Very happy
Love my new TV. A good size for a small London sitting room. Good sound quality, pleasing wide screen ratio is elegantly rectangular. Home page is well laid out and not too busy. Bought it to watch the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics so did the install myself. I am a non technical person and though the instructions are somewhat complicated I was able to work it out in the end. I definitely needed a second person to help lift the TV out of the box and on to the supports. So happy.

Good
I bought this tv for the main feature that the sound comes from the screen which helps with my hearing problem

Good quality
Bought this item just 2/3 weeks ago so early days but so far so good! Great picture, plenty of adjustment available. Good quality item with lots of features available. Also came with a 5 year warranty

Sony TV review
Had this television for about three weeks and very pleased with it

Excellent screen. A few user interface issues
In my opinion the screen visuals of the A90K are fantastic, top quality. Standard sound without external speakers is good too and can be tweaked with Sony's analyser and equaliser. I still use Freeview a lot and the electronic programme guide has some UI issues. For example, you cannot directly enter the "Movies" "News" etc subsections without first scrolling right to the top of the EPG screen which is poor. Also having browsed for say a film in the EPG which starts in 10 minutes, the "view" button is greyed out so you cannot go straight to the channel in anticipation of the film starting in ten minutes, you have to come out of that section of the EPG and manually find the channel. Stupid! It needs a "go to channel" button or "view" needs replacing with "go to". I don't like the way Google TV can be over bearing and invasive. I don't like that I unnecessarily have to go all in with Google TV to use some apps. I don't consider Google TV to be a positive feature of the TV. The mains lead is very short and fixed to the tv, which can cause some installation issues.

Great TV
Bought this tv 2 weeks ago having previously enjoyed several Sony tv’s before this one. Fairly easy to do basic set up to start watching tv. The user manual is easy to follow and allows you to make use of some or all of the many options available. Most of them are very useful and relevant for better enjoyment. The picture is of the high quality one might expect of a Sony OLED tv - with top notch broadcast quality output (not everything is up to that level sadly) the picture is stunning. Sound quality with sound bar support is also very good. Think I may in due course go the whole hog and buy a Theatre level sound system.

Excellent picture and sound
Excellent picture quality and clear sound. Only negative point is that (using FreeSat) it is not possible to pause live TV.

No Satellite Tuner
I bought the TV set 2 weeks ago the quality of the picture is very good however I am confused The technical specification suggests there is a satellite Tuner as well as a digital tv tuner I have plugged in my LNB but nothing comes up to tune to.

Good tv
Only had it 3 days but the picture and sound is very good. Easy to set up apps. 2 weeks in and really pleased with the tv, very clear picture, in my opinion don’t need a sound bar.

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,
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...
