Sony X90L vs Samsung Q80D QLED - Lower Mid-Range Faceoff

Agreed. X90L pulls above its weight.

[@nineradvocate]

Got a 75" for $750 which was a can't pass up deal, but I genuinely like it better than a lot of TVs supposedly above it, including the Hisense (I already own a U8G). The viewing angels criticism is way overinflated, and the XR upscaling / image processing is understated. It makes every source I actually watch, including KZbin and KZbin TV look fantastic. It punches way above its price point even at $900.

[@nineradvocate]

@@Yoga_Tv_buying the processing refers to the TVs ability to upscale less than 4k sources and make them look 4k. Watch the video. Sony is unmatched at that. No one mentioned contrast. Rtngs also rated the contrast levels as "excellent" and gave it an 8.6 score. Not that I care, but if you're going to do selective comparisons like that, contextualize it with their comments from the review. I would certainly say that the Bravia 9 is a better TV with a better picture, but in my opinion, it wasn't worth the 3x-4x price premium. You already get the XR upscaling on the X90L (unlike the Bravia 3), which is the best feature of the TV.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

@ dude check the processing on Rtings . They r using 480P image 720p image . It’s fine if Sony does Better . In 2024 I don’t know anyone has Blue Ray player if they don’t have them left at parents house when they moved out already . :) Ps the sony reviews In all online r in cinema mode -- All upscaling up. All Hisense /Samsung (only Hisense n Samsung has that ) -- KILL switch called “Film Maker mode” it’s a button to Shut off 100% Processing or Upscaling .

I second that. The X90L is a beast for its tier but…. The Bravia7 is one of the best TVs I have ever seen. Currently rewatching my favorite films on it and I can’t believe it gets that close to reference monitors. It even outperforms the Bravia9 in some areas.

[@xenogears5177]

I looked at these two TVs for my living room. I ended up with the X90L. The Samsung's color was better, but that's about it. The Samsung stand was just too flimsy and the image quality was just much better on the Sony in my opinion. 1:10 in this video shows what I was seeing in the store. The color is deeper on the Samsung but loses so much of the image. I've only had the X90L for a couple weeks but I'm very happy so far.

[@Sweet-Tooth31]

Ive only had the X90L for a little over 1 year. The only real downside Ive had with it is aging UI (something like an Apple TV resolves that), poor viewing angles, and the lack of two free HDMI 2.1 ports. Luckily my Sony AT-5000 has HDM1 2.1 passthru to let the PS5 still be connected but I will accept that short coming for the superior upscaling and motion processing. Seriously the Reality Creation setting under clarity can make soft looking games like Switch games (SSBU or MK8Dx) look crispy like its 1440p. And for streaming content, Cinemotion High or MotionFlow at 2 really helps make things look less juddery for 24p content. Its not soap opera effecty at all. Just smooth camera panning and movement. Not a perfect TV but very good. Also still gets mighty bright.

@@Yoga_Tv_buying I've been using an X90L for what will be a year three weeks after this comment. After owning a Samsung 768p plasma, as well as a laptop with a budget 4K LCD display, a high-performance 4K LCD display, and a 4K AMOLED display, believe me. I know the X90L's limitations. The elevated black levels from blooming aren't as elevated as turning local dimming off. Its peak brightness for small highlights, and even its sustained full-screen brightness, are brighter than my plasma and even the best laptop display I've ever used. If money was no object, I'd own an 85-inch Sony Bravia 9 QLED for daytime use AND a 77-inch A95L QD OLED for night time use so I can have the best of both. However, being limited to $2,000 when I bought my X90L, I had to choose what areas of performance were important to me and be willing to compromise on other areas. While it's not perfect, I believe the 85-inch X90L falls within that perfect sweetspot in my situation when it comes to performance, size, and price.

@ Thank you for your explanation and curtsy. I recognize I was harsh and I am truly sorry . You did your research and $2000 is hard earned money take anyone a while to save up for it . That you should be happy with the effort n annoyance to acquire the tv n having it set up ! Since lately tvs are getting brighter , I can at least help u that to enjoy TV at fullest experience. If u have had plasma before , you might have gotten used to having tv play show in pitch black . Plasma and those theatre film are dim also low in color . That’s why it squires us to sit in pitch black . There r 20x -- brightness sensors in the eye ball than color ! So we could identify objects don’t step in to cliff or river . Watching 85” tv in pitch black will cause eyes Auto bloom up already brightened image . Modern TVs we have to watch with medium to dim lit room for most comfort for eyes , to ease the Over sensitivity to brightness , allow Color Cones to max capture the color . So just keep in mind :)

@@Yoga_Tv_buying Don't get me wrong. I KNOW QD mini-LED and QD OLED are truly where it's at. I hope some day, I have enough money to sell my X90L and go one of those routs. But after collecting lots of 4K Blu-rays with 7.1 audio and getting a player to play them, I felt I should upgrade my display to something which would allow me to take advantage of the 4K resolution, HDR10, and Dolby Vision. While maybe not at their fulest potential, considering I think the experience with these formats on the X90L is still better than with my plasma and even than my best laptop display, I am happy enough with my X90L to move on to enhancing my audio setup, and then maybe later on down the road, saving for a QD mini-LED or QD OLED and selling my X90L.

How does Samsung stay in the debate. They don't support DV or proper HDR10, and they don't support DTS even for pass through.

[@EnternalFlamez]

There is no discussion. Not having DV is absolutely abysmal. They all want to harp on 2 hdmi ports in the comparison, but DV is absolutely a huge noticeable difference. I love Samsung as a company, have many of their products, cannot purchase their TV’s as a result unfortunately.

[@kuxii_youtube]

I've seen many people changing their minds in front of me when comparing HDR10 S90C vs DV G3 but keep trying tell yourself its a "dealbreaker" :D DV is not as of a big hit as Atmos, Dolby tries to make it as big, but many brands have bad implementations of DV despite having the badge on the product, then what is better in DV?v Even if its the correct way DV is just different, not better.

[@MattyDaddy14]

This was a great review! Very helpful and sheds light on Samsungs lack of perf for price! 🎉

Fair comparison would be with QN85D if we mention price-to-performance, at least be even. In my country the 65" X90 costs 100€ more than the QN85D! not to mention the Q80... dont even bother trying to justify Sony tax in a bang for buck in this comparison

They r not . Especially reference monitor as hoax. The reference is used as comparing . Its developed in 1952 by RCA “CT-100” 😂funny little 8” tv . It had low Color . So they used to make film blue tinted n put warm lights on ppls face to make contrast .

-In Business School -in Canada 🇨🇦 same country where Rtings at. Its MADE sure to explained to US that--Concept cars/ Reference MOnitors n Flagship SONY TV are Made to make Brand LOOK GOOD. 👍 their AIM is SELL AS FEW as SONY Flagship TV as possible because they LOSE money selling Flagship. Producing 300 Farrari a year will COST 💯 X price of producing 60000 Units of BMW X3. But they can NOT charge Flagship CAR/ TV 20X price of low end . What they will do is THEY MAKE d MOST MONEY on Entry level tv to pay back the Lose they have in Flagship. But they will USE flagship (Concept car, or SONY Flagship TV) to promote the low end entry to charge --2X price. N ppl will Enjoy in PLACEBO. N sine everyone’s brain going thru d SAME placebo , announcing d WOW. Because if u buy Flagship, u will NEVER buy low end tv EVEr again. By Aggressively promote ppl to buy low end, mid range SONY, ppl will have URGE to UPGRADE in 3 years rather than 5-6 years, driven by launched of d NEW OVER PRICED SONY flagship. So ppl would once again pay 2-3X price buy an kinda not so hot tv thinking they are best. Rinse n repeat. U willl formulate Echo chamber and baked in it is d BEST u can GET. This is REAL Business stuff they were teaching in Toronto Canada about HOW SONY Tv riding 80s 90s Wave but NOT as hot. However seen as BEST by aggressive Marketing.
