Cons (102)

Picture Quality (29)

terrible contrast that means it just doesn't provide a very impactful HDR experience ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 2:52
doesn't have the best black uniformity either so you may notice some clouding in bluish areas when watching Dark scenes in a dark room ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 2:29
black levels are raised and black look dull and gray ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 2:25
lose some brightness and colors look more washed out from extreme angles ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 3:50
no local dimming here so the contrast is not good ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 2:20
direct Reflections like a lamp positioned somewhere in front of the screen can still be quite distracting ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 3:39
most colors are off the mark and appear undersaturated ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 4:32
okay HDR brightness highlights and HDR content stand out a bit especially in Darker scenes but overall it just doesn't get bright enough to really make bright highlights pop ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 2:39
gamma is also pretty close to the Target but scenes tend to be displayed a bit darker than intended ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 4:11
no local dimming and a pretty basic feature set ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 0:30
doesn't cover nearly as much of the wider Rec 2020 space and once again all colors here are undersaturated and riddled with inaccuracies ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 4:37
terrible contrast it can't produce dark saturated colors well while its brightness limits how vibrantly it can display bright saturated colors overall it just struggles to create a truly impactful HDR EXP experience ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 4:45
you can see some type of glare ▶ Sony Bravia 3 Direct LED TV Review | Is It Better Or The Sam @ 10:25
Ibis panels suffer from poor blacks and here too it wasn't as deep and it felt more like dark gray ▶ Sony Bravia X82L 55 inch 4K Google TV (2023) - When Quality @ 5:36
uses direct LED backlight but it's an IPS panel, IPS panel contrast is lower than VA panel ▶ Sony X80L TV Review | New Sony Bravia TV 2023 | Sony Bravia @ 1:14
naturally wants to crush blacks while boosting Luminosity ▶ The Best SONY TV Ever Made!! Sony Bravia 9 Review @ 3:14
Cinema profile: Reds were slightly oversaturated ... tinted grayscale a bit too yellow, Blues were also a little bit juiced ▶ The Best SONY TV Ever Made!! Sony Bravia 9 Review @ 2:07
this figure is still comparatively low and won't Rock the world of any video enthusiasts interested in LED LCD technology ▶ I'm Recommending This Sony Full-Array LED TV with Only 80 Zo @ 1:47
interestingly the smoke gradation control appeared to be fairly heavy-handed smudging some fine detail even on the least aggressive setting of low so we prefer disabling it for watching pristine content such as 4K Blu-ray ▶ I'm Recommending This Sony Full-Array LED TV with Only 80 Zo @ 7:22
the Bravia x90l would manifest more blooming or halation artifacts than full and radical dimming LED LCDs from rival manufacturers such as Samsung with light from immediately adjacent bright objects seeping into the letterbox bars which were already grayer in the first place ▶ I'm Recommending This Sony Full-Array LED TV with Only 80 Zo @ 2:01
VA type LCD panel without viewing angle composition film ▶ I'm Recommending This Sony Full-Array LED TV with Only 80 Zo @ 1:25
with some vignetting along the borders of the screen owing to the narrower viewing angles of va type LCD panel ▶ I'm Recommending This Sony Full-Array LED TV with Only 80 Zo @ 6:58
beat staffed standard Dev broadcast would look as noisy and grubby as on lesser TVs ▶ I'm Recommending This Sony Full-Array LED TV with Only 80 Zo @ 6:45
Hardware wise the Sony x90l features a VA type LCD panel with limited viewing angles a mediatek HDMI 2.1 chipset with only two HDMI 2.1 ports not to mention only 80 local dimming zones and given Sony's philosophy to preserve picture accuracy including Shadow detail the Bravia x90l would naturally manifest more blooming and shallower blacks than LED LCD TVs from other manufacturers ▶ I'm Recommending This Sony Full-Array LED TV with Only 80 Zo @ 14:49
the local dimming would be deactivated under the hood whenever the UI was on screen leading to grayish blacks and visible backlight uniformity on the Google TV home screen and during the loading sequences of streaming apps ▶ I'm Recommending This Sony Full-Array LED TV with Only 80 Zo @ 4:10
there would be noticeable calisthenic Jada in slow panning shots however when watching 50hz broadcast material with mixed edits film mode high would lead to occasional micro starter and tearing artifacts which thankfully could be resolved by switching film mode to low ▶ I'm Recommending This Sony Full-Array LED TV with Only 80 Zo @ 6:00
screen reflectivity could be better ▶ The Best SONY TV Ever Made!! Sony Bravia 9 Review @ 10:01
similar to all Sony TV's review so far the Bravia x90l doesn't adapt its hdr10 tone curve to st2086 metadata relying instead on its own Dynamic tool mapping algorithm to map all types of hdr10 content to the screen's capability just make sure that the HDR tone mapping control is left at the default setting of gradation preferred since selecting the off value would deactivate dynamical mapping and clip more bright highlights in 4008 hdr10 movies ▶ I'm Recommending This Sony Full-Array LED TV with Only 80 Zo @ 3:20
while Sony's motion processing remain as polished as ever the Japanese brand still doesn't separate its motion flow settings into low frame rate and high frame rate interpolation so if you use the smoothness control to reduce motion blur when watching sports you will also be introducing so Opera effect or soe and interpolation artifacts to 24p content ▶ I'm Recommending This Sony Full-Array LED TV with Only 80 Zo @ 5:17

doesn't perform quite as well in some backlight torture tests as the Hisense U8K or TCL QM8 ▶ Sony X90L Review | Puts TCL and Hisense on Notice @ 7:23
HDR gaming in general even without vrr doesn't have the contrast that I want because the game mode chops down the local dimming system enough that you lose a significant amount of picture pop ▶ Sony X90L Review | Puts TCL and Hisense on Notice @ 10:29
these aren't recent movies ▶ Sony A80L Review: Is this the best OLED TV of 2023? @ 4:54
this is IMAX enhanced but it's not actually IMAX enhancing it so those bars should be basically gone it's not happening ▶ Sony A80L Review: Is this the best OLED TV of 2023? @ 8:57
little bit of blooming ▶ Sony X90L Review | Puts TCL and Hisense on Notice @ 3:52
it's also got IMAX enhanced which basically means you're supposed to get the full width um so instead of getting a big fat black bars across the bottom when it's IMAX enhanced you get the original shoot in IMAX it's a bit bigger you're making as new to that exact screen real estate the problem is if I watch three IMAX enhanced films in the last 24 hours and two of them didn't do that only one did the other two just did the black bars anyway so I'm not sure I've checked every possible setting it's definitely set to IMAX enhanced ▶ Sony A80L Review: Is this the best OLED TV of 2023? @ 5:50
you need at least eight megabits a second internet speed to be able to get that so depending where you are in Australia and what the mbn quality is like you may not actually be able to hit that Target ▶ Sony A80L Review: Is this the best OLED TV of 2023? @ 7:45
it's only got the two 2.1 HDMI ports it's a real bugger because uh one of those reports is the earc port right so the problem you have is that as soon as you need to plug in a sound bar which uses one of the EAS ports or ex ports and also plug in a console unless your Soundbar has passed through then you're immediately limited to just the one 2.1 HDMI port because basically you can't plug in an Xbox and a PlayStation and put it out to a sound bar at the same time so it's a bit of a bit of a frustration of mine ▶ Sony A80L Review: Is this the best OLED TV of 2023? @ 10:32
black areas around the white captions text sees a bit of Halo and Bloom ▶ Sony X90L Review | Puts TCL and Hisense on Notice @ 7:42

pretty brutal test I got to tell you because it's the black there I got that window wide open so probably not a typical viewing situation many and you know what it looks pretty pretty um reflective like that ▶ Sony A80L Review: Is this the best OLED TV of 2023? @ 9:50
tough sell as a value proposition it's just not worth the price for what you get or rather what you don't get especially compared to similarly priced models and even cheaper models from budget Brands like high sense of TCL ▶ Sony BRAVIA 3 Review – Sony's Budget Model Isn't Worth It @ 7:23
that library is never going to really grow that fast because it's linked to Sony Pictures and what Sony Pictures can output so it's just that's where that's where you're stuck at so you're not going to suddenly get this whole bunch of range of content here at least not in the short term anyway ▶ Sony A80L Review: Is this the best OLED TV of 2023? @ 8:03
not 100 sold on the value of Bravia core yet just because the uh the catalog is just not as compelling as it needs to be to be a really winning feature ▶ Sony A80L Review: Is this the best OLED TV of 2023? @ 13:19
when you engage vrr most of the processing gets scaled way back and that includes the local dimming system so contrast takes a fairly significant hit ▶ Sony X90L Review | Puts TCL and Hisense on Notice @ 10:15
just a couple of Curiosities like I don't know why the IMAX enhanced stuff isn't working for all of them ▶ Sony A80L Review: Is this the best OLED TV of 2023? @ 14:11
