    It does bloom in dark rooms but still not that bad.(no tv is perfect) Over all great value for the money. Plus the colors and motions are amazing. Paid clearance price £1350. And you make great videos!! 👍

      I just went through this, with an A80, A95 (I think), X95, X90, and X75 on the same wall at Best Buy, getting fed the same signal, with the abililty to pause on any frame and examine the picture on each screen. I bought the X90. I went in thinking I might end up buying the A80, or even A95, but found it hard to justify the money. When the salesman paused on an image of a lamp against a black background, and pointed out the blooming, I was dumbfounded, I had to look so closely to see it on either the X90 or X95. I also found the blacker blacks to be a non-benefit, as detail in shadows was clearly lost on the A80 that was visible on the X90, X95, and A95. I found very little difference between the X90 and X95. Even studying high-contrast images where i could see some bloom, it didn't look any different between the two sets. While I found the blacker blacks to be of more novelty value (How many scenes are really true black, and even the bloomed black seemed pretty darn close enough?), I thought the brightness of the X90 / X95 during daylight scenes or scenes with fire or explosion added a lot to the viewing experience. It felt much more like walking outside watching the backlit sets than the OLED sets. I will say, though, that this was in the brightly lit store, so I hope I don't regret the decision when I see it in my dark viewing room. I also have to say that I'm new to video, but as a longtime audiophile, I'm accustomed to looking for differences in equipment performance. So certainly, I don't expect you to take my word as gospel, but consider it as one fo the voices, and see if you see the same things when you go shopping.

    I think one specific usecase that really showcases blooming and difference between backlit, full array, mini led and oled is when on a dark scene such as night scenes in daredevil, captions are turned on.
    On my edgelit LED TV, it is super irritating that a very decent dark scene (possibly decent because I am used to the loss of details in dark scenes), gets greyed out for a second when captions pop up and goes back to very dark again when it goes off.
    This keeps happening as captions are visible or hidden and this alternating greyness is very irritating to the eye and breaks the immersion too. I would request if a chapter can be added showcasing this as it is a very common usecase (at least from my anecdotal experience).

      I'm looking for a new TV and have always been satisfied with Sony, but my TV doesn't have local dimming, and it seems to come with both benefits as well as downsides... I'd like to see some unbiased TCL and Hisense TV reviews, but I feel like most of those reviews are all sponsored and they'll just praise it because they get paid for it.

      The arc is 3.4" or 87mm high so you'll need that much clearance under your TV for this to work. The X90L has a soundbar mode for it's legs so it should fit underneath, but its always worth checking the spec sheets.

    If it wasn't for the blooming issus and around the black bars this would be my smart choice. But the tcl qm8 and Hisense u8k does it so much better in that department due to its more local dimming zones and mini led but the sony has a better motion and upscaling and colour with a very slight sharpness to it due to the chip inside so for me it's either the tcl qm8 or the sony x90l

    I really appreciate your reviews; thanks! I'm trying to decide between the X90L and the X93L; we mainly watch broadcast (news, etc) and movies; no gaming to speak of. "Semi" bright room, viewing is within a few degrees of straight-on. Is there a distinct advantage to the "mini" LED vs. the X90's LED? Worth the $1k difference? We can afford either; just looking for the most logical choice for our viewing. Thanks!!

      No impact on broadcast but when we talk about watching movies in a semi bright room. Mini led will be a better choice because of increased brightness and also because of colours. Premium tv also bring additional perks like better speakers and software so if you have the budget go for a mini led tv

      I would say you should decide what your priorities are, if bright daytime scenes or dark nighttime scenes are more important to you. That's what it came down to for me, and I chose the X90L over the A80L, based on viewing in-store. But if the darkest blacks are very important to you (or some other aspect, like picture clarity), the A80 could be a very sensible choice. The other thing to consider is if the gains in going to an X90L will outweigh the losses. I hate losing something I've already gotten used to, even if I gain something else. But everyone is different in that regard. Time for some soul-searching. Good luck with whatever you choose. I can't wait to get my X90 to see if I made the right choice.

      @@palmlifeuk3553 Hi, I've had the TV for a while now, and I feel like I made an excellent choice. My room isn't very big, but I can sit anywhere on the couch directly opposite it, without any noticeable degradation. If I stand near the TV an d off to the side, the colors get a little washed out, but not really too bad. Nothing like TVs of years ago, where the picture would be seriously hard to see. By the time you get to that angle, the view is so skewed geometrically, it's unpleasant to watch, all pretense of fidelity is gone, and the loss of intensity is the least of the problems.
      Maybe if you're a very experienced and fussy viewer, you could see something, so check one out for yourself to be sure. But honestly, I don't see any difference with off-axis viewing under normal conditions at all.

    Great review on the X90L! I have my mind pretty much set on the 85" X90L. However, when I went to the store recently and seeing a side-by-side comparison with Samsung QN85C, I'm having a dilemma here. The Samsung QN85C seems to have better pictures when playing some Amazon Prime movies, and I like how slim they are. However, I'm a Sony fan, so I'm kind of torn on which one to get.
    By any chance you have plan to compare this two TV in your future video? If not, do you have a recommendation on which one you would get?

      I feel like Samsung and LG have a "short-term image quality guarantee" Lol. Like they look beautiful at first then the image starts to degrade as the years go by. I've never seen a Sony tv image degrade, well yet at least. I've seen more Samsung TVs break over any other tv (I actually saw 3 at the dumper this year lol). Like you mentioned " I like how slim they are". I think that slim build makes them very fragile. Also, I always like to think about all the products a company makes. I feel like Sony ONLY works with TV, gaming, movies, music, etc. On the other hand, Samsung has all that above and more! Cell phones, fridges, washer machines, etc. I personally feel like that takes away from a Samsung working on quality TV monitors because their main focus isn't perfecting TVs. If you get what I'm saying.

      X90L has (for the price u pay) sever blooming. And it has Matte finish on the screen. A80L is great black but sever black crushing. VERY dim. Like 800nits etc. it’s too dim for extra money u pay. They are both like can get phased out within 3 yrs if getting either. If u see anything day time like bright scenes most UA-cam shows influncers are shoot in their contents in bright room. The contrast of medium low shades to medium high shade is so low, adding color on top. Things can look VERY flat very quick. U better off getting those X93L or those HIsnese U8K or Samsung Qn90C type of thing INCKY black i saw in store. :) yeah that x90L looks VERY dull in person.

I think it’s the “besta” model, but you should look through all of them, there’s a ton of different sizes and variations with the same vibe. There’s center cubbies, no cubbies just slats, cubbies on the ends, floating stands, stands with legs, stands that sit on the ground etc. good luck!

If you care mostly about gaming Id say x85k on budget which has very stable clear picture with no issues, jus no deep blacks. or if you want to invest the extra money to get strong black levels id go all the way to the x93 which is a much better tv than the x90

The c3 and a80l were close but I actually found the a80l to place the highlights in better spots with greater impact, also depth and color volume was better imo on sony and provided a more 3 dimensional picture where as the c3 came out a little too flat. Which shows messurements dont tell the whole story of performance. Also sony motion was much better than the c3, i found the s90 could get closer to a80 but the sony was clearly the best in dialing in the motion especially for movies to my liking (no soa). They are all good tvs, im coming from an lg oled and samsung flagship before that. This is my first sony and i am understanding why so many people are willing to pay the price premium for sonys over the other two. I returned the other 2 and kept the a80.
