By 2022, most consumers have the same opinion OLED TV is the leading product line, better and more expensive than the QLED and LED lines. That’s it. But recently the birth of the Sony LED TV model XR-65X90K has somewhat blurred this boundary.
Not just samples LED TV Sony’s most expensive, feature-rich 65-inch, whose color and performance are said to approach OLED. So, are these assessments completely correct? And can this LED TV model turn the OLED market upside down?
Design overview of Google TV Sony 65 inch 4K XR-65X90K
First, let’s take a look at the specifications of the device 4K TV This.
This is the second variant in the series, it also has three more sizes: 55 inches, 75 inches and 85 inches so users can choose to suit the usage area. The TV will be equipped with an Ultra-HD Triluminos LED screen, a 4K screen with a scan frequency of up to 120Hz.
Viewed from the front, sample Sony TV This 65 inch is beautiful without anything to criticize, sophisticated with mysterious black color, thin edges so users can focus better on the displayed content. However, its weight is not light at all, approximately 18.5 kg after installing the stand.
The TV stand is made of alloy, very sturdy, it lifts the TV just enough to place a soundbar in front, or users can also hang it on the wall for a more modern look.
The TV itself has a very rich number of ports: 4 HDMI ports (including 2 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz output and VRR), 2 USB-A ports, Ethernet, Optical, Composite, antenna and 3.5 mm ports. Overall, this is a TV model with a very stylish design, both beautiful and extremely functional.
Remote control included Sony XR-65X90K Compared to previous generation Bravia lines, the number of buttons is minimized but there are still a few buttons for quick access to applications such as Youtube, NetFlix, Prime Video.
User experience
Setup is easy enough through the Google TV UI, and features like Living Décor, ChromeCast, Apple AirPlay are built in for those who need it. The operating system platform chosen is Android TV 10 which uses a method of displaying favorite content from various online services.
Although it’s unclear what the TV’s configuration is, multitasking is extremely smooth, with no stuttering when switching between applications. If you are using a cheap TV and are familiar with this phenomenon, you may be completely annoyed because it is no longer available on this Sony TV.
Efficiency
Now we will get to the main point, how is the display quality of this LED TV model and whether it is suitable for the price or not.
First, with the help of Dolby Vision, HLG and HDR10, content will generally have a higher dynamic range than usual, plus Sony’s famous XR perception processor will analyze images and make them look more ‘real’ by adjusting the color, contrast and sharpness. Just from this ‘paper’ information alone, it is enough to see that it is very promising.
Sony equips the XR-65X90K with a high-quality VA panel with full-array backlighting and local dimming (lighting pixels from the back instead of from around the edges) to help make blacks deeper and easily visible from a distance. But not only that, the display colors are also great with impressive brightness. Sony has used an ambient light sensor to adjust screen brightness according to the amount of light available, meaning it’s as bright as possible in daytime viewing conditions and automatically dimmed when you turn the lights off.
Coming with many of the most advanced imaging technologies, it is obvious that this Sony 4K TV model is only suitable for experiencing high-resolution HDR content. However, even low-resolution content becomes sharper and more beautiful on the Sony XR-65X90K when motion smoothing is turned on.
Regarding speakers, the 30W capacity plus Sony’s impressive sound tuning capabilities can theoretically make you not need a soundbar. But in reality, the volume is still somewhat limited. If you want more vivid and realistic sound, it’s best to still buy a set.
Should I buy Google TV Sony 65 inch 4K XR-65X90K or not?
The final question is whether we should spend money on this LED TV, or not buy TV OLED.
Honestly, OLED is currently leading in terms of color display and deep black levels. If you want the best, most beautiful TV and don’t care about price, OLED is your choice. But if you want something that is close to, superior to the rest of the segment and placed next to an OLED TV that is not too far apart, the Sony XR-65X90K will be extremely valuable.
Be aware that not every company can do the same thing Sony is doing: applying new technology is simple, but changing old technology to become even better is difficult.
Advantage: Outstanding brightness, good color accuracy and contrast, refined and full-featured software experience, rich port selection.
Disadvantages: Bulky design, sound could be louder
Scoring: 8/10
