FAQs

Is the X90J good enough? ›

The X90J is one of the best LED-LCD televisions by Sony from 2021. Thanks to the 10-bits panel and Full Array Local Dimming, you can view images with a realistic color representation and a high contrast.

4K UHD PICTURE QUALITY Overall 4K UHD picture quality was Very Good, overall. In our UHD testing, we played native-4K movies and test videos (non HDR) thru the TV's HDMI input, and found their image detail was all there. For color, contrast and black level, the TV performed similarly to its HD picture quality.

The main differences come down to contrast and motion i.e. picture quality. OLEDs can offer true blacks (more on that later) and therefore exceptional contrast. As a result, it's widely believed OLEDs offer the best quality viewing. The only drawback is that you pay more for the cinematic privilege.

The Sony X90J is a great TV for most uses. It's best suited for watching movies and HDR content due to its high contrast ratio, great full-array local dimming, and high HDR brightness. It has low input lag, a fast response time, VRR support, and a 120Hz refresh rate, making it a great choice for gaming.

OLED TVs are capable of producing the most realistic picture quality possible on a TV right now while Full Array TVs have the best picture quality possible on an LED TV. One of the key considerations when choosing between an OLED TV and a Full Array TV is budget.

However, Sony's LED models are far better than LG's because they get brighter, have better uniformity, and usually have better contrast. As a rule of thumb, it's pretty hard to go wrong when buying a Sony TV, especially if you don't need it for competitive gaming.

Samsung is popular for its QLED technology, leveraging quantum dots to improve brightness and colour fidelity. On the other hand, Sony is renowned for its OLED TVs, as these models deliver deep blacks and an unrivalled contrast ratio.

Televisions: 4-6 years

With the rapid changes in the way video is transmitted to your TVs and the ever-increasing resolution jumps (4k-8k-16k!), TVs start to show their age around the 5-year mark. Time to failure is typically 8-11 years or about 50,000 hours of use.

TVs with XR Processor™ recognise that focal point and enhance that part of the image, just as our eyes do in the real world. So, there's more depth to the player with the football or the main character, and scoreboards become easier to see.

Our Verdict. The Sony X95J is slightly better than the Sony X90J. The X95J has much better reflection handling, better viewing angles, and a better local dimming feature. The X95J is also much brighter, and small highlights stand out better in HDR.

Is the X90J worth it over X85J? ›

The X90J has a full array local dimming feature that can improve contrast and reduce blooming in dark scenes, but the X85J has better native contrast and a flicker-free backlight. The X90J is brighter in HDR and HDR content displays at the correct brightness.

The A90J is an OLED TV that delivers better picture quality because it has a near-infinite contrast ratio, and it can produce perfect blacks by turning the pixels off.

It also has a faster response time and wider viewing angles, making it a better option for video games and sports. However, if you're worried about permanent burn-in, the X90J is a great all-around TV with a fantastic contrast ratio, and it gets significantly brighter.
