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!

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!

Easy Peasy set up
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.GREAT PICTURE. This Sony Bravia was so easy to set up by yourself. This is our first smart TV and it and was simple to follow the directions It gave. It had to fit in existing cabinet and it did with 1/2" to spare . Perfect for us.

Bravo Bravia
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It replaces an older, smaller Bravia. Couldn't risk other brands that were less expensive. You get what you pay for. Even better than the older one! Very nice all around - picture, sound, size, ease of remote operation. Slightly disappointed I could not easily connect older components, but technology changes. I was able to adapt them!!!

I wish this came in a 77''!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Literally the best image quality you can find on a tv. The quantum dots make each color so vibrant, the image processing so lifelike that the image really does POP, despite how cliche' that sounds. I use this as my computer monitor, and it knocks it out of the park.

Sony OLED for the win

Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 48” ended up being a perfect increase in size from my viewing distance. The improvement and resolution are superior to the LED. I had if you’re looking for a midsize OLED with top notch visuals I can’t recommend this TV anymore strongly.

High quality crisp color on the Sony Bravia

Set up was quite easy... the TV is so smart it almost sets up itself. Love the fact that we can hook in with our bluetooth headset. The color crispness is amazing compared to our other TV.... very high quality picture. So easy to jump from cable TV to Streaming.

Don’t know what you’re looking for here.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture quality is very good, but maneuvering between channels and programs is a bit slow and cumbersome. Switching to a universal remote helped, but I still think the original remote should be more versatile …without having to go through so many clicks to get where you’re going.

Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I chose this TV in part because of its great review on the rtings website but also because it uses the Google TV operating system. The picture quality is excellent. The Google TV back end is slick. The built in speakers are adequate but I did add a Sonos soundbar. I even like the TV remote. I also like the stand which is much better than the "V" legs that most TV's come with. It can be low as shown in the pictures or extensions added to raise it above a typical soundbar.

Out of the box greatness
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has the best OLED out there. Period. The A90k looks phenomenal out of the box. I compared this to an LG C2 and although the LG is good, the Sony has the out of the box picture you don't need to fuss with to make look amazing. The tonal range was great. I could see detail in the Sony in dark images that could not be viewed on the LG without turning down brightness and contrast. The Android OS is simple and straightforward. Sony's weakness used to be their operating system but that is no longer an issue and I actually prefer their system to LG, which is a huge surprise because I used to prefer it over Sony and Samsung. Motion is smooth and fluid. I thought the LG would edge out the Sony in terms of motion but they were equally great. LG may have an edge if you are considering using a TV as a PC monitor. The acoustic panel behind the screen is also a plus for me. I didn't know what kind of difference having the sound coming directly out of the screen would make but it is hard to listen to content from any other TV now! Overall, the Sony A90K is the best Oled TV you can buy right now for a great, effortless out of the box image.

Swell Sony
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic TV. Sure it has a great picture but great sound as well. I have had sound bars that do not sound as good. Unbelievable bass notes for a TV. Pure blacks and brilliant whites, might need sunglasses. Even images so dark as to be washed black on other screens are defined and clear. Motion is seamless. I use as a desktop monitor also and text is sharp and clear.
