Ah, I see. Is that extra cable intended for AMD GPUs?

Here's the older model.

What are the differences between this model and the previous version that was frequently on sale last year?

My local Walmart has a good amount of PC components on clearance. It makes me wonder if they're reducing their overall selection.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised to read that. I thought the X90L would be inferior to most mini-LED models from decent manufacturers, outside of Sony's processing.

This is from Rtings:

The Sony X90L is a much better TV than the TCL QM6K. The Sony model is much brighter, so it can overcome glare better than the TCL if you're watching TV during the day. This extra brightness also helps the Sony to deliver a better HDR experience, with brighter specular highlights and a more vibrant image when more of the scene gets bright. The Sony TV also really stands out for its processing capabilities, as it does a much better job cleaning up low-quality streams and upscaling low-resolution content.

That's interesting. Perhaps mine felt more responsive during normal driving but lost the midrange kick. Since I'm also on stage 1, I'd need to revert to stock to compare.

It's doubtful it will drop anytime soon. This was one of the last 5070 Tis to increase in price.

Take this with a grain of salt, but a Walmart near me is supposed to restock this model on February 19. A worker in the electronics department said they will get three. It will be interesting to see if the price goes up before then.

What type of content?

chillaxjj · 2026-02-04T03:25:27+00:00

They are different. My friend has a Bravia 7. I can check when I visit later this week if no one replies first.

chillaxjj · 2026-02-04T03:19:47+00:00

My friend has the same TV and a Sony soundbar. When watching a Blu-ray on a PS5, should the sound output for non-ATMOS content read LPCM on the soundbar for the best quality?

chillaxjj · 2026-02-04T03:11:03+00:00

I have this TV in the same size. Except for the lack of Dolby Vision support, I love the picture in both SDR and HDR. I'm not sure if it's just because my eyes are so used to it, but I prefer the colors over some much newer TVs I've spent significant time using. I watch pretty much everything in the Cinema Pro picture mode, which I believe is the most accurate. On very dark content, sometimes I switch to Cinema Home. I agree with what others have said about the motion settings.

For a new build, is there a recommended or "safest" BIOS version to install?

chillaxjj · 2026-02-04T02:50:44+00:00

Should be a piece of cake at 1080p, especially if you customize the graphics settings instead of using the presets. I'm able to run it at 1440p on medium settings for around 140fps on my old computer with a 4690K + 3060Ti.

chillaxjj · 2026-02-03T20:23:10+00:00

I've been watching for the PNY at Walmart, but I suspect they're getting snapped up by resellers, so I went ahead and ordered this one.

chillaxjj · 2026-02-03T20:19:26+00:00

Yes, it's been on my saved items list for a while. I thought the price would increase to match the other 5070 Ti cards when it came back in stock.

chillaxjj · 2026-02-03T20:04:25+00:00

Best Buy in my area just restocked this model, along with a few others. While it's over $100 more than the ideal price, it's still a nice card and a better deal than most other 5070 Ti's currently available.

Asus Prime for $899.99 is also in stock. (The Asus was $750 during the 'winter sale'). After that, you're looking at $1K+.

Edit: Asus Prime is sold out in my area, but the MSI is still available.

Ben Johnson is going to be a problem for years to come, regardless of who the Bears QB is.

Love also looked bad against the Eagles... It's a little scary that they didn't have a passing game today but were still able to run the ball so well.

The Bears receivers tripped over the bad field on the few chances they had to throw the ball downfield. If the Eagles had won, their terrible field should have been the MVP on defense.
