Our Verdict
Sony X90L/X90CL
Sony BRAVIA 7 QLED
The Sony BRAVIA 7 QLED is better than the Sony X90L/X90CL. The BRAVIA 7 has better contrast with an improved local dimming solution. The BRAVIA 7 is also noticeably brighter than the X90L, especially in HDR, providing more impactful highlights overall. The X90L does have a wider viewing angle, although both TVs are disappointing in that department. Finally, the X90L does have a small edge in response time, perhaps making it the better option for competitive gamers looking for responsiveness first and foremost. Still, overall, the BRAVIA 7 is the better product in almost every category.
