Our take on the Sony XR90 Series BRAVIA Mini LED HDR QLED 4K Google TV with HT-A8000 Bravia Theater Bar Soundbar
The XR90 is Sony's step-down Mini LED 4K Google TV, sitting below the Bravia 9 and above the X90L. It pairs a 120 Hz QLED panel with Sony's XR processor, full-array Mini LED backlighting and Google TV, and this bundle adds the HT-A8000 Bravia Theater Bar soundbar. It suits people who want bright HDR, strong motion handling and Sony's picture processing without paying flagship money. Reviewers rate its contrast and color well but note blooming around bright objects and fewer dimming zones than the Bravia 9.
- Mini LED backlight gives high brightness for HDR
- 120 Hz panel with HDMI 2.1 features for consoles
- Google TV with broad app support and voice search
- Sony XR processing handles upscaling and motion well
- HT-A8000 soundbar adds real bass and height effects
