Our Verdict
Sony BRAVIA 7
LG QNED90T
The Sony BRAVIA 7 QLED is a better TV than the LG QNED90T. The Sony is brighter overall, so it overcomes more glare in a well-lit room and displays brighter highlights in HDR content. The Sony also has better color volume, so it can display more vibrant, lifelike, and bright colors. Additionally, the Sony has better image processing and is the more accurate TV in both SDR and HDR. Both TVs have a similar contrast ratio, but the Sony’s is slightly better, and it has less blooming and less noticeable zone transitions.
