Perfect TV for my smaller den
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect. I had a nice but older 55" Samsung TV and it was time to upgrade. I could have gone with a much less and much larger TV but decided to go with the best possible display.

Is it Heavy? Then it's expensive, put it down.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing Visual Quality but it's a bit complicated to use. I'd also rather NOT have all the built in google stuff. Very Heavy if you have any muscle issues or joint issues moving this thing will be a pain. Asks for way too much first time set up info as well be prepared to sit for a while. Assembling the stand was also annoying as the connection point to the tv has small areas on both sides where your hand might not fit, so screwing in the screws is difficult without a magnetic screwdriver to hold the screws. Doesn't play well with high end computers frequent screen tearing (using the hi-endy hdmi 3 port)

Happy with it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very good quality TV. Plenty of controls. It does want you to use Google TV but doesn't require it. I only run the TV in HD mode, but it will operate in 4k and 8k modes. it's fast - lights right up. I'm happy with it after a couple of months.

Perfect Size for Condo and Sonos System Enhances
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exceptional contrast and most true skin color rendition. I love Sony products. This unit replaced a 1080 Bravia. Works well with Sonos. However, I wish I would have investigated Bose. I believe Bose has better sound quality.

Great Smart TV
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Sony Bravia. Very delighted with this TV; the Smart features are really good. My wife and I can cycle between TV, NetFlix, Prime Video, etc. Took a few days to get used to all the added features, but it really works well!

Master Class TV XR A90K
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the last 13 years I had been using a 32 inch Sony Bravia tv. I decided I wanted to get a mid size and I took my time making a decision on my choice. Sony puts more love into their Master Class TV's so when the 48 inch XR90K went on sale for the black Friday/Cyber Monday sales I decided I would grab one. I'm not a gamer but I do enjoy a lot of sports and various shows. The picture and sound quality are out of this world fantastic. I cannot imagine a better tv. Sony really did their homework on this one. My experience at Best Buy was great. Sale went flawlessly.

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

Gorgeous video but too much going on
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful colors and awesome visual quality. Audio needs more base for me in all modes. It allows too many devices to have control so shuts off on its own and I have to find the device that did it.

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.
