When it real-world performance, the Sony BRAVIA X90L proved to be a stellar TV in RTINGS’ review. The publication gave the TV a “Mixed Usage” rating of 8.1 thanks to its elevated max brightness and excellent contrast ratio which result in deep blacks and superb HDR performance.

For instance, the Sony X90L displayed a contrast ratio of 42,222:1 and good black uniformity. With a DCI-P3 xy and uv coverage of 91.89% and 96.6%, respectively, and excellent out-of-the-box calibration, the TV also showed great color performance.

Furthermore, RTINGS measured a Real Scene Peak Brightness of 775 nits in SDR and a Peak 2% Window brightness of over 1,100 nits in HDR mode for both movies and gaming. In other words, the Sony X90L is plenty bright for use in well lit areas.

Finally, the Sony X90L is also a pretty good TV for gaming with a 120 Hz native refresh rate, low input lag, quick response times, and VRR support. Console users will also be well-served as the TV supports 4K/1080p 120 Hz input, HDR, VRR, and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for both Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 consoles. That said, Sony has packed a few extra features in the X90L for the PlayStation 5, namely Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto HDR Genre Mode.
