It's astonishing
My first TV experience was a ten inch Bush TV watched the Coronation of The Queen the difference is astonishing to me that technology has moved so far I am still learning to drive the TV but sound and posture quality are superb

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.
Here by accident
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.

Great product
I bought this tv 2 weeks ago and it is brilliant, I had my old Sony tv for over 10yrs and the new one is such a massive improvement could not be more pleased and Blasons who supplied and fitted it were excellent,wouldn't buy anything but Sony and wouldn't buy from anywhere but Blasons

Love TV, don’t love screen burn, bought new Sony.
I’m happy at the moment, then screen burn comes later.

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?

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
Yes, if you connect headphones to the XR-48A90K it will automatically mute as the TV is designed to send audio to only one of the outputs at a time. However, sound can be output from both an audio system and the TV speakers at the same time using a digital optical cable. You can learn more here: https://cutt.ly/Nr7vmZ09...

Hi Banabelle,

Hi Banabelle,
No, the XR-48A90K doesn't necessarily need a soundbar. Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio technology implemented in this TV model is designed to deliver immersive sound directly from the screen. It creates a wide soundstage and can provide a satisfying audio experience without additional speakers. So, whether you need a soundbar or not, depends on your personal preferences and how much you value audio quality, if you're looking for a more powerful and immersive audio experience, you can check this link to learn more about the TV: https://cutt.ly/JeRnPSdK...

Hi Samjr, in our 2021 lineup, we didn't have a 48 Inch OLED TV. The main difference between the 2021 and the 2022 line up is going to be the introduction of the Bravia Cam as well as the Camera functions, also the new Voice remote control, this model has a built-in MIC switch and has Netflix calibrated mode. We recommend checking this link for the specifications and features: http://bit.ly/3XrYclo...
