Product Reviews

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.

Absolutely delighted with the TV and the theatre system .

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.

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.

It seems a bit too smart for us !!! Hopefully we will get used to using it.

The picture and sound are both excellent and a huge advancement on my old TV.

Very happy with the appearance and performance of this Sony TV. Both the picture quality and sound performance are exceptional.

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.

Would like a simple manual. In particular to know how to switch to Freesat.

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.

Very happy with the quality. Great all round sound.

Absolutely stunning Tv. I always buy Sony for their quality and reliability. The A90 pairs so well with my Ps5 Pro and has greatly enhanced gaming and immersion. Thank you Sony. A class act.

I have only just been able to put my TV up in my new home. I purchased the XR-42A90K. and I love it. Lovely clear picture and also love the remote - it's so heavy and robust and gives a real luxury feel. The TV is very easy to set up and easy to use the APPs too.

I bought this television a month ago and am enjoying the clarity on the screen

Bought this 3 weeks ago and knew the picture and sound quality would be good and it doesn't disappoint. That said the down sides are: 1) The remote is very small and hence so are the buttons. 2) The TV response to any buttons is slow.

This is a very good tv. The picture, sound and features are excellent. One aspect that falls short is the programme guide. The screen display is too small and can’t be easily read from a normal tv viewing distance, requiring you to move closer to the tv to read the text, and this is very annoying. Also the display is multi coloured which is distracting and confusing.

Not pleased with product. Does not revert to last channel when switching on even though set up to do so

Extremely pleased with new television. Wonderful picture and the first OLED to add to our Sony collection!

My partner bought one of these TV’s about a year ago and I just could not get over tge quality of the picture and sound. I finally went out and bought one for my own home so now it doesn’t matter where we stay we have top class viewing.

Only had it 4 days but very happy so far , still learning how to use it

This is by a long way the best television I have ever had.

Purchased from seven oaks sound and vision Solihull, one of their demos, easy to set up, stand parts missing, but between shop and Sony, sorted it out, quality is next to nothing, something that has been perfectly done and needs no alterations.
