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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Even my wife said "oh wow!"
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I stepped up to this high dollar Sony and wished I'd done so long ago. 4K HDR on Youtube presents the most saturated colors I've ever seen. I worked in teleproduction for 45 years. I never saw colors like this or a truly black screen until now. Even my wife said "oh wow!" The LGs may be a tad brighter but in my cave that's not a concern.

Pleased with purchase!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our previous TV, which wasn’t that old, had a stand that wasn’t supportive. Our TV tipped over and cracked. Best Buy showed us several options in our budget and we settled on this one. The speakers and the stand were great selling points. There’s 5 built in speakers and a very stable stand. The picture quality is great. We are very pleased with our purchase and the assistance we received at Best Buy.

Perfect TV for small spaces
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own an earlier version of this TV and bought this panel as a gift for for a friend's small studio apt. If you need a modest sized TV for a bedroom or small space and don't want a lot of fussy cords, sound bar, etc., then I think this is virtually a perfect TV. It has a discreet oval stand and 1/4" bezel for a super clean look. The screen vibrates to create the sound (and it's surprisingly good...), It handles room light reflections better than most TV's. The operating system has been upgraded since I bought mine and it's more streamlined as is the remote. The settings are easier to access, as well. If you mostly stream movies and TV shows this is an ideal TV. It does have a NextGen tuner for 4K broadcast signals, however, if you have access to a rooftop antenna. It may not be the best set for gaming, overall, but those who do game will know which panels they favor. I've had my A90 for 18 months now and enjoy it more and more as time goes on; it's subtly seductive. I calibrated mine with Calman although I think Sony calibrates their top TV's at the factory; it was quite good right out of the box, with settings at less than 5% off the mark. It easily calibrated to within 1%, however, and is even more balanced. Highly recommended!

Excellent tv! I love it!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I finally decided to put a tv in the master bedroom! My husband couldn’t figure out the stand so we had a friend install it on the wall for us. It is a great size for a small/medium bedroom or smaller den/kitchen. It was easy to set up, (except the flat base)! The picture is sharp. The colors are vibrant. The sound is great! I don’t know why I waited all these years but it’s worth the wait. Thank you!
