Customer Reviews for Sony XR-42A90K 42" BRAVIA XR OLED 4K HDR Smart TV with Google TV
Build quality appears to be very good, this model came with two remotes the smaller one being backlit. I used this one for the setup of the TV which was fairly straight forward with the possability to skip some options till later. Picture quality out of the box to me is stunning, have only altered a couple of settings to my taste. Turned off power saving mode and in standard picture mode turned brightness down to 40. The proccesor seems to do a great job in the background no matter what you are watching, unable to comment on gaming as not a gamer. Standard TV programs are upscaled very well, not had any issues as yet. Appears to be very good with sports and motion as some tv's I looked at caused me some motion problems, nothing so far with this TV. Thought it came with Freeview Play and Freesat TV guides but all I can find so far is Youview which for me is not very clear on screen, should have done more research. The old Panasonic we had, used Freeview and was very easy to understand and use, all depends on what your use to.
The sound quality for our room size is more than adequate and will not be needing a soundbar.
There are loads of options to adjust the sound and picture quality for your own preference though most are able to be left alone.
Have already had friends in and they are very impressed and considering this in a larger screen size.
Wish it had been cheaper but then im a Yorkshireman and it probably will be in a few months time.

However, the TV set is too thick, and the modified remote control is not so user friendly than before.
The electrical socket wire should be detachable.

Overall its a very good set , minor niggles , if you use the eARC out to an amp the tv mic doesn’t work to speak to , ridiculous as that is, and the manual refers to the risk of screen burn if films have black bars top and bottom , or logos etc , which I thought was now overcome when I bought it , otherwise it’s very impressive, I haven’t tried the speaker because I feed it through the amp.
All the major apps are there , but Apple is only Apple TV and not totally Apple TV+ on my set anyway , so I cannot make purchases through the tv but have to use the phone app to overcome this , perhaps a software update will come soon to properly upgrade this.
Otherwise very happy with this TV the picture on standard setting is pretty impressive, I’ve not risked playing with the advanced settings .

quality at its very best with a wonderful design picture and sound quality that are second to none.
The television is a perfect sensible size for the smaller room being the 42 inch model and looks beautiful switched on or off.
I would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful television to anyone that wants a superb quality television that is Sony at it’s very best and I absolutely love it.
