Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful picture and sound! I always buy Sony because no other company can match their picture and sound. Sony is also an extremely reliable TV.
Date published: 2025-04-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Nice Upgrade The Sony Bravia XR A90K is a nice upgrade to our older Sony HD flat-panel television. Features included in it are clever, navigating endless menus is relatively easy, and initial set-up process is user-friendly. The stand on which it sits is exceptionally sturdy and does not easily slip out of place. This set's screen displays colors that are life-like and fresh, right out-of-the-box. However, there are MANY brightness, clarity, and color adjustments built-into this device, for owners that like to fine-tune the display to their own liking. There are two weak spots: (a) Absence of Component RCA Audio-Video Analog Input Jacks on the rear panel, and (b) A cut-rate bare-bones VERY BASIC remote control which LACKS some of the functions we were accustomed to using on previous Sony remote controls. The one redeeming value of the remote control is the intuitive backlighting contained inside of it---the backlight automatically turns itself on when the user picks up the remote control.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Set up directions lacked verbage Set up directions lacked verbiage and very difficult to follow with only pictures. Did not have words to tell what part goes where. Hubby invented new swear words putting it together! TV quality and sound are excellent. Perfect upgrade from our other Bravia that finally croaked after 18 years, yes 18 years!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great TV We bought this Sony TV after our 25 year old Sony TV died. We love Sony products. The Google TV is great. Great picture and sound. Love the interface with my phone and Google in general. Still learning what all it can do but so far so good

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better picture than I expected. I’ve only had this for a month but from watching cheers reruns through my Apple TV on the Sony XR a 90 the picture is amazing. I was so impressed that when I turned on my 4K Apple TV, the TV actually checked my HDMI cables with Apple TV and said I was able to receive Dolby Vision as well More than what I thought I would get. I thought I’d only get Atmos and 4K now I’m even getting Dolby Vision through my Pioneer elite receivers as well. Definitely recommend this to anybody who doesn’t need just for gaming but is really interested in a quality studio picture.
Date published: 2024-09-24
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product I purchased this product about a month ago and are pleased with the superior quality of the picture. The sound is very good as well. Telephone service support has been prompt and excellent. I regret it does not have any split screen capability (picture in picture or side by side). The remote could be enhanced with a number pad as opposed to the number button and subsequent laborious on screen number selection protocol. This TV has increased my viewing enjoyment and was a worthwhile purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love my new TV Best TV I will ever have. I am not a fan of the Google OS but you don't have to use it. Setup was easy and well designed.
Date published: 2024-08-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by from EXCEPTIONAL PICTURE! I wanted an OLED TV for a while and I wanted to be Sony, since we were using Sony TVs for decades and never have had complains with quality. Problem was, for where I need it there was many large options, but I could fit only something under 49 inch. This 48 inch OLED TV fit in it nicely. After installing and setting up all things and apps sat down and WOW! It's only one life and every day of it counts. Watching daily such a perfect picture justifies the money spent. If I had to do it again, I would in a heartbeat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent TV The new TV is a great piece of electronics, which is packed with useful features, both in software and hardware. I am pleased with every and each aspect of it; sound, video, reception, internet, apps, etc. I planned this purchase for a year, and my new TV meets my expectations.
Date published: 2024-06-18
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb We’ve had the TV for 3 weeks. We couldn’t be more pleased. All we want to do is watch it.
Date published: 2024-06-10
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Forced BUY (Last of its kind) I rarely give a perfect rating but times are changing and products are being discontinued without replacement. (I'm a SONY fan = all electronics are Sony) Buy while you can. Expensive but worthwhile. Sony mid-level TVs last me 10+ years (this OLED expected at 7 YEARS due to potential "burn in" risk) There will never be flagship 42/43 inch TVs anymore (Sony 2024 models start at 55 inches foreseen as permanent) Picture is great. Sound is the clearest I've ever heard for a TV (soundbar is still needed for movies) Only annoying thing is AAA battery must be NEW (used, and older batteries still work on older remotes BUT NOT THIS REMOTE) for the MSRP of remotes there should be a rechargeable battery with the AAA as an optional backup _____ Only dislike is NO 3.5mm audio out (can't use older SRSZR7 without a HDMI splitter eARC) also this should be marketed like EUROPE (5 year warranty and 2nd plastic remote with numbers) _____ Sony id pay more for smaller TVs. (43, 50 max = LED, OLED, MINI-LED) your picture processor are worth it. Also the DSEE is excellent but should be upgraded from HX to Extreme (DSEE Ultimate for soundbars, and ES RECEIVERS)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great picture quality!! I bought this to add to my Sony A90K collection. This makes #3.
Date published: 2024-04-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Full control over screen settings I have had this TV for over a year and it has been great. When I watch other people's TV, they are often far too bright for comfortable viewing and the brilliant whites are very hard on my eyes. I can fine-tune the brightness on this Sony and people have mentioned how much nicer it is to watch than their own screens.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Wife Loves it I was going to get a LG evo C but knew that Sony has the best sound - It was more expensive but it has 4 HMDI 2.1 ports. We are rewatching all our 4 k movies over again and the colors are awesome. Just wish their was a PS app that I could stream my ps 5

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hey, It’s SONY!! We have an in home cinema room and have avoided a tv in our main living area since I completed my custom build 7 years ago. Well, our third son is deployed and we wanted to share the holidays the best way possible! After reading reviews and ratings, which SONY always seems to at at the top or close, and recognizing our space requirements, I happily went with the A90K along with the SONY ATMOS sound system, SONY camera, and the SONY wireless headphones. Needless to say I’ve concluded the cinema room may get much less use. Brilliant colors, sound, ease of use, tied to Alexa, and conference app. We are empty nesters sat this point and feel like a teenager with a new toy again. Thank you for incredible engineering and class of design!
Date published: 2024-01-17
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the picture and sound With the OLED screen, the picture stays bright from all angles, and the sound is quite good. How they make the screen the speaker? Beats me, but it works! Operation is smooth and seamless, and it interfaces well with our variety of feeds (3 dvrs, Fire TV, and a computer).
Date published: 2024-01-12
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding picture quality and sound I replaced my older Sony BRAVIA 43" with this newer 2023 Sony BRAVIA 42" model. These the largest sizes that would fit in my entertainment center. Great picture quality and sound. When figured out add my Sony 5.1 entertainment center in the mix, sound was even better.
Date published: 2024-01-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by from OLEDs are from outer space! Lol. I bought my TV about 3 weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. The picture has settled down and looks great. I'm coming from a LED Sony x800h set and though I liked that set , there is no comparison to the OLED picture on the A90k. No buyers remorse here!
Date published: 2023-12-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Bravia! Very happy! My only concern is that i would like to know where is the power botton on the TV.
Date published: 2023-12-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great right out of the box Surprising sound quality. Haven’t hooked it up to an audio system yet and may not bother to do so. For a bedroom tv the sound quality is great!!!!
Date published: 2023-12-01
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautifully well made. Impecable image, sound is clear and amazing. Very easy to use. The remote control lights up the moment you touch it, very convenient in the dark when watching TV.

Does PC Richard deliver and set up tv

Asked by: Hawk137
Yes… BUT: additional charges if you want more than just removing the TV from packaging . Mounting and programming the set can be purchased as part of PC Richard’s installation options. I just had the unpack set and put it on my tabletop swivel stand( free). I did everything else myself.
