Skip both if

Neither publishes peak brightness, HDMI 2.1 ports or VRR / ALLM yet.

The Samsung 65" QN90C Neo QLED TV relies on a Mini-LED backlight array paired with quantum dots to deliver higher peak brightness. And improved local dimming compared with conventional LED panels, while the Sony XR-65X90J 65" LED TV uses a standard full-array LED backlight. And Sony’s well-regarded Cognitive Processor XR for motion handling and color accuracy. Public reviews consistently note the Samsung model’s confirmed 120 Hz native refresh rate. And its ability to maintain clarity during fast sports or gaming scenes, alongside a current street price of $1,699.99 that undercuts many similarly sized premium sets. The Sony model earns praise for natural upscaling and skin-tone rendering drawn from its processing heritage, yet reviewers highlight that full specification details on its refresh rate. And dimming zones remain less transparent at launch. Both sets support major HDR formats and run their respective smart platforms with wide app libraries. Bottom line: choose the Samsung 65" QN90C Neo QLED TV for verified performance metrics. And immediate availability, or lean toward the Sony XR-65X90J 65" LED TV if processing nuance outweighs published specifications.

Verdict: Pick Samsung 65" QN90C Neo QLED TV if you need a confirmed 120Hz refresh rate, Neo QLED panel and known price of $1,699.99. Pick Sony XR-65X90J 65" LED TV if you prefer Sony’s processing and are willing to wait for detailed specs. Neither publishes peak brightness, HDMI 2.1 ports or VRR / ALLM yet.
