It’s a lot better than I expected. I was comping from an X90H which had terrible contrast and blooming, so I was expecting the X90K to be similar.
I was really suprised how much better the 90K is over the 90H. There’s so much more contrast and still some blooming, but you really have to look for it. The colour is more vibrant now compared to being totally washed out on the X90H.
It‘s obviously nowhere near as good as the C935, but still good all the same.
And the upscaling is night and day different compared to the TCL. I didn’t realise how bad the upscaling on the TCL was until I start watching lower quality content on the Sony again. The Sony knocks it out of the park, but that’s what Sony TV’s are known for anyway.
Also everything jury’s works out of the box. I’ve just sent it up, adjusted the settings to my taste and that’s it, no bad DSE on the panel, no crackling sound or settings changing, no light bar bug when watching content in widescreen format, nothing.
My only complaint about the X90K compared to the TCL is the sound is piss poor because of the weak little 30W speakers built into the TV compared to the TCL’s 60W speaker system, so you would need to add a soundbar to the TV.
Overall I’m really impressed, might even hold onto it for a while until the better TV’s come out later on in the year.
You’re talking bollox pal. I also had the X90H and the blooming and contrast on that TV were total shiiite. It had lots of blooming and no contrast, everything looked washed out.
You can see the comparison on RTINGS of the X90H and X90K contrast levels.
