Customers Say
The Sony A90K Bravia TV impresses with excellent picture quality, sound, and smart features. However, some users report issues with Bluetooth range, small text size on guides, and sound quality on live TV.

Great TV
We had an older television that took for ever , and usually failed , to get in to catch up tv so we missed so many shows we would liked to have seen. Your WiFi reception is too low. However , as the TV was quite old we decided to change and buy a new one - 42 inch. What a fantastic difference it has made. Instant access to catch up tv , good reception on all channels , sound is good and remote control understandable. When checking the tv guide the print is smaller than we are used to.

Great TV
We reviewed a lot of TVs but are VERY pleased that we have chosen the Sony A90K Bravia. Easy to navigate the controls, sound and picture quality are both excellent. Happy customer!

As stated above
Excellent once you have navigated the set up it is easy use. Picture and sound great.

Not the TV I thought it would be.....
What I'm not happy with: Bluetooth range is very poor compared to other (budget) TV's I've had. It cuts out once I leave the room despite having thin hollow walls in my house. Picture quality isn't anywhere near where I feel it should be. It isn't very sharp and there's way too much messing around to get the balance between the blacks and whites. It's too dark too so the brightness is set at max. I've checked online for guides and been on reddit for other users guides on picture quality set up but haven't found anything that makes me happy with the quality of the picture. I bought this TV as an upgrade and it's my first Sony TV, sadly it will be my last. The positives: It has Google TV built in so all my apps are in one place. No need for other devices such as fire sticks or extra remote controls. The TV looks slim and pleasing on the eye. There are a variety of ports including 2 x hdmi 2.1 which is great. I can't comment on the sound as I use a sound bar. That being said. I just wanted a TV that I could switch on, have a decent picture out of the box with maybe minor tweaking. My last TV was a budget hisense and the picture quality on that was miles better. I don't feel the TV is faulty, it's just nowhere near good enough for the price. The 2 stars are for the ports available on the TV, built in Google TV and how the TV looks in general. The loss of 3 stars is for the poor picture and Bluetooth quality.

Great tv
Great TV, easy to install and set up, replaced an older Sony and, sensibly, the connections are in similar places. Great pictures and sound. The old one had a button on the remote to select 4:3 picture ratio (I watch some material that needs it) this one still has the facility but buried in menus.

Great Sony TV
I bought this Sony TV at a slight discount during the 2025 Black Friday Sale, from my local retailer. So far it is proving to be an Excellent Purchase. It has an excellent picture quality and excellent sound. No complaints and would defined recommend it.

Just what we needed
I found the stand a little fiddly to set up and instructions could have been clearer. Setting up the TV itself however was a breeze. Firmware update and linking to my EE box and hub were painless. Once I’d studied the many sound and picture options the result is stunning
Stevees
Great picture and sound
Bought this TV 2 weeks ago. Fabulous picture and sound. Would be nice if it was a bit more up to date with its connections. It is also expensive compared to its competitors. But I believe it was worth the extra money. Only real disappointment is the stand. This could be better.

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...
