Our verdict

The Sony X75WL model is a television from 2023, which will continue into 2024 by the Japanese company Sony. It can offer many positive features. For example, thanks to the Google TV system, users can enjoy wide access to applications such as Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and more! The applications are easily accessible, and full integration with the Play Store allows for downloading many additional applications, including games and media players, etc. The built-in Google Assistant adds even more functionality, enabling users to control the television using voice commands. Daily usage is supported by features such as the ability to record to USB or connect peripherals (e.g., mouse and keyboard, headphones). All of this makes it a very functional device, tailored for various users. Solid cooperation with PC, thanks to support for chroma 4:4:4 and low input lag, makes the Sony X75WL a great choice for office use or working from home. The sound quality is also a plus – gentle bass and sound clarity will satisfy most users, particularly those who appreciate audio quality without the need to invest in additional speakers. Nevertheless, this model also has some drawbacks. Very poor contrast and average HDR performance make it not the best choice for nighttime cinematic viewing, where black depth and detail quality are crucial. Thicker bezels may not appeal to everyone. Despite its flaws, the Sony X75WL is a solid choice, especially for those looking for a versatile and functional television at an affordable price. However, if we are not strongly attached to the brand, we recommend considering competitive models (comparison visible below) - which may offer a better price-to-quality ratio.

Philips PUS9000 is proof that the manufacturer not only keeps a finger on the pulse but also listens attentively to its users. In the latest iteration of this popular series, there is a noticeable progress – especially compared to the previous generation that we had the opportunity to test. The use of a VA panel has brought a significant improvement in black levels, which finally presents itself at an acceptable level. A brightness of 500 nits does not disappoint even in sunlit rooms, and support for a wide range of HDR formats – including Dolby Vision and HDR10+ – complements the image of a well-prepared device. Additionally, the support for spatial audio technologies such as Dolby Atmos and DTS only enhances the positive impression, especially since the presence of all the aforementioned formats is not a given, even in the priciest models of 2025. But what truly sets this model apart from the competition is the Ambilight system. The multicoloured backlighting not only makes a visual impression – in a darkened room, it can enhance perceived contrast and completely transform the experience of watching a film or series. The gaming mode also deserves recognition. 144 Hz, low input lag, variable refresh rate, G-Sync compatibility, and Game Bar function – everything one could expect from a device designed with consoles and PC in mind. Unfortunately, not everything works perfectly. The Titan OS system, while operating relatively smoothly, still suffers from shortcomings – many popular applications are lacking, minor bugs appear, and the overall experience can be somewhat clunky in everyday use. Moreover, the remote, despite its modern appearance, still uses infrared and requires aiming at the television. What a pity.

So, who is the PUS9060 for? For those who want to immerse themselves in an evening session with impressive Ambilight, game on consoles, and stream content from external devices. In such a scenario, “The One” may indeed turn out to be "the one" – especially since its price is not off-putting on release day.

Halo effect and black detail visibility:

The tested model Sony X75WL is equipped with an IPS panel, which unfortunately negatively affects the quality of black levels and contrast. The black is shallow, and details in dark scenes are virtually invisible. In the film "Sicario 2", no details can be seen in the shadows. All of this makes the picture look poor and lacking in depth. The IPS panel used does not provide the level of contrast that more demanding users would expect, and the lack of detail in dark scenes significantly lowers the quality of the viewing experience when watching films. The X75WL television does not have local dimming functionality, which further complicates achieving the proper quality of black levels and contrast in this category.

The PUS9060 is a television that, in this version, is equipped with a VA panel – and this is immediately evident in the contrast tests. In the tested images, the television achieved really good results, at around 6500:1. Such a result alone indicates that the television has a very decent black level. Unfortunately, the PUS9060 is not equipped with local dimming technology, and as a result, the black levels in the dark may appear to have a tint resembling navy blue. Fortunately, the The One series is known, among other things, for the famous Ambilight system, which significantly improves perceived contrast, and thus ‘tricks’ our eye into seeing a better black level. It may seem simple, but it is remarkably useful. Therefore, we recommend using this television in the evening with this system switched on. It doesn’t necessarily have to be multicoloured and track the picture – it can simply be white.

The luminosity chart for the X75WL Sony television showed a maximum value of 350 nits, which is unfortunately not an impressive result. The television does not surprise with its brightness, and all the HDR scenes we tested lacked depth and the appropriate light effect that should accompany HDR content. Additionally, the poor coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut makes it difficult for the television to reproduce rich colours, which significantly affects the overall viewing experience of HDR content. The lack of adequate brightness and weak colour coverage mean that HDR effects are very limited in this model.

The One is bright enough to enjoy films recorded in HDR format. The average brightness of this model is around 500 nits, so we can easily expect a pleasant viewing experience for films from streaming platforms. Of course – it could always be better, because when it comes to brightness, you can never have too much for this type of content. Unfortunately, a disappointing surprise may be the coverage of the DCI-P3 colour palette offered by the PUS9060. Although the manufacturer boasts about using a QLED filter here (in reality, it’s PFS LED), it's hard to speak of any positive effects from its operation. 85% coverage of the DCI-P3 palette is certainly not a level to be proud of in 2025 – particularly in a television advertised as QLED.

After calibration

Colour reproduction tests for the model Sony X75WL are carried out in movie mode, which offers the best image settings, but it also has its flaws. The biggest problem with the X75WL Sony is the white balance – for both HD and 4K HDR content – which is characterised by a dominance of blue. As a result, the entire image feels too cold. The colour checker confirms these errors, showing that the colours lean towards cooler tones. In terms of brightness characteristics, the contrast gamma is at a fairly decent level, however, the same cannot be said for the EOTF curve. There are significant issues with maintaining appropriate brightness – the image is either overly bright or too dim, which impacts the visual perception of content.

We tested the PUS9060 in the best factory mode available – of course, we are referring to the movie mode. Unfortunately, the best in this case does not mean good. The image in this mode was distinctly yellowish and shifted towards orange tones. The white balance on this television was definitely too warm, giving the entire scene an artificial, somewhat “tanned” appearance. This led to significant colour errors, which in the worst cases exceeded a delta E value of 6 – thus they were visible to the naked eye. The situation was reversed in HDR mode, where the image became too blue and too cool in perception. Additionally, there was a slight increase in brightness – the gamma curve and EOTF suggested that the television slightly brightened the image, which was also evident in the comparative photo below.

Color reproduction after calibration

7.1/10

8/10

X75WL Sony is one of those cases where image calibration may not be highly spectacular, but it offers a very good improvement in the perception of colours. The white balance, for both HD and 4K materials, has been significantly improved – there is no longer a strong dominance of cooler shades. The gamma curve also appears more stable, which translates into better image quality. However, the biggest issue remains the EOTF curve, which is responsible for brightness in 4K materials. Due to the technological limitations of the television (IPS panel and lack of local dimming technology), it is hard to speak of a significant improvement, as we cannot extract more from this model. Despite these limitations, the tonal quality of the image has been significantly enhanced.

Thanks to calibration in film mode, we managed to completely eliminate the yellow-orange tint, which significantly improved the perception of the entire scene. The image has become much more visually pleasing, although it is still far from reference settings. It may now appear slightly bluish, but it is still a definite improvement compared to the factory settings.

Unfortunately, we were not able to significantly improve the brightness characteristics, but this is already a matter of the television's design - the absence of local dimming limits the ability to precisely manage brightness. The PUS9060 simply cannot dynamically adjust luminance as more advanced models do. Nevertheless, after calibration, the overall experience is much more enjoyable, especially with film material.

Smoothness of tonal transitions

8.1/10

8.9/10

In the model X75WL , the smoothness of tonal transitions performs very well. The gradation in the shadows is good, with no visible issues, positively affecting the quality of the image in darker areas. In brighter scenes, slight issues with smoothness can be noticed, but they are not clearly discernible and shouldn't affect viewing comfort. In a scene with vibrant red colour, slight clipping is noticeable, but it does not detract from the overall enjoyment of watching.

PHILIPS PUS9060 handles tonal transitions excellently – we did not notice any serious problems with colour blending. The gradation looks natural, without unpleasant bands or harsh transitions. We could only nitpick the most challenging dark scenes – that is where minimal imperfections appear, but overall it looks quite OK, especially for the class of equipment. For most users, the effect will be more than satisfactory.

In the case of low-quality tonal transitions, the television Sony X75WL performs poorly. The lack of any feature to improve tonal transitions results in noticeable imperfections in colour gradation. However, one can credit the quite good digital processing – the image is displayed without overscan, and overall it looks relatively good thanks to the added slight sharpness, which some users may appreciate.

In the PUS9060, we find yet another version of the image processor called by Philips the P5 Perfect Picture, which is designed to improve the image – especially the imperfect one. The television features a distortion reduction function, which serves to smooth tonal transitions, i.e., those "colour joins" we mentioned earlier. This function does this very effectively – there is no noticeable harsh gradation of colours, but unfortunately, it works so aggressively that it sometimes dulls desired elements, such as the textures of materials or film grain. So one can consider this a certain compromise. We would rather not recommend using this function for films, but for more casual content – e.g., YouTube or standard television – it is perfectly fine.

The P5 processor also aims to improve the quality of lower-resolution images and does so quite effectively. The test image with the model is very soft – sometimes overly so – but this can be easily adjusted with the sharpness slider to match personal preferences. It is also pleasing that the television does not cut off edges in SD materials – which unfortunately still occurs in some TV models.

The X75WL Sony television is equipped with a 60 Hz panel, making it more suitable for watching films than for dynamic gaming. This model features a motion smoothing function called Motionflow, which allows the user to adjust the picture on a 10-point scale. Smoothness is responsible for adding intermediate frames, thereby increasing the fluidity of motion, while the image becomes more theatrical, minimising the cutting effect. Clarity reduces motion blur, which is particularly useful in fast scenes such as sports or dynamic actions in films. With this feature, users can adjust the fluidity and sharpness of motion to their own preferences.

PHILIPS PUS9060 is equipped with a 4K panel with a refresh rate of 144 Hz, so we can confidently say that it is suitable for both watching sports and playing games. And indeed, it is. But what about films that are most often recorded at 24 frames? As with most of the televisions we tested with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and above, the PUS9060 offers two sliders in the motion smoothness options. The “Smoothness” slider allows you to adjust the effect in films – you can set the image to be smoother, resembling a theatrical effect (higher settings), or more cinematic, with a slight "jump" in frame rate (lower settings). Additionally, there is a function called "Motion Blur Reduction," which limits blurring – and this is a very useful feature, especially when watching sports.

X75WL is not the best television for gamers. It only has the ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) feature and a basic Game Bar, which are not enough to satisfy more demanding users. In this price range, one could expect support for features like VRR or 120 Hz refresh rates - although in FULLHD, which are already standard - unfortunately, they are lacking here. This is a major downside for Sony, as the competition offers much more for gamers in a similar budget.

PHILIPS PUS9060 is a true gaming monster – it has practically everything you could expect from a modern gaming television. There's VRR, there's ALLM, and on top of that, there's the implementation of HGiG, which helps to set HDR in games the way the developers intended. The television supports every possible resolution at 120 Hz, including 1080p, 1440p, and full 4K – so regardless of whether you're gaming on Xbox, PS5, or PC, everything works as it should. It also features a simple Game Bar, which is a special menu for gamers that allows you to quickly check if the ALLM mode is indeed working in low-latency mode.

And of course – Ambilight TV. Let’s be honest – without LED lights at the back, it’s not really a proper gaming setup. 😉 The multicoloured backlighting can really enhance the atmosphere, especially in the evening. It may not be to everyone's taste, but younger gamers will be thrilled – because it just looks impressive.

Sony KD-43X75WL offers a very low input lag of 14 ms, which is a significant advantage for gamers expecting a quick response from the television to commands from the controller. However, an input lag of 130 ms in Dolby Vision mode completely disqualifies this mode from being used while gaming. This means that users using Dolby Vision must contend with significant latency, which greatly affects comfort and precision during gameplay.

The One from 2025 performs very well in terms of responsiveness. An input lag of around 9 ms at a 120 Hz signal and 18 ms at 60 Hz are values that ensure a quick and smooth response to every movement of the controller. Playing even dynamic action titles or demanding e-sports games is completely comfortable. The situation is slightly worse when it comes to Dolby Vision – here the delay increases to around 33 ms. This is still an acceptable level for most “casual” gamers, but more demanding users may notice a slight slowdown in response. Therefore, in our opinion, a better choice would be the classic HDR10 mode with HGiG active. In this model, it has been implemented correctly and not only avoids delays but also eliminates potential problems with brightness and detail reproduction that sometimes occur in Dolby Vision.

The Sony X75WL model performs well as a computer monitor. With support for 4:4:4 chroma, text readability is very good, making text work on this television comfortable. Additionally, its low input lag ensures smooth and responsive functionality, making it enjoyable and convenient to use this model with a computer. The television is equipped with a 60 Hz panel and does not support G-Sync, which may be a downside for PC gamers. As a result, its rating in this category is lower – it works well for everyday computer tasks, but in games, especially fast-paced ones, there is a lack of fluidity that is crucial for smooth gameplay.

Using the computer on the PHILIPS PUS9060 should be pure pleasure. As we mentioned earlier, the television performs excellently for gaming on a console, but it also handles well in combination with a computer. It offers a refresh rate of 144 Hz, G-Sync Compatible works correctly, and it has low input lag - making it reasonable to consider this model as a fully-fledged PC monitor for gaming.

In terms of daily work, it is also good. Chroma 4:4:4 has been implemented correctly, so fonts are sharp and readable. We did not notice any issues with text clarity, although with very dark backgrounds, one can observe a slight dimming of the letters with a slight edge doubling. In practice, however, this should not bother anyone, even when working with text.

The viewing angles in the model KD-43X75WL are quite decent, thanks to the IPS panel used. The image remains relatively true even when viewed at an angle, which can be beneficial in situations where the television is watched from different spots in the room. However, we have seen better models with this type of panel that offer more consistent colour and contrast quality at wider angles.

The PUS9060 model is equipped with a VA panel, which – as is usually the case – does not perform very well when viewing at an angle. With a greater deviation from the axis, the screen brightness noticeably decreases, and colours lose saturation. Unfortunately, this is a typical compromise compared to IPS panels, which offer better viewing angles but have significantly weaker contrast and blacks. Here the situation is reversed – blacks are good, but angles are very average. Of course, with standard straight-on viewing, there is no problem, but in a larger living room or with a larger TV, where someone is sitting far to the side or we are looking at the edges of the screen, the differences will be noticeable.

The rating of the television Sony X75WL during the day is average. The satin coating of the panel moderately dampens reflections, which means that in a bright room, glares can be visible and interfere with the viewing experience. Additionally, a brightness level of 330 cd/m² is not sufficient to provide a clear image in very sunny conditions, which limits its use in well-lit rooms.

The Philips PUS9060 performs quite well in a bright room. The satin finish of the panel effectively reduces reflections and glare, so watching in a room full of lamps or with large windows should not pose major problems. It's also a plus that the blacks do not wash out excessively, and the picture still retains decent contrast. The situation could be even better if the television offered higher brightness. About 500 nits is a decent result, but in very challenging lighting conditions, it may prove insufficient.

The model KD-43X75WL operates on the Google TV system, which is an extension of Android TV and offers a wide range of features that facilitate the use of the television. Google TV provides access to personalised recommendations based on user preferences and viewed content, making it even easier to find interesting programmes. The system also ensures smooth access to popular applications such as Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video, as well as full integration with Google Play Store, allowing for the downloading of additional applications and games. With the built-in Google Assistant, the television can be controlled using voice commands, which is convenient and practical.

The television also offers a number of practical user features. The ability to record programmes onto an external USB drive allows for easy preservation of favourite content for later, which is particularly useful for live broadcasts. The model KD-43X75WL also enables the connection of various peripheral devices, such as keyboards, mice, or Bluetooth headphones, enhancing its functionality. The remote control included in the package operates on a radio communication basis, which means there's no need to aim at the screen to change channels or adjust the volume, making it a significant convenience for everyday use.

In terms of appearance, the model Sony X75WL presents itself solidly, although it cannot be called the slimmest television on the market. The bezels around the screen are not the thinnest, yet the overall look is aesthetically pleasing. It is worth noting the metal legs included in the package, which deserve praise for their sturdiness. These legs are adjustable, allowing for configuration even for very narrow furniture.

Classic Features of TheOne TV:

When it comes to these "classic features," the PUS9060 performs quite mediocrely. Of course, we will find everything basic here; there's EPG, teletext, and the ability to connect headphones via Bluetooth. But unfortunately – it lacks the USB recording function, and there's no PiP (picture in picture) mode, which is becoming rarer but is still useful. On the plus side, the remote control with a numeric keypad is modern, backlit, and visually impressive. It's just a shame that it's still a classic infrared model, so to use it, you have to aim it directly at the screen. It's a bit disappointing because with such a modern appearance, it really called for Bluetooth (RF) control.

Smart TV:

Most Philips TVs from 2025 operate on the Titan OS system, which debuted relatively recently – and unfortunately, this still comes with certain problems. The system itself runs quite smoothly – definitely better than in cheaper Philips models – and it did not cause us issues when using features like screen mirroring or AirPlay (which is not so obvious even in 2025). The biggest downside of Titan OS is still the rather mediocre access to applications (list below). The advantage is that we can bypass this by connecting a keyboard and mouse to the TV and using the built-in browser, but it's not the most comfortable solution – rather a makeshift one.

The built-in media player in the Sony X75WL model performs quite well, opening most popular video, audio, and photo formats. However, if we encounter issues with playing less common files, we can easily solve this problem by installing another player available on the Google Play Store, which allows for fuller use of the television's capabilities.

The built-in player in the PUS9060 played practically most popular audio and video formats, so it's really hard to find fault here. Movies in popular containers, music, and photos – everything worked without any problems.

The only potential drawback might be the limited number of supported subtitle formats and the randomly selected photo resolutions that the television can read. But aside from that, most everyday users will be perfectly fine without the need to connect a computer or console to display their files from a pen drive.

The sound quality of the X75WL model is very pleasant, and for this class and size of Sony television, it is truly impressive. There is a subtle bass, and the sound appears clear, which positively affects the reception of multimedia content. The television performs well with both dialogue and sound effects.

The sound from the PHILIPS PUS9060 was generally pleasant, although it is hard to call it sensational. The tested unit had built-in audio in a 2.0 configuration with a total power of 40 W, which is entirely sufficient for everyday viewing. Fortunately, the television supports most popular audio formats, so if someone connects a soundbar or home cinema, they can confidently expect full support for Dolby Atmos or DTS – without any hassle or loss of quality. For true audio fans, this is definitely good news.
