Sony X90L TV Review - Is It Worth It?

[@AinSophAur31]

One major missing part of your reviews is comparing longevity between tvs. It’s great to say a Hisense is better than a Sony but in 6 years I cannot see that Hisense outperforming any 6 year old Sony.

[@RTINGSdotcom]

Good point! While it isn't a main component of our reviews themselves, we do have an ongoing longevity test that might be of interest for you! www.rtings.com/tv/tests/longevity-test

[@umeshraj2664]

Disagree with your review, it's an amazing TV with no problems at all for reflections, watching in bright room is great, the TV panel is so bright that watching in bright room is not at all a problem.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

What e hell man. I have seen at Bestbuy beside X93L it’s Washed OUT . I understand if it’s STANDING along its good tv. So ppl here are NOT bashing it. It’s AGAINST OTHER GOOD n BETTER TV then u notice it. So i dont blame u for NOT seeign it but if u hav seen TCL Qm8 or Hisense U8K u will think this is mushy stuff. 3:00 matte screen. It has blooming just odd .

[@HoldMeForever]

Fanboys are the worst.

[@remyd8767]

It looks terrible honestly. The blooming would bother me to no end. Upgrade to the x93l or just get an LG OLED b3

[@tiloalo]

​@@remyd8767sure, spend twice as much, and get a better TV, who would have guessed...

[@CT-vm4gf]

Compared to what.

[@chriskelly1740]

The Rtings review is one of the reasons I am planning on upgrading to this TV. It excels higher than more expensive TVs in so many areas at once including HDR PQ EOTF tracking, HDR color gradiant handling, HDR color volume, HDR color gamut, color accuracy, and sustained full-screen SDR and HDR brightness. Being that it doesn't use mini LED backlighting, I'm not sure of its black level performance. But being that it has a VA panel no matter what size you choose, I think of the slightly elevated black levels on VA panels the same way I think of the slight hiss on good analog audio recordings.

[@Sweet-Tooth31]

You'd be surprised. The TV offers two black level sliders. Black adjust (3 tiers, all which can easily crush blacks) and then Black Level (almost acts like gamma correction but in smaller steps) and though Ratings suggest black level 50, at 45-46 it really does help the elevated black levels without losing too much detail. Also the Smooth Gradation feature especially in darker content helps with image clarity by a lot, just never go past High. That will incur intest soap opera effect/motion smoothing. Low is enough. Also not touched on in the video but it has 20gb of built storage, which is double of the X93L. Helpful for side loading apps on the TV directly.

[@RTINGSdotcom]

Glad our reviews could help!

[@Gwrightproductions1]

VA panel will allow for inky blacks much like the x85k.

[@ericmatthews8497]

The 85 inch size is where this TV shines. Right now it can be had for only $2000 - that's $1500 less than the X93L at the same size. You'll get 90% of the performance for only 57% of the cost. This is especially true If you plan to use this in a basement or other dark room where you have lighting control. My Samsung Q70R died last year (quite unexpectedly) and I had to replace it with the X90K, which was also $2000 and I still love it. This newer X90L is better and would be at the top of my list if I had to do it again. Mini-LED and OLED TVS are undoubtedly superior, but in the largest size they can cost almost (or more than) twice the X90L ... but they are not twice as good.

[@paulcox2447]

Good call on 85inched for 2k. That's good for a Sony, a value

[@OmahaGTP]

I believe the X93L also does not have the new XR Clear processor. I’d definitely go the cheaper X90L route.

[@birdtj82]

Hey, I have seen X90L X93L multiple times in 2 diff stores. They are NOT 90% of X93L. MORE of 70% they have a “Hybrid ips feel” by having mushing in person visual, there is a SANDY visual to it. U can even see from FARAWAY from this video. Since i am watching this video on my 65” tv. N it has mate ish finish. It has Blooming n less peak highlights. The Hisens U7K looks more like Sony X93L in Person, a U7K 65” (even UNCALIBRATED) in store beside X90L was So much plesant to the eye side they were beside one another. It was shocked. Cuz Hisense U7K looked just Better(more 3D, more crisp, more vibrant, no blooming, no mush….. , Than X90L looked Visually worse, but D U7K were MUCH cheaper than X90L. It’s very strange to notice it. Cuz u look at tv then look at Price tag u feel like it should be reverse.

[@chriskelly1740]

My thoughts exactly!

[@ericmatthews8497]

@@birdtj82 Honestly, I don't look much at the Hisense TVs. It's just not a brand that I trust. Many online reviewers have pointed out time and again the lack luster upscaling and motion processing on Hisense TVs. Just looking at the TV image in the store is also not something I spend a lot of time doing. Lighting in stores NEVER matches the lighting in my home. Finally, I don't know what you mean by "3D" .. none of these tv's output an image compatible with 3D glasses. Unless you have some super power to see 3D details in a 2D image. From my experience, even images in OLED TVs still look flat to me.

[@lifeofoz8782]

Just bought the 85" X90cl for the extra warranty and backlit remote and am very happy. Just by comparing to the other TVs at Costco this was about the closest thing to an oled and was just way brighter than the other options. You could obviously tell that the oleds are a step above but I am putting in a very bright room and am blown away by the quality

[@RTINGSdotcom]

Happy for you with your purchase! Hope you keep loving it 😄

[@SayAhh]

Ditto. I got the X80CJ two years ago and couldn't be happier.

[@techsamurai11]

Yeah, I also saw it at Costco next to the S90C. I expected the S90C to demolish it but the x90l was clearly brighter and had more color volume in the demos they used. The S90C had different reds (better) I guess but it was hard to pick the S90C except from an angle where the S90C ruled supreme and looked twice as good from acute angles. This TV with 300 dimming zones and the x93’s angles would be perfect. Once you looked at the price and the fact that the X90L has a clearer picture, it’s really tough. Subtitles might be the tiebreaker in favor of the S90C. I was watching a video of the X95K and X95L next to a A90J and A95K - that TV is practically an Oled without the brightness issues. Every reviewer owns the 85 inch X95L which says it all.

[@ShortHandedNow]

I got to demo the U8K and QM8 alongside the X90L... They are not even in the same league. RTINGS talks about the dissapointing viewing angles of the X90L but both the flagship offerings from TCL and HiSense are much worse. Sony's XR processing IMHO pretty much untouchable right now.

[@Todd5050]

@@ShortHandedNow I agree with you. I was worried about the viewing angles, but it isn’t as bad as RTINGS said it was. The Hisense looked brighter but that was it. It looked washed out at times. Quality of image wasn’t as good as the x90l either. I’m very happy with my decision.

Went from X90H to 90K, really happy with the series, L seems no exception. One tip if you're only using it for gaming and Apps like me: enable "Apps-only mode" under Settings > Accounts > [your account]. This cleans up the Home Screen. Btw if you're gaming on consoles, the input lag between most TVs really won't make much difference because most of the input lag (70-90ms) comes from forced vsync that both Xbox and PS use. You can't get rid of it.

I bought this in 65 inches, with the settings, and with the colors adjusted it looks way better than out of the box settings. It's an ok place holder till Sony gives us better options in 5yrs. I don't really think people can go wrong with any TV if they plan on replacing it later on but the upscaling convinced me to stick to buying Sonys although originally I was a U8K fan, and I still think the U8K looks nice. It all just depends on what sacrifices you're willing to live with because they all lack something.

[@chriskelly1740]

I don't know when I'm actually getting it. You said they all lack something and you have to pick your poison. I agree. The only area I think might be slightly subpar is black levels. This model uses a VA panel no matter what size you choose. I think of the slightly elevated black levels on VA panels the same way I think of that slight hiss on good analog audio recordings. After all I put into researching $2,000 85-inch displays this year, I hope I'll be able to afford it soon. If not, I should be ready by the summer of 2024 for their successors.

[@asole100]

​@@chriskelly1740 I have a QHD OLED monitor right under this tv, and the black levels don't bother me as much as I thought it would because the X90L's blacks in movies/shows...etc get blacker than it's own black bars. The only thing that bothers me with this TV is blooming when it is too big not to notice but for the most part it's not something that happens often. Also changing the "black adjust" helps with blacks allot but I would advise to set it to low because "medium", and "high" will sometimes replace small areas that are green to black but with it set to "high" the blacks get allot better so it's a double edged sword. Changing the other "black level" setting from 50 to 45-46 made it look better to me too. If you can wait till next year you should because this tv is ok at best to me since I'm use to OLED. I was going to wait too but seen this tv on a flash sale for a price I was originally going to buy the U8K for (@1099.99$) and I thought it was low enough for me to take a gamble on. I don't really regret my purchase given the fact that I'm mostly using it for console gaming but if I didn't have an OLED to watch content on I would go for a mini-led just because I dislike babying my OLED.

Ive owned this TV for two weeks and though I like it a lot, still might exchange due to an issue. The TV occasionally will boot up with a green screen on the last used tv input (cable box, or even built in streaming apps) and pressing home or menu and going in and out of the input mode doesnt fix it. It's similar to when a power cable is loose but this case its not. The only fix is by restarting the tv using the system menu. I'm using 8K ultra hdmi cables (amazon basics brand) as well double chrcked the HDMI mode (Standard/Enhanced/Dolby Vision) and it happens no matter which one.

Sorry i didnt elaborate. For tv especially SoNY n BMW CAR etc. they strictly make sure that each year d mid range upgrade is very “MINOR” the big upgrades are happening on the flagship. N they make sure the BMW X3 4 5 yr later still similar to X3 3 5 yr earlier. If they make SONY X90L look too much of X93L will effect the sale of X93L, cause x95L not selling good , then 3 yr later NO ONE is UPGRADEing like u are doing. Cuz the image holds too well that they’d wait for 2 more years. So they MAKE SURE the upgrade is minor if in same tier. If remaining with SONY, def need to UP d budget like $700 to get OUT of tier (even just 1 tier up). Or seek diff brand. Cuz they are OVER priced . N Also they ONLY make X95L in 85” , n they make X95L look so good to out do everyone else n most ppl cant get it. Yeah I WAS d --SONY SNOB at time when our business school professor telling us this.its d STRANGEST thing when we were told” SONY look like they Make money over flagships, NO they MAKE MONEY over ppl with MUCH smaller budget, they want to squeeze your pocket over n over again every 3 yrs. Ppl buy Flagship dont upgrade till 5-6 yr later . “ u JUST validated our professor’s convince .

I bought this TV, and it handles "VRR" just fine. I was able to use it on my PS4 via the "HDMI 2.1" ports too. "Local dimming" is still set to "High", and you're still able to adjust it. However "Adv. contrast enhancer", and "Black adjust" is disabled in game mode but you can still get good contrast, and blacks by going to picture settings, and lowering "Black levels", and "Gamma". (Oh, and btw the X90L is a semi-gloss display not matte.🤣)

The only thing that’s gonna give you true Dolby Vision is a 4K Blu-ray. Streaming services like to lie to people and claim they have Dolby vision and 4K but it’s really not because it’s severely compressed down too 8m to 12m, a 4K Blu-ray is going to give you 128m to 140m.

Can everyone give me your opinion? I want to buy a 75X90L but one problem is that this TV is black at the 4 corners of the screen and blooming a bit. The question here is should I reduce it to 65 inches to buy the 65X95L, is it worth it (75x90L vs 65X95L)? And does the black screen corner phenomenon still occur on the X95L? My room does not have direct sunlight and does not have too many bright lights white, just yellow lights, picture lights.

I find it a hard pill to swallow to pay more for a non mini-led with pathitically low zone count and obvious blooming in difficult scenes vs mini-leds from Hisense and TCL even with the better processing. Id say Hisense processing for streamed content got good enough in 2023. Their smooth gradient setting works well enough that the other hardware benifits of hisense become more important.

[@asole100]

Stop The Fomo has proven in comparison videos that it's not that big of an issue as people make it out to be zone count wise. Upscaling wise In a comparison video Brian's Tech Therapy did he showed the X90L's upscaling capabilities vs. U8K, and it made the U8K look hazy in comparison. As for blooming from my own exp. I only ever see it once in a blue a moon otherwise it looks normal, and the blacks are good enough. The only time it isn't is when it's a black star field which is something that rarely happens. The X90L also has the better motion over the U8K as well as better PQ EOTF tracking which you can seen in RTING's test results. Either way you're giving up something. Just pick which features you want the most in your TV.

I am able to get this one for €1286 65 inch

[@FURognar]

I would definitely go for the QM8 over the X90L. Sony just doesnt put enough oomph into the X90 series in a long time. Equivalent Hisense and TCL tvs have much better contrast.

[@asole100]

One is a entry midrange TV as well as FLAD while the other two are flagships as well as being MIni-LEDs. I wouldn't consider them "Equivalent".

[@FURognar]

@@asole100 people compare them because they are in the same price range. Though the X90L is in a series below the other two.

[@asole100]

@@FURognar I never asked why people compare them all I'm saying is that they aren't equivalent.

Do your reviews take reality creation into account?

[@RTINGSdotcom]

We did most of our testing with Reality Creation disabled, but you can enable it when watching lower-resolution content, as it can help to improve the image quality.

This or the QN90C (the QN90C is cheaper). 65 inch

The X90L is in kinda in no man land price wise... .. .. It's 300-400$ above the U8k , QM8 and just 200$ below OLED prices... The X90L is a great TV BUT is it OLED Money good?? I'm just not sure.. If I had that kinda money for a TV I'd just get the OLED... and if I was on a budget I'd get the U8k...

[@remyd8767]

I would spend the extra $209 to get an oled. No brainer.

[@asole100]

Depends which size you're talking about, and where you live because here in the US. the 65 inch ones are the same price.

[@dougnykel7693]

Great tv, but !!!, way !!!, too expensive. Put a 65 inch, LG G3 in you home, without having another tv next to it, have it calibrated, and you’ll love it, and be $1200 richer !!!, you’ll also get a 5 yr warranty on burn in !!!!

[@OmahaGTP]

What? Put a more expensive TV in your home and have more money leftover?

[@dougnykel7693]

@@OmahaGTP, wonder what I was thinking when I wrote this ???, must have been thinking of Sony A95L , don’t know why though ???

[@dougnykel7693]

I meant X95L

Remember, a television is an investment that should enhance your viewing experience, not strain your finances.

If this sony tv have dark corners like others sony tv's then is this crap

[@vivekbarot9]

please suggest me x90L vs lg c2

[@RTINGSdotcom]

It really depends what you're looking for as the C2 is an OLED and the X90L is not, there's also cost differences to take into account!
