Sony X90J 4K HDR TV Review Revisited | Better This Time?
And here we go again. ,Its time for a Sony X90J review. Take two.,Welcome back, everyone, ,Im Caleb Denison, and if you missed our first stab,at reviewing this TV, it basically went like this.,When we unboxed the TV, we noted it had what seemed like cosmetic damage,to the plastic on the back. ,We pressed forward, we got into the review, and it seemed like,we could dance around what appeared to be localized performance compromises.,But ultimately, at the end, ,it became clear that the TV probably wasnt performing as it should.,Some stuff just wasnt adding up.,So we requested a replacement unit from Sony. And here it is.,This is where we dove back in and render a final opinion on this TV.,Now, I was less than enthusiastic before.,Will that change this time around? ,Before I get into it, though, I want to let you know that,if youre watching this video on YouTube, ,I have a special segment coming toward the end that you will only see here.,I want to talk a little bit ,about our review process and why we sometimes give TVs another chance,,and why you may end up seeing videos that go right up to the point,where I have to tell you, were going to have to do a second take.,Thats all coming toward the end. So stick around. ,Oh, and while were at it, hop into the comments right now and tell me,,do you like the unboxing videos we do ahead of the full reviews?,If so, tell me why. And if not, tell me why not.,And while youre down there, please smash like and subscribe,so we can continue to put out these great videos for you.,A million thanks as always. OK, here we go.,So lets just take things from the top. ,I still love how easy it is to set up this TV. Two legs, just pop them right in,,no screws needed. ,Theres only one place for the feet. ,Trust me, I scoured the underside looking for hidden spots, and there are none.,This is where the feet go. ,I also like the Google TV platform, as Ive mentioned in past videos.,Its really grown on me over the past few months, ,and its become my preferred smart TV platform.,If for no other reason, because its so easy to get logged into apps, I love that,as a TV reviewer. But also the look and the feel of it just suits me.,It feels classy. ,And I get less of a sponsored content vibe for some reason.,Hard to qualify that. ,I just do. Add to that Sony Cinema picture,preset settings are fantastic. ,Theres really nothing much more you need to do to get the best picture quality.,I think no manufacturer has more accurate picture presets across all the options,than Sony. But the Cinema Preset is especially good, and part of,that means really accurate colors without needing a calibration.,Although a white balance adjustment will make greys in some colors,look a bit better, pulls out a bit of green as Ive measured.,So color accuracy is a thing,for picture quality, but theres lots more to consider.,Im about to get to that. ,But before I do, I just have to comment on the TVs sound quality.,This is an area where my opinion hasnt changed since I first reviewed this TV.,I dont think it sounds very good at all. ,Even though Sony has added tweeters ,to the top side of the back of the TV to try to make the sound more spacious.,Now, Im not comparing it directly to the Sony A80J, A90J,,and I wouldnt ever ,compare it to the X95J either, which I do expect to have in soon.,Im comparing it to other TVs in its price class.,And while it isnt necessarily worse ,than, say, the TCL R635 or the Samsung Q80A,,which Ive only heard in passing anyway. I can say that,I dont like how it sounds, and I would absolutely be using a sound bar.,So keep that in mind when youre considering this TV,and your budget comes into play.,Now lets talk about picture quality. Some of the fundamentals didnt change,and some of them did since I reviewed the somewhat damaged X90J,a few weeks ago.,The peak brightness doesnt appear to have been affected, but the backlight,system clearly did take a hit because the black levels on this unit,are clearly better. ,The backlight control is better. ,Halo and blooming are better mitigated. ,Theres a bit less of a milky quality to the picture. To be honest,its hard to describe why, ,but this TV is noticeably better than the damaged unit I received.,And I checked that with some of my team who all agree.,So Im not just drinking my own Kool-Aid.,Mmm. Tasty Kool-Aid. Sugar free, of course.,Anyway, heres the bottom line. ,Even though this review sample is better than the last one I had,,I am still not as enthused about it as I was the X900H. ,Now, Im sure that if I put the X90J next to the X900H,,I would have to admit that the X90J is a superior TV in many respects.,So whats changed then?,Well, the market. The market is what has changed.,You have Hisense out there with the U8G, which is blowing the doors off this TV,in terms of brightness. ,And its got some solid inky blacks as well,,thanks to its almost preposterous number of local dimming zones.,Then youve got the Samsung Q80A, which is not a Neo-QLED,,in other words, it doesnt have mini-LED,backlighting, just like the X90J here, but is also a strong performer.,And then you have TVs ,like the TCL R635, which didnt start in this price class,and honestly gets pretty close ,for much less money, at least when it first came out.,And hopefully the TCL prices come down. ,Then you have the Vizio P-Series Quantum or P-Series Quantum X, depending on which,year of TV youre buying, which are cost competitive with this TV as well,,and they also get brighter. Bottom line, depending on your priorities,,there are TVs with flashier specs than the X90J,and they cost the same or less. ,So the X90J just doesnt stand out in the market,quite the same way the X900H did for me last year.,But that doesnt mean it has an identity crisis necessarily.,It has its place and will appeal to certain folks.,I just think maybe fewer folks than before.,The X90J is going to appeal to Sony TV fans.,Period. Full stop. End of story. Thats it.,Sonys processing is on full display here.,The motion on this TV is excellent.,if you leave the motion setting on custom. That gives you good smoothness,without soap opera effect. ,And if you set the motion to auto, it is exceptionally smooth motion,,but with some soap opera effect, which for gaming,,I think is less of an issue than it may be for movies.,I ran every stress test I have and the Sony’s motion,looks great on this unit, so thats a plus.,Also, Sony’s color accuracy,,as I mentioned before, looks great out of the box.,It loses saturation and intensity, though, due to brightness limitations.,And thats where I think I have to be the most critical.,This TVs limited brightness is smartly handled by Sony.,Its got a high average picture level, ,so it comes off as bright, but it lacks punch in HDR highlights.,And overall, it seems to lack a bit of contrast to. Also the colors,lose some vibrancy as a result. Accurate or no,as you get out of the mid bright colors and into some of the HDR color space,,the zing just isnt there for me. ,Also, even though the backlight is handled really well and halo and blooming are,well mitigated, I dont feel like this TV seems to hit true black very often.,I think part of that is the aggressive anti-glare coating on the screen.,Thing is without that anti glare, ,the TV would have so much reflection to overcome with brightness,it doesnt have, that the net effect would be negative.,So the TV needs that anti-glare.,And I feel like one of the tradeoffs is perceived contrast. By the measurements,The contrast is good, but in real life viewing, it just isnt what I want.,Even at this TV’s price level where it isnt going to be as good as a mini-LED,TV with two hundred plus zones, I still feel a little let down.,But you know what? ,Lets do a reality check. ,I think most folks who walk in a dark room,and see this TV would say it looks great.,And thats because this TV does a lot really
Sony X90J TV Review (2021) – Better Than The X900H?
You guys have been waiting for it, and its finally here: the Sony X90J!  ,Its this years follow-up to the to the very popular X900H.  ,Today well see what it brings to the table and how it stacks up against last years model.,Hi, I’m Brandon, a test dev at RTINGS.com where we help you find the best product for your needs.,First well look at the design of the TV and then move on to the picture quality.  ,Then well look at the motion handling, inputs, and sound Quality.  ,Afterwards well end with our verdict and compare it to competing models on the market.  ,Also, stick around afterwards, since well be answering some of questions you had for us.,If you’d like to skip straight to our test results,  ,then see the links in the description below.,We bought the 55 the inch to test, but its also available in a 50, 65, 75, and massive  ,100 inch model that goes by the name X92J. For the most part, they should perform similarly,  ,except the 100 inch model has a different speaker configuration and most likely sounds different.,So lets get into it! First, the design. From the front, it looks almost identical to the X900H.  ,Its simple and minimalist. Pretty on par with previous Sony TVs.  ,The bezels are nice and thin, but the glossy plastic might not be everyones style.,Like the X900H, the stand is wide-set, so theres plenty of space for a soundbar,  ,but you might need a wide table. To attach the TV to the feet,  ,it just slides right on from above, no screws required, which is nice.,Looking around the back side, and this is where the X90J diverges from its predecessor.  ,The back now has a grid-like pattern to it, which looks pretty good, although there is a lot of flex  ,in the back panel and around the borders. And there isnt much in the way of cable management.  ,Just clips on the feet to keep your cables out of the way. The ports are in a cut out on the side,  ,and well go into more detail on those a bit later when we get to the Input Section.,All in all, its a well-built TV, despite some wobble.  ,Its all plastic, and its not the thinnest on the market, but it should still look good,  ,whether you prefer to have it on a stand or wall-mount it.,With design out of the way, lets check out the smart features. This year, Android TV has been  ,replaced with Google TV. Its essentially just a new version of Android, but improves on it in a  ,couple of ways. First, its much easier to get set up and logged in. Its also a little smoother and  ,more streamlined, with a hub that organizes content from all your apps into one place. ,Unfortunately, ads and suggested content have carried over as well,  ,and if anything, theyre even more obtrusive. They show up on the home page and in the app store.  ,Sadly, theres no work-around to disable them, like there was on Android TV,  ,but you can opt-out of getting personalized ads at least.,You just have to Settings, and then go down to Privacy. Go to Ads. ,And here you can see “Opt out of Ads Personalization”.,On the upside, Chromecast is built-in, so as long as your devices are on the same network,  ,you can seamlessly cast content from your phone to your TV.,The remote is similar to previous Sony models, with dedicated shortcut  ,keys to apps like Youtube and Netflix. Theres also the voice assistant button,  ,but you need to have bluetooth enabled on the TV to use the voice command feature.,With Bluetooth enabled, you can use the the Google assistant to launch apps,  ,search for content, and ask for info like the time or weather.,Open Youtube.,Close Youtube.,Change to HDMI1.,Alright, lets move on to picture quality. Well be comparing the  ,picture quality of the X90J to other TVs that are available right now,  ,but the competition may change as new TVs are released throughout the year.,For an updated comparison with new models as we buy and test them,  ,see the review page on our website which is linked below.,First, lets look at contrast, which is one of the most important aspects of picture quality.  ,Simply put, its the ratio between the darkest black and the brightest white that a TV is can  ,produce. The contrast ratio on the X90J is fantastic, so darker scenes wont look washed out,  ,even in a dark room. Its a bit of a step up from the X900H, and its made even better  ,by the local dimming, which improves perceived contrast by dimming sections of the backlight.,And speaking of: the local dimming on the X90J is great! It uses full-array local dimming, although  ,the 24 dimming zones are somewhat large, so you might notice some blooming around text or other  ,small objects. That said, its more noticeable on our test pattern than with actual content.  ,Theres very little black crush, so you dont lose much detail in darker scenes.  ,You can see here in the shot of the Earth and Space, most of the stars are maintained.  ,And good news: there isnt much of difference with local dimming when the TVs in Game mode,  ,so you can play your favorite games without taking a hit in picture quality.,Lets move on to brightness. This is especially important if you have a bright living room that  ,gets lots of light. The TV needs to be bright enough so you can still see the image over any  ,sunlight or glare. And the great news is that the X90J has impressive brightness in SDR,  ,more than enough to overcome glare in most rooms. Its slightly brighter than the X900H.  ,Even so, we still dont recommend placing it directly opposite of a window or light source,  ,since its reflection handling is only decent. To really get the brightest highlights to pop  ,in an HDR movie or game, a TV needs to be able to hit some pretty high peaks of brightness.  ,And this is where the X90J really improves upon the X900H. Depending on the scene,  ,it can hit up to 600, or even 700 nits, which is very good. And it performs virtually the same in  ,Game mode too! Its slightly dimmer according to our measurements, but it really shouldnt be  ,noticeable, and its pretty normal behavior since brightness can vary a bit between testing runs.,Now onto the uniformity. Starting with the gray uniformity– which is the evenness of solid  ,colors–ours was a step down from the X900H. The corners are noticeably darker and theres  ,some unevenness throughout. However, uniformity is something that can vary from unit to unit,  ,so its hard to tell if we got a poor performing set, or if this is the norm.  ,As for Black uniformity– which is how even an all black image looks–its very good with local  ,dimming turned off, although it has a slight cloudy blue tint. With local dimming turned on,  ,its alright and about on par with the X900H. It gets rid of all the blue clouding,  ,but now theres blooming around the center cross because of the low number of local dimming zones.,If your living room is set up so that youre looking at the TV from off-center,  ,its important to get a TV with wide viewing angles, so the image stays accurate.  ,Unfortunately, this isnt that TV. It uses a VA panel, so the image starts to lose accuracy  ,and look washed out as you move off-center. But this is very typical of most VA panels,  ,and some people dont find this as bothersome as others.,Moving on to color accuracy. Sony is well-known for having great accuracy out of the box,  ,and the X90J is no exception. In fact, its one of the most accurate TVs that weve tested  ,pre-calibration. Any inaccuracies with white balance and color are very minimal, and gamma  ,is pretty on-target. While accuracy can vary between units, the X900H also had great accuracy  ,out of the box, so this bodes well for other units. After calibration, everything looks even  ,better. If you want to see our recommended picture settings, then you can check them out right here.,Now, lets talk about color gamut. We were a little surprised to find that the X90J  ,falls just short of our testing criteria to be considered “”wide”” for HDR co

Sony X90K vs X95K – Mini-LED or Not to Mini-LED
whats up everyone be the installer here,i have two great tvs to compare today we,have the sony x90k over there which is a,great full array local dimming led tv,and on this side over here we have the,sony x95k which is their first mini led,4k tv so im going to show you the,similarities of these two tvs and then,the differences and let you guys decide,based on your room conditions and,viewing experiences and costs why youd,get one versus the other so make sure to,smash the like button and subscribe to,the channel and make sure you hit the,notification bell so youre notified,when i upload a new video and question,for the day will you consider either one,of these tvs or both maybe thats why,youre watching this video let me know,in the comments which tv you choose and,why so physically speaking these two tvs,look pretty similar from the front and,the back with small differences of,course the x95k is a mini led but its,not necessarily any thinner than the,x90k thats not a mini led although,there are some features once we talk,about the quality of the tvs that,differentiate the two but the x90k only,has one positioning for the feet which,is wide and a low profile stance while,the x95k has a narrow stance and a wide,stance and then in the wide stance you,can also raise up the tv in order to,sneak a soundbar underneath and on the,back of the tvs both of them have four,hdmi inputs two of them are hdmi 2.1,which means they can game with 4k at 120,frames per second and one of those two,ports is the arc e arc port that youd,send sound out to a soundbar or speaker,system then besides those four hdmis you,have your basic optical and landline and,both of the tvs have a 300 by 300,millimeter visa pattern and they both,have side firing tweeters but the x95k,has larger speakers on the back and i,think overall has a bit better sound the,back of the x95k also comes with six,different panels to cover up the hdmi,ports and the feet position and in,general just looks a little cooler but,you know like who really looks at the,back of your tv since its normally on a,stand against the wall or on the wall,both tvs have the exact same remote,which is a newer sony remote its a,little bit smaller it no longer has,number buttons on it still has your up,down left right input a home button back,button volume channel all the important,buttons and a few different apps down at,the bottom but its definitely nice that,this remote is smaller so that you dont,have to slide your hand all the way at,the top to press the power button on and,then slide it all the way back down to,manipulate buttons so im a big fan of,this remote i wish it had the backlight,but i believe the backlight is only,available on the a95k qd oled and the,z9k 8k tv so lets get back to the tv so,we can show you some different content,the first sort of content that we want,to watch because its probably the most,common for someone buying these sort of,tvs its just your typical cable sports,movies in sdr which is standard dynamic,range things that youre gonna get from,your cable box i like to use youtube tv,because thats what we use and also it,gives us an opportunity to see how good,each of these tvs can upscale and handle,motion and sports is something that most,people would watch on these sort of tv,so things to think about when watching,sdr or just watching sports in general,are your room conditions and the,brightness of the tv in contrast of the,tv things like this and if you had to,compare these two tvs in a typical room,that doesnt have a ton of windows,behind you youd probably be good with,either the x95k,has better anti-reflective coating and,is brighter in sdr while the x 90k on,the left has better contrast and in a,regularly room or darker room the better,contrast is a great substitute for lack,of brightness sometimes especially since,you can get the tv on the left for a,lower price so here you can see the,differences in the anti-reflective,properties the sony x95k on the right,has that rainbow effect but you can see,it really knocks down this light a lot,better and the x 90k on the left not so,good and later on well show you both,tvs maxed out with a bunch of light in,the background so you can make your,decision on if your room would need one,tv or the other with regards to the,motion and upscaling the good news is,that both these tvs share the same xr,processor in fact theyre very good at,upscaling the xr processor is also known,to have very good motion especially with,these led or mini led type tvs so i feel,like both tvs can really upscale content,very effectively and i think that the,motion settings are very easy to dial in,depending on how you like it to look so,now that weve looked at all this sdr,content lets get into the hdr movies,but first i want to say thanks to,harrys for sponsoring this video as,someone whos on camera all the time i,always like to make sure ive got a,clean shave before i step on the screen,so when harrys reached out to sponsor,todays video i knew itd be a perfect,match their starter set has everything,you need in one convenient package,shipped straight to your front door you,get their awesome five blade razor with,a weighted handle a blade cover and,foaming shave gel i love the foaming,shave gel because with ingredients like,aloe and hyaluronic acid it feels great,on even sensitive skin for a cool,comfortable shave theyve also got a new,two-toned handle design made with 50,recycled plastic with deeper grooves for,improved grip and i really like the look,of this blue ocean color and with their,premium blades that are manufactured in,harrys own factory in germany you get a,close comfortable and smooth shave every,time best of all harrys has fair price,razors for everyone so no outrageous,price tags just premium quality at an,affordable price if that sounds good to,you you can redeem your own starter set,for just three dollars when you go to,harrys.com forward slash installer and,start shaving with harrys today so,were in hdr now and were watching,encanto which is a movie that weve used,in the past in order to show really,bright and vibrant animated scenes but,also show you scenes that challenge,different tvs with regards to the shadow,detail and i have to say that both of,these tvs are great for hdr the x 95k on,the right is extremely bright and,vibrant and i really have no complaints,when watching hdr in full screen and,even the x 90k on the left which lacks a,bit of brightness when compared to the,x95k still is extremely bright and,vibrant and in most rooms you would be,very happy with it much more so than,something like the high sense projector,that we did where it was significantly,dimmer than a bright qled so youre not,going to be complaining about either one,of these tvs brightness and hdr again,motion control is amazing you can get,this tv exactly to your likings with,regards to the motion and i really enjoy,watching either of these sonys in hdr,now if you go over to an hdr movie that,has subtitles youll notice that there,is a bit of blooming on both of these,tvs the contrast on the x90k is a little,bit better and its not quite as bright,but theres definitely blooming there i,believe theres only 60 dimming zones on,this tv on the left and on the right the,mini led tv has around 300 dimming zones,but its a lot brighter and i still see,similar blooming so its not like the,mini led has eliminated that blooming it,did take samsung a couple years to get,theirs under control in a manner so i,think that as time goes on the x 95k or,the next version will improve its local,dimming but overall i think sony is,happy with the blooming levels because,theyre getting such bright tvs but,youd expect a mini led to perform,better probably than this x95k does with,regards to that blooming control since,we looked at the blooming control lets,look at a couple other tests that we,normally do when comparing or showing,different tvs here we have the infamous,modern wise dirty screen test that shows,yo

Sony X90J 4K HDR HDMI 2.1 TV | Full Review Best LCD / LED TV of the Year?
so after just a little bit longer than,first anticipated here is my full review,on the sony x90j,dont forget to hit the red button to,subscribe and give this video a thumbs,up and click the notification bell to,get my next video first,okay so forever ago it seems we did the,unboxing and first setup of the sony,x90j this is a tv that we paid full,retail value for and it was going to be,pride of place in our living room and so,therefore what happens next is all the,more frustrating anyway we did the,unboxing video and that went fine and,ill leave a link in the description but,then it coincided with the european,championships and i dont know whether,you remember those of you in the uk,definitely will that england got to the,final and i thought ill have some,friends around and ill bring down my,projector screen so this is a 100 inch,screen,and that wasnt a good idea because when,i put it back,as you can see,for some reason in transit in fallen and,unfortunately the screen was broken,as this was quite an expensive tv i,think i paid around eighteen hundred,pounds or seventeen hundred pounds for,it at the time i decided to claim on my,home insurance and i had to wait for,that to be processed then i had other,projects and things and so therefore,there has been a delay and i do,apologize and many of you in previous,videos ive done recently have commented,on where is this video so here it is,so one of the first reasons for getting,this tv was the fact that its reflection,handling was supposed to be pretty good,and it is,this room that the tv is in now has got,patio doors directly opposite it it also,got a window to the left and behind the,camera theres a window to the right so,its a really really bright room that,suffers incredibly badly from,reflections and oled tv just would not,cope in this room believe me ive tried,it and i love oleds ive got quite a few,of them and so therefore its all about,location on where you put the tv which,depends on what type of tv is right for,what room so one of the best bits of,advice i can give if youre considering,buying a tv is really consider the,environment that youre going to be,putting it in and oled is great in a,darker room not opposite of window but,if you have got brightness in the room,well then consider something like this,one of the differences between this tv,and last years x900h is the fact that,youve now got two different positions,to put the feeds thats providing you by,the 55 inch or bigger the 50 inch model,still only has the single position so do,bear that in mind and i think some other,reviewers have not noticed that and,therefore thought that it only had one,position but it does have two providing,youre getting 55 inches or above,in my opinion when it comes to design,well this tv isnt going to win any,awards the x90j just feels almost a,little bit like the last generation of,tv certainly when you compare it to,oleds sure the back has got a nice,pattern on but whats the point of that,the tv almost feels a little bit too,thick,hence why im wall mounting mine and,its just about acceptable in terms of,the bezels although again they are quite,thick when you consider what else is,available this tv does feel and look,just a little bit dated but its only in,the casing and the design when it comes,to the picture its very very different,connections on the back well there are,four hdmi ports two of these have 4k at,120 hertz although do bear in mind that,the third one which is a 4k at 120 hertz,also has to double up as your e-arc or,your audio return channel sony are,renowned for producing exceptionally,color accurate tvs and with this va,panel the x90j well its no different,the colors are exceptional pre and post,calibration figures were almost,identical there wasnt a lot in it and,as you can see from this imagery there,is like a different richness a different,quality without it being oversaturated,whats your thoughts how do you think,this tv looks as i mentioned this is a,va panel and so therefore you do get,some darkening once youre off on,extreme angles but believe me you need,to be really extreme for it to be,noticeably different and providing your,sat in normal room youre not going to,have any problems with this tv,overall screen uniformity on the sony,x90j is very good indeed although the,same thing happened with the x900h from,last year the four extreme corners do,seem to suffer and they are noticeably,darker than the rest of the screen,now the reality is in a normal scene you,dont tend to notice only in a few when,it came to dsc there is no obvious,banding its a pretty clean screen im,very happy with this va panel,with full array local dimming albeit,with just 24 dimming zones this tv,definitely handles black levels better,than its predecessor the x900h,however in my opinion i think it suffers,from blooming a little bit worse so it,depends on whether youre susceptible to,that but black levels for me probably is,more important than an odd little bit of,blooming on only very rare occasions and,so therefore i would take that certainly,that coupled with the extra hdr,brightness which is around about 800,nits is definitely overall a better,package than its predecessor,now in just a second ill give you an,example of blooming at its worst but,please do bear in mind that weve,cranked the iso up on the camera and so,therefore it is definitely far more,exaggerated than what it would be in,reality you can see from these normal,scenes there isnt really a problem,theres a touch of blooming that you can,pick up however if i was to run this,test it looks absolutely awful but,please be rest assured it is nowhere,near as bad as this it just obviously is,accentuated on this little test,sony this year have moved to google tv,which is pretty much the same as android,tv although i think i like it a little,bit more certainly i think some of the,other reviewers have noticed and i,certainly did was that this is,definitely less gimmicky with adverts,that some of the other operating systems,seem to be moving more and more towards,there is the option where you can have,personalized ads turned on or off but,the general home screen didnt feel like,theyre just trying to push something,towards me how are you feeling about,that guys because it does seem to be,something that is moving more and more,into these tv home screens great that,weve got this operating system like it,is but when theyre just trying to push,things towards you its a real turn off,for me,for a number of years now sony have had,one of the best ways to adjust the,picture almost absolutely every single,setting is there and very easily explain,what it does and also what it will do,when you change it so you can go in and,really customize the picture exactly how,you like it now if you would like a,dedicated video on my exact setup,without going through calibration give,me a shout in the comments let me know,and im happy to do that for you,like with most of these tvs the sound,isnt particularly great i definitely,recommend a 5.1 system or a soundbar,heres an example of what i recorded,coming from it,[Music],so i know its difficult to tell unless,youre listening to it with some good,earphones on but it gives you an idea,overall it just sounds a little bit,tinny because its not able to generate,very good bass the x90j has sonys new,bravia processor the xr processor and it,does an incredible job when it comes to,picture upscaling standard definition,looks like high definition and high,definition looks like

is the sony bravia xr x90j the most,underrated tv in 2021,lets take a look and find out,[Music],hi guys its jonathan from smart home,sounds a home audio visual retailer,based in the uk,today were taking a look at the sony,bravia xr x90jtv,now there are already some great reviews,out there on the x90j which go into a,lot of detail on the spec,but our aim in this video will be to,simplify things down to what you really,need to know,our experience with this tv and cover,some key comparisons with other options,on the market,to help you decide if this is going to,be the right tv for you,ill pop a link to our website below if,you want to check it out and youll also,find the most up-to-date pricing and,offers there too,dont forget we do offer free delivery,and sonys five-year warranty,and our team is always here to have a,chat if youve got any extra questions,make sure you comment your thoughts and,questions down below and weve got,plenty more content,including a full comparison of sonys,2021 lineup coming soon,so dont forget to subscribe so you,dont miss that right lets get into the,video,so in this video well be covering the,x90js design,and setup key features visuals sound,performance and gaming capabilities,im then going to cover comparisons with,other options out there including what,youre missing out on without,oled how this compares with last years,models including both the xh-90,and the xh-95 which i know weve had a,lot of questions about,and how it compares with similar models,in this market,i think there has been a lot of hype,about oled at the moment with a lot of,focus,on the top of the range oled offerings,from sony lg etc,or their new master series tvs and yes,oled does offer an exceptional,experience,however not everyone has the budget for,oled or maybe even the desire,to be dropping that kind of money on a,tv i think non-oled tvs can be a bit,overlooked in favor of the more exciting,tvs on paper,so i wanted to review the x90j as a good,alternative,and to see if its worth considering as,a dark horse this year,first of all before we get into any of,the features can we just take a moment,to appreciate how stunning this beach,footage looks,this is in hawaii and i would love to be,there right now,right enough of the fantasizing lets,kick off the video with the,need to knows about the x90j so the x90j,is sonys new for 2021 full array led tv,replacing last years xh90 model as,always ill break the name down into,simple terms so the xr at the start,refers to the new bravia xr processor,which is powering this tv,the 65 is the screen size x is the model,class which is full array led,90 is the specific model reference and j,signifies that this is a 2021 tv,as you can see it sits in the middle of,their new 2021 lineup with the new x95j,coming later this year being the,flagship full array led option,and then youve obviously got the step,up to oled or down to led,ill be covering comparisons later in,the video but that gives you an idea of,where this tv sits in the sony range,its available in a range of sizes and,prices but a quick disclaimer these the,rrps which have actually,increased slightly since launch but you,might find pricing changes as it always,does with tvs,so the sizes start at 249 pounds for the,50 inch,1399 for the 55 inch 179 for the 65 inch,which is the model weve got here for,testing,and 2 599 pounds for the 75 inch,so moving on to the design then so its,not too different from last years xh90,model,although there are a few tweaks to,highlight so as you can see its got a,really nice thin,bezel around the edge of the screen and,while the tv unit isnt the slimmest,it still offers a sleek appearance in my,opinion,as with all sony tvs it was nice and,simple to get out of the box,even in this larger 65 inch size though,you will need two people,the legs were surprisingly easy to slot,on you literally just sit the tv on top,of the legs,no screws or tools are required you can,of course,warm out this tv or you can adjust the,stands now the standard position is,great for wider tv units and it fits a,wide sound bar comfortably between the,legs,you can also opt for the narrow position,if you have a narrow stand,but this option isnt available in the,50 inch size,taking a closer look the tv is mostly a,durable plastic material,and it doesnt have the same premium,feel as the a90j,but that is to be expected with the,price difference it does still retain,a decent visual appearance overall and,the back panel has this new grid pattern,which i prefer,over last years design the cable,management,isnt as good as the models higher up in,the 2021 range but at least it offers,cable management with the clips on the,feet,to keep it all looking nice and tidy now,in terms of height its perfect for a,sound bar,but obviously cant sit flush with your,tv stand the remote is fine theres,nothing,hugely of note its not their premium,backlit design,but it does have handy buttons here to,jump to the most popular apps,which includes an extra disney plus,button over last years model,and you can actually use this remote for,voice control of the tv,for hands-free control which is a nice,feature if you like using your voice for,control,in terms of setup this was quick and,simple to get going,google tv has replaced the 2020 android,tv interface,and it is noticeably quicker and more,responsive its more,just intuitive to use and allows you to,access your choice of apps and content,and you can really personalize the tv,for you theyve got a huge choice of,apps theyre actually over 5 000 so its,got everything that you could possibly,need,there are some ads though which are a,bit annoying but you can turn off,personalized ads in the settings if you,want to do that,i still much prefer the apple tv,interface but this isnt bad at all and,it is a big upgrade from previous years,having said that there was a recent ui,update on older sony tvs from 2020,which has made some improvements and,thats the great thing that you get with,software updates you also get built-in,chromecast with this tv which is,something to highlight too if youre a,user of that,and you can also access sonys new,streaming service bravia core with this,tv,and you can actually get five free,credits to spend on movies,now weve been generally impressed with,this service it offers something,different to the likes of netflix,as sony has such a huge catalogue of,movies and also includes,exclusive behind the scenes and,backstage footage and interviews which,is worth checking out if youre,interested in that sort of thing,you can also access imax enhanced,content too right lets cover some of,the,key features of this tv then so the x90j,features dolby vision,dolby atmos and support for dts x,it also offers a netflix calibrated mode,which is a nice plus if youre a netflix,binger like me,and means the tv is optimized for the,content that youre watching,now the main thing to highlight with,this tv is that its the first model in,sonys 2021 range,to offer the new bravia xr processor a,step up from the x1 processor in last,years models,so that means that you are accessing the,same processing power used in sonys top,of the range,master series oled tvs and their 8k tv,in models far lower down in the range so,bravia xr uses cognitive intelligence,and its supposed to replicate how we,see and hear to make your visuals and,audio,more true to life and natural if im,being honest i was a little bit,skeptical whether it would be that,different to real life viewing,however the first tv we saw in person,with a bravia,xr processor was the a90j which we,tested against my a8,with the old processor in and although,very subtle at the start,over time you do notice that smaller,details and colours are a lot more,realistic,and it does enhance the overall picture,so the processor is obviously the brains,behind the tv and it powers the picture,audio and everything else like that,again theres a lot of jargon and,technical terms being thrown around such,as,xr contr
