Hi TS, I have a LG 65 inch un6950zua, I had to make some adjustments to picture, and so far it looks great, but the only thing I don't like about this TV are the dark scenes or dimming zones, so I guess there's no way to fix it, it looks like I may have to get a better TV like that Sony you're reviewing or a LG qned
I have a Vizio M55-E0 from 2017. The operating system sucks its only 60 hz only 32 dimming zones and the dimming zones are very slow to react to content. There is also no motion control. It does have a wide color gamet with dolby vision so HDR does look pretty decent. I do love how you can create your own picture presets and name them what you want. I use that feature a lot. I have a preset for every source.
I bought this tv about 3 weeks ago. It is awesome. At first, I got the Hisense U7H. At first, image quality was amazing. UA-cam 4k HDR videos were so vivid and vibrant. Then, I watched some Netflix and I could not believe my eyes. The black was lifted, looking more gray. Extreme ghosting and posterization in a lot of dark scenes. I decided to get the Sony X90K and did a side by side comparison. The Sony was more natural and realistic. Movies on this tv look insane. Best of all, no motion issues at all. I don't know if anyone else does this but with this tv, I am always switching picture modes... going through the various ones to see which I like best. I am driving myself crazy doing this with everything that I watch. I never did this with my old tvs.
I bought hisense U8H IN 75 inch but if you're lucky to find one in stock or even in any size, got very close picture quality and blacks like Sony 95k and saved over thousand dollars buying that rip off 👍🤙
I just bought this tv and I love it so far. The HDR is great and was the main reason why I got it. Only downside is the blooming but I dont mind dealing with it since the rest of the experience is great. I have it paired with the new Apple TV 4K and that just brings it to another level when connected to the HomePods.
I saw your other review video for this tv and you sold me! I got this tv from Costco for $1000! With the aluminum backlit remote. Super excited to set it up and play my ps5
Really great review and I'd say still 100% on. Got the XR-85X90K in a deal two weeks ago and it still is a great TV, even though the 90L series and Mini-LED is pushed by Sony (and others) today.
I think I'm going to go for the X90K. They've come down in price and I trust Sony. I also want to get a PS5 at some point and some Sony surround sound speakers. I mainly watch movies/youtube stuff for now. But gaming will come in to play eventually. I'm coming from a 50 inch 1080p Philips flatscreen TV. Not even a smart TV.
I have the 50 inch x85j. Only thing I wish it had was brighter light levels on HDR and maybe slightly better viewing angles. Other than that I am extremely happy with it.
I have a 2015 sony bravia which is starting to fail, I'm contemplating buying this TV. It's on sale at the moment in Australia as the 2023 TV models are coming in next month. There's so many TV on the market I feel this TV is one of the best before jumping up a class to OLED models
I bought the Sony X 85K based on your review. I appreciate your engineering background I’m going to get this Sony X 90 K for my living room for my gaming I want something with more bells and whistles and the X 90 K comes with a few things that the 85 doesn’t such as VRR or being able to play video games on 120 HZ, and HDMI three or four/ Thank you for making my decision the better XR processor plus VRR plus better stock sound makes it the right choice. You could go with a Bravia at seven but those are $500 more and you can go with an expensive 880 OLED or a 95 OLED but those are two to $3000
Well Steve you asked what TV I own. Just an old 32 inch XBR 9 Sony Bravia from many years ago. So when I decide to finally upgrade It will be a major upgrade. Its about 13 years old but hasn't missed a beat. Still love the classic Sony picture. Always have. :) This is why I love Sony. They last and the pictures are great!!! Nice review my friend. I always love your presentations. Joe
@@TechSteve Its been an amazing TV Steve. How would this new Sony X90K be for watching sports? Pretty amazing I imagine? I will be scanning black Friday deals today and tomorrow. I just might bite on a 55 inch one. I am not a gamer so I don't worry about that aspect. A good experience watching the Boston Red Sox and New England Sports is where I am at. Love watching Star Trek too. Can I ask what part of the country you live in ? Have an awesome Thanksgiving my friend. Joe
Most tvs are good watching sports the issues is that some people don’t have a good source, i use the UA-cam TV app and everything looks great so I don’t know what bad is anymore.
Guys, X90K is simply fantastic, just blindly go for it anything above 65 inches....im just enjoying it... If you are concerned about the price of a80k and the durability of oled,then just go for x90k..it's worth the bucks....just ignore the negatives and blooming thing what the internet community worries upon.. It's a no-Brainer!
Had no problem setting this tv up all by myself as far as getting it onto the entertainment stand etc. Just gotta do some serious man arm spreading hahaha. came from a Vizio and the quality on this Sony is unreal!
At the moment I have a Samsung tu7000 2020 model, it was a great entry point into 4K however with only 1 draw back for me, no 120hz gaming. So I have purchased this Sony x90k to make use of my PS5 just waiting on another wall bracket so I can move the Samsung upstairs, can’t wait to have the Sony all hocked up on Thursday 🎉 Love the content Steve, have a great Christmas ❤
Getting this TV for xmas. Super excited, especially since I’m upgrading from a $300 budget Toshiba tv that around 200 nits. Excited to finally be able to use HDR and not have it look awful
Thank you, Steve for the review. They need to drop LCDs down to the X80 tier and start rolling out mini leds on their X90 series with more dimming zones and improve local dimming. A dedicated gaming menu or bar would help at this point. New mediatek.. More 2.1 ports for those who don't want to give up a port for eARC
@@TechSteve Its time for Sony to get aggressive again in the gaming feature department if they really want to push those Playstation 5s next year and make consumers believe that their TVs are the best when paired together with their beautiful picture 🖼 philosophy. Wifi 6/6E would be nice 😎 as a bonus 😂
Saw one of these in store the other day marketed as X90SU in the UK. I was interested as need a 50 inch ideally for space and seems to be the last opportunity to buy a mid-high spec Sony that isn’t OLED at this size. I must admit I was shocked how cheap it feels and the thick plastic bezels. Not even in the same league as my X950H which is not only a more upmarket design but also a really good TV.
Thanks for the review. I want to buy a new tv and I'm considering Sony LED 65X90K or LG QNED 65QNED813QA. The price is similar in my country. What do you think it's the best option from those two ?
Hi Steve, I bought the Sony 65inch A8F nearly 4 years ago and now considering buying this X95K 85 inch. The use is purely for watching TV and no gaming. Should I do it and will I be losing the OLED quality on the existing A8F? The new 85inch Sony OLED is way too expensive. Is Samsung 85inch QLED a better alternative? They seem to be much cheaper than Sony’s.
Had the XR-55X90K delivered this week. Question: The Control Menu that appears at the bottom of the screen each time the TV is powered on, can it be disabled so that it only appears when the 123 button on the remote is pushed ? The menu does disappear on its own but it takes too long; it's annoying and I don't want to have to push the 123 button every time to make it go away.
Hey Steve great video im stuck between this tv in 85inch and Samsungs Q80B QLED tv in 85 inch. What would you recommend the Sony at 1,999 before tax or the Samsung at 1,699 before tax?
I know Im late to the game, but I purchased this tv at BB as an open box 75" for $900 and they threw in a sanus tv stand because it was missing the feet. I will say this though, I love this tv for mutilpurpose use especially after the updates. There is hardly no blooming or light bleed at all now! and they added a game bar for those that care about that... 4k movies look great! gaming looks great! Processing is King too
Great review, thank you. I bought a 65'' A80K, Sony OLED recently and I see this X90K 75'' with the same price as A80K. What is your suggestion of changing my TV from A80K to X90K? I am more interested in Picture quality and I am a Sony fan since a long years..
Just got this today in a 75 from Costco, theirs has the lit remote! I spent three days, about 8 hours per day researching TVs and was torn between this and the a80 or LGB2. Ultimately, the other two were too difficult to find in stock and I haven't had good experiences with LG in the past. I just decided it wasn't worth the hassle of having to wait for the OLED and my living room does get fairly bright. Civil reviews made comments about this having disappointing blacks, but I simply don't see it. It's been everything I'd hoped for a new TV! Your review was much more fair in my opinion, thanks!
@@rootedrotor525 Yes, it does. Great. The only annoyance i have is that the screen does catch quite a bit of glare if you have lights on the ceiling in the room for dark scenes.
I have a 65" of this - bought it about 3 weeks ago. Am very happy with it. Am enjoying my PS5 with 120Hz gaming. Just one thing - you had listed PS5 Cap[ability with 120Hz at 1080p, when I can actually play games on this model 120fps at 2160 x 3840p - and I believe that to be much better. This TV is PS5 VRR Compatible too - so that is a nice touch. The only sad thing about the PS5 with this X90K is that it will not let me encode the new "1440p" 4K upgrade with PS5. Now that is a bummer I don't know what the hell is going on. Cool video. Definitely not the best TV but by far not the worst!
Hi Josh - What do you mean by "encode the new "1440p" 4K upgrade with PS5"? Is this a limitation? I would like to get the most of out of my PS5. Thanks!
Thank you for your review Steve. I would like to know, if you please to answer, if there is a very noticeable difference for the image quality watching movies or just a slight difference between the X85K and X90K
i just checked them side by side in the mall, and there is a huge difference (in my opinion) there is softness in the 85k and the blacks are incredible in the 90k. the 200 dollar difference was a bit but id say worth it.
I'm thinking about getting this televison and have Directv. Do you think it will be fine with watching through the box or would you recommend using the tv app through the roku or firestick if i'm watching live tv? I'm not sure if it would be in HDR or SDR. I'm hoping to get one by the opening day of baseball.
I notice all the new TVs have less inputs and outputs. My Sony Bravia 4K HDR Android TV from 2017 has so many inputs,outputs. I was about to buy a new one but this annoyed me.
@@TechSteve Hi Thanks for the reply, which model the Sony 90K or an LG OLED would you go for? or be a better value overall? Mostly for day-to-day viewing and films. Minus the speakers or gaming usage. Thanks
@Tech Steve Hi No problems, how bad is the blooming, and still a good choice the Sony? Thanks for the help, great content, and video that you are making. Much respect and thanks from the UK. Thanks again for taking the time to reply, lot of money so any help is useful 👍
Great videos Tech Steve! I'm so glad I found your channel!! However I'm stuck in between a few tv's right now. Which do you think is the better option with all of these tv's being within a couple dollars difference? Sony X90K, Samsung QN85B, or the Hisense U8H?
Hello sir .. what about motion blur.. i watch movies.. i am confused between samsung qled Qled q70b and sony x90k.. which tv mention motion properly.. thanku
Pretty much a hard-core gamer using the Xbox series x. Im always playing call of duty and Battlefield games. Would this be a better choice than TCL Series 6 -Model r646?
So I've been looking at a couple different TVs that can run the ps5 like the X90J and few samsung tvs and the x90k and I'm really leaning toward this one 1 just really want to make sure that my final decision is the best 1
I own the 85 inch x900h for more than a year now. I'm planning to get a brighter TV because we have a big window beside the TV making us on vivid during day time. Just checked the x95k it's twice the price of the x90k and my wife will kick me out of the house. I might wait for a good sale and wash more dishes the mean time. 😅
Great review! looking to grab either this or the Samsung Q80B for Black Friday. Both seem to have good and bad, I do mostly gaming in the dark so leaning Sony even though the response is slightly slower just due to the black's and brightness. Although on Rtings website I compared the two and on Black Frame Insertion the Sony was rated a 6.0 vs the Samsung a 10.0. Does Black Frame Insertion matter a lot? Again I'm using this for the most part gaming at night, usually in low light to darkness but do occasionally watch TV/Movies on it in regular light or dim. Cheers, great vid!
The x90k is gonna be a better tv over the q80b. Sonys image processing is light years ahead smasung also I had the samsung qn90b which I returned because very bad image processing and the q80b is even worse. I ordered the Sony a95k 65in
@@abhilashrao1392 I ended up getting the LG C1 OLED. It was on sale as well on Black Friday for $1900 so grabbed it. Bit more than I wanted to spend but I think worth it, it was $400 less than the C2 and from what I read they're pretty similar. Great blacks and gaming looks amazing, can be a little dark during the day if sun is shining in but I mostly use it at night for movies and gaming.
I just bought this tv a couple weeks ago. Have been really happy with it. But that’s because it replaced a 55” Vizio D series. So this tv is way better. I don’t do any gaming so I haven’t noticed any issues with that part. I do wish the processor was faster like the Apple 4K tv I had, but it’s very close. Was on sale for $1699 so I bought it. It also looked better than the Visio P series quantum when side by side. Now I’m seeing it on sale at Costco for $1499 coming in the next couple weeks. Wish I could have bought the OLED version but it’s double the price and there’s no way I would pay that price. All in all it’s a good bargain.
Really not to happy picture when watching cable tv,looks like it could be sharper and crisper. Have the 75 inch seems like aspect ratio is off to me. Recommend any settings for this issue?
A dynamite review!!! One question: In your expertise which tv would you consider the superior set overall: this Sony X90 or the Samsung q80B? I'm torn between which to purchase in a 75 inch version. I would really appreciate your help in making my final choice. Please inform and many thanks! 🙏♐
I was keeping an eye on last year's 55X94J, but got a nice deal for the 55X94K. Can't wait to install it. My use case: streaming movies and series and gaming on PS4 Pro (and PS5 in the future?) I'll try the sound before looking for a Sony soundbar. Greetings from a Sony fanboy, hihihi
My man engineering background based on your review for my master bedroom I got the Sony X 85K for my living room I want something more I like the VRR plus the two to one plus the 120 H. and I love how it’s perfect for the PlayStation five I also like the upgraded processor plus the upgraded sound you don’t even really need to add a sound bar but you can. I also like that it is compatible with my MacBook Air that I recently got I’m just waiting for Amazon prime because it is currently 1300 hopefully it’ll be closer to 1100 Sony $85,000 so you might as well just pay 2 to $300 more and get the better TV. This is the bestoption without going to models like the A 80 and A95 OLE:me
Not sure i agree with the gaming comment. Hdmi 2.1 supports 4k120 as does the ps5 with both VRR and ALLM. Are we saying that despite it having a 2.1 the TV itself is throttled to 4k60? Doesn't make sense as i have a 75 2021 model of an xh90/95 with lower specs which can support this
Hey mate, i am very confused between sony 80/85k, sony x90k, sam q80b, sam the frame 2022 and the sam bu8000. If you can suggest me one out them, anyone you think will be the best in that price range, than that would be really helpful. I am not a gamer, all i want is a good tv to watch OTT and local tv channels in India. Thanks in advance
For a full just movie experience the x85k should fulfill all your needs, better grays better blacks and a tiny bit better hdr but it doesn't have local dimming. So the x85k for a dark room would be just fine
I've spent the weekend looking at TVs, I thkn this is hte one I will buy. Looking at the A80 and X93, I preferred the brightness of the X93. I suppose there si some blooming and chnage wiht viewing angle that the OLED doesn't have, but I found these effects to be trivial, whereas the way the X93 captured the light of outdoor scenes seemed a very significant upgrade to me. Even in some of the darker scenes, I noticed a loss of detail in the shadow areas in the A80. While the salesman tried ot tell me that the extra detail in the scenes of the A80 was a false artifact that the director didn't want us to see, I could see some of that same detail in the brighter OLED (I think it was anA95K). I struggled hard to see any difference between the X93 and the X90. I know I was supposed to see more blooming and less brightness, but in real world, it was hard to see. I would occasionally see slightly more vivid color in the X93, and at one point, the salesman paused hte image on a specific scene where the skin tones were much more natural on the X93, but when I repeated the pause on other scenes, I could not find a similar effect, and neither could the salesman. I wonder how much of what I saw was due to the way the TVs were set up. In one shop, there was an A80 and A95 adjacent to each other, and there was very littel difference, whereas in another shop, the 2 looked quite different. I preferred the Sony to the LG, as hte LG motion seemed a bit stuttery compared to the Sony, although much better than many TVs I've seen in this regard.
Great review Steve. I currently have a 55 inch X90J. Am moving into a new place and am looking for a 65 inch tv. From what I understand this replaced the X90J. Some reviews I read say the J is better and some say the K. I was curious to as your thoughts between the 2.
Thanks for the review! What’s your thoughts on the X90K vs the Samsung Q80B? I’m a Sony/LG/Panasonic fan but I’m finding a lot of mixed reviews on this years Sony. Thanks in advance!
Samsung is more prone to dirty screen effect, Sony has cleaner panel, sometimes a little dark corners but nothing like Samsung TV. I'll avoid Samsung for sure
Hey steve i have a question looking for a great Tv watch movies but mainly for gaming i have both ps5 and xbox series x i saw one i dont know if u have reviewed it yet i like this on the Sony 75inch class bravia xr x90k 4k hdr full array Led google. Thanks
Hello, i have Sony X850E 2017 model, actually does it worth to upgrade to X90k for gaming regardless of VRR, will i see a big difference in resolution?

They need to drop LCDs down to the X80 tier and start rolling out mini leds on their X90 series with more dimming zones and improve local dimming. A dedicated gaming menu or bar would help at this point.

Agreed
@@TechSteve Its time for Sony to get aggressive again in the gaming feature department if they really want to push those Playstation 5s next year and make consumers believe that their TVs are the best when paired together with their beautiful picture 🖼 philosophy. Wifi 6/6E would be nice 😎 as a bonus 😂
Yes sirrrrr
@@FredT1988 Sony's TV and Playstation division clearly don't communicate.
@@dperr338 which is upsetting
I just bought this tv 75". Can't wait to get it.
great review, just wondering how x90k compare with samsung Q80B? can't decide which one is better
Thinking the same
Bought one two days ago, installing next couple days. Best Buy $1499.99. Was $2000.00. Nice technical data, Well done.
I got my X95j 65” $1089 so happy with the tv!
Saw one of these in store the other day marketed as X90SU in the UK. I was interested as need a 50 inch ideally for space and seems to be the last opportunity to buy a mid-high spec Sony that isn’t OLED at this size. I must admit I was shocked how cheap it feels and the thick plastic bezels. Not even in the same league as my X950H which is not only a more upmarket design but also a really good TV.
Thanks for the review. I want to buy a new tv and I'm considering Sony LED 65X90K or LG QNED 65QNED813QA. The price is similar in my country. What do you think it's the best option from those two ?
Hi Steve, I bought the Sony 65inch A8F nearly 4 years ago and now considering buying this X95K 85 inch. The use is purely for watching TV and no gaming. Should I do it and will I be losing the OLED quality on the existing A8F? The new 85inch Sony OLED is way too expensive. Is Samsung 85inch QLED a better alternative? They seem to be much cheaper than Sony’s.
Planning on getting the 85 inch. Is the Clarity the same compared to the smaller versions. Back in the day bigger was more pixelated.
Had the XR-55X90K delivered this week. Question: The Control Menu that appears at the bottom of the screen each time the TV is powered on, can it be disabled so that it only appears when the 123 button on the remote is pushed ? The menu does disappear on its own but it takes too long; it's annoying and I don't want to have to push the 123 button every time to make it go away.
Hey Steve! Thanks for rewiew! Can you tell what would you prefer for the same price? 65" X95k or 75" X90k? thanks!
Sorry I haven’t filmed the 95k but it’s a highend model
Solid review, covered all the important topics for the average user. Helped me make my decision
Thanks for your Video , Today i buy this TV from Sony World Jeddah-Saudi Arabia , it's fine , Thanks so much for your review
Hey Steve great video im stuck between this tv in 85inch and Samsungs Q80B QLED tv in 85 inch. What would you recommend the Sony at 1,999 before tax or the Samsung at 1,699 before tax?
I know Im late to the game, but I purchased this tv at BB as an open box 75" for $900 and they threw in a sanus tv stand because it was missing the feet. I will say this though, I love this tv for mutilpurpose use especially after the updates. There is hardly no blooming or light bleed at all now! and they added a game bar for those that care about that... 4k movies look great! gaming looks great! Processing is King too
Great review, thank you. I bought a 65'' A80K, Sony OLED recently and I see this X90K 75'' with the same price as A80K. What is your suggestion of changing my TV from A80K to X90K? I am more interested in Picture quality and I am a Sony fan since a long years..
Don t do it, you lose a lot of picture quality switching from your oled pixel level control to a FALD TV with less than 100 zones
would you recommended X90K over TCL C835?
Just got this today in a 75 from Costco, theirs has the lit remote! I spent three days, about 8 hours per day researching TVs and was torn between this and the a80 or LGB2. Ultimately, the other two were too difficult to find in stock and I haven't had good experiences with LG in the past. I just decided it wasn't worth the hassle of having to wait for the OLED and my living room does get fairly bright.
Civil reviews made comments about this having disappointing blacks, but I simply don't see it. It's been everything I'd hoped for a new TV! Your review was much more fair in my opinion, thanks!
It does good in your bright room? thanks
@@rootedrotor525 Yes, it does. Great. The only annoyance i have is that the screen does catch quite a bit of glare if you have lights on the ceiling in the room for dark scenes.
Is the 75inch blurry???
I have a 65" of this - bought it about 3 weeks ago. Am very happy with it. Am enjoying my PS5 with 120Hz gaming. Just one thing - you had listed PS5 Cap[ability with 120Hz at 1080p, when I can actually play games on this model 120fps at 2160 x 3840p - and I believe that to be much better. This TV is PS5 VRR Compatible too - so that is a nice touch. The only sad thing about the PS5 with this X90K is that it will not let me encode the new "1440p" 4K upgrade with PS5. Now that is a bummer I don't know what the hell is going on. Cool video. Definitely not the best TV but by far not the worst!
I noticed the typo on the video too late but it’s 4k120
@@TechSteve so the max for 120fps is 2160p? Not 1080p
And you get that on the series x too or only the ps5?
@@deijannoreiga3924 Yes- VRR and up to 120hz 3840 × 2160 which is very good.
Hi Josh - What do you mean by "encode the new "1440p" 4K upgrade with PS5"? Is this a limitation? I would like to get the most of out of my PS5. Thanks!
Great and thorough review!
Thank you for your review Steve. I would like to know, if you please to answer, if there is a very noticeable difference for the image quality watching movies or just a slight difference between the X85K and X90K
i just checked them side by side in the mall, and there is a huge difference (in my opinion) there is softness in the 85k and the blacks are incredible in the 90k. the 200 dollar difference was a bit but id say worth it.
Whats the diferrence between x94k and x90k?
Great demo Steve thanks, can you use your air pods with this TV?
Yes, just press the pairing button and scan for them
How does the x90k compare to the x85k especially in gaming? Is it a real upgrade? Is it worth the extra money?
It’s a 10Bit instead of 8 Bit and the processor delivers a true 120Hz
If I have to choose between x90k and Samsung 80b,which one would you recommend?
Do I need special screw to wall mount this?
Great review.Please can you tell me what android version hast this TV
It was a loner
Google TV version 10 not 11. it's Google TV not Android TV but you can cancel the UI of Google and return to Android TV UI
Hey Steve looking to get good quality tv for movie and general use. Would you recommend this model.
It sounds like most of this TV’s drawbacks are related to gaming. As a non-gamer, I’m putting this one on my short list.
I'm thinking about getting this televison and have Directv. Do you think it will be fine with watching through the box or would you recommend using the tv app through the roku or firestick if i'm watching live tv? I'm not sure if it would be in HDR or SDR. I'm hoping to get one by the opening day of baseball.
I notice all the new TVs have less inputs and outputs. My Sony Bravia 4K HDR Android TV from 2017 has so many inputs,outputs. I was about to buy a new one but this annoyed me.
Because you can do everything with HDMI now
Hi
How would this tv compare to an Oled LG C2? Or Oleds in general? Night and day difference?
Thank You
Brighter but has blooming
@@TechSteve
Hi
Thanks for the reply, which model the Sony 90K or an LG OLED would you go for? or be a better value overall? Mostly for day-to-day viewing and films. Minus the speakers or gaming usage.
Thanks
I’m like the brightest TV but i don’t recommend models
@Tech Steve
Hi
No problems, how bad is the blooming, and still a good choice the Sony?
Thanks for the help, great content, and video that you are making. Much respect and thanks from the UK.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply, lot of money so any help is useful 👍
That’s not something that you can describe, i think i should some footage
X90k or samsung q80b for casual tv watching Netflix and football games?
Can you raise the height of this tv to fit a soundbar?
Great videos Tech Steve! I'm so glad I found your channel!! However I'm stuck in between a few tv's right now. Which do you think is the better option with all of these tv's being within a couple dollars difference? Sony X90K, Samsung QN85B, or the Hisense U8H?
Sorry I don’t recommend models
I just bought this tv for pick up tomorrow, don’t even know if it’ll fit in my focus 😂 my sister back up Mazda Cx is on the ready though, so excited!
Congratulations
Great review! I ordered this tv and subscribed!
👍
Thanks 🤓
Hello sir .. what about motion blur.. i watch movies.. i am confused between samsung qled Qled q70b and sony x90k.. which tv mention motion properly.. thanku
Pretty much a hard-core gamer using the Xbox series x. Im always playing call of duty and Battlefield games. Would this be a better choice than TCL Series 6 -Model r646?
So I've been looking at a couple different TVs that can run the ps5 like the X90J and few samsung tvs and the x90k and I'm really leaning toward this one 1 just really want to make sure that my final decision is the best 1
I own the 85 inch x900h for more than a year now. I'm planning to get a brighter TV because we have a big window beside the TV making us on vivid during day time. Just checked the x95k it's twice the price of the x90k and my wife will kick me out of the house. I might wait for a good sale and wash more dishes the mean time. 😅
Is x90k is the same as Costco x90ck?
Great review! looking to grab either this or the Samsung Q80B for Black Friday. Both seem to have good and bad, I do mostly gaming in the dark so leaning Sony even though the response is slightly slower just due to the black's and brightness. Although on Rtings website I compared the two and on Black Frame Insertion the Sony was rated a 6.0 vs the Samsung a 10.0.
Does Black Frame Insertion matter a lot? Again I'm using this for the most part gaming at night, usually in low light to darkness but do occasionally watch TV/Movies on it in regular light or dim.
Cheers, great vid!
The x90k is gonna be a better tv over the q80b. Sonys image processing is light years ahead smasung also I had the samsung qn90b which I returned because very bad image processing and the q80b is even worse. I ordered the Sony a95k 65in
@@habeebs1992 so you suggest x90k over qn90b?? I feel the motion is good in qn90b share Ure thoughts.. I would like to buy one
Please let us know I am planning to buy this or Samsung qn90b
@@abhilashrao1392 I ended up getting the LG C1 OLED. It was on sale as well on Black Friday for $1900 so grabbed it. Bit more than I wanted to spend but I think worth it, it was $400 less than the C2 and from what I read they're pretty similar. Great blacks and gaming looks amazing, can be a little dark during the day if sun is shining in but I mostly use it at night for movies and gaming.
Just bought one and waiting for it to arrive! Hope I don't regret it lol
I just bought this tv a couple weeks ago. Have been really happy with it. But that’s because it replaced a 55” Vizio D series. So this tv is way better. I don’t do any gaming so I haven’t noticed any issues with that part. I do wish the processor was faster like the Apple 4K tv I had, but it’s very close. Was on sale for $1699 so I bought it. It also looked better than the Visio P series quantum when side by side. Now I’m seeing it on sale at Costco for $1499 coming in the next couple weeks. Wish I could have bought the OLED version but it’s double the price and there’s no way I would pay that price. All in all it’s a good bargain.
I haven’t look at Vizios lately, maybe i should buy a few and try them out. That’s great that you’re satisfied and it is great for gaming
Vizios have always made excellent 1080 TVs, but personally I'd stick with LG, Samsung, and Sony if you're going 4k
I’m getting one from Amazon for $989. Just waiting for Black Friday.
@TechSteve, this or the Samsung 65Q80b? Thanks!
Really not to happy picture when watching cable tv,looks like it could be sharper and crisper. Have the 75 inch seems like aspect ratio is off to me. Recommend any settings for this issue?
I have a X900F and plan to upgrade to the X90K without switching my wall mount. Will the same mounting screws for x900f (M6) fit the back of the x90k?
Which is better for prominently sd/ hd channel X80k or X90k in 55 inches? Please help
Qual tv seria melhor para meu uso que só gosto de assistir canais abertos, a Sony 65x90k ou a Sony 65x77L?
A dynamite review!!! One question: In your expertise which tv would you consider the superior set overall: this Sony X90 or the Samsung q80B? I'm torn between which to purchase in a 75 inch version. I would really appreciate your help in making my final choice. Please inform and many thanks! 🙏♐
Am also in the same situation now...May I know what decision you made
What Have you purchased ?
Hi, I need to know which TV to choose between Sony xr55x90k or Lg 55qned876.
How does this compare to the Samsung Q80BD (Costco)? Is there one better than the other?
Just bought this tv. Color out of the box way out. Rtings has some calibration numbers avail. It does dial it in a lot more. I use a Sonos sound bar
I was keeping an eye on last year's 55X94J, but got a nice deal for the 55X94K. Can't wait to install it.
My use case: streaming movies and series and gaming on PS4 Pro (and PS5 in the future?)
I'll try the sound before looking for a Sony soundbar.
Greetings from a Sony fanboy, hihihi
X90k or X85k for PS5 purpose price wise?
Is this better than the X85k?
My man engineering background based on your review for my master bedroom I got the Sony X 85K for my living room I want something more I like the VRR plus the two to one plus the 120 H. and I love how it’s perfect for the PlayStation five
I also like the upgraded processor plus the upgraded sound you don’t even really need to add a sound bar but you can. I also like that it is compatible with my MacBook Air that I recently got I’m just waiting for Amazon prime because it is currently 1300 hopefully it’ll be closer to 1100 Sony $85,000 so you might as well just pay 2 to $300 more and get the better TV.
This is the bestoption without going to models like the A 80 and A95 OLE:me
I'm about to pull the trigger on this tv, is this the best tv to pair it with the ps5?
I will never say the best at anything because it too opinionated but it works well
Not sure i agree with the gaming comment. Hdmi 2.1 supports 4k120 as does the ps5 with both VRR and ALLM. Are we saying that despite it having a 2.1 the TV itself is throttled to 4k60? Doesn't make sense as i have a 75 2021 model of an xh90/95 with lower specs which can support this
Hey mate, i am very confused between sony 80/85k, sony x90k, sam q80b, sam the frame 2022 and the sam bu8000.
If you can suggest me one out them, anyone you think will be the best in that price range, than that would be really helpful.
I am not a gamer, all i want is a good tv to watch OTT and local tv channels in India.
Thanks in advance
Have you purchased any.. am also in the same situation now.. could you tell me which one you purchased
I'm debating between this tv and the TCL series 6 R635, wich one is considered better.
The R635 doesn’t support HDMI 2.1
Sir, 85” x85k vs 75” x90k, same price. Which you suggest me to choose? Mainly for movie watching, sometimes play pc game and use it as monitor.
For a full just movie experience the x85k should fulfill all your needs, better grays better blacks and a tiny bit better hdr but it doesn't have local dimming. So the x85k for a dark room would be just fine
我也是好纠结85x85k跟75x90k也是只看电影电视剧，他们价格又是相同的。
I've spent the weekend looking at TVs, I thkn this is hte one I will buy. Looking at the A80 and X93, I preferred the brightness of the X93. I suppose there si some blooming and chnage wiht viewing angle that the OLED doesn't have, but I found these effects to be trivial, whereas the way the X93 captured the light of outdoor scenes seemed a very significant upgrade to me. Even in some of the darker scenes, I noticed a loss of detail in the shadow areas in the A80. While the salesman tried ot tell me that the extra detail in the scenes of the A80 was a false artifact that the director didn't want us to see, I could see some of that same detail in the brighter OLED (I think it was anA95K). I struggled hard to see any difference between the X93 and the X90. I know I was supposed to see more blooming and less brightness, but in real world, it was hard to see. I would occasionally see slightly more vivid color in the X93, and at one point, the salesman paused hte image on a specific scene where the skin tones were much more natural on the X93, but when I repeated the pause on other scenes, I could not find a similar effect, and neither could the salesman. I wonder how much of what I saw was due to the way the TVs were set up. In one shop, there was an A80 and A95 adjacent to each other, and there was very littel difference, whereas in another shop, the 2 looked quite different. I preferred the Sony to the LG, as hte LG motion seemed a bit stuttery compared to the Sony, although much better than many TVs I've seen in this regard.
Great review!!! I was wondering when will we see review and settings for Hisense U8h?
Great review Steve. I currently have a 55 inch X90J. Am moving into a new place and am looking for a 65 inch tv. From what I understand this replaced the X90J. Some reviews I read say the J is better and some say the K. I was curious to as your thoughts between the 2.
