Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our new TV for our bedroom has a great picture and very clear sound quality. The Smart TV features allow us more viewing choices. Our salesperson (and I wish I could remember his name) helped us in every way (including using the sound booth) to make what has been a terrific purchase.

Love this TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't know where this TV has been my whole life but it is everything. The sound coming out of the screen, front facing is always everything. The colors and processing of this TV is amazing. You can tell it is a Master series. I was in store and the new year models was nice but not a 2022 Master series TV. Love Sony and my the love continue.

Sony Bravia A90K OLED 4K
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A solid TV overall. Full featured, plenty of settings and configurations available. Sleek, clean, and pretty. The remote control device is very premium. It looks and feels great. It has voice controls, and the Google OS is snappy and clean. My only complaint is that the Wired Ethernet port has a max bandwidth of 100Mbps. For a 4K TV, this does introduce lag and buffering. You could always use WiFi or connect with an Ethernet to USB adapter for faster connections, but on a premium expensive TV, they should not be skimping on a $2 upgrade. Unacceptable. All in all, a nice TV. Not sure it's worth upwards of $1000 USD, but not bad at all.

Posted .Thank you for your comprehensive and honest feedback on the XR-48A90K, Robert. We are honored to hear that you consider it a solid TV with a great, sleek design, and that you find the picture and sound quality to be amazing. We are also pleased that you appreciate the premium feel of the remote and the snappy performance of Google TV.
We also take your concern about the 100Mbps Ethernet port very seriously. We understand your frustration, and we want to acknowledge your point. While 100Mbps is more than sufficient for most streaming services' 4K content, we recognize that for users streaming high-bitrate media from a local network or using services with higher bandwidth requirements, this can be a limitation. We appreciate your technical insight and your suggestion for a solution. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and will be passed directly to our product development team as we strive to improve our products in the future.
We are truly heartened to learn that, despite this issue, you still consider it an all-around nice TV and the best one you've ever owned. Thank you again for choosing Sony and for providing us with such detailed feedback.
Best regards,
Gus

oled guru
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this as open box so price was great. Disappointed it came with missing terminal covers and mounting plate. As quoted by best buy as open box- excellent condition . Was able to find parts on eBay luckily- so all said still a great price and panel was 99 % perfect. Wanted this TV really to compare to the four LG Oled's I own: B6-65, C8-55, CX-48 and finally C2-42 which again I Love. So far it's hard to complain -all a great tv's. LG wins for panel sleekness and operating system. Sony maybe edges on slight pop and processing. In any case she's apart of the family now and looking forward to watching more content. Future TV at this point oled 77 G3 but waiting for 65 to run its course 6 years in and counting. She did get a new panel for burn in which Lg did not want to replace when Tech came over. Funny thing was the guy who made the decision was on FaceTime with tech and said he couldn't see the problem go figure. Terrible common sense decision in which you would think actual Tech would decide total scam. Eventually got unwatchable and the best buy warranty covered it with complete agreement. Hence always good to get the extra Best Buy warranty as they have always been great for me.

No so smart remote
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Several items about the remote control could be better. No previous channel. Slow if using the mouse to toggle from on station to another. You have to select the guide, then select the numbers butter then select each number. Always telling me low battries when brand new Duracell are installed
