Sony\u00a0usually manufactures high-quality televisions regardless of the range, this causes them to be highly sought-after models, however, normally in each category they tend to be high-priced equipment, although if we compare the quality they can be interesting options that are worth the investment .<\/p>\n

For this year they have released new alternatives and we find the\u00a0Sony XR-55X90S\u00a0that is in the mid-range, however, delving into its features in detail, we notice that it includes functions previously seen in the high-end range.<\/p>\n

Exterior design of the Sony BRAVIA XR \u2013 55X90S<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

It is a mid-range model, however, it offers an attractive design that with a good placement provides a deep look.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Sony XR55X90S\u00a0seems attractive to us in terms of aesthetics because it includes details that improve the appearance, in fact, it maintains the style of certain models that have come out in previous years, obviously they integrate only the good.\u00a0It won’t be the most impressive design we’ll see either.<\/p>\n

But unlike what we used to see in the past, a positive change is felt, especially since in these times many users begin to pay more attention to the aesthetic.\u00a0For this reason, we see better design work, this model has a size of\u00a055 inches\u00a0that seems good to us.<\/p>\n

Especially since its dimensions will be suitable for both medium-sized and slightly larger rooms or rooms.\u00a0Obviously we must look for the placement that best suits the environment.\u00a0In addition, we can purchase the\u00a0VESA\u00a0support to make installation even easier.<\/p>\n

We recommend placing the TV directly on the wall, so we have a better view of the front thanks to the thin bezels that even provide elegance and through the black chassis it improves the presence.\u00a0The only negative point is that the rear has a voluminous space.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Sony BRAVIA XR \u2013 55X90S\u00a0offers four\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs that are quite useful for the ease they give us to connect compatible devices and have the possibility of transmitting the audio and video signal in acceptable quality.\u00a0We can also have two\u00a0USB\u00a0ports .<\/p>\n

These are used to play videos, music and photos from compatible units, however, a negative detail is that we do not have the option to record content, which seems necessary at present, therefore, it leaves us with a bitter taste, but it is still good connectivity.<\/p>\n

We can check this in the specifications table that we leave above, there you will have the exact physical connections available.\u00a0You will also find the compatible tuners.\u00a0On the wireless issue there will be a good experience thanks to\u00a0Wi-Fi Direct\u00a0,\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0and\u00a0DLNA\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general of the Sony XR-55X90S<\/h2>\n

One of the main advantages of the\u00a0Sony XR-55X90S\u00a0ends up being its image thanks to the optimization that it integrates.\u00a0Add to this that it has a\u00a04K\u00a0resolution that provides four times more power than Full HD, therefore, this definition will show details with greater precision.<\/p>\n

Unlike most mid-range televisions that include a Direct or Edge LED backlight, here we have a\u00a0Full Array LED\u00a0that improves a lot, since the dimming has a different control that improves the blacks, therefore, there will be no loss of quality as notable.<\/p>\n

Which will be ideal for dark and bright environments, likewise, we find enhancement technologies that work on essential parameters such as color, contrast, brightness, and saturation.\u00a0We highlight exclusive features from the same firm as\u00a04K X-Reality PRO\u00a0,\u00a0Triluminos Pro\u00a0and\u00a0Sony XR\u00a0.<\/p>\n

So we will see more vivid and intense scenes regardless of the content.\u00a0Likewise, it has compatibility with\u00a0HDR10\u00a0,\u00a0HLG\u00a0and\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0, the only disadvantage of which is that they are activated with content that is compatible, since otherwise we may not notice a significant difference.<\/p>\n

Another advantage is found in its frequency that works from 100 Hz to 120 Hz, helping to enjoy fluid movements, ideal for movies and video games, in addition, it has\u00a0XR Motion Clarity\u00a0that also benefits this aspect.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

It can be considered one of the weak points, since it only includes 20W, which is typical of the mid-range,\u00a0but currently there is a lot of content that requires more power to be heard clearly\u00a0, however, the built-in speakers will not be enough.<\/p>\n

The good thing is the inclusion of technologies such as\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0,\u00a0DTS Digital Surround\u00a0and\u00a0Adaptive Sound Control\u00a0that contribute a lot to provide an immersive and precise experience.\u00a0However, the best thing from our point of view will be to acquire a sound system to improve the quality.<\/p>\n

Analysis of the software \/ Smart TV and more features of the Sony XR55X90S<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

It offers a pretty good system that stands out for the features that it allows us to use for entertainment<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Sony XR55X90S\u00a0\u00a0comes with the latest version of Google TV, so we found better optimization and security at the same time, although that’s partly because this TV packs a quad -core\u00a0\u00a0X1\u00a0processor , making for an intuitive system. for a pleasant experience.<\/p>\n

In this way there will be no problem when downloading and installing various applications.\u00a0Speaking of which, it has the Play Store,\u00a0\u00a0a very complete store that offers more than 7,000 options\u00a0, although not all of them are functional.\u00a0However, it includes today’s most popular applications.<\/p>\n

Another attraction of the\u00a0Sony BRAVIA XR \u2013 55X90S\u00a0 is that it works through the\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Amazon Alexa\u00a0voice assistants\u00a0\u00a0that improve control of certain features.\u00a0Finally, we must mention that for gaming it has ALLM and VRR, generating good performance.<\/p>\n
