X90J has better bass than the average TV but we are still left underwhelmed. The speakers lack detail in general and clarity in vocals, and things often sound trapped. Sony's microphone-based approach works fine but the TV is still limited by its hardware. Like A90J, X90J's Ethernet port maxes out at a theoretical 100 Mb/s so to enjoy Bravia Core streaming in its full glory you will need to use WiFi due to the overhead required by Bravia Core (115 Mb/s internet required). Bravia Core offers over 300 movies in "near lossless UHD BD equivalent quality with streaming up to 80 Mbps". This includes Sony's new Bravia Core streaming service that we examined in our Sony A90J review. Some apps come pre-installed on the TV, presumably as part of commercial agreements between Sony and the app provider – and it is not necessarily the latest version of the app so you will be met by update prompts immediately after setup.
You cannot use the internet features of the TV unless you accept Google's policies but you can opt out of Sony's policies that cover the often critized Samba, which Sony still embeds in its TVs. If you decide to set it up as Google TV instead, you will be asked to accept Sony's privacy in addition to Google's privacy. if you want to use an external box for streaming etc. User experience & featuresSince Sony X90J is powered by the same MediaTek SoC (MT5895) and uses the same version of Android (with Google TV on top) as Sony A90J, we refer to our recent Sony A90J review for an examination and discussion on the user experience, features, and recent developments.Īs reported earlier, a Google TV device can be set up as a 'Basic TV', i.e. There are four mounting holes that comply with standard VESA wall brackets X90J has two HDMI 2.1 ports capable of 4K120 (one of which is eARC/ARC) and two standard HDMI 2.0 ports. Input/output ports are found on the back and all ports point either to the side or up (CI slot). Sony's TV is also available with a center stand (X92J) and edge stand (X93J, X94J). It is easy to change the position of the legs if you want to move the TV to another room later on. The legs take up some space behind the TV so be sure to check if your furniture is deep enough to accommodate the TV. The two-legged stand can be set to either wide or narrow position as there are two mounting holes on each side. However, it is not a striking TV design – there is a lot of glossy and matte black plastic. The Japanese company's conservative design language makes sure that X90J will blend into most typical living rooms. First impressionsX90J looks like most Sony LCD TVs with its black frame, two-legged stand, and modular back design.
