Our Verdict

Sony X93L/X93CL

Sharp AQUOS FS1 OLED

The Sharp AQUOS FS1 OLED and the Sony X93L/X93CL are different TVs with their own strengths. The Sony gets a lot brighter in HDR, so bright highlights in HDR content pop a lot more than they do on the Sharp, and it also gets significantly brighter in SDR, so it can overcome a lot more glare than the Sharp, which makes it the much better choice for a bright room. However, the Sharp has a wider viewing angle, so the image remains more consistent from the sides. The Sharp also has better contrast with zero blooming or haloing, so it looks better in a dark room.
