- Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2022I 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!
R.I.P !
at 3 am, in a very dark room, I stumbled and almost fell . . . this tv reached out and saved my life . . sacrificing its own !
Fortunately a Sony Bravia 8 stepped up to the task of providing us with psychological support and entertainment ! Everything we said about the last is true about the Bravia 8 PLUS !
- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2021Words 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Picture
Size: 65 inStyle: TV OnlyVerified PurchaseReally 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Purely amazing!
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best TV I have ever owned
Size: 65 inStyle: TV OnlyVerified PurchaseExpensive but worth it. Easy to set up and great picture and sound right out of the box.
- David PfohlReviewed in Canada on October 20, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!
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.
- SamWellsReviewed in Canada on July 8, 2021
4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful image, but high price and restricted smart features without a linked Google account
This TV combines brilliant image quality with a sleek design and surprisingly good speakers. Smart features are very limited without a Google account, and even with an account, there is no way to screen mirror except from Apple devices.
I’ll be installing this 55” TV in my living room, but currently have it set up in the basement to allow direct comparison with a significantly cheaper 70” HiSense R6 (70R6209) conventional LED TV. I’ll also compare to my parents LG C9 OLED TV.
UNBOXING AND ASSEMBLY
The only assembly required is the installation of the two legs (or a non-included VESA mount – this TV has 300mm x 300mm mounting pattern), plug in the power cord, and (once you’ve attached your inputs) clip the covers in place over the ports. Also included is a remote control, batteries, and manuals.
INPUTS
The power cord connects to the far right of the TV (when viewed from the seating area as if you were watching TV), near the bottom. All other inputs are split into two panels on the opposite side. On the left side panel is analogue center speaker input (can use the TV as a center speaker), an input for optional IR remote sensor, composite video in minijack, two USB ports supplying up to 500mA@5V, and HDMI in, and a mechanical button to disable the mic. On the lower panel are three HDMI inputs, a USB port supplying 900mA@5V, optical sound out (TOSlink), Ethernet port, a coax antenna connector, and an input for an apparently optional remote.
DIMENSIONS (55” MODEL)
The TV measures 48” wide x 27.75” high including bezels, and is 1.5” thick. With the two legs installed, the overall width becomes 50.25” and the legs stick out 5” from the front of the TV, and just over 5” from the back of the TV. According to the manual, the TV weighs 44.8 lbs. with the legs installed.
REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control has a brushed aluminum finish and backlights that turn on when it is moved. It also incorporates a microphone which can be used to calibrate the built-in speakers to optimize sound based on your seating position. Two AAA batteries are required and included.

Image quality is excellent – images are very sharp and contrast is exceptional – especially compared to my LED TV shown in the photos. As expected, blacks are very true. Viewing angle is almost 180degrees without noticeable colour distortion with the exception certain skin tones which appear slightly redder at extreme angles. For comparison, my LED TV looks almost bleached at extreme viewing angles, and blacks appear as greys. Although I wasn’t able to compare directly, I believe sharpness is similar between this A90J and an LG C9, however colours seem richer on this A90J.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality of the built-in speakers in this TV is exceptional – the best I’ve ever heard in a TV. My old LG LN5750 had great sound (though it is a thicker TV, allowing for larger speakers), but this A90J outperforms solidly. I like that the TV can be wired to act as a center speaker if used in a surround sound system.
SMART CONTROLS
This is by far my least favourite part of this TV. App choice is extremely limited without signing into a Google account (you can’t even install Plex!), and you can’t use the remote to calibrate sound. Once connected to a Google account, things improve, though I can’t figure out any way to stream/mirror to the TV unless you have an Apple device (I checked online Sony help and could only find it addressed on non-GoogleTV models). I much prefer LG’s menu layouts, and LG provides additional free content (i.e. streaming channels) without any setup required.
OVERALL
This TV offers exceptional picture and sound quality, but I struggle with the price. Compared to a similar-sized LG OLED (C1), this TV costs 50% more but I don’t think its performance justifies that price gap. I also don’t like the necessity of linking with a Google account to utilize most of the smart features. For these reasons, I’ve removed 1 star from my rating. Overall, I really like this TV but would recommend at least comparing with a lower-priced LG OLED before deciding.

I’ll be installing this 55” TV in my living room, but currently have it set up in the basement to allow direct comparison with a significantly cheaper 70” HiSense R6 (70R6209) conventional LED TV. I’ll also compare to my parents LG C9 OLED TV.
UNBOXING AND ASSEMBLY
The only assembly required is the installation of the two legs (or a non-included VESA mount – this TV has 300mm x 300mm mounting pattern), plug in the power cord, and (once you’ve attached your inputs) clip the covers in place over the ports. Also included is a remote control, batteries, and manuals.
INPUTS
The power cord connects to the far right of the TV (when viewed from the seating area as if you were watching TV), near the bottom. All other inputs are split into two panels on the opposite side. On the left side panel is analogue center speaker input (can use the TV as a center speaker), an input for optional IR remote sensor, composite video in minijack, two USB ports supplying up to 500mA@5V, and HDMI in, and a mechanical button to disable the mic. On the lower panel are three HDMI inputs, a USB port supplying 900mA@5V, optical sound out (TOSlink), Ethernet port, a coax antenna connector, and an input for an apparently optional remote.
DIMENSIONS (55” MODEL)
The TV measures 48” wide x 27.75” high including bezels, and is 1.5” thick. With the two legs installed, the overall width becomes 50.25” and the legs stick out 5” from the front of the TV, and just over 5” from the back of the TV. According to the manual, the TV weighs 44.8 lbs. with the legs installed.
REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control has a brushed aluminum finish and backlights that turn on when it is moved. It also incorporates a microphone which can be used to calibrate the built-in speakers to optimize sound based on your seating position. Two AAA batteries are required and included.
