Good afternoon

I bought a Sony X90L during Harvey Norman Pre-Ramadan Sales early March.

I've seen them both but not side by side, overall picture quality for Bravia 7 seems better but not sure if topping up another RM3k justify the upgrade?

From what i read, viewing angles & reflection / glare handling on Bravia 7 seems bad but i can't tell much from showroom.

I would love to hear your opinions regarding this scenario.

Many Thanks

Side Note : TV is not delivered yet due to my apartment still under minor renovation.

seems like deep in your heart, you would like to swap :X

I have an X90K, and my friend has an X90L. Both perform equally well with minimal blooming. I've only noticed the blooming twice in the two years since I bought it. I'd rather save the money and invest in a good soundbar instead.

Vincent from HDTVTest Youtube channel liked the Bravia 7 as it performed better than expected; if picture quality is a big priority

Yes correct, just want to hear some opinions on pros and cons.

Most of the time blooming will only appear on a very dark scenes and also if you focus on it, minimal blooming is acceptable since it's not OLED, even mini led might have slight blooming, guess you're right, i have samsung Q990D soundbar in my mind, Q990F is coming but not sure when.

I'm not familar with HDTVTest, thanks for sharing this and i'll head over to have a look. Much appreciated.

refund back and dont forget to bring lawyers.
some of the place will die2 halau u keluar premis.

BR-9 is highest in Sony TV line up. More expensive, even better in picture quality and sound effect.
It has more brightest among 4K range of TV which suit to user who prefer bright color than natural color.
Each has diff picture processor spec.
BR-9 is Mini QLED with highest peak luminance, slimmest panel and Tweeter sound, X-glare
BR-8 is OLED with surround sound system
BR-7 is Mini QLED with std spker.

If house living room no so big, then you may choose BR-7 enough.
Bcos seeing from eye to the TV like 2.8m from the sofa may be just fine. Too near and you will get headache when watch action movie.

Thanks for your suggestion, harvey norman will allows return as long as T&C terms are met, won't halau lol.

Thanks for your time elaborating, by the way do you own BR7? you mentioned will get headahce when watch action movie if sit too near because of the brightness? can't tune down? Thanks

It is because the horizontal level of the action scene is the one making you headache. May be ok for the young people probably their eye muscle is great condition. I don't own BR-7 but i am using older version Bravia TV in office.

If budget is not issue then get the Bravia 7. It is Mini LED with 480 dimming zones. X90L only 88 zones at least for the 65”.

Having said that the X90L is still a capable TV. 700+ nits full field SDR brightness, 1000+ nits HDR brightness.

It is plenty bright for watching SDR and HDR contents.

You can always refer to rtings.com for reliable numbers.

Curious what is the size of X90L and how much?

If the tv not delivered yet, high chance you can cancel it, just contact them regarding this matter

If you feel bravia 7 is your choice, go for it 🤔🔥😉🔥😎

Horizontal level of the action scenes, i'm not sure why is it but i'll try finding out. Thanks

Personally I feel bravia 7 is your best choice as for now...,
Don't think much & just go forward with it 😁

Bravia 7 does have a lot of dimming zones compares to X90L, really a lot.

According to what you mentioned, X90L is capable TV where 700+ nits for SDR brightness and 1000++ for HDR and it's plenty bright, Bravia 7 would be much higher, i wonder if i will find it too bright in long run, i also read that some users were lowering the brightness but at the same time losing details.

It's 65" and it was RM5887 if not mistaken (with RM400 TNG)

its good time testing their service
