Our Verdict

Sony X90K/X90CK

Sony X93L/X93CL

The Sony X93L is a significant step up over the Sony X90K/X90CK. The X93L gets significantly brighter in HDR, so bright specular highlights stand out better. The X93L also has a better anti-reflective coating and a slightly wider viewing angle, but the off-angle viewing isn't good on either model. Finally, the local dimming feature on the X93L is more advanced, with more dimming zones that result in higher contrast, better dark scene performance overall, and significantly less blooming around bright highlights.
