The actuators serve a much more immersive purpose than simply providing crisp sound. The sounds they generate seem to come directly from the screen, rather than simply the general area of the TV. The result is audio that better matches exactly what you’re watching, and a capable center channel that can be integrated into a surround sound system.
The screen can dim a little where static image elements appear, for a protracted time, which can be noticeable when gaming. Though not to a degree where I felt it was really letting a game down. Voices are crystal clear at all times, even though there’s a sense of scale to the sound stage that spreads beyond the screen’s boundaries. As well as objectively giving you a much more HDR experience that even holds up with very aggressively mastered HDR titles, the extra full screen brightness the 65A90J can deliver ensures that you also experience way more of that natural, real world experience that HDR is at heart all about. The A90J excels in so many picture quality areas that it’s hard to know where to start trying to dissecting things. Since the new high-brightness panel is so key to the A90J’s premium OLED status, though, that’s as good a place to start as any.

Having finally slipped into negative mode regarding the 65A90J’s pictures, I’d usually now take the opportunity to go into a few other problems. However, problems are pretty hard to find on Sony’s OLED flagship. It competes with the G1 from LG and the Panasonic JZ1500 in those terms and offers excellent performance We test input lag using an HDFury Diva HDMI matrix to measure the amount of time between when a TV receives a signal and the screen updates. In Cinema mode, the A90J shows an input lag of 151.9 milliseconds, which is far too high to be comfortable. However, switching to the Game picture mode makes that lag drop to just 9.9ms. That’s less than half of the 20ms threshold we use to consider a TV to be among the best for gaming. Standout Sound
If you want to see just how extreme the 65A90J’s colours can go, give the Vivid preset a go. You likely won’t want to keep using this for long as its intensity actually becomes pretty tiring, but it certainly helps explain why the TV is so comfortable handling even the most vibrant and bright content in the other more natural modes. The amount of times the TV keeps pointing out that a particular picture quality change might impact power consumption is quite infuriating too - though I guess this affects me as someone testing the TV’s features out much more than it would a regular user, who’s unlikely to change picture settings all that often.
Video Review
audio quality is well above average for a TV of this type and on par with the use of a mid-range soundbar All this talk of powerful image processing may sound alarming to AV purists. But trust me: The Cognitive Processor XR is driven much more by naturalism than any desire to make pictures in any way gaudy. In fact, it’s pretty easy to imagine Sony sitting there tuning the XR processor with the brand’s legendary X300 OLED mastering monitor sat alongside for reference. Upscaling is also first-class on the Sony Bravia XR A90J, displaying excellent image quality with clear edges and superb details. Edges look solid and free from ringing with Reality Creation switched off. When switched on, it does add in some edge enhancement that gives the image a slightly digital but incredibly sharp appearance. The HDR brightness in 'Game' mode is very similar to the HDR brightness outside of ‘Game’ mode. That said, the brightness measured slightly lower than outside of 'Game' mode, especially the real scene brightness. As with SDR, you can set HDR Tone Mapping to 'Brightness Preferred' to get a slightly brighter image, though we expect that this will depend highly on the content. Warming up the TV makes certain Real Scenes brighter, but doesn't change much overall.
