Sony's latest X90 LCD TV could be king of the mid-range
-

4K TV
TV tech is progressing with such speed that ‘standard’ OLED and QLED TVs are starting to fade into the background as QD-OLED and MLA models start grabbing the limelight. But before you go feeling sorry for those plucky OLEDs and QLEDs, spare a thought for their even less glamorous siblings, the standard LCD TVs. No organic materials, no Quantum Dots and no Mini LEDs; surely a ‘traditional’ LCD TV stands no chance? Sony’s mid-range X90L – the latest in a long line of very popular X90 models – says otherwise.
The 55in version of this TV that we are reviewing here (the XR-55X90L, to give it its full title) is priced at ₨1,28,240. That makes it usefully more affordable than the superb A80L OLED TV, which will set you back more.
Previous generations of the X90 line have been particularly popular in smaller sizes, but this 55in model is as small as the X90L gets. You can go much, much bigger though – right up to 98 inches if you have the space and budget.
Conservative design
The design of Sony’s core TV models has varied little in recent years, and there is no design revolution for the X90L, which is conservative to the point of slight blandness. It’s quite thick (5.6cm) and heavy (17kg) by modern standards, though not to a startling degree.
As with most current Sony TVs, the X90L comes with feet rather than a pedestal stand. These can be positioned either at the extremes of the set’s bottom edge or closer to its centre. They can also be extended to create a gap beneath the TV for a soundbar.

Pro-Ject nails the affordable Bluetooth turntable recipe
There are some combinations that work beautifully, even if you wouldn't necessarily consider putting them together in the first place. Beans on toast is an odd combination when you think about it, as is surf and turf, while carrots in a cake has no right to be as good as it is. Mixing poached eggs with smoked salmon is essentially combining poultry and fish, but no one complains when a bougie brunch spot has Eggs Royale on the menu, do they?
