Bit pricey .... But!

107 cm (42") 01 October 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 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.

Set up problem

107 cm (42") 08 September 2026 by Old Godger (United Kingdom)

Purchased from Sony Enfield Precint which has now closed. The staff member who delivered did not set it up properly. When I asked for set to be . .set up properly was told there would be a charge.When I reminded them of Sale of Goods Act theu agreed to return to put it right. The staff member corrected the colour but failed to connect me I Player and other features and left after saying I could do it myself after a brief demo.As I am 93 and not tech savvy I still am unable to to use all features of the setWish I had bought a Panasonic.

Super Sony

121 cm (48”) 22 August 2026 by Action 73 (United Kingdom)

Had to buy a New TV as there was a Lightning Strike in our Street which Blew TV'S up in our street & beyond, so i went to my Local Currys to Purchase a New 1, I wanted a Sony as I knew you can't really get Panasonic TV's anymore, I picked the Sony XR48A90K 48". I have to say, it is some Amazing piece of Kit, the picture is Pristine, brightness, colour, contrast is Top Notch 👌 the sound is mind blowing, the Acoustic Surface Audio is something special, it envelopes the room to a whole New Level, being a Google TV is also a Bonus as my digital library is at hand. Another Bonus was the Price, I picked it up on an offer for £1049.99, it retails usually at £1500. Overall the Sony XR48A90K is a Huge step up from my Panasonic 3D Full HD Plasma which was 13yrs old before it blew up. I'm well pleased with my New bit of Kit..

Excellent high quality TV for the smaller room

107 cm (42") 04 August 2026 by Abbeywell (United Kingdom)

Replaced an older 42" Panasonic. The OLED picture is excellent from all angles. Also the sound quality with the built in sub woofer is clear with good depth. We use both terrestrial and satellite and the tuner made set up very easy. Have also linked in Google TV which sits alongside the basic TV without any problems. Bought direct from Sony and unpacking single handed was not straightforward. However very pleased

Great integration and east set-up

121 cm (48”) 24 July 2026 by Polar89 (United Kingdom)

Bought to replace an older-model Sony Bravia HD TV. Overall very happy with the product especially the ease of integration with other devices (home cinema, PlayStation, Virgin Media box, etc.). Straightforward set-up and decent picture. Glad I have the home cinema as despite the claims, the built in sound is pretty weak.

Generally good and excellent sound

107 cm (42") 17 July 2026 by Alfonzo42 (United Kingdom)

Easy switch from previous Sony, good picture quality and I love the sound. The sound was so good we could get rid of our old soundbar so now the new TV installation is much simpler with fewer remotes. The new remote takes some getting used to as there are no numbers or coloured buttons so you have to discover new ways to find channels or red buttons so you features. The manual for the system is only a few pages and some features we had to work out using google searches and online videos. So the manual could be improved. Only slight grouse is that starting up from a full power down seems to take a long time with nothing appearing on the screen. Sony seems to assume you will always leave it in standby mode which we never do. Else all good so far.

My Nightmare

107 cm (42") 15 July 2026 by Rex255 (United Kingdom)

I am pleased with the TV now I have it set up. However the set up was a nightmare. I tried to do it with the Google app which then refused to receive a vital code that the TV sent. Then the app got stuck in a dead end so I asked Google AI for help. After a few questions and answers with no progress Google AI was very condemning of the Google Home App and Sony being unable to provide a set-up procedure the didn't require the help of a computer expert. After 45 minutes of getting nowhere Google AI finally offered to help me return the TV and buy one that worked. I took a break and thought I would ask Sony for help. They sent me a link to an external support system for which I had t o pay a £1 but then I found out I'd actually been signed up for ongoing membership of this help system for which I had to pay. I asked my question, the support was useless and I rapidly determined that I had paid to talk to a Chatbot that was more stupid, when it came to solving my setup problem, than Google AI. I felt totally cheated by Sony. I unsubscribed from the support and never want to use that help system again. I started from square one with the TV, deleted the useless Google app and set the TV up quite quickly and it works fine without the interference of a poorly designed Google Home app.

Exquisite TV

107 cm (42") 07 July 2026 by Here by accident (United Kingdom)

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.

Functional but needs attention

107 cm (42") 06 July 2026 by Acreville (United Kingdom)

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.
