Sony is still the Best!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After doing my research on the diferrent options available for a TV in this size range, I decided on the Bravia XR A90K. I was replacing a 9 year old 50 inch Bravia whose Android OS had started rebooting increasingly at random. I wanted to try an OLED and though an LG was on sale for half the price of the Bravia, I’m just a Sony fanboy at heart. Paired it with an Apple TV 4K, that I purchased at the same time. I could not be any happier with my decision. With just a few tweaks on both of the items, think Picture:Custom, Color Space:DCI on the Sony and Content Match: Frame Rate and Dynamic Range on the Apple TV and bam PERFECT PICTURE! Calibrated the picture with my iPhone and no correction was needed. I will say that if this is your first OLED TV there will be a bit of an adjustment period. But once you get used to the infinite contrast and lack of artificial brightness you will be hooked. Sony and Apple are an unbeatable pair!!! Bravo!…or should I say BRAVIA!!!

A90k great tv some minor missing features
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded to A90k from the last model. The picture quality is a minor upgrade and not worth it alone. I needed this exact size tv for fitmint purposes and the old tv will be used elsewhere so the purchase was worth it. Pros- Great TV, fast response, works flawlessly with AV accesories, very decent speakers, Bravia Core streaming provides the best picture and sound delivery, refresh rate and gaming features. Cons- Menu system was better on the last model, USB power feature is not selectable and is always on, OLED does not allow for as many picture settings, No physical power or menu buttons on the tv, If the tv locks up you have to unplug it to reset this sucks for me as the tv is in a custome ent cntr and acces to the power is difficult. I feel my cons and rating are very high level and I would not hesitate to suggest this tv to anyone.

Wonderful contrast
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've traditionally hopped from cheap TV to cheap TV but recently decided to buy a more top of the line one. OLED is honestly amazing. Some gradients fading to black make it look like half of the TV is simply off--no washed out black from a backlight. Only problem with it is sometimes the remote will disconnect, so I have to pop out the batteries and reset it. A little annoying for something so expensive, but not the worst thing in the world. The image is unbeatable and the reason I bought the TV.

Great tv but Wifi can be an issue
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I been having this tv for 3 years and it’s probably the best tv i ever laid my eyes on. To watch regukar tv, movies and ps5 gaming its really too notch. Only problem is it will disconnect from the wifi time to time and it wont want to reconect unless hou unolug the tv which can be very annoying. Every 3-4 months it just wint connect to the wifi and aometimes just a reset does the trick but when it doesent I have to unplug the tv for 60 seconds and it works. Other than that its a superb tv!

Excellent in all respects
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So, I decided to cut the cord to satellite services. So I took the old 4K tv and made it my PC monitor. All reviews pointed to either the LG or This Sony TV blew me away. Once the setup was done, I had to do nothing to the color it was perfect. The sound was pretty good too. Worth every penny.

Great purchase
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this tv! I finally upgraded my 12 year old Samsung for this tv and it doesn’t disappoint. The color / true black is amazing, I love the smart tv interface, and it is awesome to game with it on my PS5. Very happy. My first experience with OLED and I can’t go back I will just add I don’t think the sound quality is great but I’m spoiled because I’ve had a sound bar for years and find most tv sound quality is mediocre at best

SONY GRAND CHAMPION COLOR TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I now am totally convinced that SONY is the finest TV AVAILABLE. I tried 2 other brands, Samsung and another. The picture on my new SONY is so much more superior and awesome than Samsung. No comparison truthfully. Also getting Google TV is already installed. Both Samsungs made it almost impossible to get and use Google TV. The options of so many free sites are endless on my Sony. I currently own 2 Sony’s and never to try another brand. NEVET‼️ The sale price I purchased my new Sony with, was unbelievable. What a pleasant experience and pleasure to experience this model Sony.

A90K is #1 for 48” class
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased an open box excellent a90k 48” after the holidays. With a Best Buy warranty for 925, after tax. Tv arrived with a box that looked in rough shape from shipping, I was skeptical. We removed the tv and hung it on the wall, it worked flawlessly and had zero signs of use or scratches. We were absolutely blown away by the clarity, color, and motion processing. Standard cable tv looked HD, Netflix, HBO/MAX, and Disney + looked better than blue ray movies used to. COD on PS5 felt within 1% as instantaneous as my 1ms monitor once calibrated in game mode. Sony finally nailed it. I had issues in the past with an a90J 65 and google assistant slowing down the OS on the Home Screen navigation menu. I left google assistant voice commands off, and am able to fly through the Home Screen or app menus with no lag while scrolling through movies titles or settings. For the past 20 years the price point has been the same for a high end TV while everything else has gone up 25-100%. Huge value for what I’ve received vs what I’ve paid. Well done Sony, well done Best Buy.

Great picture and sound without soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice picture and sound without a soundbar Documentation could be better. Once the quirks were worked out, like restarting when turned on, from doing a lot of searching in online forums, TV seems stable now. Love that it's a Google TV and added to Google Home. Also love that the stand is in the middle of the TV and not legs on the edges. A little pricey, but it is a Sony.

Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didnt want to mount a new TV (renting) and only had a very narrow fireplace ledge to place it on. The A90K was the only 4K 120hz TV that had a shallow enough stand depth to fit it. It was a little bit more money than I wanted to spend, but the quality is insane compared to my old insignia 1080p panel. Now, I probably didnt need to go OLED in order to be impressed with an upgrade from that, so your mileage may vary, but all told I’m glad i went with this option.

Dark Frozen SONY A90 screen!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased 48" A90 BB Excellent Open Box: Loved the deep black Blacks, vibrant, realistic Sony colors. Also tried the LG C4 which was better overall, but not close in color replications IMHO. Loved Sony's simple backlit remote as well! Returned Sony because: !. tv froze 2nd time, and had to unplug to unfreeze; !!. bubbles on display screen, that did not affect performance, but annoying just the same; !!!. chaotic app format... iv. not interested in talking with tech support right out the box; v. cannot figure out why tv 2022 model still?? vi. screen just TOO dark; Probably would have kept unit if not for the freezing issue.
