Exterior design of the Sony Bravia XR-55X90J

Sony XR-55X90J design

We are given an aesthetic with good details that looks great in any position

As expected, the Sony XR55X90JAEP presents us with a premium design that will fit perfectly in any environment, and in part it is because its size is 55 inches, which is recommended for rooms or medium-sized rooms . Another detail that combines with its appearance is its black color that generates a much greater presence.

If you want to exploit all its beauty, it is best to place it directly on the wall, so we will enjoy a better integration with the decoration you have. Likewise, we highlight having slim bezels that will offer us a good elegance . Nor can we forget that this gives us a wider and thinner screen.

Which is perfect when it comes to viewing content, since the useful space will be better and there will be no type of cut or obstruction. The rear part gives us a fairly detailed view , since we have a clean construction. Another detail that we cannot miss is that its construction is based on excellent materials that are resistant.

Connectivity

It is time to talk about the connectivity that this model offers us, which seems enough for a good experience. And we say this because we find four HDMI inputs that we can use to connect external devices, in addition, two come in version 2.1, which ensures better data transmission. Likewise, we must have two USB 2.0 that handle a double function, we refer to playback and recording.

This television is going to include other physical connections that can become quite important depending on the use that we are going to give it. In this case we find an Ethernet port, an audio output, an AV composite, a satellite input and an antenna. Compatible tuners can be found in the specification table. At the wireless level we will be well covered with great options such as Wi-Fi , Bluetooth 4.2 and DLNA .

Image quality and general functions of the Sony XR-55X90J

The most outstanding thing about the Sony XR-55X90J is that it has a highly optimized image quality that will be ideal for enjoying almost any content. First, we have a 4K resolution that by offering four times more power than Full HD we will see more precise details, therefore, the content will be seen more realistically .

The only negative detail that we can mention is its Direct LED panel that is certainly improved for this model, however, it can continue to present certain quality losses in very bright or dark environments . Therefore, the location becomes more relevant in this case. Nonetheless, the enhancement technologies are quite good.

Here we highlight having Live Color that seeks to give us much more vivid and intense colors with the idea that they are displayed in a more natural and real state. Likewise, Pixel Contrast Booster focuses on improving the contrast in this way you can see sharper and deeper, so the lighting does not become such a serious problem.

However, what is really impressive are the XR technologies that focus all your work on different parameters so that image quality can be displayed at its peak. On the other hand, we will find compatibility with formats such as Dolby Vision , HDR10 and HLG that are perfect functions when watching movies.

Sound

Its audio quality does not seem bad to us, on the contrary, it is acceptable at certain times, however, for more demanding content if we notice the difference. The problem is that despite being a high-end model it maintains the sound of the mid-range, since we will only have two speakers with a power of 20W .

The difficulty is really in its speakers, and we say this because quite powerful technologies have been added that offer us a very interesting improvement that ends up being quite helpful for a more efficient final result. In this case we are going to find functions such as 3D Surround Upscaling , DTS , Dolby Atmos and Voice Zoom 2 .

Sony XR55X90JAEP Software / Smart TV Review and More

Sony XR-55X90J Smart TV

We have Android TV, which ensures us excellent functions for our entertainment

Let’s finish the review of the Sony Bravia XR-55X90J talking about the excellent operating system that it offers us, and it is that having the latest Android TV update gives us very good benefits. To begin with, we will have a much better optimization , in addition, we are facing a fairly intuitive platform that any user can use.

And what about its incredible catalog of applications that allows us to make use of more than 5,000 options, as if that were not enough, we will also have a large amount of content to download such as music, movies and games. This model offers us compatibility with Google Assistant and Alexa that allow us to control functions using our voice.

Other applications that are also very important for the Sony XR55X90JAEP are Apple AirPlay and Apple Homekit that give us the opportunity to transmit all kinds of content from an iPhone, iPad or Mac without so much complication. Likewise, there is also Chromecast Built-in for the same work, but with other devices.
