Samsung TU8300 vs Sony X90J

Remote control design is sleek. TV's design is nice and slim but it's heavy. You need two people to move it safely. I think I would have liked it

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 wha...

Horrible remote Having owned several Samsung television sets over the years this set is the worst I have ever had barring none. I would return it in a second if I still had the box it came in. Fortunately I still have the TV I replace with the new set so I can watch channels that are constantly freezing on this set. I would advise anyone, including consumer reports to avoid purchasing Samsung TVs until they improve performance

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). 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

The smart TV part of it is absolutely ludicrous! It’s the worst engineering I think I’ve ever seen on a TV ! When you are watching a baseball game or any show that has movement, the picture freezes about every 7 to 8 seconds for about half a second. You have to use two remotes because the one that comes with the TV I was very limited capabilities. The picture is good, but it is not any better than my eight year old LG TV that this one replaced. Samsung technical support is absolutely useless

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. ...

.and i have to tell you i wish i had gotten the 55" . this thing is prolly 10" bigger than the LG/ HUGE- so

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 thi...

Limited ability to adjust sound quality. Dialog in some cases is mumbled. I wish I could tweak audio character to clarify dialog in movies; I have that capability on my old Samsung. Also, no surround sound option that is available and effective on my 9-year-old Samsung 48-inch 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)

Like most VA panel TVs, it has an excellent contrast ratio and great black uniformity, though unfortunately, it lacks a local dimming feature to help further improve blacks. It has outstandingly low input lag, but unfortunately, it doesn't support variable refresh rates and only has a 60Hz panel. Overall, while it doesn't perform much better than the 2019 Samsung RU7300 or the 2020 Samsung TU8000, it's a decent choice if you're looking for a curved 4k TV.

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).
