Sony A90K OLED TV: Unboxing + First Impressions

[@neiltaylor6645]

I remember when a 42’’ tv was the size of trunk and weighed a ton how technology has changed

[@SpawnPoiint]

Haha yes I agree

[@WhatTheFragrance]

@@SpawnPoiint would like to hear your thoughts on picture quality compared to the Panasonic 42 inch oled. In the shop Sony Panasonic and lg oled all look really good but hard to tell which one to choose

[@yoshikigrg8]

When 42 inch tv felt like a giant size tv back then.

YES!! This is EXACTLY the TV I wanted someone to do a review of, but nobody on KZbin was doing so, at least not the 42” variant. Thank you, SpawnPoiint! I finally feel confident in buying one because of you!! :)

[@herbysylvestre1421]

With this being a 42', I could imagine the pixel density on this is incredible, leading to some next level depth frome the picture.

[@SpawnPoiint]

The picture quality is very good on this

[@Gingerbread657]

Skibidi dop dop

[@KissofDeath63]

well,42 inch is the perfect size for 4k,thats why the pixel density is very good

[@George.did9.11]

When I was 12 I had a 20 inch THICC tv fall on me and it broke my hand

[@roofis8121]

I got 42'' 4k samsung tv but only with hdr no oled, despite that pixel density is just right sharp enough and not too smooth like for example some 24'' 1440p monitor have.

[@TheKitsune1983]

I've had this for a couple months and it's been incredible. Playing games, especially PS5 games, has been amazing. Incredible TV and if you're patient you can get a solid deal on it. Plus all the free movies you get with it, just make it an even better deal.

Excellent review Spawn as always.

[@SpawnPoiint]

I appreciate that, thank you 🙏

[@vaj-1613]

I personally bought this tv and I agree with everything you’ve said. I chose this one over the LG mainly due to it processor which has slightly better upscaling and better overall image quality thanks to it. I’ve got to it attached a Sonos beam sound bar with sub mini and it elevates the sound performance (especially for music) and thus a better experience. Furthermore, I personally don’t find of a problem not having support for 1440p as only have a ps5 and a Apple TV which is more than enough to get the most out of the tv. Finally, regarding the feature of a game dashboard that competitors like the LG and Samsung have, I do believe that this will be implemented later this year with a software update, but correct me if I’m wrong. I’m really happy with my purchase and I can’t complain about anything tbh. 😃 Love all of your contentm keep up that great work!! ❤

[@darrenbaker3195]

I completely agree with you. This Tv is superb 👌

[@AP-hn8wd]

If you’re in the US and size doesn’t matter to you, the 55” A90J is on sale for $999 right now at Best Buy as of this post. It’s $2-300 cheaper than the 42”/48” A90K and better especially with a heat sink, better speakers, and size to name a few. Insane deal. A90K might be the successor by model name but A90J is spec’ed better overall.

[@kilroy4103]

I got the 48" back in December and love it so far..

[@Noahblitz378]

why do I find you voice so soothing to listen too

[@aettic]

I got a 48" version of the a90k and it's fantastic in every area that matters to me (mostly PS5 and some light TV / movies). Personally I don't like the Google TV interface because it displays advertisements on the home page. I booted my brand new TV up and it was showing me ads for fast food. No thanks... I ended up going with an Apple TV instead, which has been fantastic, and hasn't had any ads on the home page. The colors on this TV are so incredible, and I was shocked to see just how much better it is at displaying HDR compared to my supposedly HDR Samsung 28" 4K monitor. It might be that I wasn't using the correct port for the PS5 on the monitor, but I never noticed a difference with HDR on or off, even though I use an HDMI 2.1 cable. But on this Bravia I was blown away. It's such an immense difference. I think the Samsung monitor is either LCD or IPS which may also play a role in it not looking as good.

[@Joshua-xh6bm]

The upcoming L series of Sony TVs will have gaming hubs and other features it's just a real shame they opted to not update their A90K lineup as they probably would have stood to benefit from it the most. Instead they're just keeping it as it is and if you want a gaming hub and other new processing stuff, your next OLED option is the A80L at 55 inches.

You can convert any non-Google TV into a Google TV by connecting a device such as the Chromecast with Google TV which I personally use on my LG C1 as I am not a fan of webOS or the Magic Remote.

Going to get this Sony OLED over the LG C2 if it gets the 2023 Sony model gaming hub update. It’s a shame Sony doesn’t have any 2023 OLED models in the 40” range.

[@thescepterofjudah12]

I compared the 48 inch version of this television with the Sony A80K 55 inch, and due the size of the A80K 55, I chose that one instead. They are really, really close, where as the A90K has a deeper black contrast than the A80K. I really love the slim backlit remote you get with the A90K televisions or better, so I will be buying a remote like the one that comes standard with the A90K to go with my A80K! I think this would make a great monitor for a Mac Studio, or iMac Pro (though many prefer the 5K monitors).

[@mikekorean5687]

Unfortunately, it does not support 21:9 for gaming unlike LG OLED. As a AMD user, it is so sad since AMD can't customize resolution.

[@mgaming7]

The A90K/A90J (same tv) are excellent. I have the A80J (step down) and it is amazing looking. The 90 Series is a Master Series, and is Brighter and more colorful than my TV. This TV can be calibrated to Reference Quality if you chose to do so.

Hello everyone! I want tell u all something that will excite u and put an an end to ur patient n frustrating wait! Blumhouse Games are coming!! Yes, you heard it right! Iam as excited as every1 is 🤩😍 They'll be using the same technique as they do for their movies, small budget and big profits! They have a budget of $10 M for their games. Although I have requested them to produce AAA quality of games so that we fans can experience the big titles like Halloween, The Purge, Insidious, Happy Death Day, Sinister, Ouija, Truth or Dare, Amityville etc. thoroughly, but we still all need to unite to make this as quick as possible. Anyways just can't wait more now 🤩😍

[@bubbykai9456]

Definitely if you game on a PS5 I think this is probably your best bet 42 OLED especially if you can get it at a price close to the C2. If you use it for multi console/PC monitor I'd say C2 is the better bet.

Thanks for the video. I'm looking forward to your review. The A90K has been my main gaming monitor (PS5,PC,Switch) since launch. It's an amazing TV, very little calibration needed out the box. The picture qualify on this TV is next level. The only negatives are brightness, but still bright enough for true HDR.. Doesn't have four HDMI 2.1 ports, no DP (pipe dream) . I use an 8k switch to get around the HDMI port issue. Great TV. I won't be upgrading until QD-OLED 27-32", 240hz with HDMI 2.1/DP 2.1 monitors become a thing.
