About this deal

Simulating sound from the centre of the screen with two Sound Positioning Tweeters, two front facing speakers and an integrated subwoofer so sound follows action for a truly immersive experience. Retested 1080p VRR range to see if there were still the same issues with latest firmware, and changed the PS5 VRR test to 'Yes' because it supports it. The A90J gets great value out of its native 4K resolution, too. The impressive shadow detail in dark areas, subtle colour shading and extremely fine light control helps delineate every pixel of image information in a good 4K source. Sony continues to offer superb motion processing options too, enabling you to remove pretty much as much panel judder and motion blur as you feel comfortable with without having to worry about the processing throwing up unpleasant side effects. Left and right separation is surprisingly strong considering the screen is being used for most of the sound, and you can at times really hear how the Cognitive XR processing is working to enhance the sound effect placement. The effect is not as impressive as the XR’s picture processing is, but it’s certainly worthwhile.

Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market.

By default, Pure Stream setting is turned OFF and must be turned ON in BRAVIA CORE settings. BRAVIA CORE offers streaming between 30Mbps-80Mbps once user turns ON Pure Stream. To access Pure Stream at 30Mbps, user must have a minimum internet speed of 43Mbps over Wi-Fi. To access highest quality Pure Stream available at 80Mbps user must have minimum internet speed of 115Mbps over Wi-Fi. Subject to user’s network operator’s video streaming restrictions, BRAVIA CORE automatically selects the best bitrate as following with adaptive streaming functionality based on the internet speed available. The new XR processing doesn’t restrict its hefty brainpower to picture quality. It also joins forces with Sony’s Acoustic Surface technology, where the screen actually functions as the set’s speakers, to place sound effects more accurately, so that they have a more effective balance in the mix, and appear to be coming from the area of the screen that matches the position of the object making the sound. The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC.

If you’re looking at the A90J sitting flush to your desktop wondering how you might be able to add a soundbar if you decide the built-in sound system isn’t enough for you, the legs can be attached in such a way that they raise the screen up enough to fit a soundbar underneath. x 2,160 pixels. Game title supporting 4K/120fps required. Game title supporting VRR required. Results may vary depending on the game you're playing. If enabling VRR results in any unexpected visual effects, you can turn it off at any time. With XR Contrast Booster bright areas are brighter and dark areas darker, so no more details overwhelmed by shadow or lost in blown-out highlights. The Sony A90J has good HDR brightness, good enough to make bright highlights pop. However, there isn't much consistency across scenes with different luminance levels due to the TV's Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL). It performs similarly to the LG G1 OLED, but it's not as bright as the LG G2 OLED. Warming up the TV doesn't significantly impact the HDR brightness.

It’s well worth noting, too, that the heat dissipation ‘layer’ of the new A90J panel should mean you can enjoy the screen’s extra brightness without having to worry about it being any more susceptible to permanent image retention in areas of static image content, such as channel logos and game HUDs.We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for two months in our Accelerated Longevity Test. BBC’s Planet Earth II looks gorgeous on the A90J. Colors are vibrant and saturated while still looking natural, from the greens of leaves to the blues of water. The excellent contrast and color make the picture look downright lifelike. Fine details like fur and bark are crisp and clear, and can be easily discerned whether they’re in bright sunlight or dark shade. Two of the HDMI ports, at least, are made to the latest high bandwidth HDMI 2.1 standard, and support 4K in HDR at 120Hz, plus auto low latency mode gaming features. Frustratingly, though, as with previous Sony TVs, you can’t have Dolby Vision and 4K/120Hz at the same time. The HDMI set up menu give you an either/or situation, with HD 120Hz or 4K 60Hz being your only options with Dolby Vision active. With the Xbox Series X now rolling out Dolby Vision in games, including at 120fps, you're potentially missing out here. Remote design may differ depending on country. Interoperability and compatibility among Bluetooth® devices vary. We uploaded the initial brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test.

A front-facing subwoofer provides powerful bass and ensures you won't miss anything that's happening on screen. It competes with the G1 from LG and the Panasonic JZ1500 in those terms and offers excellent performance We are reviewing the 65-inch version of the Sony BRAVIA XR A90J, but the general performance should be the same for the other screen sizes. Having finally slipped into negative mode regarding the 65A90J’s pictures, I’d usually now take the opportunity to go into a few other problems. However, problems are pretty hard to find on Sony’s OLED flagship.The A90J supports HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) and Dolby Vision. There is no support for HDR10+ or Dolby Vision IQ. There are also movie based picture presets available for watching content as it was intended to be seen and these include the Custom mode, Netflix Calibrated mode for watching Netflix content and the IMAX Enhanced mode. There is no getting away from the fact that Sony believes the A90J is the best possible OLED TV for accurate to the standards movie watching - something I’ve been testing for a solid month. Dolby Vision content compatible with streaming services or compatible content device connected via HDMI input (sold separately). Google TV also provides access to Google Assistant. It lets you use voice commands to control compatible smart home devices (which includes virtually all major smart home brands at this point) and the TV itself, search for content to watch or listen to, and get general information like weather reports and sports scores. Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting.
