Our take on the Sony K65XR90 65 Bravia Mini LED TV

The Sony Bravia XR90 is a 4K Mini LED TV with Sony's XR processor, full-array local dimming and the Google TV smart platform. Its strengths are high brightness, strong contrast and precise motion handling, plus two HDMI 2.1 inputs for 4K/120Hz gaming. It sits below Sony's flagship Bravia 9, so it gives up some peak brightness and dimming zones, but it undercuts OLED rivals on brightness and avoids their burn-in risk. It suits film and sports viewers in bright rooms and console gamers who want Sony's picture processing.

Questions and answers

Is the Sony XR90 worth it over the Bravia 9?

The Bravia 9 is brighter with more dimming zones and better sound. The XR90 keeps most of the picture quality for less, so choose it unless you want the brightest Sony Mini LED.

Does it support 4K/120Hz and VRR for PS5 and Xbox?

Yes. Two HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K at 120Hz, VRR and ALLM, which covers a PS5 or Xbox Series X plus one more device.

How does it compare with an OLED TV?

The XR90 gets brighter and has no burn-in risk, which suits bright rooms and sports. OLED sets still beat it on off-angle viewing and per-pixel contrast.

What is in the box?

The TV, a tabletop stand, the remote, batteries and a power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.

Does it run Google TV?

Yes. It uses Google TV with major streaming apps, Chromecast built-in and voice search through the remote.

Is the built-in sound good enough without a soundbar?

It handles news and casual viewing, and supports Dolby Atmos. For films and gaming, a soundbar or AV receiver adds the bass and scale the TV lacks.
