      Hi Rgln,
      Thank you for reaching out to us. While we are glad you like the A90K TV, we're sorry to hear your difficulties with the supplied remote. The remote control of this TV has pause, rewind, and fast forward function. If you are inside an app/streaming app, rewind and fast forward can be controlled either pressing the left or right directional buttons and pause/play using the center button of the remote.

      However, we cannot guarantee if these buttons will also work if you're watching from another source/input device. Some sources/input devices will have a built-in fast forward or rewind option within the app.

      With regard to the LED indicator, this can be turned off on the TV settings. For more information, please refer to this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/tv/jusltn1/v1/en-003/08-13_03.html

    The Sony 42" BRAVIA 4K HDR OLED has exceptional clarity and picture quality. I really like the deep black color of the display. Sound quality of the TV is good, but I’ve noticed I need to turn up the sound higher on this set than my older 55” XBR set. The TV is in a small room so only using the built in speakers. But overall it’s a great TV.

    I bought it to use as a monitor but even though it has a pc mode it doesn’t behave like a mo monitor. It doesn’t have standby mode so it shuts off after a while so need to use remote to turn it on again. When watching videos it behaves like a tv but when using for web browsing it auto refreshes frequently making it blurry sometimes. Apparently can turn off with a service remote but it voids the warranty

      Hi JohnC, Thank you for your review of the A90K. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing while using the TV as a monitor. The A90K does have a PC mode designed to optimize the display for computer use. However, it appears that the standby mode and auto-refresh features are causing inconvenience. The TV does not have a traditional standby mode for PC use, which means it may turn off after a period of inactivity, requiring the remote to turn it back on. Additionally, the auto-refresh feature, which is intended to maintain image quality, might be causing the blurriness you mentioned during web browsing. We value your input and are committed to improving our products and user experience. If you have any further questions or need additional support, please reach out to our customer service team via email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:
