SONY, with a wide variety of gadgets in the electronic section, never fails to disappoint in terms of quality and functionality. That is why this brand becomes one of the top choices of buyers while going for electronics. With new products coming every now and then the variety is increasing day by day.

SONY recently came up with its brand new smart TV SONY Bravia XR X90J. This smart TV has all the premium features that come in three different screen sizes, and the range starts from Rs. 1,59,900. So, let’s dive into the detailed specifications of this television.

Specifications

Design 

Sony’s industrial design is consistently excellent, and the X90J is no exception. From the front, the X90J’s design is as attractive as any other television in Sony’s 2021 series, with thin black bezels and a subtle Sony logo under the screen.

The Sony Bravia XR-55X90J is an Ultra-HD (3840×2160-pixel) LED TV that uses Sony’s Triluminos technology, which is comparable to the quantum dot technology used in QLED TVs. The HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision formats are all supported, as well as Dolby Audio and Dolby Atmos for sound. 

The back of the TV features a plastic covering, and the models are narrow at the top and bend outwards as they descend, with a thickness of about 71mm at the thickest point. 

The smart TV has four HDMI ports, two of which are HDMI 2.1 and one of which is eARC compliant. There is also one ethernet port and two USB ports. All of these ports are found on the TV’s side.

The triangular feet of the TV are the attraction for sure. When set on a desk, the feet give the feeling of being elegant and modest, and also a popped-up effect. Not only this, but they also give a lot of stability, which prevents wobbling.

Picture and Video Quality

The Sony Bravia XR-55X90J is equipped with the XR Cognitive Processor, which is advertised as the world’s first TV with cognitive intelligence. This enables the TV to detect the focal point – that is, the most significant feature or zone in a given frame – and boost the image quality precisely where the viewer’s concentration is predicted to be. According to Sony, the picture quality is thus more natural-appearing and unforgettable.

HDMI 2.1, full-array local dimming, a peak refresh rate of 120Hz at auto low-latency mode, Ultra-HD resolution, and customizable refresh rate are among the other display features of the TV.

HDR10 and Dolby Vision are also supported on the X90J. Dolby Vision employs dynamic metadata to make adjustments in the brightness of the display frame by frame. HDR10, on the other hand, employs static metadata, which means that the material is only adjusted once. 

Dolby Vision also guarantees that the appropriate areas are illuminated at the appropriate moments. The contrast between the whites and blacks is heightened as a result.

Gaming

The Bravia XR X90J is also excellent for gaming. It supports 120Hz and 4K gameplay. It also features a specialized gaming mode that lowers input lag. Also, if you own a PS5, you can switch on the TV using the DualShock 5 controller, which will take you right to the PS5 interface.

VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) compatibility will also be included in a future update, according to claims made by Sony. This will assist in reducing lag and frame tearing, resulting in a more smooth and detailed gameplay experience.

Sound

The XR processor processes sound using the cognitive that imitates in the same way as the human ear might do so. The XR recognizes where the sound is originating from on-screen and positions itself there.

The audio of the X90J is positioned vertically as well as horizontally, creating a more three-dimensional experience. The XR processor transforms audio to 5.1.2ch surround sound to generate this surround sound impression.

Bravia XR X90J includes two 5W crossover-tweeters and left and right stereo 5W down-firing speakers. It can reach 80 dB, although there is a noticeable distortion that is under control if backed off a few decibels. Dialog, Music, Standard, Cinema, Sports and Dolby Audio modes are available. 

The audio software in the TV can decode Dolby Atmos (5.1.4), Dolby Audio (5.1), and DTS and downmix the music to the stereo speakers. Also, HDMI 2.1 eARC connection is used to send all audio formats to a soundbar.

UI and UX

The XR X90J is one of the first TVs to operate on the Google TV user interface, which is the successor to the stock Android TV UI and was originally presented on the Google Chromecast With Google TV. There’s built-in compatibility for Google Assistant and Alexa speech assistants, as well as Apple AirPlay 2 and Apple HomeKit for screen mirroring and IoT connectivity, respectively.

Input-Output

The SONY Bravia XR X90J backs up a variety of input-output options, like:

• RF antenna for DVB-T2 tuner
• Video and Audio in 3.5mm
• Headphone in 3.5mm
• 100Mbps LAN
• Digital optical out (2.0 PCM, DTS, DOLBY Audio passing through soundbar)
• USB-A 2.0 5V/.5A/2.5W
• USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 5V/.9A/4.5W

In addition to the above input-output options, the smart TV has compatibility with WiFi AC and Bluetooth 4.2 for smart functioning.

Remote Controller

The X90J’s remote controller has fast-access buttons for Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, and YouTube Music, as well as a navigational circular direction button in the center.

Final Verdict

The days of reviewing TVs only on the basis of their screens are long gone. Many new high-end televisions now have excellent screens. When shopping for a new television, one of the most significant considerations is the processor. And undoubtedly, the X90J  boasts one of the finest CPUs available.

The XR Picture and Sound Processor from Sony are fantastic. It transforms content into a work of art, and it does it smoothly. It excels at upscaling low-resolution video, emphasizes the focal point, and has all of the features you’d expect in a modern TV at a fair price.

Overall, the Sony Bravia XR X90J is a fantastic mid-range television for the money, with excellent picture clarity, good black levels, fluid motion, and good usability.
