Obviously in this case we are going to focus on a television presented for this year that we find incredible for all the features it adds. We talk more specifically about the Sony BRAVIA XR A90J model .<\/p>\n<p>Included for the current high-end range, it offers us a first-rate performance that we will know in detail in this article.\u00a0Of course, it is important that you know that the cost of the\u00a0Sony BRAVIA XR A90J\u00a0is high and requires a powerful investment.\u00a0Therefore, before thinking about acquiring this television you must know in depth the good and bad it offers.<\/p>\n<h2>Exterior design of the Sony BRAVIA XR A90J<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/S2-11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-77715 size-full lazyloaded\" title=\"We are going to find a beautiful design in every sense that due to its dimensions fits almost anywhere\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/S2-11.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-77715\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We are going to find a beautiful design in every sense that due to its dimensions fits almost anywhere<\/p>\n<p>The first big benefit we get from the\u00a0Sony BRAVIA XR A90J\u00a0is that it presents us with a modern design that looks flawless almost anywhere you decide to position it.\u00a0Of course,\u00a0due to its size it is preferable to have it in medium\u00a0or\u00a0large rooms\u00a0.\u00a0It has a black color that generates a greater presence regardless of the angle seen.<\/p>\n<p>All this is supported by a front that offers us an almost invisible edge\u00a0, since it uses a frameless design that provides us with one of the most marked elegance that we can find today.\u00a0As if that were not enough, this allows the screen to have a much larger useful space that is used by the content that we are going to see.<\/p>\n<p>When turning the TV over, we will find a slim style that eliminates any trace of thickness, likewise, we will enjoy cable management that, as its name indicates, allows a better accommodation to the mess that is usually had by connecting different devices .\u00a0With this we get a clean view that gives it greater appeal\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>We are going to enjoy the indicated connectors for a solid experience in every way, here we highlight having four\u00a0HDMI\u00a0inputs\u00a0that will be perfect for connecting a wide variety of devices, as if that were not enough,\u00a0we have two in version 2.1, something totally in the range high\u00a0.\u00a0On the other hand, there are three\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0ports\u00a0with which we can reproduce content or if it is necessary to record it.\u00a0We will also have an\u00a0Ethernet\u00a0input\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Other physical connections that we cannot leave out are its composite video input, its optical digital audio output, its headphone jack and an RF input.\u00a0Another benefit is that this model turns out to be compatible with a wide variety of tuners.\u00a0In the wireless there will be no problems and we find very valuable options such as\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a0,\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0and\u00a0DLNA\u00a0with these three we will receive great benefits depending on what we do.<\/p>\n<h2>Image quality and general functions of the Sony BRAVIA XR A90J<\/h2>\n<p>Of the most valuable of the\u00a0SSony BRAVIA XR A90J\u00a0we have that it offers an incredible optimization for its image quality.\u00a0To begin with, we find a\u00a04K\u00a0resolution\u00a0to enjoy more realistic images, and to achieve that, an\u00a0OLED\u00a0panel is also added\u00a0that offers us totally deep and pure blacks due to the power of its backlighting.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, we are going to have a series of specific improvements for the image that will give us an even greater contribution.\u00a0With the idea of \u200b\u200bachieving\u00a0deep\u00a0,\u00a0natural\u00a0and\u00a0realistic\u00a0scenes at all times\u00a0, here for the first time\u00a0cognitive intelligence\u00a0is added\u00a0that seeks to understand for itself how users see to give a greater experience.<\/p>\n<p>There is also\u00a0Color XR\u00a0that provides us with\u00a0natural\u00a0and\u00a0attractive\u00a0colors\u00a0, and this is achieved because we are going to access a wide palette and that subtle colors can be reproduced as we see them in the real world.\u00a0Another benefit is that regardless of the content we see or its source of reproduction we will be close to\u00a04K\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>By means of the XR smoother we will enjoy softer and more natural scenes without presenting the effect of bands that are usually in other less powerful models.\u00a0Thus each image will be seen with thousands of tones\u00a0,\u00a0shadows\u00a0and\u00a0gradations\u00a0.\u00a0Thanks to the XR movement we will enjoy an action full of clarity, sharpness and almost perfect fluidity.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound<\/h3>\n<p>The audio quality will not be left behind either and we will receive an experience according to the power of other aspects to maintain a balance at all times.\u00a0In this case, its speakers give us a total power of 60W\u00a0, in addition, we have a conversion to Surround 3D that allows us to enjoy a multidimensional and more enveloping sound.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously we are also going to include improvement technologies so that the final result is still superior to what we can imagine.\u00a0Here we highlight the integration of\u00a0DTS digital\u00a0and\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0that will give a greater depth to the sound output.\u00a0This is great when it comes to listening to dialogue that will be clearer and more precise regardless of the content.<\/p>\n<h2>Sony BRAVIA XR A90J Software \/ Smart TV Review and More<\/h2>\n<p><a

XR65A90JAEP\u00a0comes equipped with the Google signature system, which we find quite powerful and ideal for a television with these capabilities.\u00a0To begin with, we will have an extensive application catalog that includes\u00a0Netflix\u00a0,\u00a0Apple TV\u00a0,\u00a0DAZN\u00a0,\u00a0Movistar +\u00a0,\u00a0Orange TV\u00a0,\u00a0Vodafone

have\u00a0Chromecast built-in\u00a0that gives us a similar operation.<\/p>\n<p>For the\u00a0Sony BRAVIA XR A90J to\u00a0achieve an image quality close to that offered by cinemas, we have compatibility for HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision that will give us a notable improvement in details such as colors and contrast.\u00a0This TV also works perfect for gaming,\u00a0obviously we will have better results
