For those on a budget, the Amazon 4K43M600A is a good choice as the best 43-inch TV at a low cost. It's a rather basic TV that doesn't have the bells and whistles of some higher-end models like the Samsung Q60/Q60B QLED, but it's good for what it is as an entry-level 4k TV. It comes with the Fire TV smart platform, which is easy to use and makes navigating through the menus feel smooth. There are tons of apps to download, and the built-in mic on the remote gives you access to Alexa voice assistant, making it easy to open apps and search for content.

Although its overall picture quality isn't the best, it still performs well in dark rooms as it displays deep blacks, and it has decent reflection handling and peak brightness if you want to use it in a bright room. There are a few drawbacks you have to expect from a budget-friendly model, as it doesn't upscale 480p and 720p content as well as other TVs, which isn't ideal if you watch DVDs or cable TV. If that's important to you, the Samsung AU8000 is a good alternative, but it doesn't get as bright.

 The remote has built-in voice controls, and there are microphones on the TV for hands-free control. Unfortunately, it also has many of the same flaws as the 4-Series;&nbsp;it has disappointing accuracy out of the box, with just a basic white balance calibration system. It also has a slow response time, resulting in noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects.

 While Mirrorcast, included with Windows running on a Sandy Bridge processor, may successfully mirror to your TV, it *very* well may not. This is all Wi-Fi. I have yet to try using an HDMI cable and using the TV as a 2nd monitor. Or buying a Chromecast device, which is even more money

Better than expected picture, but

 All they do is point you back to the same support website for pairing devices to the TV that you've already tried...then blame Cox when they can't get rid of you, because you're mad at spending all this money on a TV where Alexa only half-works

Everything you watch becomes more detailed and immersive with true-to-life 4K HDR, powered by the all-new Cognitive Processor XR™. Feel the intensity of the sun and experience all the stars of the night sky with Full Array LED and XR Contrast Booster 5. With outstanding picture quality, a flush bezel design, and HDMI 2.1 for next-gen gaming, the X90J 4K HDR LED TV is ready for everything.

The Sony X90J is the best mid-range 4k LED TV with a 120Hz refresh rate that we've tested. It's an impressive TV with fantastic contrast, a great response time, and excellent SDR peak brightness. It has a great local dimming feature, making it a great choice for dark-room viewing, and it delivers an impressive HDR movie-watching experience. Like the Sony A90J, it has impressive processing, with great tone mapping in HDR and fantastic gradient handling.

It's an excellent TV for gaming. It's been updated to receive support for variable refresh rate technology, and it's fully compatible with everything the PS5 has to offer. It has fantastic low input lag, resulting in a responsive gaming experience. Unlike Samsung TVs, including the Samsung QN90A, there's no difference between 'Game' Mode and 'Movie' Mode, so you don't have to sacrifice picture quality when gaming.

It's not perfect, though, as it falls just short of being able to display a wide color gamut with HDR content. HDR still looks amazing on it, but some colors appear slightly muted compared to other TVs. Overall, this is a great TV.

 You will get superior tone mapping. You will get deeper black levels, you will get smoother gradation. You will also get you know, sharper upscaling. In addition, you will also get more granular calibration controls allowing for superior color accuracy

 This video is sponsored by surfsharkvpn with more and more people staying home. These days, netflix is continuing to cap, the bitrate of certain shows, especially in europe, which will cause the picture to look softer with more compression artifacts, such as macro blocking pixelation and noise in dioxins. What, if there's a way to access netflix servers in another country where streaming bit rate is not capped? This is where a vpn comes in. Surfshark allows you to stream content from another country without needing you to be physically there, so you can watch netflix in higher bit rates and better picture quality

 This film mode, low setting is not present on the x900 edge 8.. The sony x90j is able to resolve full 4k 100hz resolution, whereas on the xh90 or x900h, as we have pointed out last year, the vertical resolution at 4k 100hz was still halved and the reason why the x90j was able to resolve full 4k 100hz resolution, despite both Tvs using the same mediatek, mt5895 soc, it's because the bravo xr processor on the x90j actually has an additional companion chip which works to relieve some of the workload. However, because of the presence of this companion chip, i think it is also suffering from some sort of hdmi bandwidth limitation and therefore 4k hundred radius content in hdr actually exhibited more posterization than what was presented on the x900h, not only on test patterns

 You will also get you know, sharper upscaling. In addition, you will also get more granular calibration controls allowing for superior color accuracy. You will also get full 4k 130hz resolution. Finally, and last but not least, you will get an intermediate film mode low setting on the sony x90j, which may avoid microstarter in broadcast content with mixed edits

8 Reasons Why The Sony X90J is Better than The X900H (+ 2.5 Reasons Why It's Worse)

 Under the clarity sub menu we have sharpness, which is the age enhancement control reality. Creation, which is sony's proprietary database driven upscale income, noise reduction algorithm and i, as a matter of principle, would always try to turn things off. So i would go for resolution of minimum and turn off rightly creation altogether, but i'll just leave it on 24. Now, just to get past this setting and then we random noise reduction, this is basically temporal noise reduction and then with digital noise reduction

 Okay, normally the google tv home screen will be populated, but because i skipped it, then clearly it isn't even connected to the internet. Yet so what i'm going to do is to press the cog wheel or settings button on the remote control and then i'm going to go through the picture settings in the user menu. So if i can go to picture settings, the default picture mode is standard which is far too blue in terms of the color temperature. So i normally would change it to something else, but before that, what i like to do is to just turn off the light sensor, because you know we want the most accurate picture that is not affected by the light sensor on the tv

Sony X90J 4K HDR TV Unboxing, Setup & Picture Settings

 Although both TVs use a VA panel, the X90J has a higher contrast ratio, which means it can display deeper blacks. Its color gamut isn't as good as the X900H's, but it gets significantly brighter in HDR to make highlights pop, and its brightness is more consistent due to a less aggressive Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL).

From rtings: Note: X900h is same as xh90.

The Sony X90J is the Sony X900H's successor. They're very similar overall, but there are a few differences.

I have a Series X and mainly play games and use the xbox as my dashboard for twitch, youtube and Netflix. I can get the Sony xh90 for £769 or the Sony X90J for 1,299. 

Is it really worth the £500 difference?. I was considering oled but i play games to much. Samsung QN90A i like the look of but it's alot atm and no Dolby Vision.

The Sony xh90 is 1 year warrenty and TBA X90J 5 year warranty. 

Any advise would be great. Thank you in advance. :).

Sony 55xh90 or Sony 55X90J?.

 In comparison, my Blu-ray player takes exactly ONE press of a button, but I like to use my Xbox for a superior picture, as well as 4K support (Xbox lacks Bluetooth).  This seems like a software fix needed on Sony's end. I've owned this TV for 2 months, and no such fix has been made. If you go into the settings (such as "Bluetooth"), instead of taking you to the selected setting, it takes you to the home screen instead! This creates a couple of issues

 It takes a total of 18 (yes, EIGHTEEN) button presses on the remote to successfully make a connection, and get me back to the input I was watching. (I'm not even including the button press on my headphones).

Beautiful picture, functionality is total s#!t

 This was April 28th. In order to "validate" my problem I was sent an email indicating the I need to send pictures of the defect (sound problems--don't know what picture of no sound looks like) and pictures of the model number and serial number (which I already gave them via phone). Once I sent that, they would "validate" my problem within 24 hours and then send me a new replacement TV within 5-7 business days. I chose to work with Amazon (this is the good news)

 I summarized again the symptoms. I asked if I could purchase a new soundbar, have it shipped to Sony and have Sony TV Engineering test with my soundbar to isolate and fix the problem.  Update (5/14/2021) It has been 3 business days (the prescribed amount of time to wait for response). I had not heard back, so I called Sony

 In fact, with the previous (deemed defective model) I had tried with another soundbar and had problem, so I have asked them to re-open case. Not happy..

 Once I sent that, they would "validate" my problem within 24 hours and then send me a new replacement TV within 5-7 business days. I chose to work with Amazon (this is the good news). Amazon took care of the return right away, and I ordered a new set that same day (price had decreased $200 in two weeks since I purchased). My new TV arrived the next day

Great Picture, Problems syncing with soundbar [see update], problems with eARC support, CEC support

1 ports, so you can game at 4k at 120 frames per second. In addition, both of these tvs have the next-gen atsc 3.0 tuner. So, as more markets come online, you'll be able to get high quality channels

 And you have a clear winner in a bright room: i'm not sure we can assign an exact dollar amount to the brightness, because it's not really an easy thing to do. But let's go over some of the important information and see if we can get a tv for you when you consider either of these tvs. You have a few factors to think about. The first considerations are typically size and price and those are just numbers

 The x90j is pretty light, which is nice to get it up on the table by myself, but it does have a cheaper build quality. On the other hand, x95j is pretty heavy and the edges have a thicker square. Look it's a bit creaky when picking it up. Both of these tvs have speakers on the side to help direct sound out of the audience, but the x90j has downward firing woofers, while the x95j are still on the back

 Let me know in the comments since the tvs are on, we can start to talk about the differences in the picture, quality and i'll show you a couple tests before rendering some buying advice. First, just a reminder for anyone: who's new to 2021 tvs from sony. The x90j and the x95j both have the xr processor, which not only looks amazing when upscaling, but also is able to push extra brightness to highlights and focus on objects as a human. Would

Sony BRAVIA XR X90J or X95J LED 4K Smart TV - or Neither?

As the title says, I just recently bought a new Sony X90J and as I am not happy with the motion performance while gaming. Panning and moving the camera around causes stutter and blurriness that was not as noticable on my old 2009 LG Tv. Maybe imperfections are now more visible because of the better resolution as this is my first 4K tV.

 I will keep the TV, but would go for cheaper model next time for my particular needs in that specific room. Unless you sit close to the screen, lots of the advantages of this screen quality get lost. Sound wise, it's actually usable after some equalizer adjustments, but here too I'm using HomePods that deliver fuller sound and don't sound like a TV speaker. (the TV allows connections to Amazon and Google wireless speakers as well)

 On the plus side - HomeKit works well once the proper syncing order has been determined. It's a bit of a dance to get the order right of which button to push when. Oh, and if you want to get the free movies that come with the purchase, you have to install Google TV to fully access Bravia Core.

 With size and viewing distance, that price may not make much sense (even at the current discount), and a TV half the price would have probably been just as fine. I shied back from OLED because the viewing distance wouldn't justify the price increase, and the screen reflections in a very bright room, but then this model doesn't seem to hold much advantage in this respect. It's different for really large TVs (65'+) with proper seating distance, where the panel is more important than for my current setup. In retrospect, I bought Sony because of past good experience and was fine paying the higher price for quality control

 I went with Sony because my large TV is an older Sony and has withstood the test of time extremely well. Not so sure about this one. With size and viewing distance, that price may not make much sense (even at the current discount), and a TV half the price would have probably been just as fine. I shied back from OLED because the viewing distance wouldn't justify the price increase, and the screen reflections in a very bright room, but then this model doesn't seem to hold much advantage in this respect

It's a bit of a dance to get the order right of which button to push when

Iffy quality control ; picture ok ; Google TV not worth it

 Terrible warranty and policy standards (I'll give them an "F"). Also, their "smart" features and overall interface is slow, glitches (kicks me out of programs), randomly resets itself, and the refresh rate of streaming services/channels is abysmal ("D").

Great Picture, Terrible Customer Service and Warranty
