It’s only in dark scenes that the XE93 truly lost out to the ZD9. As mentioned before, the former’s top-bottom edge LED implementation not only prevented letterbox bars in scope films to be darkened completely, but also caused vertical chunks of halos to become visible around bright objects against a black backdrop. Meanwhile, the KD65ZD9′s 648 segments of individually dimmable zones helped the TV maintain deep blacks and curb haloing/ blooming more effectively. Of course, the gap would lessen in a non-pitch black environment, but for most videophiles the Z9D’s superiority in dark-scene rendition would not go unnoticed.”
