Sony X90K | Pros • Excellent picture quality, especially with direct connections • Bright and clear display, great for movies and gaming • Good sound quality without needing additional speakers • Multiple adjustment options for personalized settings • Great blacks and good response rate for gaming Cons • Spotty Wi-Fi connection leading to frequent disconnections • Google Assistant/Alexa features are underwhelming and not user-friendly • Occasional pixelation on broadcast TV, which can be influenced by antenna placement and weather • Requires physical remote control for efficient navigation of streaming services Overall Impression The Sony 65inch X90K is a solid choice for those seeking a high-quality TV without investing in an OLED.

However, with a direct ethernet connection, it delivers a near flawless viewing experience, making it a worthwhile purchase for movie and gaming enthusiasts. |
