Re: Potentially low MPRT on many 4K and 8K Samsung QLED TVs (lots of RTINGS BFI Test image comparisons)

I have no practical way to do quality pursuit shots at the moment. However motion clarity on the QN90D has been discussed in this topic not just by me. And do remember that it is highly dependent on how low the brightness is set to (brightness control = backlight pulse width control).
-At 60hz Game Mode, toggling LED Clear Motion at max brightness already yields a level of motion clarity close enough to 400hz/fps, and lowering the brightness further increases motion clarity. Meaning that at 100nits SDR brightness levels, the motion clarity is as good as it gets in a modern TV.
-At 120hz, there is no toggling of a BFI mode but lowering the brightness backlight controls pulse width so in the end it works the same.
There is strobe crosstalk (room temperature dependent), but it is a small price to pay for the motion clarity increase, which is almost unheard of in a TV, let alone one that offers such performance in picture quality.
So, I expect my incoming QN95D to work the same, and hopefully it works even better as its CAD test results were noticeably better on RTINGS. Hopefully, variation between samples is moderate.
It's a shame that the R95H doesn't keep up, I was not planning on being an early adopter of RGB Mini-LED anyway, but seeing the downgrade in its strobing mode makes me glad to have those peak "CRT alternative" regular Mini-LEDs with a glossy finish.
