Samsung’s alleged cheating was discovered because of the way the benchmark software works, by focusing on 10% of the screen to test HDR TVs, when FlatpanelsHD changed the benchmark area to 9%, they could bypass the so-called algorithm and get an accurate score. According to FlatpanelsHD’s report, it’s impossible to maintain this level of brightness during normal use without damaging the TV’s backlight. The allegations allege that Samsung allegedly used an algorithm to detect when benchmarking software was running on the TV, and adjusted colors and artificially increased brightness by as much as 80 percent during testing to make the device look better in reviews.

Now, the company has been caught cheating on TV benchmarks again.Ī review editor at HDTVTest first spotted the benchmark cheating issue with the Samsung S95B QD-OLED TV, and FlatpanelsHD has confirmed that the issue also exists in Samsung’s Neo QLED LCD TV.
