Our Verdict
Samsung QN90C/QN90CD QLED
Sony X90L/X90CL
In most ways, the Samsung QN90C/QN90CD QLED is better than the Sony X90L/X90CL. The Samsung has better reflection handling and SDR brightness, so it's better suited for a bright room. It gets brighter in HDR, so highlights pop more in HDR content. The Samsung TV also has lower input lag, so it's the better option for gamers looking for the most responsive gaming experience. However, the Sony model has the edge in image processing, so low-quality and low-resolution content looks better on it.
