Samsung The Premiere 9: what it gives up

  • No Dolby Vision — Samsung does not license it on any of its displays
  • Samsung publishes no contrast figure for this model
  • 60 Hz, and no input-lag figure is published
  • $5,932 before the ambient-light-rejecting screen it needs
  • Tizen is a licensed television platform, but it is Samsung's own — the app set is narrower than Google TV's

AWOL Vision LTV-3500 Pro: what it gives up

  • 2,200:1 native contrast is the lowest measured figure in this catalog
  • HDMI 2.0 and 60 Hz, a step back from the cheaper LTV-3000 Pro's 120 Hz path
  • $5,499 is flagship money from a brand with a small service footprint
  • AWOL publishes no fan-noise figure
