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.

RTINGS

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

 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

TCL’s 5-Series QLED TV marries premium picture and endless entertainment for a stellar home theater experience. Quantum Dot technology and the HDR Pro Pack with Dolby Vision combine for greater brightness and contrast, as well as a full palette of rich colors. TCL’s Contrast Control Zone technology optimizes the image across individual zones to yield striking contrast between light and dark areas. AiPQ EngineTM technology uses machine-learning algorithms to intelligently enhance color, contrast, and clarity, as you watch for an unrivaled 4K HDR experience. You will be ready to play with Variable Refresh Rate for smooth, synchronized graphics and Auto Game Mode which adjusts picture settings for an optimized fast-response gaming experience. The 5-Series also features a contemporary design that truly performs, with TCL’s FullView edge-to-edge glass display that blends seamlessly into your viewing experience and integrated cable management that keeps your home theater neat and clutter-free.

If you're on a budget and want a TV that comes with VRR support, then the TCL 5 Series/S546 2021 is the best budget 4k TV for gaming that we've tested for your needs. Although its overall picture quality isn't as good as on the Hisense U6G, it's still great for gaming and comes with FreeSync VRR support to reduce screen tearing.

Gaming feels responsive because it has low input lag, so your actions appear on-screen without any delay, and motion looks smooth thanks to the quick response time. Although its backlight uses pulse width modulation to dim itself, it flickers at such a high frequency that you won't notice it and doesn't create image duplication. There's also an option to reduce the flicker for a backlight-strobing feature, but it doesn't work that well. It's a great TV for dark room gaming as it has high native contrast, and the local dimming feature in Game Mode isn't bad.

Sadly, like the Hisense, it's limited to a 60Hz panel and HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, so while it has VRR support, the refresh rate range is narrow. Also, it has terrible out-of-the-box accuracy that doesn't get much better with a calibration, so avoid this if you care about color accuracy. If you don't, then it's a great budget-friendly gaming TV.

The TCL 5 Series/S546 2021 QLED is the best LCD TV if you're on a budget and want something with variable refresh rate support to reduce screen tearing while gaming. It has native FreeSync and HDMI Forum VRR support, so you can use it with the Xbox Series X and PS5 to get a nearly tear-free gaming experience, but because it's limited to a 60Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, you can't play high-frame-rate games.

It delivers a great gaming experience because it has low input lag for a responsive feel, and it has a quick response time that results in minimal motion blur. There's even a backlight strobing feature to reduce persistence blur, but it creates image duplication. It's also great for dark room gaming as it has a VA panel with a high native contrast ratio and excellent black uniformity. However, its full-array local dimming feature doesn't do much to improve the picture quality in dark scenes. Even in bright rooms, it has great SDR peak brightness, meaning glare won't be a problem, and the reflection handling is decent.

Sadly, the biggest issue with this TV is that it has terrible out-of-the-box accuracy, and calibrating it doesn't fix many of the issues. This means it has a red tint even after calibration, and the entire image looks off. If that doesn't bother you, it's a great LED gaming TV you can get on a budget.

If you want something for the PS5 with VRR support instead, then the TCL 5 Series/S546 2021 QLED is the best budget TV for your needs. It's a good TV that mainly competes with the Hisense U6G, and while it's not as good overall or versatile, it has a few extra features to improve the gaming experience. It supports HDMI Forum VRR to reduce screen tearing, meaning it works with the PS5's VRR support.

It has a 60Hz panel with a great overall response time, so motion looks smooth. Like most VA panels, it has a slow response time with dark transitions, so there's black smearing with dark objects, but it's not too bad, and there's an optional backlight strobing feature to reduce persistence blur. It also has really low input lag for a responsive gaming experience, and you won't have any issues using it with the PS5 up to 4k @ 60Hz games, but without HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, you can't reach a higher frame rate.

Sadly, its picture quality isn't the best because it has some color accuracy issues as there's a noticeable red tint even after calibrating it, so you don't get the most accurate image possible. Still, it looks great in dark and bright rooms because it has a high contrast and gets bright enough to combat glare. All in all, it's the best TV for gaming on the PS5 if you're on a budget and want VRR support.

The TCL 5 Series/S546 2021 is the best budget TV for the Xbox Series X if you want something with VRR support. It's a good overall TV that competes with the Hisense U6G, and while the S546's overall picture quality isn't as good, you get a few more features like the FreeSync VRR support for a tear-free gaming experience.

It's very good for gaming as it doesn't have any trouble displaying games from the Xbox up to 4k @ 60 fps. But, because it's limited to HDMI 2.0 bandwidth and a 60Hz panel, you can't play higher frame rate games. Input lag is very low, and it has a great overall response time for a responsive and smooth gaming experience. It uses pulse width modulation to dim its backlight at all brightness levels, but the flicker is at such a high level you won't notice it. It also has an option to introduce flicker to reduce persistence blur, but it causes image duplication with fast-moving objects.

Sadly, the picture quality and color accuracy isn't anything special. The out-of-the-box accuracy is terrible, and even calibrating it doesn't fix many issues as it has a red tint. Although it has a high native contrast ratio for deep blacks, the local dimming feature doesn't do much to improve the picture quality, but the black uniformity is still excellent. All in all, it's the best budget TV for the Xbox with VRR support.

If you want something cheaper than the Hisense U8H that still delivers a great gaming experience, the best budget 4k TV for gaming we've tested is the TCL 5 Series/S546 2021 QLED. Although it's a slightly older model, it's still widely available and delivers a great gaming experience. It has low input lag for a responsive gaming experience and a great response time, with very little motion blur around fast-moving objects. Like the Insignia F50 QLED, it's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, but it at least supports FreeSync and HDMI Forum VRR, which helps reduce tearing in games, and it's compatible with most PCs, the Xbox Series S|X, and the PS5.

It has an excellent color gamut, remarkably good contrast, and a full array local dimming feature to improve the appearance of bright highlights in dark scenes while maintaining deep blacks. Unfortunately, it has bad accuracy without calibration, and even after calibration, it's not the best, so if you care more for accurate colors, the Hisense U6H is a good alternative. The Hisense doesn't perform as well for gaming, as it has a much slower response time, but it delivers better picture quality overall.

If you have the PS5 or Xbox Series X, you'll want a TV with a few gaming features. While the Hisense U6H has gaming features like variable refresh rate (VRR) support, the TCL 5 Series/S546 2021 QLED also has that, and it has better motion handling, making it the best low-cost TV for gaming. You can play 4k games up to 60Hz without issue on the PS5 and Xbox Series X, but unlike some more expensive options, you can't play games up to 120Hz as its refresh rate is limited to 60Hz, and it doesn't support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. However, this is normal for a budget TV, and you'll have to spend more if you want these premium gaming features.

It has low input lag for a responsive feel while gaming, so you won't notice any delay. It looks great while gaming in dark rooms as it displays deep blacks and has a full-array local dimming feature, but it doesn't do much to improve the picture quality in dark scenes. It doesn't worsen the picture quality either, which is great, and there's minimal blooming around bright objects.

If you're on a budget, the best gaming TV for PS5 is the TCL 5 Series/S546 2021 QLED. It's a great gaming TV with a few features to improve the user experience. Unlike the cheaper Insignia F50 QLED, it supports variable refresh rate technology to reduce screen tearing on the PS5, and combined with its great response time and fantastic low input lag, it delivers a smoother gaming experience overall. Sadly, it's still a bit of a step down from the Hisense U8H as it's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate.

In terms of the picture quality, it displays deep blacks thanks to its high native contrast ratio, and while the local dimming helps improve the contrast, it doesn't do much to improve the overall picture quality in some dark scenes. Sadly, the color accuracy isn't the best, as there's a red tint, but if you don't care about image accuracy and want great performance, you'll be happy with this TV. If you want better overall picture quality, the Hisense U6G is a great alternative, but it doesn't support VRR, so gaming isn't as smooth.

The best gaming TV for Xbox Series X gaming in the budget category is the TCL 5 Series/S546 2021 QLED. It's a great gaming TV with a few extra gaming features. It has variable refresh rate (VRR) support to reduce screen tearing, but unlike higher-end TVs like the Hisense U8H or the LG C2 OLED, you're limited to a 60Hz panel. It doesn't support HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, so games are limited to 60fps. Despite this limitation, it still delivers a smooth and responsive gaming experience thanks to its low input lag and quick response time.

In terms of picture quality, it displays deep blacks thanks to its high native contrast ratio, and while the local dimming feature helps improve contrast, it doesn't do much to improve the overall picture quality in some dark scenes. If you want better overall picture quality, the Hisense U6G is a great choice, but unlike the TCL, it doesn't support VRR, so the overall gaming experience is slightly worse, and you'll see more tearing in some games.
