SONY-The TRUE pioneers in television pict quality!
Ok… let's get this out of the way. Yes… it's a bit of an investment but as the saying goes, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! Picture quality is jaw dropping and I can honestly say I'm very happy my wife and I decided to make this purchase. We are both enjoying movie time and even just watching regular tv in a whole new light! In addition to the tv being in a league of its own I am equally impressed with the Google TV as well as the remote that comes with the Bravia. The remote easily pairs with your cable box and has pre built buttons for DISNEY, YOUTUBE, NETFLIX and PRIME VIDEO making it a VERY USER FRIENDLY TV UNIVERSAL REMOTE! Anyone on the fence not sure if your going to be making a wise purchase I can SAFELY say this Bravia Television has totally met and exceeded my expectations on what a TV can do!!! Picture quality - AMAZING Sound - EXCELLENT Google TV - VERY FRIENDLY USER INTERFACE Remote - TOP NOTCH Sony Customer for LIFE! Bill & Diana Queens, NY

Unacceptable product and customer service
Received this product broken with two large cracks across the screen and it wont even turn on. Things happen, but instead of Walmart doing anything respectable, they made me rebox the 71 lb lemon and drag it downstairs myself (yes by myself, despite knowing my postpartum wife cant help), offered me $25 off my next Walmart purchase of $45 (hooray!!), wont replace the TV because its out of stock (but available at many of their partners), and will take up to 3 weeks to refund my $4000 so I can then afford to buy another TV from somewhere else. There are many ways this could have gone better: 1) Sony making a more durable product (hesitating to buy this TV again despite the rave reviews), 2) Walmart offering some actual compensation (not a coupon code for another Walmart purchase, which I dont plan on making), 3) Walmart listening to my personal circumstances and having someone help me rebox and send the TV back, 4) Walmart using their connections and leverage to arrange a new TV to be shipped from one of their partners, and/or 5) Walmart providing a more reasonable refund timetable on this massive purchase so I can buy another TV sooner. I chatted with Walmart before buying this very expensive TV and was reassured that they would back my purchase, and they certainly did not. Walmart lost a very loyal customer, and an expensive TV purchase, in the process. Hope you also think twice before buying this Sony TV (or anything else) from Walmart.

    Outstanding TV
    This is absolutely the most beautiful tv I have seen or owned. I am so glad I chose this tv as it is outstanding in every aspect. As great as the picture is out of the box, there are so many ways to personalize the picture. The tv sound is very good but you will need a surround system to get the full effect. I included the HT- A9 Surround system and the results are incredible. Sony has never disappointed me in the 40+ years that I have been buying their products. You cannot go wrong with the A90J.

    Picture quality great. GoggleTV terrible
    I purchased 2 of these tv's primarily to use with a cable box. The setup via google TV was very long. The 2nd TV failed to setup as it said I had already logged in, but I had not. I had to call support as I got to a menu with no option to move forward or backwards requiring a secret restart sequence. The setup itself required a significant amount of time. On power on, the TV often went back to the streaming interface, though I told the TV to go to the where it was last. The streaming interface (aka GoogleTV) is horrible and not even close to an AppleTV. I've also seen that the security updates are only good for 5 years from the model date, so I will have to use an external stick in a few years, so there was no reason to even try the built-in streaming interface. I finally reset the TV to a factory setting and setup the tv without any streaming and now it's working great. If there are firmware updates to the tv processor, I can't get them in this mode but I had no other choice. I would not recommend this product to any senior as significant technology skills are required to use the tv

    High quality video image and sound and Googl Store
    Easy setup out of the box get you watching Tv quickly. Great features of tweaking sound and video setting to dial it in. I use a soundbar but sound from TV is very good. The big feature for me is Google Play Store alt of apps to install to make your TV viewing experience enjoyable. Dose a great job of recognizing Sony products Example DVD and Soundbar with no problems. The remote is way better then older models it lights up and compatible to Cable box's to control them, it did for mine.Very Happy with this Sony A90L OLED 65" TV

    Picture quality unsurpassed!
    Before purchasing, I thought it was too expensive. After six months of owning, I can now say it's the best money I've spent in quite awhile.

    Worth the money!
    I bought this TV in February. So far I had no issues. My friends and family like the sound and image quality. The picture stays true even from different angles. The remote control is silver colored and flat, which I love. Has direct buttons to YouTube which is my go to app. The google interface works well. I'm happy with my purchase and I really hope it lasts, seems like its a high quality TV and pricey.

    This TV is fantastic!
    We are just in awe every time we turn it on. I've had Bravia TVs for years. I have the 55” & 65” A8H series but want larger for newly refinished living room and this Master Series 83” did not disappoint. It is definitely the most expensive tv I've ever owned but would buy it again in a heartbeat.

    Brilliant
    As an adjective, the word "Brilliant" has many meanings. As for the Bravia XR Master Series this "Smart TV" is Radiant, Bright, Ingenious, Innovative, Creative, Vivid, Splendid, Impressive, Remarkable, Exceptional, Fabulous and Fantastic. This is the Rolls Royce of the TV's available today.

    Pricey but you get what you pay for !!!!!
    Color saturation, sound, ease of setup all better than reviews mentioned. Very flexible and remote far better than the crap LG puts out. Bought top line LG 77" OLED and took back in two weeks. The Sony OLED stomps other types into the weeds.

    Huge Upgrade
    I thought my 2013 top of the line 65" LG 4K set was fantastic. After it started to show failed led's, it was time to replace. The new Sony A90J is stunning. Being able to take advantage of HDR transformed the viewing experience and has become addictive. As a bonus, the user interface simplified switching between satellite TV and streaming. Very positive overall experience.

    Vertical line popped up after less than 2 months
    I bought this 65" XR90J high end tv expecting Sony quality & performance. Unfortunately brightness was/is a struggle, used Vivid to get the most of it, all the other settings didn't help. Then less than 2 months from purchasing it a vertical white line showed up on the right side of the screen triggering a replacement, what a hassle!

    Sony - Update the Remote
    The TV is nice, but the remote is terrible. It is basically the same remote that came with my first Sony HD TV from 2006. Sony, this is your flagship TV. Please update and simplify the remote for modern usage - where many of us are using streaming services for TV, instead of a cable box. In general, the remote is too long. There are too many buttons and they are too small. The navigation wheel is too subtle - give us larger arrows with a more decisive feel. The numbers at the top are unneeded by most users. The Pause/Play/Fast Forward buttons are tiny - we use this all the time in playing streaming content.

    Fantastic TV - Surpassed All Expectations
    I've had this TV since Christmas of this past year, 2021. Prior to getting it I read every review and comparison with other OLED tvs I could find. Every review I read ranked this superior to the LG OLEDs with respect to picture quality, brightness, etc. The only thing prior to getting the A90J which I was curious to discover was the aspect of brightness. All the review stated that this model was about 30 percent brighter than other OLEDs. That turned out to be totally true in my mind. The brightness is tremendous even in our family room with natural light coming in. The picture quality even for non 4k content is the best I've ever experienced and of course the 4k and hd will blow you away with the detail, sharpness and vivid color. In addition, in all my prior flat screen tvs, the sound was somewhat unbearable which is how they all normally are. This one sounds terrific with nice separation as well as bass reaponse. I have it connected to a very good sound system and don't even bother to use it in many instances. I've had many high end audio video products including multiple projector tvs, etc. and there is nothing I've seen that can compare with the Sony A90J series.

    Better than a plasma television
    We had a high end plasma TV that we loved. There was no led TV that even came close until now. Wow, we are amazed by the viewing experience. It is everything the reviews say it is. Sony hit it out of the ballpark. The colors the clarity, the sound. We have a surround sound system that we bought years ago that we haven't used yet. The sound is that good. We just love it.

    Beautiful Tv
    After months of looking at this TV, I finally decided to replace my Sony A1E with this beauty. Price was costly, but I'm loving this TV. Great remote control, the sound and features are awesome. The picture isn't just beautiful, but amazing as well.

    Great Screen
    I have had this T V for about a month. Everything worked great out of the box. Due to the legs being so far apart I had to get a new stand. Sound bar cut off once for no reason and had to restart T V but so far this is a one time occurrence. Picture is so much better than my 9 year old Samsung.

    Best Television I Have Ever Seen
    This is my second Sony Master Series TV. Purchased this 83” for my primary viewing area and moved the 65” purchased 3 years ago to the den. As a repeat customer, I am obviously happy with the product, but the XR83A90J has exceeded my expectations. This television is user friendly, yet classically sophisticated enough to satisfy any videophile. Thank you Sony for once again outdoing yourself!
