styles have their merits, we do not evaluate the subjective colors, and the backlight, dynamic test, etc. can only have the "good or bad" points of the test link, Skyworth S9300 TV More OLED panel technology advantages are more reserved, pure black and no light leakage screen, and no visible smear, dynamic expression of jitter is the OLED has always advocated "beyond the LCD era" the best evidence.
Skyworth OLED contrast Sony X9000C appearance
The technical form of Skyworth S9300 and Sony X9000C is different, but the positioning is indeed very similar. Both TVs are new in the price segment of about 15,000 yuan (Jingdong Mall Skyworth 55S9300 price 14999, Sony 55X9000C price 15999), and are all ultra-thin The body and high picture quality are the main products.
All have been light and thin as the main material materials are different
In terms of appearance, Sony X9000C's style can be summarized with true, minimalist and true slim. So far all the 55-inch flat-panel TVs with LED backlight have not reached the limit of 4.9mm. Compared with another player, Skyworth S9300, its thickness is 5.2mm, and the margin of several tenths of millimeters on the book data is unknown. Can you find out whether you can see it in actual comparison? Let's take a look at the picture below.

Core interface configuration, Sony X9000C provides 4 HDMI (Sony official information is not labeled HDMI2.0) and 3 USB (including a USB3.0), Skyworth S9300 lack of contrast in the number of interfaces, providing 3 HDMI2.0 and 2 USB (including a USB3.0), but it also has an SD card reader slot to support digital camera memory card, there are advantages at the application level.
Skyworth OLED contrast Sony X9000C remote control configuration
Sony's spec sheet does not mention the configuration of the TV SOC. In fact, I do not recommend that you pay too much attention to the TV configuration. The TV operation is not dragged and the decoding performance is adequate. Therefore, we only evaluate the USB decoding performance.
The results showed that both TVs perfectly supported 60-frame H.265-encoded 4K video. This is already the latest 4K video format, indicating that the SOC architecture of the two TVs is very cutting-edge. In other video formats, the X9000C does not support WMA audio decoding, and the S9300 is also in the WMV video decoding situation, but he has blocked the video that cannot be decoded in the system.

Comparing and summarizing: As far as this evaluation model is concerned, Skyworth S9300 can lead the Sony X9000C with clear advantages in backlight control and dynamic effects. This is the technological weakness determined by the structure of the LCD panel used by Sony X9000C, unless OLED panel is adopted. Otherwise there is no chance of reversing the test results. The S9300 can be said to have broken the long-standing technical glory of Japan's outstanding television picture quality. Skyworth, with its rapport with upstream panel suppliers, has already led the industry to include 1080P and 4K at the beginning of the technology life cycle where OLED TVs have not yet reached popularity. As well as flagship 4K OLED products supporting high dynamic range technology, there is currently a product lineup with industry-leading OLED TVs, and OLED will lead Skyworth’s all-out flagship TV market with high-quality, ultra-thin technology.

For a TV with extreme thinness as the selling point, this result Extremely good, he did not compromise the color gamut because of the limitation of the body size, so the X9000C is not responsible for Sony's Terri Color Wide Color Gamut technology.
Skyworth here because of the three primary colors of OLED self-luminous reasons, high purity backlight makes his color gamut reached NTSC86.2%, the data above the Sony X9000C. Judging from the displayable color of the television in the color gamut, the S9300 OLED TV color is definitely more abundant than the X9000C. The X9000C, which surpasses the Sony Tili charm color technology, demonstrates the technical strength of Skyworth OLED.

The advantage of OLED technology is that "backlight" can be turned off
"Backlight" (actually OLED does not have a backlight, the self-luminous feature can individually control the backlight of a certain area completely off)
The reason is that each sub-pixel of the OLED TV S9300 can emit light independently, creating a more perfect black image. When expressing black, the corresponding pixels are turned off so that they do not emit light.

Can you find out whether you can see it in actual comparison? Let's take a look at the picture below.
Thickness details
After comparing the thickness data, we look at the appearance of the process and modeling, Sony X9000C machine almost only black metal frame and inverted V-type base, is a simple modern style, capable, but not luxury, especially in terms of the S9300.

Core interface configuration, Sony X9000C provides 4 HDMI (Sony official information is not labeled HDMI2.0) and 3 USB (including a USB3.0), Skyworth S9300 lack of contrast in the number of interfaces, providing 3 HDMI2.0 and 2 USB (including a USB3.0), but it also has an SD card reader slot to support digital camera memory card, there are advantages at the application level.
Skyworth OLED contrast Sony X9000C remote control configuration
Compared to the configuration of the remote control, the Sony X9000C provides a touch control and a multi-button traditional remote control. The touch remote control supports voice and touch operations. The huge touch area occupies half of the remote control area. Due to the occupation of the touch area, it may not have a common menu such as an input source or a set button, and it may be more efficient for the conventional remote controller to perform the above operations.
Skyworth S9300's remote controller is a mainstream type of comfortable grip configuration. Although there is no huge touch area with Sony, this remote controller is also a combination of voice and air mouse (using the arrow keys to simulate) functions and functions. In place, the common simple version remote controller is almost all these functional layouts.
I personally think that the quality of the remote control is not enough to determine the advantages and disadvantages of TV control. System optimization is more important for the difficulty of getting started with TV. In this regard, Sony's smart TV comes later than Skyworth and all TV brands in China. , so some "weird" settings at the system level can hinder the interaction.
For example, the Sony X9000C needs to go through several boot steps when it comes to networking. The simple thing to connect to WiFi is to even tell whether you are a master (expert) or a novice (simple). For example, the WiFi password interface is switched between uppercase, lowercase, English, and Chinese, all of which are set to cycle in one button. The layout of the Jiugong format keyboard under each interface is even more convenient than the touchpad remote controller using the numeric keypad remote controller.

The X9000C is the first member of Sony's 15-year-old robot to use the Android smart system. Its UI interface has Sony products that are always succinct, sophisticated features, but the function is also the kind of concise supreme style of joint venture brands.

Its UI interface has Sony products that are always succinct, sophisticated features, but the function is also the kind of concise supreme style of joint venture brands.
Two TV system experiences
The Sony X9000 system UI icon is tiled horizontally and vertically on the main interface. The first row is the system application and the latest resource recommendation, followed by a full row of input source selection buttons. If you watch the Internet video through the on-demand platform, it is indispensable to enter the WCDMA APP a few times after powering on. All X9000C software is laid out on the home page, but the software is the most frequently used content for TV applications. This kind of system structure will make the user feel a bit overwhelmed.
Skyworth S9300 is a minimalist UI, and each one is as simple as possible to simplify the layout. For example, the default first entry of the homepage is video on demand, which corresponds to the Geek Max platform in the menu. In addition, the location of the application cursor is very close to the entry point of the application. As for the infrequent operation contents such as the signal source and menus, the home page presses the left arrow key to bring up the hidden menu, and usually does not interfere with the home page.

Comparison of system resources We use the movie as an example. The Sony X9000C can see recent mainstream sources such as secret agents, burning sun scorches, priests down, pancakes, Doomsday collapse, Jurassic world.
In terms of Skyworth, its partner Tencent Video App covers Secret Agents, Nine Demon Towers, Burning Hearts, and Catching Demonstrations. By contrast, the difference in the degree of movie update between the two TVs is not large.
