Exquisite TV
Amazing TV! The picture and sound quality are exquisite, especially with UHD content. I haven’t had the chance to test every feature this TV has to offer yet, but watching UHD documentaries on it has been an absolute pleasure. For anyone who cares about exceptional picture quality and incredible sound, this TV is simply a must.

Functional but needs attention
The Bra is A90K is 2 + years old. Works OK but o/s gets corrupted, hence the default reset which gets rid of all software crap but has to be setup as a new TV which is an utter pain but the TV is operable again.

Outstanding TV at an Amazing Price
I've been watching the A90K for some time now and only have one issue. WHY DIDN'T I BUY EARLIER?? This TV is amazing value for money. The picture is razor sharp with every detail defined thanks to the OLED screen. Watching the World Cup '26 on it is like being there. The sound is amazing and creates a great atmosphere and the picture is perfect, especially when watching in UHD on BBC iPlayer. I have paired the TV with my old Sony Soundbar but will be investing in a newer model with 360 spacial mapping. I've heard this setup in the demo room and I was blown away. ONce more Sony you have hit the mark, but why don't you make more sub 50 inch high end TVs. There is a call for them; especially at Sony's high quality standards.

Realism at its Best
I didn't know tv technology has come so far and this Sony model really gave me a stunning awakening. I bought it during the 2026 World Cup tournament and the pictures and audio were so realistic I felt I was watching the football live! The sound when watching musicals and concerts really embarrassed my top end Naim hi-fi set up. What more could I want?

Sony XR--48A90K
Extremly good picture It does whhat it says in the Specification and Features. Easy to assemple and set up although no set up instructions in the box. Also no downloadable User Manual athough an extensive copy available on line but can not download a comple file. Can print off a version ( aprox 150 pages)if you can find the print version on lline. Its worth having to get the best settings. I understand the TV can diplay a version of the Users Manual but does not tell one how. Why cant Sony provide a USB stick with all the Opearators Manual and any other relevant information in ir. It would be such a small cost.

The best TV we have had in over 50 years.
Bought to replace a Sony fifteen year old Brava because my wife and I were both struggling with the sound although had no issue with the picture. The new model not only has a clearer picture but the sound options are superb. No need for a sound bar that we were expecting to have to buy together with a new TV. The salesman did not think we needed a sound bar & new tv and took the time to demonstrate both options in the shop to prove his point. Am glad he did!
