If you prioritize gaming, sports watching, and a vibrant performance in both dark and bright rooms, the Sony X90K would be a better choice despite being more expensive. This TV also excels in color and motion processing, making it suitable for general high-quality content viewing. However, if you're on a strict budget and mostly watch TV shows, news, or use the TV as a PC monitor, the Toshiba C350LU could save you money. Just be aware that you'll sacrifice picture quality, as it performs poorly across most viewing experiences compared to the Sony. Keep in mind, the Sony is better equipped for a wider array of content, including HDR formats like Dolby Vision, which the Toshiba lacks. Give Feedback

"As Sony’s next-to-flagship LCD TV, the X90K series delivers impressive performance for the price. The XR90K had fairly accurate out-of-box color. The TV’s multi-position stand lets you either set the screen flush with any stand its mounted on or elevate it to clear space for a soundbar. With the latter option, you get around 3 inches of clearance enough to accommodate most soundbars. The X90K’s excellent suite of gaming features ranks it up there with the best 120 Hz 4K TVs."
