Bought this in the Boxing Day sales, should have bought it earlier in the year for the World Cup, my mistake. Was concerned when unpacking that there was no plastic film to protect the screen, though it was well packaged in the box. Managed to do the unpacking and assembly on my own but would recommend getting another pair of hands.Build quality appears to be very good, this model came with two remotes the smaller one being backlit. I used this one for the setup of the TV which was fairly straight forward with the possability to skip some options till later. Picture quality out of the box to me is stunning, have only altered a couple of settings to my taste. Turned off power saving mode and in standard picture mode turned brightness down to 40.

Standard TV programs are upscaled very well, not had any issues as yet. Appears to be very good with sports and motion as some tv's I looked at caused me some motion problems, nothing so far with this TV. Thought it came with Freeview Play and Freesat TV guides but all I can find so far is Youview which for me is not very clear on screen, should have done more research. The old Panasonic we had, used Freeview and was very easy to understand and use, all depends on what your use to.The sound quality for our room size is more than adequate and will not be needing a soundbar.There are loads of options to adjust the sound and picture quality for your own preference though most are able to be left alone.Have already had friends in and they are very impressed and considering this in a larger screen size.Wish it had been cheaper but then im a Yorkshireman and it probably will be in a few months time.

We needed another TV after the old one (a gift) had developed bright spots. Hadn't really kept up with the latest TV innovations but had Sonys in the past and always found them very reliable. Turned out we had to go up at least one size as they've generally become so big now - only one company had one the same size as our old TV and comparing the picture quality it really wasn't a patch on this one or others in the same series.Considered going one size bigger for a small extra cost but it would have been far too big for our room. Had no idea about the Bravia Core offer that comes with this set, but it's really good - unlimited streaming of many films and 10 credits for other ones - some in IMAX mode..Both the picture and sound settings can easily be changed to ...

The dialogue mode is particularly useful for anyone (like me) who often has trouble figuring out what's being said these days - and if the worst comes to the worst you can always turn on the subtitles (quite handy for all the Star Wars stuff on Disney+).The initial set up took a little while but was very easy - fortunately the LAN connection was pretty easy as we already had a route to the Digibox. The various cables tidy away very neatly behind removable panels on the back of the TV and there are enough HDMI inputs for everything we need - including a very long one left coiled up for when we want to connect the laptop.If it is a while since you bought a new TV bear in mind that SCART has pretty much disappeared so you might need some additional SCART to HDMI converters for old VHS and DVD systems.So far very pleased with the purchase.

The image quality cannot be faulted. It is clear, crisp and detailed. Contrast range is immense and dark images are watchable, even in bright sunlight.However, as with many Sony products, its operation is non-intuitive. I think they have tried to simplify the remote control operation too much and as such they have made its operation for less technical people than myself (and I know my way around user manuals pretty well)… somewhat challenging! I know there is a lot of technology in modern devices but manufacturers must work out a way for people of all abilities to operate it. Let people design the user interface, not tech boffins who write the code behind it.Then there is post-initial-setup configuration. This is a complete nightmare. I thought I would let it do ...

Let people design the user interface, not tech boffins who write the code behind it.Then there is post-initial-setup configuration. This is a complete nightmare. I thought I would let it do its own basic initial setting up and then add my soundbar and TV input setup until after. Big mistake! This TV simply would not talk to my soundbar until after I did a factory reset. It now works fine but I was moments away from purchasing a new soundbar when someone suggested plugging it in during setup.THEN, there is the default actions. I am yet to work out how to select a different input at switch on after I had initially configured it for my BT box on HDMI 4. Sometimes it starts with this, sometimes it is Freeview but mostly it starts with the Google home screen. I am getting fed up with my wife yelling at me to change the input because she cannot see it on the screen. I have the behaviour set to “Last Input”, but it seems to behave like a magic 8-ball and choose a random input of its own choosing.The product is saved by the image quality; which is exceptional.The TV speakers are pretty good, but it does need a sound bar and woofer. If the TV speakers are pumped up or the base is set too high, the screen will start rattling. This has only happened once as I fear it will damage the OLED screen. But they are acceptable for standard TV watching.Great TV but poor operation.
If you are in the maket for a Great TV in 2022-23 look no further than the Sony XR A90K 4k HDR OLED. I shopped for a replacement for my 15 year old Pioneer Elite Plazma that was dying for 2 months. This is my main TV and one that I cherrished but all things pass. I almost settled on a cheaper brand because of cost and I have a lot of these type tvs in other parts of the house but, when I saw this I was quite impressed. First off this is the first time since those days where I could say that the blacks were as deep as plazma and the colors were very rich and vibrant! The only other TV that was in that league was the 48 inch LG OLED and was a tad cheaper but, the clincher was the sound on this thing. Again it was not typical of other TV's today that need to agument ... MoreIf you are in the maket for a Great TV in 2022-23 look no further than the Sony XR A90K 4k HDR OLED.

Again it was not typical of other TV's today that need to agument with a sound bar. You dont really need it. Maybe if it was in a bigger room but not in the Den. Its amazing! Even my wife was like " That sound is coming from the TV"? I was like YES it is! I mean there is so much about it I can't go into detail but what I also like is the flexability you have of the settings. Lots of tweaks that allow you to customize sound and Picture plus an auto setting for Netflix that will automatically set the tv to the best setup for what you are viewing. Ok now, lastly if you want to see and hear what I am talking about, I suggest a store like Best Buy that has a Magnolia room. You can really compare them and they have just about every brand out there. The reps working at the Best Buy I went to, really know their stuff and believe me I tested them. A purchase like this needs to be like buying any quality product and is not for online ordering and blind guessing. Save that for the $300 tv's and Under!
I wanted to add a TV to my office and having a Samsung Q series in my living room and LG in the bedroom thought I would check those out as both are excellent. My wife had strolled over to the tv viewing room and called me over to see this Sony BRAVIA. It looked like we were there on the mountains, cityscape, park etc. the picture was the best I had ever seen. The associate turned up the sound went through all the different choices, excellent sound from the tv. I decided to purchase this one and take it home, try it out. Once we got it home I was able to use my desk top swivel mount so now can easily swing to my viewing angle as needed. I have connected my Sony Playstation, Xbox and Switch. They all look great with amazing details on the Playstation and Xbox. In ...

They all look great with amazing details on the Playstation and Xbox. In different games just looking at detail on walls, trees, sky, water that I had never seen before on my Q series qled. Ive bought many a tv and they are almost all on demo mode at the store to show off what they can do. However, the same experience is usually lacking once home. However, this Sony BRAVIA is amazing with 4k viewing just like at the store, games that are beautiful and run silky smooth, excellent sound without the need for a soundbar. Now my wife wants to replace our Q series with the BRAVIA XR in an 83 inch...uh oh...Excellent TV Best Picture I have seen with brightness that equal my Q series qled. Recommended.
This is a high-quality panel but not so extraordinary that it should deserve the 'Master Series' reference. I have purchased high-end and flagship Sony TVs over 4 decades, and spent much money on professional tuning and calibrations, and the image quality of the A90K is not as amazing as many claim. The engine is quick and with almost every setting feature turned off, the A90K delivers acceptable video across the genres and video types. The faults and imperfections range from negligible to minimal across the various content thrown at it such as Netflix UHD, Sky UHD, Prime UHD, BBC iPlayer HD/SD, and from Android's Google cast to YouTube from 720p and 2160p.

Without getting technical and going into a deep dive, the price of the A90K 48in. and the expected performance of this Sony Master Series, leaves you quite underwhelmed. Pre-configured 'professional' panel settings should not demand a high price tag. There have been many LCD, LED and OLED previous panels from Sony which do a superb job at much reduced (prorated) cost point. Think carefully about the money if you are torn with other brands such as LG and Samsung. You may wish to push you money harder for increased size, more features or special offers which give you more for the A90K pricing. Lastly, Sony has removed cost from its panel it would seem. The build quality seems 'just good enough' and in a few places does look cheap. The Sony logo does not illuminate but first you have to find it (bottom, left side of bezel). Additionally, when the light hits the gun-metal bezel finish, it appear corrugated as if the panel was gently twisted, instead of a smooth, equal reflective finish. In short, the A90K may as well look like a supermarket brand, and you would be none the wiser. Come on Sony - you didn't give me an awful lot of 'premium' for the premium price you charged me!
I own an earlier version of this TV and bought this panel as a gift for for a friend's small studio apt. If you need a modest sized TV for a bedroom or small space and don't want a lot of fussy cords, sound bar, etc., then I think this is virtually a perfect TV. It has a discreet oval stand and 1/4" bezel for a super clean look. The screen vibrates to create the sound (and it's surprisingly good...), It handles room light reflections better than most TV's. The operating system has been upgraded since I bought mine and it's more streamlined as is the remote. The settings are easier to access, as well. If you mostly stream movies and TV shows this is an ideal TV. It does have a NextGen tuner for 4K broadcast signals, however, if you have access to a rooftop antenna. ...

It may not be the best set for gaming, overall, but those who do game will know which panels they favor. I've had my A90 for 18 months now and enjoy it more and more as time goes on; it's subtly seductive. I calibrated mine with Calman although I think Sony calibrates their top TV's at the factory; it was quite good right out of the box, with settings at less than 5% off the mark. It easily calibrated to within 1%, however, and is even more balanced. Highly recommended!
Lovely looking TV which comes with a solid stand you can adjust with 2 height settings which enables you to accommodate a soundbar under the TV without obstructing the screen. Great picture quality and impressive sound without the sound bar. Very crisp voices, would be nice to have a little more bass. Easy to navigate through all the settngs with ample choice of picture quality and sound preferences. However, a little disappointed with the picture quality when watching football matches. Tried all available picture settings to try to tweek it but the players from a distance appear no sharper than my previous 12 year Toshiba TV. Comes with 2 controllers, one which has a mic for verbal commands to your TV which looks and feels solid. It takes an eternity to set up all ...

It takes an eternity to set up all your apps but once you are up and running everything runs smoothly. I eventually managed to locate the microscopic power button on the upper left hand side of the TV which you have to hold down for a few seconds before the TV turns off and am not sure whether this is any different than using the off button on the controller, as the TV doesn't appear to have a standby light indicator. Lacks instructions with regards to initial setting up. Comes with two 1cm thick booklets, each approx contains 5 pages on safety and very basicsetting up, the rest of the book is in other languages. Would highly recommend the A90X, very pleased.
This is the first Sony product I have been disappointed by. It is let down by concerns over OLED panel longevity and extremely bad software. The issues are as follows.1.) The brightness is factory set to 100% although the picture brightness is okay in a low lighting environment it would not be in a sunlit room. It worries me that as the OLED efficacy falls with age it will become unwatchable. I asked Customer Service if this pre-setting was normal. They did not answer my question but sent me links to regular Help sections which were not useful at all.2.) The software is a mess. I initially opted to set up Google TV but the experience was so bad I had to reset to factory default 'set up basic TV.' Too much wrong with it to go into detail here. The basic TV ...

The basic TV operating software is appalling. One example is the subtitle setting. The assigned remote control button turns on the subtitles on but does not turn it off. There is no obvious way to do that and instructions to help cannot be found (by me at least.) Curiously when trying to do this a message appears at the top of the screen saying subtitles are not available for this service when they are in fact appearing at the bottom of the screen ! By chance a confusing combination brought an on screen selection panel up in an unexpected location which allowed me to turn them off. I've no idea how to repeat that so may avoid subtitles again.I served as a TV electronics design engineer during my career so have a little experience including a close association with Sony engineers with whom I have always had great respect for.
