The Sony X90J base follows Sony's traditional triangular style and is just the right height to fit some of the regular supporting devices, such as TV boxes, echo walls, etc., without blocking the view.

Sony X90K is parallel to the desktop base, the metal material looks natural with the TV, the overall use of black color and the shape of the design is relatively stable, which will keep the TV stable.

It is also very simple to install, just plug the base into the corresponding interface.

Both TVs have small bezels and a high screen-to-body ratio, and when they are turned on, they play like a piece of art in the center of the living room.

2. Configuration


Sony X90K and X90J both use Sony's XR chip, while the X90K further optimizes the algorithm of the Cognitive Processor XR and further upgrades the speaker structure to make them sound as realistic and three-dimensional as if they were coming from a picture.

In 2021, the Sony Cognitive Processor XR came out, Sony TV-related black technology, as well as picture technology, have been significantly improved. The new XR color display technology not only makes the picture color gamut wider but also can cross-analyze the picture elements like the human brain and through calculations, the small changes in different colors are meticulously displayed, so that the picture played on the TV is closer to the colors visible to the naked eye in life.

3. Game Mode


Both TVs have game mode, Sony X90K supports VRR variable refresh rate and has automatic low latency mode, which is smoother with Sony's own PS5 console. The TV will automatically switch to game mode after connection to minimize input latency and bring more responsive control, while the TV will switch to the standard mode when the user is watching movies and TV resources or discs.

The Sony X90J supports 4K/120fps HDMI input for smoother motion graphics, and also when paired with a gaming console, it can automatically switch to gaming mode with one touch to achieve less latency. This mode is created by Sony specifically for gamers and can be turned on/off to optimize the game mode depending on the game, reducing the input latency of the TV to improve the smoothness and operability when playing.

4. Summary


Both TVs are gaming TVs, which are very friendly for gamers, especially with a 4K/120hz HDMI 2.1 interface, so both TVs have a smooth gaming experience.

The picture quality of the Sony X90J is amazing and combines perfectly with the PS5.

Usually, I play games on the Sony X90J, and my kids watch cartoons on the Dangbei projector. Because of the diffuse reflection principle of the projector, it is less harmful to the eyes compared to a TV.

I recommend the Dangbei Mars Pro because you can get a 250" picture for the price of a 75" TV, (you can project it up to 300", but I don't have a wall that big in my house)

Anyway, if you're looking for a projector for your movie night, I'd recommend the Dangbei Mars Pro, a laser projector with a brightness of 3200 ANSI lumens. I haven't seen a brighter projector in this price range.
