Bit pricey .... But!

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 October 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.

A very high quality TV that fits on a wall mount
121 cm (48”) 06 June 2026 by FarmLane (United Kingdom)
Over the years we have bought Sony TV’s. Having just moved house we decided to replace an older TV bought in 2012. We have been very pleased with the purchase, the quality of the picture and the sound My only aspect, particularly for a person of a certain age, is that there are many options which we are accessing by trial and error rather than through an instruction book

Exceptional picture quality and natural image
121 cm (48”) 28 May 2026 by Burnhameister (United Kingdom)
I know this isn't the latest technology but like most Sony bravias, it’s exceptional. I can’t go bigger than this so works perfectly for me. The picture is outstanding and the os is fast. The image processing is so good, natural and isn’t vivid and shouty like other brands that probably look good in the shop but actually hurt your eyes after a while!
Simply an AMAZING piece of electronic wizardry !

This TRULY is THE most magnificent TV that we have ever owned , having now owned it for about a week , the quality of it absolutely exudes in everything we have watched , stunning clearer picture , stunning sound , zero motion blur , absolutely FANTASTIC colour , one could easily run out of superlatives describing the fantastic quality of this television ! There are actually not one but TWO TV controls , of the two , the metal one feels absolutely fantastic in the hand , the quality absolutely exudes in this TV in every department !So good , we are actually re-watching things to see just how much better they are with this television !

A fantastic Sony TV! With only a few minor issues.
107 cm (42") 27 May 2026 by Johnf80 (United Kingdom)
I bought this TV recently and I am super happy with it! I purchased it to use as a monitor and for console gaming and everything so far has been great! Picture, sound, operating system, setup, the stand, the remote are all top class. I am removing one star though for the following reasons. By now you’d think Sony would give a backlit remote with their TV’s or glow in the dark buttons. The other is the brightness is quite low compared to the equivalent 42” LG. But the most important and infuriating factor is that I have 2 Sony TV’s in the same area. This small one for gaming and PC use and the 65” for TV and movies. When turning on/off or operating either TV they come on at the same time etc. I have tired everything to change the remote user ID for this exact purpose bit Sony in all of their infinite wisdom has removed this option! What market your 42” tv to be also used as a gaming monitor if under this circumstance you have constant problems with both TV’s turning on off and going through settings at the same time. I have to unplug one or block the IR sensor to change the setting on the other before plugging it back in under the desk. A total nightmare.

We changed to the Sony and are so glad we did and could not be more pleased, we had a big problem with an LG OLED, Currys store staff did a great job in helping us to exchange. More money but at least we have a television that does the job as it should. Geoff Davies.

Purchased recently so far quite happy. The unit came with two remote controls it would be helpful to customers if some type of booklet came with the set to explain exactly what each remote does, also explain what each button does. I have relied to download instructions but the description does not match tge units I have.

It's a Television!
121 cm (48”) 20 May 2026 by TV comments (United Kingdom)
It is a television, what am I supposed to say. As with all modern telivisions I would prefer CH1 to be displayed when I press 1 on the remote or select TV as an input, not a menu requiring me to press another button to actually view the channel. The Apps. are standard. The operating system is ok. I dont need to be told what to watch with suggestions, I know my own viewing preferences. I do like the fact my old Sony remote still works with the new TV.

Missing Table Stand.
107 cm (42") 18 May 2026 by JDT 1 (United Kingdom)
After owning this tv for a month I am still waiting a table stand to be dispatched from Sony as when unpacking the tv it was not in the sealed box. Over 11 phone calls to SONY Customer Service and still no resolution to this issue. Having been a customer of SONY for over 40 years I am appalled at the lack of customer service and stream of excuses. The unresolved issue continues.

121 cm (48”) 28 April 2026 by DaveMacc (United Kingdom)
I've had the A90K for 3 weeks and find it superior to my old tv. Setting it up with external inputs is tricky even being a moderately tech savy person. HDMI randomly fails handshake as did attached soundbar. This is not TV fault more of the limits of the technology I'm told. This probably true when coupled to more than one hdmi input on my case 2 android devices. CoPilot was my saviour in fine tuning the set up which has educated me into the complexities of the connectivity of these devices. I have no hesitation of recommending this TV sound and picturr quality are outstanding. TV channel guide/tuner leave a lot to be desired when compared to modern front end IPTV apps and perhaps this is the difference that Google TV has put upon us. The Sony guide is the better choice from day 1 and clearly works, but if you're an avid TV viewer only (terrestial) you may be a little disappointed. Another disappointing think is having 2 different remotes without explanation one with coloured buttons and numeric pad the other is more streamlined with keys for Netflix, Disney, Prime Video... confusing having to shuffle remotes. Of course a third handpicked for the excellent HT2000 sound bar. To close without the soundbar this TV has excellent sound features my high frequency hearing is reducing and this TV can boost speech above the other sounds in a broadcast....outstanding.

Not enough memory.
121 cm (48”) 23 April 2026 by An de (United Kingdom)
Picture quality and performance in general is excellent - I’m puzzled why Sony didn’t give us enough memory to store more apps leaving us with apps that we don’t need but can’t uninstall to leave space for the ones we do want.
