Overview

The Sony A90J OLED TV, released in 2021, is Sony’s suggestion for a mid-range OLED TV if users want to mix and match their visual content.

For movies and TV shows, Sony points to their Cognitive Processor XR, which helps to improve the contrast ratio, create deeper black levels, and saturated colors in a natural way.

Lastly, it claims its XR Motion Clarity technology will be a boon to gamers by providing smoother motion processing and overall reduction to motion blur.
