”We’ve never before tested a TV this size that’s this good.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.

The perfect OLED TV for smaller rooms

OLED TV is widely regarded as the ‘gold standard’ in TV yet, until recently, has only been available in larger TV screen sizes. With this Sony 48 inch TV, you get a smaller version of the award-winning BRAVIA OLED technology. This means you get all the OLED benefits, just in a TV that fits your room.

4K OLED panel for the finest picture around
Backlighting technology is a thing of the past with OLED. Instead of using various arrays of LEDs to light an LCD display, OLED uses over eight million self-illuminating pixels for sensational image quality. With self-illuminating pixels, you get outstanding contrast. Blacks are far deeper than LED displays and corresponding whites much brighter. For the ultimate in realism, OLED is where it’s at.

Sony’s Cognitive Processor XR just keeps getting better
Sony’s Cognitive Processor XR marries AI to cognitive intelligence for a picture balance that’s best suited to humans rather than just algorithms. The processor analyses every element of the picture to give a sharper image with greater depth and realism. The latest processor features Depth Control and Flexible Colour Contrast Control for even greater depth and colour vibrancy.

XR Triluminos Pro and OLED Contrast Pro for ultimate colour
XR Triluminos Pro combines with XR Colour to deliver the truest and most natural colour. For the highest levels of contrast and detail, XR OLED Contrast Pro adjusts the brightness to give brighter peaks and more detail within darker areas.

The smoothest images with XR OLED Motion and 4K XR Smoothing
Keeping the millions of pixels in check, Sony’s XR OLED Motion technology keeps the action flowing smoothly. Minimising blur, the powerful processing strikes the perfect balance between ultimate detail and the smoothest motion. 4K XR Smoothing reduces picture banding, giving a more lifelike and natural flow to images.

Picture quality as the creator intended – NCM, Dolby Vision and Calman Ready
Compatible with a wide range of technologies, the XR-48A90KU reproduces visuals, just as the creator intended. If you’re a movie fan, you’ll love NCM (Netflix Calibrated Mode). NCM bypasses many of the TV’s processors, giving you a picture that’s much closer to how the filmmaker intended. Calman Ready, this TV is also ideal for those who wish to calibrate their TV to truly professional levels.

Acoustic Surface Audio+ for perfect sound to picture sync
Sony’s unique Acoustic Surface Audio+ speaker system enhances the sync between what you see and what you hear. Vibrating actuators positioned behind the screen pinpoint the sound to the action, heightening the sense of connection and realism. With a centre subwoofer fitted, Acoustic Surface Audio+ gives a bottom-end boost, too.

XR Surround with 3D Surround Upscaling for enveloping sound
Part of the Cognitive Processor XR, XR Surround with 3D Surround Upscaling takes a regular audio signal and creates a virtual surround sound effect – making you feel more immersed in the action.

Works with BRAVIA CAM*
The optional BRAVIA CAM (extra cost option), is the innovative new camera that does so much more than video calls. BRAVIA CAM recognises where viewers are sitting and optimises the picture and sound to suit. It also facilitates the use of gesture control. All this plus it still functions with your TV to make it the ultimate device for video calls.

*Gesture control and auto optimisation function due later in 2022

Google TV**
Using Google’s world-class interface, Google TV makes accessing this Sony TV’s smart features a breeze. Customise your home screen with the apps you use the most, enjoy recommendations, curate your movie nights and even add to your watchlist via your smartphone – Google TV makes sense of Smart TV. You can also access the Sony’s picture, sound and other TV settings – keeping all you need under one ‘roof’.

**This Sony BRAVIA TV features the Youview catch-up TV service, which includes BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All4 & My5.

Hands-free voice control your TV
Featuring Google Assistant built-in, this Sony TV effortlessly becomes part of your Google/Android home network. The built-in mic lets you search, hands-free. If you prefer to use a different platform, the Sony is compatible, too. Apple AirPlay and Homekit compatibility makes it possible to integrate with your Apple system. Support for Amazon Alexa devices also means you can voice control via your existing Alexa device.

New, premium quality remote control
Pared back and premium, the new aluminium remote control is a joy to use. Simplified buttons and a backlight make it easy to use, day or night. It’s also easy to find. With Function Finder, simply ask the TV to find the remote and remote sends an alert signal – perfect for when it’s dropped behind a cushion!

The perfect partner for your PS5
Combine this BRAVIA XR TV with your PS5 and get a fully optimised experience. Whether you’re gaming or watching a movie on your PS5, the TV automatically adjusts to optimise the picture and settings. Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode mean your PS5 is served better than ever by this Sony TV.

Multi-position stand
Supplied with a multi-position stand, the XR-48A90KU is ideal for use, with or without a soundbar. Dedicated settings offer a higher position for soundbar in place or the standard, low profile position for a sleeker style. The adjustable stand also makes the TV suitable as a desktop gaming display.

Brilliant as TV, gaming monitor, or both, the Sony BRAVIA XR-48A90KU is an incredibly versatile OLED.

Please note, this Smart TV features third party Apps. These Apps may be modified or withdrawn at any time. There may also be a delay in launching some of the featured Apps. Catch-up TV Apps may vary by region. The function and availability of apps is not covered by the manufacturer’s or Richer Sounds’ guarantee.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Sharp Picture. Clear sound I bought this TV less than a month ago so I am stilll getting used to many of the features. However it has brought together several services I previously used "under one roof", so to speak.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrific Pictures with many additional functions. A minor disappointment is that the ‘Red Button’ service is not available.I have been shown a more roundabout way to get the information using the remote. Apart from this I am very pleased with the set.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A very high quality system Bought this last month to replace an old tv. Didn’t realise how much technology had moved on. Excellent picture and sound quality; especially the sound. Automated set up explanations could have been clear. But if trial and error with satellite tuning options but got there in the end. Very happy with the product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from My new TV After owning my last set for many years it was time for a change and I am delighted with the picture but will have to go to school to learn how to activate all the many complex items the set has to offer!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Amazing Picture Quality We have had no regrets about this purchase: the excellence of the picture and sound quality were all features we had hoped for and are apparent. The ability to adjust colour and sound very easy to undertake.The set up was straight forward and relatively easy to undertake even for those who are a little uncertain about new technology. our only niggle we have had so far is a slightly faulty remote control but we're supplied with 2 anyway! We are very happy customers!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does what it says on the label 👍 Very pleased links to iPhone Marantz sound system and headphones. The headphones enable me to link wirelessly and yet full sound functions are available to other viewers including mute!
