Great Sony OLED!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing OLED! I bought this because it said it was great for the PS5. Although it is great it wasn't what I was looking for. I like playing FPS games and this is not a a good TV for FPS games. It has a lag for FPS games but all the other games looked and played amazing. I ended up returning it and got a gaming monitor instead. I'd definitely buy this TV again just for regular use.

This is the one!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace a 15 year old Sony Bravia TV that served us well. The new tv is amazing and has a beautiful picture - a little too beautiful in fact. It's been driving me nuts - everything looked like that weird soap opera style. I was able to shut off MotionFlow and now it's absolutely perfect! We compared the Samsung when shopping and comparing the two side by side at the store - Sony blows the Samsung out of the water!

Great TV, user friendly interface
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good Sony quality, though for people not familiar with OLED, you may find the picture darker than what you expect in LED screens. I definitely spent time in the picture settings getting it the way I like it. The TV interface is very accessible, unlike other brands, and easy to navigate. I also use mine as a second monitor on my computer. I find it a tad large for that purpose but it was the smallest OLED TV I could find at the time.

Stunning Picture and Great Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What an absolute gorgeous display. Im using it as a PC monitor as well and i couldnt be happier with the image quality. The image upscaling is very impressive and gaming on it is perfect. It has auto HDR tone mapping for Playstation exclusives on PS5. Im glad i chose this over the LG, even though it was 200 more. The value for money is there, I got 10 free movies and 2 years of Bravia Core streaming included, plus i picked up Sony's additional warranty that covers the panel, including accidental damage.

Sony A90K
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried the LG C2 before getting the A90k and I love the A90k. The picture quality is better and everything feels more premium. I really Love the stand and the remote feels great to use. The interface is snappy and everything works great. It’s definitely worth the price. I’d recommend this one over the C2, Unless you only care about gaming features, in that case get the C2. Both work great for gaming though.

SONY knocks it out of the park
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Previously tried the LG CX 48” as a work and gaming monitor but it didn’t work out for me. While it had some great gaming features, the size was too big and the gradation wasn’t as good as my SONY X950H. Fast forward to 2022 and both SONY and LG announced 42”. It was a no brainer for me to go with the 42” A90K. Checks all the boxes for me and has SUPERB picture quality. The design and build are amazing, so you really feel that premium, “MASTER Series” vibe. So happy with this and you will be, too!
