    We are very happy finally with our new TV. The sales associate misled us as to what the TV would be able to do. Once we had a follow up service call, everything was perfect.

    This Sony 42” A90K Oled tv has a great picture & is very sharp & clear. It’s brighter than many reviewers give it credit for & the colors are nicely saturated.I have it hooked up to a pioneer elite lx305 av receiver atmos set up so don’t use tv speakers. Very nice Oled tv but I sort of wished I had purchased the 48” version except for a space limitation I would have. Really pleased with this Sony tv.

    This is a great (relatively) small OLED TV or high end gaming monitor. I think the screen is exactly the right size for a small living room. The picture quality is excellent, sound is fine, easy to set up, frequent updates, etc. Highly recommended.

    Rock solid picture with precise upscaling. Excellent sound as well. OELED technology in a 42” tv is definitely worth the price. I had read that the one limitation was picture brightness, but this is definitely not the case. Also, the Sony was very easy to set up, and easy to customize in the days after installation. Apple TV, OPPO Blu-ray player, and McIntosh audio system all work well with this TV. Highly recommended!

    Bought a 55” Sony Bravia OLED for the living room last summer and wanted to upgrade the bedroom TV so bought the 42” Sony Bravia OLED. Was bigger than I wanted but had to go with the OLED version. The picture is awesome. Easy to use the apps for streaming. Bought the total tech package and they came out to mount it on the wall and set it up. They were on time and did a superb job. Everything went well.

    Great TV! Beware open box in”Excellent Condition”

    Great TV! My first OLED and it outperforms any other TV I’ve ever had. Not rated 5-stars because of the condition the TV was in on arrival. I purchased an Open Box rated as being “Excellent Condition”, but it was far from that! The box was in rough shape. When I opened it there were broken pieces of styrofoam inside, on both sides. There was no styrofoam over the top of the TV to protect it. The top of the screen was *separated* from the rear shell! I had to snap it back together! It must have taken quite a jolt to do that, likely on the sides where to styrofoam was broke up. There’s a noticeable scratch or gouge in the top middle of the TV frame. The TV had No Manual and no Warrant card, was supposed to have both (says so in ‘What’s in the box?). So I would say Fair Condition *at best*! Best Buy, you need to sell open box honestly. At least pack it properly and include the documentation. If the set was damaged by Federal Express (and I wouldn’t doubt it), you should have offered an immediate replacement. Speaking with Best Buy about the problems wasn’t helpful. They said to return it, but gave me no replacement option. Then and now an excellent condition open box for the same TV set is over $300 more which is excessive for open box. Buyer beware!

    Great OLED tv for gaming, streaming, audio visual and recording software like PreSonus Studio 1, Universal Control and ProTools. I also use it as a PC monitor, it's easy on the eyes. Everything is always sharp, crisp with stunning color. It's connected to a 5.1 system via optical cable, YouTube, Amazon Music, games sound great! Couldn't be happier! Buying 2 more for 2 or 3 display screen setup!!!

    The Sony Bravia is a great television. This is our second one and the first one lasted for almost ten years with no major difficulties. This one is a bit smaller but the picture and sound quality are both amazing. The picture is really bright and clear, It's easy to use with the harmony remote. The difference in size seems to have no negative effect,

    By far one of the best decisions I have made. I was on the fence between this tv and the C2 42" from LG. They both have pros and cons, however with the extra technology into the Sony to create a more realistic color representation, and the integrated calibrations for my Sony Ps5 it was the best choice. I use this as my home office screen as well as my gaming monitor. You will not regret making this purchase. My advice is to look at reviews from a visual perspective via Youtube and see the differences there are between the Sony and LG, because these two Makers are the ones that come up with the Oled technology being the top tiers in the market. My only con is the Sony A90k series only comes with 2x Hdmi 2.1 versus 4 on the LG C2. However, for the most part 2 hdmi 2.1 ports will suffice considering most individuals have one or the other when it comes to gaming consoles and the other ports still are compatible with 4k at 60hz and to be honest the Sony technology behind the Oled display truly makes the 60hz still look buttery smooth. My first Oled purchase and will certainly not be my last. Oled FTW!!

    I am giving the 42" Sony Bravia OLED 5 stars, even though I had to exchange it. The picture, contrast in colors (who knew there are so many shades of black!), sound, technology is BAR NONE. I highly recommend this TV IF .. you have a darker room. Unfortunately, when I set it up at home, it was just too dark a picture. I adjusted the brightness to it's highest level and still the natural light in my room won. The OLED is awesome for evening viewing (and I'm sure for gaming) so it was a tough decision to part with it! Best picture quality you can imagine. So, if you have a darker entertainment type room, don't even hesitate. And with Best Buy's generous return / exchange policy, they took good care of me when I had to return it and now I'm loving the 43" Samsung QLED. Which is absolutely perfect for my needs!
