107 cm (42") 01/10/2022 by Steamingbigman (United Kingdom)
What a picture, sound was excellent for the design, better than I expected although some reviews online don't seem to think so. Either their model had a fault or they expected way too much of an audio experience. Possibly every function you need in this modern age of media streaming. Bravo! Bravia.

Underwhelmed
107 cm (42") 13/10/2022 by VicTee (United Kingdom)
This is the first Sony product I have been disappointed by. It is let down by concerns over OLED panel longevity and extremely bad software. The issues are as follows. 1.) The brightness is factory set to 100% although the picture brightness is okay in a low lighting environment it would not be in a sunlit room. It worries me that as the OLED efficacy falls with age it will become unwatchable. I asked Customer Service if this pre-setting was normal. They did not answer my question but sent me links to regular Help sections which were not useful at all. 2.) The software is a mess. I initially opted to set up Google TV but the experience was so bad I had to reset to factory default 'set up basic TV.' Too much wrong with it to go into detail here. The basic TV operating software is appalling. One example is the subtitle setting. The assigned remote control button turns on the subtitles on but does not turn it off. There is no obvious way to do that and instructions to help cannot be found (by me at least.) Curiously when trying to do this a message appears at the top of the screen saying subtitles are not available for this service when they are in fact appearing at the bottom of the screen ! By chance a confusing combination brought an on screen selection panel up in an unexpected location which allowed me to turn them off. I've no idea how to repeat that so may avoid subtitles again. I served as a TV electronics design engineer during my career so have a little experience including a close association with Sony engineers with whom I have always had great respect for.

Far too complicated
107 cm (42") 04/12/2023 by Vibesman (United Kingdom)
I bought my A90K Bravia in store, using a £299 discount from John Lewis resulting from the in-warranty failure of a Samsung HD TV. Setting up the Bravia took several hours, mostly because even someone like me with a background in broadcasting and tech-savvy could not fathom some of the technical language used in the on-screen registration process. Scanning Freesat channels was especially bad because I did not understand the terminology which applied to my basic Freesat dish. I did not and still do not like the heavy hand of Google in the channel availability. But two things stand out as reducing my enjoyment of the set. The first was the discovery that the highly technical sound set up which has sound coming through the screen and relates to movement resulted in an effect in which off screen voices sound compressed to anyone wearing a hearing aid. (Me and daughter in law) although we determined that when a soundbar is used this does not happen...hence the purchase of a £200 Bose TV sound bar. The other problem, two weeks in, was the failure of the subtitles. After some intermittent problems I lost subtitles on all live transmissions (Inc BBC drama and BBC News). I returned the TV to the store where a Sony rep did a complete re-set restoring subtitles. I now finally have the sound right, and subtitles and a really good picture. But I can't say I am happy with the purchase. It is far too complicated in set up and in use. My wife, a technophobe, hasn't a clue how to find programmes other than those in the TV Guide. I DO like the low profile stand and the cable masks at the rear.

I've had this TV for a week now and I'm glad I went with this product..I'm not going to lie, I did have to have the tv replaced within the first 5 days of having it due to lines appearing (my retailer ran a test on the tv and it didn't show any faults..even though they could see the lines from the pictures I had taken). I had the tv replaced like for like. Again, I'm glad I chose this product over other competitors.

Picture quality is superb. Brightness can be a challenge depending on how bright the room is. I was able to adjust brightness and its OK for an OLED. The sound & loudness is good over all and can be adjusted to your needs. Screen casting works flawlessly on this A90k and picture quality remains solid. It is also a very fast while browsing apps or changing channels. Bottom line: This TV needs darker rooms or space to perform its colors and to be enjoyed.

SONY OLED XR-48A90K
121 cm (48”) 22/11/2023 by SonyRog (United Kingdom)
I purchased this TV from a well known store. Mega pleased with it, looks great, sounds great. Couldn't use it the first day I got it (Saturday) as it went into one of these never ending restart cycle loops. Technical support at JL were not helpful, their lack of knowledge was embarrassing, they wouldn't listen to my description of the problem, instead they decided what it was, and kept telling me over and over again to hold the on/off switch in - it doesn't have a press-in on/off switch but a sliding switch instead which you can't press. On the 5th repeated cycle they gave up and said they would need to send an engineer to carry out a repair that was 4 days later. A replacement wouldn't arrive until the follwoing Saturday. Overnight, I searched and trawled the internet, until finally. Folks this is so important this next bit and save you so much stress and time. When you first switch the TV on, it takes you through a setup procedure, mixed with Sony credentials and Google TV credentials. WARNING: The TV doesn't like hanging in the user login screen into google account (I didn't have one, so had to set one up on the laptop, whilst the TV was waiting) This is quite an innocent event - I wasn't doing anything wrong or being foolish. When I returned to the TV, screen timed out and then the TV went into this never ending reset loop and wouldn't come out of it) So, do you blame SONY TV or Google TV? You'd never guess it was Google TV that was causing the problem, so I tapped in GOOGLE TV ON SETUP LOOP - and hey presto - a proper reset procedure that worked!! With the TV ON: 1. Press Help Button 5 Times (slowly), the TV will then enter into the Contact & support Page 2. Press these buttons in the following order (fast): RED, 4,3,5,7,PLAY. 3. The TV will be rebooted and Factory data reset is performed automatically. 4. Redo the setup, this time I avoided Google TV, and set that up separately. Its was a shame that JL technical couldn't get their act into gear and also a great shame that SONY doesn't put this in their manuals. If Sony officials vet and read these reviews, perhaps they should include this procedure in their bumph, seriously, I am not kidding. Apart from this, we love the TV, it's more than we wanted, very impressed, my wife was very impressed with me for finding the info myself.

Unnatural picture
121 cm (48”) 22/11/2023 by Dave_L (United Kingdom)
I have had the tv for two weeks. Every evening I have to try to adjust the picture settings (of which there are many!) to get a natural picture. The picture is so dark, the colours are lurid and human faces have a slight yellow tinge. I just can't get a natural looking picture. My previous flatscreen panasonic tv which lasted 20 years had a natural looking picture straight out of the box and the picture settings never needed adjusting in all of the time I had it.This is very disappointing as I had high hopes for the new tv. It is also difficult to completely power off the tv by the main on/off button as the tv goes into standby and is able to be switched back on using the remote control proving that has not completely powered down

I bought this to replace my main TV and I am very impressed. The picture is fantastic, both in standard and HD. Movies are amazing and a huge step up from my previous tv. The sound is great for a flat tv, and I am not sure I even need to buy a separate soundbar. The remote and tv navigation are very easy to use and responsive, integrating all the various apps seamlessly into google TV. I am still learning all the various features. I have no regrets at all with my purchase and cannot recommend this TV highly enough.

121 cm (48”) 21/11/2023 by Why need a b nickname (United Kingdom)
This 48 inch Sony replaced a curved Samsung ..i already have similar Sony Bravia in another location ..unlike the 55inch one this 48inch was much easier to assemble as the stand was much more simple to put together..sounds a minor issue but with the 55 inch the guys from curry’s first time round were unable to fix the twin legs in the upright position and left and a second time came round a week later and they too were stressed by lack of proper instructions..but this set was easy and took just a few minutes ..and I assembled and set up this tv on my own.l adopted the same set up,routine with this 48 as per my 55 ..namely not to set it up as a google tv but just as a Sony one..as I gather from other people’s reviews of the 55 inch if set up under google format it’s a hassle every time,switching on as google come up..when people just want their tv programme..it’s one reason why I ditched Samsung ..they don’t give you any option as my old tv was switched to their own in house channel set up via an update and I was given no say in this and it’s irreversible..so,full marks to Sony.. As regards the quality of the tv..picture is excellent..sound is fine given flat screen..the remote is fine..it’s a very very user friendly tv functionally ..and I liked the first one so much I got,this too

Probably a fantastic television
121 cm (48”) 16/11/2023 by Fred2020 (United Kingdom)
Superb picture, fantastic sound. YouView is not as good as freeview plus, or even Freesat through the old box, but it does the basics okay. Main problem with it is the non existent operating instructions. One of the remotes doesn't exist on the Sony website, yet it is available for sale through Amazon, not even a button diagram for it. I couldn't figure out how you record to a usb until I plugged in some satellite cables at the back, which by the way according to the manuals online the television doesn't have. Then the onscreen menus changed to ask me if I wanted to set a reminder, or record the program I had selected. Before plugging the cables in it just offered the reminder alarm bit, and even though I have now removed the satellite cables I still have the menus. The help menus have more instructions on how to operate and set up the optional equipment which I haven't bought than the tv which I have actually purchased. The bits I have gleaned from hours of trawling through years of forums, has enhanced my appreciation of the product, but I would rather enjoy watching the television than spending hours trying to find out how to operate it. To those who say it's a television and they're all the same, I bought this set because it has lots of features the cheaper sets don't have and I would like to use them if I want to, if you don't want the features buy a cheaper set. Or buy this one and when you figure out how to access the features please let me know. There's lots of others much more technically minded on the forums that also want answers to what are basic questions about its operation who also would like to know, so they can help people like me out. It's my second Sony television the last one had a real instruction book and was great.

Phenomenal picture quality and super sound volume if needed, never experienced a TV anything like it, it even upscales non HD programmes.

Over complicated

We’ve had this for a month now and find it far too sophisticated and complicated. On at least two occasions while watching the tv the voice recognition system has cut in for no apparent reason. Also the tv plays a lot of programs in letter box format and we have no idea how to change the screen size to a more suitable format. Given everything new tvs can do it seems nobody can make a tv which fits the picture to the screen

I bought this TV to upgrade from an older Bravia and am most impressed. Picture quality great. Sound great, no need for a sound bar. Plenty of features which I am still going through. I can't fault it on anything plus I have a 5 year warranty.

Great TV, compact but mighty
107 cm (42") 28/10/2023 by Mintola (United Kingdom)
Bought this 42" a couple of weeks ago to replace an old Panasonic model which no longer supported even the Netflix app. Had a lot of sound (and persuasive!) advice from Logan at John Lewis in Cambridge all about OLED and its benefits. The screen really is magnificent and the TV is very slim in appearance despite having the 'larger' back for all the enhanced sound part. Took us 1 hour and a 20 minutes to get it set up (that's from taking it out of the box to installing all the apps and profile etc). Actually wasn't very difficult. Yet to use a lot of it but it is simple to use, even with the 2 remote controls.

I bought this tv 2 months ago it has all the features I wanted. It is a oled tv and my other 2 Sonys are led. I find the oled has a dark picture when the shows go to night time. It is hard to tell what is happening from the picture. I turned the tv to the vivid so the picture would be brighter.

Bravia XR TV
121 cm (48”) 21/10/2023 by M of Plymouth (United Kingdom)
Purchased several weeks ago, picture is excellent and sound is very good compare to previous Sony, but obviously not as good as 5.1 surround sound. Menus take some getting used to as there are three different TV Guides depending on the mode the TV is in, i.e. TV, TV recorder or You View TV. The big disappointment is the external USB recorder function. Not only does it only record one channel but not all of the recorded programs display a program title. This does not happen on my old Humax and Panasonic recorder products and makes it so annoying to use that I have given up using it and gone back to the older products.

Bravia A90K 42"
107 cm (42") 20/10/2023 by ChrisPy1 (United Kingdom)
We have had this for TV for approximately 6 weeks now. The picture quality is excellent and the audio is impressive for a TV without a sound bar. However, the Guides are disappointing. The standard guide is impossible to read from any distance on this smaller size of TV due to the small font and grey/white colour scheme which lacks contrast. The YouView guide is a little better but difficult to customise and I have yet to find a way of setting it as the default guide The screen format/width options could be improved with the addition of a zoom option that makes older programmes fill the screen without leaving black side-bars and the inherent danger of screen-burn. The user manual/help system leaves a lot to be desired but there are some useful customisations available if you manage to stumble across them.

Bought this tv a month ago for my Mom. It is exactly what I expected from Sony. The color is beautiful and natural on both cable and streaming. Audio is pretty good and adjusting settings is easy. Perfect size for small bedroom. The small remote takes a little getting use to for a senior adult. May have to get a universal remote for easier use for her. But, I’ve been a Sony owner for years and this TV didn’t disappoint and will last for a long time.
