The 2023 Sony TV lineup has been announced, and these TVs are attracting a lot of attention. In this article, we've compiled six major Sony TVs: Sony X80L, X85L, X90L, X95L, A80L, A95L and compared their parameters side by side.
As for the SOC, it still uses last year's MT 5895. In fact, all of the 2023 Sony TVs, except the A95L, are still MT 5895. Of course, the Sony X80L also does not use the XR chip, but the X1 picture quality algorithm that is integrated into the SOC.
In general, 2023 Sony X80L and last year's Soony X80K compared to last year, there is nothing to upgrade.
2023 Sony X85L TV is worth getting your attention. Why? Because the previous X85 never had a light control partition, now it does, and it's a soft screen that will have a higher contrast ratio. But as a whole, it's basically the same as its predecessor, with no upgrades to brightness, SOC, memory, ports, etc.
Sony X85L with also c uses integrated X1 algorithm, no XR chip. Therefore, it can be expected that it will have 4K 120Hz signal blurring problem. And the function of smoothing gradient color gradation is also not available.
It is worth mentioning that the 2023 Sony X90L has 98 inches and the price is estimated to be about $6000.
As for sound, the Sony X95L has a new Acoustic Multi-Audio+speaker effect. It vibrates through the metal bezel to make sound, a technology originally used only on 8K TVs.
It should be emphasized that in the 2023 Sony TV lineup, only the Sony A95L is powered by MediaTek's new chip Pentonic 1000, which has better performance than the MT 5895.
