If you don’t mind the steep cost, the premium Sony X93L is a superb all-rounder TV for HDR movies, watching sports, and serious gaming, given its high peak brightness, fantastic black levels, VRR compatibility, and more. However, the limited viewing angle hampers color accuracy.
Released in 2023, the Sony Bravia X93L is a premium 4K TV with a Mini LED backlight. It boasts low input lag, excellent response times, and high peak brightness, and with auto local dimming enabled, near-perfect black scenes are achievable.
The TV upscales low-resolution content to match 4K clarity, and bright lights don’t bloom into dark zones. Check out our list of best TVs for alternative 4K models.
The Sony X93L supports VRR and G-SYNC, comes with four HDMI ports (two HDMI 2.1), and the Google Smart TV platform is splendid for quick and easy navigation. The TV also uses Sony’s X-Wide Angle technology for an improved viewing angle.

our Verdict
Thanks to Sony Bravia X93L’s high peak brightness (1384 nits), glare is not a problem, and the two 2.1 HDMI ports will appeal to PS5 and Xbox owners.
The auto local dimming helps achieve deep blacks for nighttime movie get-togethers, and reflection handling is excellent in bright rooms. While the native refresh rate is 120 Hz, the TV is VRR-compatible.
Vivid colors stand out with a contrast ratio of 73,818: 1, and blooming is minimal with subtitles, while Sony’s Cognitive Processor XR is remarkable at upscaling low-quality content.
The remote control features voice control to easily navigate the user-friendly Google 10 OS, but off-center viewing lowers image accuracy (color washout at 40°). That said, competitive gamers will enjoy the tested low input lag (9.4 ms).
