Review

The Sony BRAVIA XR-65X90L is quite the impressive TV, especially if you're a gamer or just love watching high-quality content. At 65 inches, it really dominates the living room. The full-array LED technology paired with the Cognitive Processor XR helps deliver vibrant colours and deep blacks, which is great for everything from movies to gaming. If you're into PlayStation 5, this TV is designed to work seamlessly with it, making your gaming experience pretty slick.

You get 4K HDR support, which means your favourite shows and films look stunning, and the 120 Hz refresh rate is a nice touch for smooth motion, especially during action-packed scenes or fast-paced gaming. The Google TV interface is user-friendly, and having Google Assistant built-in is handy for quick searches or controlling smart home devices.

However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. At £1,399, it's definitely on the pricier side, and while you get a solid five-year warranty, some might argue you’re paying a bit extra for the Sony brand name. The aluminium seamless edge design is nice, but it doesn't really affect performance. Also, while the picture quality is top-notch, the sound could be better. You might want to invest in a soundbar if you're after full cinematic audio.

Overall, I’d score it a solid 90 out of 100. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a premium viewing experience, especially gamers, but make sure you’re ready to fork out the cash. If you can live with the sound limitations or are prepared to enhance it, this TV is a brilliant addition to your home entertainment setup.
