Content
0.599 -> hey everyone Tech Steve here and today
2.639 -> we're going to talk about the Sony x90k
4.98 -> now why should you consider this TV at
7.259 -> all well first of all if you've been
8.639 -> looking at the standard Sony series
10.2 -> those are 8-bit panels where this is a
12.54 -> 10-bit panel it also has a upgraded
14.82 -> audio system has 120 hertz with the XR
18.18 -> processor which really performs very
20.279 -> well now I would say that this TV is not
22.859 -> perfect but on this video we'll talk
25.14 -> about all the pros and cons to make sure
27.42 -> that it is the best TV for you now as a
30.72 -> full disclosure Sony did loan me this TV
32.82 -> so I can try it out and I will be coming
35.16 -> out with some comparison videos against
36.54 -> some other models in the next few weeks
39.059 -> so if you've been looking for this
40.5 -> television sit back and relax and let's
43.14 -> get started
44.05 -> [Music]
49.16 -> so here we have it this is the Sony x90k
52.379 -> and I will tell you that it is powered
54.3 -> by the Google operating system which
56.28 -> works with Android of course now you do
58.32 -> have all your same features as any other
60.18 -> Google branded television like the
62.399 -> search feature you can also go into the
64.44 -> settings over here in the corner and you
66.299 -> can customize it to meet your
68.22 -> requirements like your screen saver your
70.2 -> settings you also can customize your
72.299 -> inputs and the picture settings now take
74.7 -> a look at the back of the television it
76.799 -> has a unique textual pattern plus it
79.2 -> does have screw holes so you can mount
80.759 -> it on the wall very easily now even
82.56 -> though they did remove the headphone
84.06 -> jack it is still loaded with features
86.1 -> such as two USB inputs your fiber optic
88.68 -> output four HDMI is your ethernet input
91.68 -> plus some service ports and the great
93.6 -> thing about this TV it also has the new
95.579 -> improved atsc 3.0 tuner does allow you
98.579 -> to get 4k content when it's available in
101.1 -> your area free of course with antenna
103.619 -> now when it comes to the inputs Sony
105.6 -> televisions or Google TVs in general you
108.119 -> have to go in and change the signal
109.799 -> format so for example if you have a 4K
112.439 -> device connected to it such as a Blu-ray
114.78 -> player gaming console or something like
116.64 -> that you have to toggle it over to your
118.86 -> enhanced now specifically if you have a
121.38 -> PlayStation you want to go into your
123.24 -> HDMI three or four so you can support
125.46 -> the vrr in it as far as gaming now you
128.039 -> might not find this to be a big deal but
130.08 -> I love the fact that you have this extra
132.239 -> space on the side here and the inputs
134.099 -> are farther in because using thick
136.319 -> cables like this I found some of the TVs
138.72 -> I review I had to fold them back really
140.52 -> hard to be able to get them not to show
142.44 -> on a camera so just imagine having this
144.72 -> with thicker wires on it it won't be
146.76 -> able to be viewed from the front unlike
148.8 -> the x80k and the x85k the Sony logo is
152.4 -> right here in the corner and it's
153.66 -> because you have these sensors in the
155.22 -> center of the television looking at this
157.26 -> TV from the side view it uses a direct
159.36 -> backlight so that's a series of lights
161.099 -> that goes all across the panel but let's
163.379 -> compare the technology first of all this
165.36 -> is a VA panel and if you was to get a 65
168 -> inch and the X 80k that's an IPS panel
171.239 -> and the x85k is a VA panel as well but
174.42 -> what makes the x90k different than the
176.519 -> other two models is that this has full
178.62 -> array local dimming so this little Dot
180.42 -> goes over here and helps you count how
182.4 -> many zones and This TV has 54 which is
185.34 -> not amazing but it's better than not
187.56 -> having it at all and that's going to
189.12 -> allow you to control the contrast ratio
191.04 -> in different parts of the screen to make
193.08 -> sure you get the best black levels so in
195.06 -> just in case you wonder I did test this
196.8 -> TV with some glare by shooting some
199.019 -> light directly in the television and you
201.42 -> can see reflection I also took a white
204 -> shirt and walked around the screen and
205.98 -> again you can see that reflection now
207.78 -> it's not that noticeable if you have the
210.239 -> TV running a signal but with this TV off
212.819 -> it is very noticeable and this is the
215.28 -> case for a lot of TVs let's go ahead and
217.14 -> talk about the picture quality so I did
219.06 -> some tests on it and I'm going to show
220.379 -> you some of my results now I'll tell you
222.18 -> for this first test the TV is going to
224.04 -> be in cinema mode plus I will tell you
226.319 -> that it's an SDR mode not HDR so let's
229.019 -> get into it now looking at this contrast
230.76 -> test you can see that the black levels
232.739 -> are very Inky as we get a little bit
234.599 -> into the higher grade scale we do lose a
236.7 -> little details and that's because that
238.92 -> it is in SDR mode now when it comes to
241.44 -> the motion you can see right now with
243.12 -> everything turned off these lines are
245.04 -> very jaggedy and you can see the
246.54 -> different resolutions on the side if you
248.34 -> go to automatic it does do a much better
250.439 -> job and that's probably where most
252.18 -> people should leave it however if you go
254.34 -> over to custom you can dance move it out
256.56 -> at its maximum potential you sacrifice
259.139 -> the brightness of the screen to smooth
260.76 -> out the resolution and most TVs do it
262.979 -> like this in reality you have to load up
264.9 -> a movie play a couple minutes of it and
267 -> adjust it the way that you like it
268.5 -> before you start the movie if you have
270.6 -> any type of glitches or anything like
272.4 -> that on the content that you're actually
274.199 -> watching and here's an example of the
275.82 -> viewing angles as you get over to the
277.62 -> side you can see that you do get some
279.36 -> color saturation which is normal I want
281.58 -> to appreciate you guys for leaving
283.38 -> comments on my unboxing videos so I can
285.3 -> get to know this tv a little bit better
286.62 -> and most people who own this TV
289.08 -> completely love it according to the
291.06 -> comments other people wonder about
292.919 -> blooming so let's test it here's an
295.32 -> example of some blooming and you can see
297.24 -> there is some noticeable glow around the
299.04 -> logos now because l LED technology has
301.979 -> backlights I don't think there's a way
303.479 -> to get around certain Technologies just
305.4 -> because there's no way you can eliminate
307.979 -> this having backlights but the reality
310.32 -> is just about every TV on the market has
312.54 -> some form of blooming especially with
314.1 -> the brightness of this TV and if you try
316.68 -> to avoid it you have to get an OLED
318 -> something like the a95k which doubles in
321.36 -> price but rest assured This TV has
323.699 -> amazing picture quality thanks to that
326.52 -> XR processor and the trilolumius here's
329.699 -> some demonstrations of what it looks
331.259 -> like in SDR mode and as you can see
333.3 -> everything pops looks Vivid and very
335.699 -> colorful so I was very happy with the
337.86 -> SDR content but really what set it off
340.259 -> is looking at this comparison where I
342.6 -> can show you guys HDR next to SDR you
345.96 -> can see that the black levels are so
347.82 -> much better also the brightness is there
350.4 -> the colors pop and it's more Vivid and
352.74 -> detailed and I'll tell you guys that I
354.78 -> use the Sony camera to record these
356.52 -> videos and after seeing this television
358.62 -> this is really the level that you want
360.18 -> to be Rio and especially for someone who
362.16 -> watches a lot of HDR Amazon videos
364.86 -> Netflix video or someone who's using an
367.919 -> Xbox series X or PS5 to do HDR gaming so
371.52 -> now let's talk about gaming and I'll
372.84 -> tell you exactly what to expect having a
374.699 -> TV like this first of all I plugged in
377.1 -> the Xbox series X and I plugged into PS5
379.8 -> to see what kind of capabilities it has
381.6 -> as far as connectivity well if you have
384.06 -> an Xbox you can put in Adobe Vision or
386.16 -> vrr either one you cannot have both at
388.8 -> the same time if you have a PS5 you can
391.44 -> put in vrr mode because ps5s do not
394.319 -> support Dolby Visions even though this
396.6 -> TV does support Adobe Vision now as far
399.18 -> as the resolution it will support 4K at
402.66 -> 60 frames per second on inputs one and
404.759 -> two if you go to inputs three and four
407.22 -> it will support 4K at 120 hertz the only
410.88 -> other caveat is that if you drop down to
413.039 -> 1440p you're going to max out at 60
415.319 -> frames per second and if you drop down
417.24 -> to 1080p you're going to get up to 120
420.06 -> frames a second that's a lot to take in
422.34 -> but next I did an input lag test just to
424.86 -> see how it responds with the TV on one
428.1 -> of the 2.1 inputs and with the TV and
431.1 -> gaming mode so let's check it out and
432.66 -> we're getting about
433.88 -> 17.4 milliseconds of input lags
438.47 -> [Music]
451.8 -> now we're going to take a listen to the
453.06 -> audio system and I would say for TV
454.74 -> speakers not so bad but I will tell you
457.259 -> that I'm type of person I have a sound
458.699 -> bar on all of my TVs and I do prefer
461.039 -> external audio system over TV speakers
462.9 -> but I think it's paired to at least let
465.06 -> you take a listen to what it could sound
467.16 -> like if you decided not to do that
468.83 -> [Music]
472.319 -> I can't afford to miss this time today
477.5 -> [Music]
486.15 -> [Music]
491.58 -> so as you can see it doesn't sound too
493.02 -> bad to give you guys a rough idea with
494.639 -> the recording but there's one other
496.5 -> speaker right here on top that I didn't
498.66 -> really realize what it was until I
500.34 -> started listening to audio so take a
502.74 -> listen
506.819 -> foreign
511.7 -> I do know a lot of people want to use a
513.959 -> TV like this in a conference room for
515.76 -> everyday use or if you're a gamer so I
518.64 -> want to give you guys some footage so
520.02 -> you can get ideal what it looks like
521.58 -> connected to a laptop all right so I'm
523.8 -> going to test this using the HDMI 2.1
525.839 -> cable even though this laptop only
527.519 -> supports 60 frames per second but when
530.82 -> you plug in the laptop you're going to
532.44 -> get a pop-up on the screen so once you
534.3 -> get that set up you just go and press on
536.519 -> it and then you'll go down here and
538.32 -> select PC and what it's going to do is
540.6 -> it's going to optimize the computer to
542.64 -> work with a TV set now this TV does
544.86 -> support HDMI 2.1 but you'll need a video
547.56 -> card that's compatible so the most I can
549.3 -> get out of this particular computer is
550.74 -> 60 frames per second and you can also
552.839 -> see that it will support 4K at 60 frames
555.959 -> it's 8-bit and it does support the RGB
558.66 -> as well I would tell you this TV looks
561 -> really smooth on Graphics but because of
562.62 -> the sheer size of it you definitely want
564.54 -> to be about five feet or farther away to
567.06 -> get the best experience is all of it and
568.68 -> overall I think this TV will be good to
570.36 -> play Game Zone you can also do your
572.22 -> productivity and it's actually kind of
574.08 -> fun playing a game on the TV this big
576.36 -> and if you have like the Xbox game pass
578.519 -> with a PC you can go through here and
581.16 -> either stream or play your games
582.839 -> directly on your computer only thing is
585.12 -> I couldn't figure out a way to expand
586.98 -> this without actually distorting the
588.6 -> picture but but it'll be fine for just
590.459 -> everyday use for the average person now
592.38 -> if you buy this TV and some of the
593.82 -> functionality like the voice command is
595.38 -> not working all you need to do is just
597.42 -> follow the instructions on the screen
598.68 -> you just want to hit the volume down and
601.08 -> press the microphone button until it
605.04 -> actually Pairs and it takes about three
606.48 -> seconds
607.32 -> you'll get this screen right here and
609 -> you're good to go another feature that
610.68 -> people don't know about it is that you
612.6 -> can use the voice control with this
613.98 -> remote but if you want to go hands-free
615.66 -> all you need to do is go through this
617.88 -> menu and then there's a little switch
619.92 -> right here at the bottom of TV that you
621.66 -> can turn the microphone off and on just
623.82 -> go through the props and get everything
625.5 -> set up and then you can start using it
627.839 -> just by saying the voice command another
629.76 -> thing I want to point out is that you
631.62 -> can see indicator but if you hit the
633.18 -> switch you can see that it changes to
635.7 -> this orange light to let you know that
637.44 -> the microphone is muted or unmuted and
640.62 -> there's all kind of little sensors down
642 -> here and this is the pickup the
643.2 -> different light in the room now a lot of
645 -> people wonder if it has internet browser
646.92 -> and actually I found one on the App
648.899 -> Store that says internet browser for
650.64 -> Sony TVs and this is what it looks like
652.74 -> if you guys want to check it out it goes
654.42 -> straight to the Sony website you also
656.94 -> have a voice command you have bookmarks
659.16 -> and you have an option to put in the
661.5 -> different websites that you visit often
663.36 -> now if you wondered about speed tests
665.579 -> and you'll have no problem streaming 4K
667.26 -> a content on his television because I
669.36 -> was able to get 200 megabits per second
671.279 -> download and 172 up and I will tell you
675.06 -> that I have a 500 up and down speed
677.82 -> where I'm located now if you have an
679.92 -> Apple device you can use the airplay or
682.26 -> the home kit settings you just go here
684.3 -> and press on your device put in a number
686.94 -> code that pops up on the screen and then
689.399 -> you can start enjoying your footage
691.079 -> right from your device you can even cast
693.42 -> the unboxing video that I did on this
695.459 -> television that's located in the
697.2 -> playlist below now we'll tell you that
698.94 -> This TV has a lot to offer there's
700.98 -> plenty of features that you can go
702.3 -> through the menu you can tweak out the
704.16 -> picture settings I showed you some of
706.079 -> the audio settings plus you can go in
707.82 -> and maximize the gaming sleep timers you
711.12 -> name it with the Google operating system
712.74 -> but let's talk about some things that I
714.72 -> feel that this TV has room for
716.7 -> improvements one of the cons I figure
718.44 -> out is that this TV doesn't have any
720.24 -> gaming mode options like you would find
721.98 -> on an LG or a Samsung and I think it's
724.44 -> because of the Google operating system
726.12 -> another thing I would change change is
727.92 -> definitely try to figure out a way to
729.48 -> get rid of that enhanced mode switch so
731.7 -> just in case you've set up your gaming
733.44 -> console you're not have to go back into
735.48 -> the system and make adjustments another
737.64 -> thing that I would improve upon is that
739.74 -> I would have all the hdmis to be 2.1
742.68 -> instead of having two of them that are
745.2 -> 60 hertz just in case someone has two
747.42 -> gaming consoles and an ER sound bar and
750.6 -> the last thing that I would fix on this
752.279 -> particular model is that I wish you had
754.92 -> a lit remote control but you get the
757.44 -> remote control just like you get on an
759.36 -> x80k and the x85k with that being said
763.019 -> let's talk about the key things that
764.88 -> makes this TV really good the pros about
767.16 -> this TV is that Sony is known to have a
769.62 -> beautiful picture and they don't let you
771.3 -> down on this TV I also like the fact
773.579 -> that not only has a good audio system
775.38 -> but it has those additional speakers in
777.3 -> it to create a surround sound effect and
779.459 -> if you're an Apple user like myself not
781.74 -> only do I like the fact that it has
783.54 -> Apple AirPlay but that home kit it's
785.94 -> gonna allow me to connect it to my
787.139 -> system and control it with Siri you have
789.66 -> the IMAX picture profile and I like the
792.3 -> fact that Sony has a easy to use
794.22 -> navigation especially layered on top of
796.56 -> the Google operating system now just in
798.6 -> case you wonder all Google TVs use
800.519 -> Chromecast so if you pull up like a
802.44 -> YouTube app you can shoot that directly
804.36 -> through the television as long as you're
805.92 -> on the same Wi-Fi and I haven't tested
808.5 -> features like Wi-Fi Direct see if you
810.42 -> can take your phone and run it over to
811.92 -> it but I do know that you can set it up
814.68 -> with your phone you can add it to your
816.18 -> Google home assistance and then you can
818.22 -> control lights in your house what have
820.44 -> you directly from the remote control or
