Get the Sony X90L: https://www.rtings.com/afflink/AbEAAJhgIjA= The Sony X90L is a mid-range 4k TV released in 2023. It replaces the Sony X90K/X90CK and sits above the entry-level Sony X85L and budget models like the Sony X77L/X77CL. Unlike the higher-end Sony X93L, it doesn't feature a Mini LED backlight but instead has a full array local dimming backlight. It offers a great selection of features typically found on higher-end Sony TVs, including hands-free voice control, the S-Center speaker input, and an ATSC 3.0 tuner for up to 4k broadcast support. It's powered by Sony's Cognitive Processor XR, designed to improve overall image processing and upscaling. It has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and variable refresh rate (VRR) support for gamers, so you can take full advantage of the latest consoles. It's available in a wide range of sizes, from 55-inch to a massive 98-inch model, so there's something for everyone. TV Review: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x90l-x90cl TV Settings: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x90l-x90cl/settings Model Tested: 65" (XR-65X90L or XR-65X90CL) results are also valid for the 55-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch, and 98-inch models. The larger sizes are expected to have more dimming zones and slightly better local dimming, but unfortunately, no information is currently available on the number of zones on the larger sizes.
