Sony A90J 55 Inch TV: BRAVIA XR OLED 4K Ultra HD Smart Google TV with Dolby Vision HDR and Alexa Compatibility XR55A90J- 2021 ModelwithSony HT-A3000

I expected a lot . . . I was still surprised with this ! The first one we got was an Amazon special no financing deal and didn’t function. The second one is better than we expected. The picture is wow ! The smart part is actually easy to use and quite wonderful ! The sound, while not audiophile, is very very remarkable ! This is part of our cable cutting project and we are very happy not buying cable tv . I would not hesitate buying this tv again, if I could afford it that is. This tv replaced a 55” Bravia we purchased in 2010, that tv works as good as new and was given to someone who really appreciates it.WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS TV !Addendum: it’s been a month or so with this tv . . it’s totally captivating with a picture that’s very much like sitting in front of a window and sound (we live in a senior apartment complex with neighbors that complain, a low volume level with this tv achieves realistic and satisfying event) that is almost unbelievable !I have one wish . . I wish I could turn it on in the morning with one action directly to the local station (on Hulu) that we prefer.I have one concern . . our preferred (Hulu) station has a lip sync problem and it is the only source that has the problem.Looking for a totally captivating and mesmerizing experience . . this tv is it ! ! !Be careful . . . we found that watching this tv is actually better than getting out to reality 🤭Sincerely . . . a lot more could be said in favor of this device . . . it deserves all the ranting and raving I could produce . . . this IS the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow !Addendum 1/1/2023 - we went to the theatre, yesterday, to see the new avatar movie. The surround sound was bodacious, however, the picture and sound would have been more enjoyable at home with this Sony TV . . . it’s that impressive . . .Addendum 1/10/2023 - still enjoying wonderful ! It appears that Sony and Alexa have a strained relationship . . . Alexa can usually turn the Sony off but only occasionally can Alexa turn the Sony on . Trying to navigate to Hulu with Alexa is impossible . I love the Sony and the Alexa . . . I just wish they would communicate . All in all . . . if your looking for a better tv . . . nobody makes it !The last addendum 🤭 . . We have become hooked on a tv series from Netflix “Longmire”. The cinematography is never before beautifully realistic while the sound is not just captivating . . it’s seductive ! Before we installed this tv , I scoffed at the idea of “2 inch sub woofers”! Well . . . I’ve learned my lesson , this tv provides a stunning, if not mesmerizing , event . . . time after time !On parting . . . if Hulu would simplify “user accounts” bypassing the need to select a specific one EVERY TIME ! Alexa might be a better control device.A year in review . . . We would never go back! This TV has changed our lives! The overall impression is amazing and keeps pleasing. This TV has virtually replaced the movie theater! The picture is much better, the sound has all the impact without the ear/hearing damaging obnoxiously loud overkill of the theater. Control and navigating of features and program options is manageable . . . no complaint!Hulu is more than a suitable replacement for cable tv!Are you hesitant? So were we . . . with a year of this behind us . . . we are still surprised, pleased, captivated and, at times stunned even after a year!

Words cannot describe how glad I am with purchasing the Sony A90J TV. This is the first time I have purchased a tv this expensive and I didn't want to buy one that I would regret later on. From the moment I opened the box and set the TV, I have been completely satisfied. The picture quality is phenomenal, the sound quality is fantastic, and the user interface is extremely smooth.1. Picture: Picture quality is vivid and provides details that were missed or easily looked over when watching on an older tv. As a part of Sony's Master Series, all TVs are professionally calibrated prior to leaving the factory. This prevents the owner from wasting time trying to perfect the image quality. With the use of new computer processing, the TV has the ability to adjust itself according to the lighting atmosphere at the moment it is being viewed. OLED makes a world of difference when viewing content. Whites are whiter and blacks are deeper, without losing the ability to see everything else happening.2. Sound: The audio produced from this tv has the ability to provide the quality of sound in comparison to a 5.1 sound system. Previously I had a premium 3.1.2 sound bar w/ a subwoofer connected to my older TV and I thought it produced amazing sound. Once I heard the sound quality on this TV, there was no way I could replace it with my sound bar. With the computer programming, it has the capability of monitoring the sound in the room and adjusting it according to where you are sitting. I find myself having to turn down the volume when my kids are sleeping, so they aren't awoken by the action or suspenseful scenes in a movie.3. User Interface: I have to point first and foremost, the smoothness transition from app to app or when scrolling through different contents is far superb from all other TVs. I find myself hating when I am using my other TVs because of how sluggish they are. When setting up the TV to add all of the apps I have access to, I initially found myself feeling as if it was a little more complex than it truly is. After scrolling through, I was able to navigate effortlessly, without any complications.4. Casting: I have used Google's Chromecast Dongles in the past and they were always problematic with remaining connected. The casting feature on the TV works without any issues and remains stable throughout its connection.With over 2 weeks of use, I am impressed and happy with the purchase of the Sony A90J 55 Inch TV. I will periodically return and provide an update to the overall use. If you are on the fence about this TV, I recommend researching this TV among others within its class and then make your decision. If you are still interested in this TV, I can say without a doubt you will be satisfied with your purchase.

People, the Sony A90J borders on perfection. This is my third Sony TV I have purchased from Amazon and the fourth Sony TV I have owned.The first one I purchased from Amazon was a Bravia XBR HD in 2001. My in-laws currently have that TV and the picture still looks good. Yes, Sony TVs generally cost more than the other brands but it’s worth paying a premium price for a TV that has not only excellent picture quality and sound quality but also reliability and longevity.Many reviewers suggest using the custom setting for the picture mode, but in this mode through my eyes the colors look dull. I like the vivid mode, in this mode the colors are more vibrant and life like. For example, watching the Netflix movie “All Quiet On The Western Front” feels like I was standing there as a spectator. That’s how amazing the picture quality is and yes, the sound quality is also amazing too.You want another reason why you should purchase this TV? The price! Because this model is a 2021 the price has been heavily marked down by Amazon. In case your wondering, no, the TV was not manufactured in 2021 The year 2021 is when the model first became available. For example, my Sony A90J TV was manufactured in September, 2022.I say, if you can afford this TV go for it. You’ll be happy you did.

The picture quality is the sole reason I purchased this TV. It is truly impressive, especially in dark scenes. I also appreciate that it is generally fast to navigate the menus and I rarely experience lag.The majority of content I consume is via PC connected to this TV. It's been two years since my purchase and I do have image burn at the top from my taskbar always being in the same spot. It's an OLED issue and likely could have been avoided had I been more diligent. I would purchase it again.

Really expensive but it is a great TV. Ran the Youtube videos to detect 'dirty screen' issues and it passed with flying colours; set-up was a breeze, and it delivers a great picture without seeming to need professional calibration. It also seamlessly linked up to my other equipment. It does have one small issue though - it seems to have a pretty horrible file manager that is as slow as molasses when you try to access the contents of external hard drives plugged into it via the USB ports.Follow on note re USB connection and file manager. I contacted Sony re the problem and they thought that it was because the HD was not formatted for FAT32. THIS WAS NOT THE ISSUE! The problem seems to be that the default Media Player for the Smart TV (Google?Sony?) can not read my type of MP4 files. I installed another (free) Media Player app from the TV's App Store/Library and it was able to read and play my files without a problem.

Ready to go right out of the box, very little picture tweaking required. Switches from cable to streaming platform and back very quickly. One very small complaint: plugging into the headphone jack should not automatically disable the speakers.

This TV is fantastic. Image quality is superb. Great brightness and contrast. Come pretty calibrated out-of-the-box (use the Custom picture mode).It also sounds very very good for both movies and even music.Google TV is great and fast. Easy to setup.Overall, very very satisfied.

Expensive but worth it. Easy to set up and great picture and sound right out of the box.

Wanted to get a OLED for my new house and decided on the A90J. I know that LED can get brighter and still own a KS8000 but wanted to give OLED a go and no regrets. The A90J gets bright and stays that way in a room with plenty of sunlight!
