The Sony X90L demonstrates that you don’t need OLED to get a stunning picture. The full-array LED backlight with local dimming produces deep blacks with minimal blooming, and the Cognitive Processor XR upscales 1080p and cable content better than any TV at this price point. Motion handling is class-leading, making it ideal for sports.

Google TV provides a fast, intuitive smart platform with all major streaming apps and Google Assistant. Two HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K at 120 Hz for PS5 and Xbox gamers, with VRR and ALLM. The XR Triluminos Pro delivers natural, accurate colours that favour realism over the oversaturation common in Samsung sets.

At $998 for the 65-inch, the X90L offers exceptional value. Viewing angles are the main compromise – colours wash out when viewing from the side. If your seating is mostly straight-on, the X90L is the best non-OLED TV on the market.
