Pictured instructions inaccurate
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried to setup yesterday following instructions which is not accurately seen in pictures. It took another day to figure out what the problem was. Placement of back base to wall mount is opposite of what is pictured to properly install into bracket. Took two persons many, many tries to figure correct placement and installation.

Big Mistake for TV Viewing Without a Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This model replaced a 13 yr old XBR with Sleep Timer Button on the remote. It is wall mounted in bedroom, cable box, no soundbar. Picture IS very good. But this is the first Sony TV in over 50 yrs that I did love from its first moment. I HATE it. It grates on me while lying in bed and it stays on all night. The broadcast stations sound worse than the cable stations. Installed by Geek Squad, went through complete install per Sony instruction. In spite, the sound is cheap, tinny, hollow and sounds like it is broadcasting inside a metal shipping container. Got even worse after many hours on phone with 3 different Sony tech reps at elevated level. They also could not get the Google Assistant to set up a sleep timer. Message is: "Sorry, I can't manage timers on this device." Per Assistant suggestion I downloaded Google Home app and added device to a 'home' - had no effect except that now Google is tagging even more of my private info. Other Google commands worked. My 5 mo old XR-77A80J does this perfectly without any special set up. Also, on startup screen, the bottom third of screen is covered by a function menu bar that I have to menu dive to find a way to get rid of, even though it is set to 'last used' screen for opening and no banners. The downsized remote had also has me menu diving for functions I have always taken for granted on a remote. Sony and Best Buy tech support knew my requirements/needs (sound/non-manual sleep timer/bedroom use) prior to purchase and assured me that the poor sound quality complaints were unfounded. The sound was supposed to be excellent after software updates included in install. Sony support never checked their own bulletins to fix the problems. I was surprised at all their lack of knowledge and inability to troubleshoot. This was elevated twice and the next level support was supposed to contact me to fix, but never did. The last tech told me the Assistant was not a Sony product and that I should call Google to fix it. If Sony can't support these 3rd party functions, then don't include them. Finally, he told me the A90K is designed to sit on a desk not more 3-4 feet from operator, not 6 feet away in a bedroom. I will be contacting Best Buy to make this right. It is shocking how Sony quality control and customer service has declined. I never considered Sony price because their tv's were always the gold standard. Sony: PLEASE PUT THE SLEEP TIMER BUTTON BACK ON REMOTES! Stupid to expect us to get out of bed, put on lights, find eyeglasses, search menus, now wide awake, for something that you used to press a button 2 or 3 times in the dark, roll over and it never let you down. All tv's had them. It's the GREEN thing to do to save energy!

TV freezes
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was really excited to purchase this, as the Sony Bravia OLEDs have been at the top of my list in terms of overall quality. Not sure if I received a faulty model but the TV would completely freeze while watching and I would have to unplug it to be able to use the TV again. Had to return and was nervous same issue would occur with a bew one. Hope Sony solves that problem

Broken... Twice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this TV, it worked great! Picture was awesome! Until it wasn't. It just died unexpectedly, took it in to get fixed. Couldn't get repaired but was able to get a second. This one lasted longer than 1 weeks but the same thing happened. Out of nowhere, red light started blinking and refused to turn on. This TV would be great ... If it actually worked for longer than a few weeks at a time.
