Our Verdict

Sony X90J

TCL R745 QLED

The Sony X90J and the TCL R745 QLED are two great TVs with a few differences. The Sony is available in several sizes, from 50 to 75 inches, but the TCL is only available in an 85 inch size. They each have a local dimming feature, but the one on the Sony is more effective. The TCL gets brighter and displays a wider color gamut for HDR, but the Sony has better gradient handling. The TCL is limited to HDMI 2.0 bandwidth while the Sony has HDMI 2.1 inputs for high-frame-rate gaming.
