Great picture while it lasts
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great while it lasted. Picture was superb! But after 4 months got the dreaded blue line right down the middle. This is way too expensive of a TV for it that to happen already.

Posted .Hi TrevorZ,
We regret to hear that you are having issues with your Sony BRAVIA TV. This is definitely not the customer experience we want you to have.

The A90K supports the Apple TV app via the Google Play Store app: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00147386.

Incredible Detailed Picture, Bright wi Great Sound
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 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.

TV Watching Pleasure
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The TV set up quickly and is easily controlled with the remote control. It has great picture quality and the sound appears to come right out of the screen. The stand was just what we needed for our room location.

Posted .Hi GeraldB,
It’s a true pleasure to hear that the integrated design and performance of your new OLED television are providing such a high-quality experience in your home!
The "sound coming right out of the screen" effect you're noticing is made possible by our Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology, which uses specialized actuators to vibrate the entire panel, effectively turning the screen into a multi-channel speaker. This ensures that dialogue and sound effects are perfectly synchronized with the action on the OLED display. To support your specific room layout, we engineered the versatile two-way stand with a "Gravity Function" to keep the profile low or raise it to accommodate a soundbar. Driven by the Cognitive Processor XR, every frame is analyzed and cross-referenced to ensure that the incredible contrast and color of the OLED pixels are always optimized for the most lifelike picture possible.
Thank you for choosing Sony for your viewing space!
Regards,
Dominick
