Not surprisingly, the TV is superb in every way. I'll let others confirm the picture quality...it lacks nothing. Rather, I'll refer to some other points that were important.
I didn't want to have to get a new soundbar right away, and as expected, the built-in speakers provide fairly loud, low-distortion sound with reasonable bass. For an apartment environment, this is good enough that no sound bar is needed, IMO. Please note I used a Best Buy wall mount that holds the TV very close to the wall, which helps overall bass response.
I've purchased most the brands, but the Bravia's are my favorite (this is #2). Many people will say they don't really see the differences between this-and-that 4K TV, and I certainly understand that TVs and technology are not everyone's passion. But, I certainly can see and appreciate the OLED-blacks, the even backlighting, and the lack of glare, compared to other sets. OLED color gamut and saturation can be almost too intense sometimes, but this Bravia XR is just about perfect. In honestly, for this price point of a 48", one might expert a nearly perfect TV. But, Sony gets it done.
Sony also makes remotes the way I like: backlit, with a 'raise-to-illuminate' feature. This 48" A90K does not have the full-size remote that came with my 55" Bravia, missing the number buttons, and a few others. On the other hand, it's quite a bit smaller in size, and still has the essentials. Fortunately, the remotes are available online for those who might want to upgrade.
I wish there were such a thing as a 51 or 52" TV. The 48" is just a teeny, weeny too small, but a 55" was definitely too big. I opted for slightly smaller, as a 48" at a given distance will appear sharper than a 55". I'd certainly purchase it all over again.

The picture is beautiful, the remote is seamless and so easy to use. Voice activation is excellent but putting the stand on took some time and so did set up. I would highly recommend! Love it and I have no regrets.

After doing my research on the diferrent options available for a TV in this size range, I decided on the Bravia XR A90K. I was replacing a 9 year old 50 inch Bravia whose Android OS had started rebooting increasingly at random. I wanted to try an OLED and though an LG was on sale for half the price of the Bravia, I’m just a Sony fanboy at heart. Paired it with an Apple TV 4K, that I purchased at the same time. I could not be any happier with my decision. With just a few tweaks on both of the items, think Picture:Custom, Color Space:DCI on the Sony and Content Match: Frame Rate and Dynamic Range on the Apple TV and bam PERFECT PICTURE! Calibrated the picture with my iPhone and no correction was needed. I will say that if this is your first OLED TV there will be a bit of an adjustment period. But once you get used to the infinite contrast and lack of artificial brightness you will be hooked. Sony and Apple are an unbeatable pair!!! Bravo!…or should I say BRAVIA!!!

Theres no better TV, then Sony, i own all 3 top brands, and while i love the color pop of Samsung while playing video games, theres no beating watching sports or the simple communication with a PS5, or the tvs own speaker quality, then Sony. If your looking for a well rounded, can do everything well and more. Buy yourself this OLED, you won’t regret it.

I purchased this to use as a PC monitor and TV for my home office. The setup was mostly easy save for a connection issue between the TV and the 3090TI. It turned out to be a firmware issue on EVGA's side and I sorted it by going back to the standard bios vs. the XOC version.
On to the TV...what an incredible beauty this thing is. It has the stunning picture quality Sony is known for, menus are responsive and easy to navigate, and the content available via Pluto TV, Disney+, ESPN, and Apple TV make it a winner. My only gripe is they don't have the Spectrum app.
Video editing in Premiere Pro 4k HDR is as awesome as it should be. Colors correction and grading are accurate and being able to edit in full 4k is helpful. The screen res is also right to give enough real estate.
Gaming is on another level. I've had multiple 1440p monitors from Alienware, Samsung Super Ultra Wide, and LG 32ins for iRacing. This one is by far the best. I have no lag enabling Gsync (it's not hardware-enabled, but works well in 120hz VRR mode) and COD/Destiny 2 have never looked better.
This is a winner!!

Excellent quality of the picture. We bought this as an open box item and Best Buy had it very well protected and was in like new shape. Service was great. Initially thought it only had one HDMI and no cable/antenna hookup but after a quick google search we found the back panel came off and there were all the hookups we would ever need. Very pleased with this purchase.

I went in Best Buy shopping for a replacement for my 10+ year old TV. The sales person was extremely knowledgeable about all the brands and explained the differences completely.

So, I decided to cut the cord to satellite services. So I took the old 4K tv and made it my PC monitor. All reviews pointed to either the LG or This Sony TV blew me away. Once the setup was done, I had to do nothing to the color it was perfect. The sound was pretty good too. Worth every penny.

A90K is #1 for 48” class

I purchased an open box excellent a90k 48” after the holidays. With a Best Buy warranty for 925, after tax. Tv arrived with a box that looked in rough shape from shipping, I was skeptical. We removed the tv and hung it on the wall, it worked flawlessly and had zero signs of use or scratches. We were absolutely blown away by the clarity, color, and motion processing.
Standard cable tv looked HD, Netflix, HBO/MAX, and Disney + looked better than blue ray movies used to. COD on PS5 felt within 1% as instantaneous as my 1ms monitor once calibrated in game mode. Sony finally nailed it.
I had issues in the past with an a90J 65 and google assistant slowing down the OS on the Home Screen navigation menu. I left google assistant voice commands off, and am able to fly through the Home Screen or app menus with no lag while scrolling through movies titles or settings. For the past 20 years the price point has been the same for a high end TV while everything else has gone up 25-100%. Huge value for what I’ve received vs what I’ve paid.
Well done Sony, well done Best Buy.

I been having this tv for 3 years and it’s probably the best tv i ever laid my eyes on. To watch regukar tv, movies and ps5 gaming its really too notch. Only problem is it will disconnect from the wifi time to time and it wont want to reconect unless hou unolug the tv which can be very annoying. Every 3-4 months it just wint connect to the wifi and aometimes just a reset does the trick but when it doesent I have to unplug the tv for 60 seconds and it works. Other than that its a superb tv!

Very nice picture and sound without a soundbar Documentation could be better. Once the quirks were worked out, like restarting when turned on, from doing a lot of searching in online forums, TV seems stable now. Love that it's a Google TV and added to Google Home. Also love that the stand is in the middle of the TV and not legs on the edges. A little pricey, but it is a Sony.

This OLED tv is awesome and smooth as can be. Very happy with the purchase. I’ve always been partial to Sony TV’s but this one really sets a high standard. Not only is the picture beautiful for gaming, streaming etc. but the operating system is super easy to use. Has all the streaming features you need, including Apple TV which is awesome. My last tv had a lot of options but Apple TV wasn’t one. Even the remote is great. It’s not complicated and you can easily program it to be a universal remote so you can forget about any clumsy cable remotes. Very well done Sony!

My second master series Sony Bravia. Originally purchased a 2022 A90J 65”, and was so happy, had to add a second one for the game room. Excellent and rated best over all tv on YouTube HDTV test. This successor to the a90j, is even better in quality. The construction of the body of the tv seems a bit cheaper compared to the previous models but all of it is hidden on the rear. The base and controller are beautiful in quality. I miss the YouTube button in the remote. It was removed to add Bravia core, which I do not use. Overall the best picture I have ever seen.
