Sony’s PlayStation 5 is known for its cutting-edge graphics and immersive gameplay, with exclusive titles such as Gran Turismo 7, Horizon Forbidden West and God of War: Ragnarok epitomising what next-gen gaming is all about.
Of course, in order to take full advantage of the PlayStation 5’s potential, you’ll also need a TV that can handle all that power, and Sony’s X90L is more than up to the task.
As part of Sony’s 2023 Bravia XR Series of TVs, the X90L is designed to work in perfect harmony with the company’s own PlayStation 5 console. That means it’s ready for the demands of next-gen gaming, with full specification support for HDMI 2.1 features and a beautiful Full Array 4K HDR display that can deliver high contrast visuals and ultra-smooth frame rates.
And that’s just the start of it – read on to find out why Sony’s X90L is the perfect television for serious PlayStation 5 gamers.
HDMI 2.1 brings next-gen gaming features
In order to deliver a truly next-gen gaming experience, Sony’s X90L TV provides two full specification HDMI 2.1 ports, allowing the PlayStation 5 to showcase its full potential. That means the ability to display stunning 4K resolution games at up to 120 frames-per-second for ultra-smooth and sharp gameplay.
On top of this, full specification HDMI 2.1 also brings support for variable refresh rates (VRR), allowing the TV to adjust its frame rate in real-time in order to perfectly sync up to the PS5’s output, as well as auto low latency mode (ALLM), which automatically enables your TV’s Game Mode when a gaming signal is detected, ensuring minimal input lag during gameplay.
Automatically optimised for PS5
As both the X90L and PS5 come from Sony, the pair have been designed to work perfectly together. That means Bravia televisions like Sony's X90L will automatically configure the optimal HDR settings for the console, meaning there’s no need to mess with in-game brightness calibration tools.
For a game like Gran Turismo 7, which has been designed to showcase an incredibly high level of visual fidelity, this automatic HDR optimisation is the factor that allows it to look and feel as realistic as possible. When played on a TV like Sony’s X90L, which is capable of achieving very high peak brightness and excellent blacks in dark areas, this automatic optimisation will make a simulation game like Gran Turismo 7 look even closer to the real thing.
But don’t just take our word for it – here’s why Gran Turismo producer Kazunori Yamauchi thinks his games are best experienced on a Bravia XR television.
A wide range of additional features for gamers
On top of offering a dedicated Game Mode picture setting, as well as full spec support for gaming PCs and next-gen consoles like the PlayStation 5, Sony Bravia televisions like the X90L also provide access to a feature-packed Game Menu to help you get the most out of your games.
In the Game Menu, which you can bring up at the bottom of your screen at any time, you’ll find options for gamer-centric features like VRR, motion blur reduction, black equaliser, screen size settings and more. Many of these features offer different levels of intensity, letting you tweak things like motion blur and shadow detail to your liking.
And, for a competitive edge, Sony’s Game Menu also lets you apply a persistent crosshair right in the middle of your screen which makes it easier for you to aim at enemies and rivals. The crosshair even has its own dedicated settings, giving you a number of style and colour options to choose from.
So if you’re looking for a television that will provide the best experience for PlayStation 5 games, look no further than Sony’s X90L.
