Exterior design of the Sony Bravia XR-65X90J

We have a subtle design that shows a great presence due to its large size
We have a subtle design that shows a great presence due to its large size

As expected, the Sony XR65X90JAEP presents us with a premium design that will fit perfectly in any environment, and in part it is because its size is 65 inches, which is recommended for rooms  or  large rooms . Another detail that combines with its appearance is its black color that generates a much better 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. In addition, we highlight having slim bezels that will offer us greater elegance . Nor can we forget that this gives us a wider and thinner screen.

Which is perfect when it comes to playing content, since the useful space will be better and there will not be any type of cut or interference. 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-65X90J

The most remarkable thing about the Sony XR-65X90J is that it has a highly optimized image quality that will be ideal for enjoying almost any content. To begin with, we have a 4K resolution that by offering four times more power than Full HD we will see deeper details, therefore, the content will be seen more real .

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 important in this case. However, the enhancement technologies are pretty decent.

Here we highlight having  Live Color that tries to give us much more vivid and intense colors with the idea that they are displayed in a more natural and real state. In addition, Pixel Contrast Booster is dedicated to improving the contrast so you can see sharper and more accurate, so lighting does not become such a major problem.

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

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 XR65X90JAEP Software Review / Smart TV and More

Great functions are received thanks to the inclusion of the latest version of the Android system
Great functions are received thanks to the inclusion of the latest version of the Android system

We finish the review of the Sony Bravia XR-65X90J talking about the excellent operating system that integrates us, and it is that having the latest Android TV update gives us very good dividends. In the first place, we will have a more efficient optimization , likewise, 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, likewise, 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 certain functions using only our voice.

Other applications that are also very important for the  Sony XR65X90JAEP  are  Apple AirPlay  and  Apple Homekit that give us the opportunity to stream all kinds of content from an iPhone, iPad or Mac without much complication. As if that were not enough, there is also Chromecast Built-in  for the same work, but with other devices.
