Product Reviews

Compared directly alongside competitors It stood out immediately,my first Sony product!

We like the colours on Sony TVs and have had several Sony TVs and other Sony products a few Sony products

I bought around three weeks ago is amazing and quality for the films and also I can put everything .

Really pleased with the purchase, wanted a smaller OLED tv and this 48 inch is just right for our room. Great picture and sound. Easy to set up, decided to just plug in and go rather than connect through our BT box, just follow the on screen instructions. Picked up my Netflix and Amazon contracts easily. Like using the remote as a microphone to ask any questions. Great buy!

Had the T.V about 3 weeks now and can honestly say it’s probably one of the best televisions we have had. The picture definition and colour are fabulous, but it’s redeeming feature is the sound. With this television, there is no need to purchase a separate sound bar, the sound comes from the screen. Go check it out.

Excellent TV. Obsolete remote in that BBC has withdrawn red button and text service so these features unresponsive on the remote, which is disappointing. Sony should revise the design of this remote, Feel inclined to return TV to retailer as we’re still within 35-day return policy, though fault is with BBC and then Sony.

Bought it replace 12 year old Bravia TV which had given excellent fault free service until the picture failed. Wanted best picture quality in a confined space and a decent contained sound system. This has been delivered.

I bought it one manth ago and I’m very happy with this screen oled

I bought this 2weeks ago as a replacement for my older generation Sony TV

I bought this as I am particularly sighted and it’s great

Pictures are bright and the sound is great. Very easy to set up and no additional sound bar keeps it simple.

very disappointed, software problems with continual re-booting and now taken away for repairs for a new panel (Screen)

Excellent picture and well defined sound. Many functions which can be complex to the uninitiated, online manual difficult to access - a printed edition would be a great improvement

Still finding out all the features Waiting for my Sonos sound bar to complete the system

Picture and sound fantastic feel you are in a cinema.

Full featured. Blacks are BLACK and colours vivid. YouView seems OK but no apps for iPlayer or STV Player so you need YouView to start these apps. Need to broaden the available apps to cover this deficiency. Connected with a recorder that did not have aerial pass through so YouView channels lost each night when recorder left on standby. Took a while to understand this foible but a coax splitter fixed issue.

Bought this TV from John Lewis 2 weeks ago. Wonderful picture! The only disappointing aspect of it is I have to use two remotes as it won’t work with Sky Q box. I have to turn Tv on with Sony remote and then use Sky Q remote. Sky remote was working to turn the Tv on and off but was intermittent and very annoying! Any advice would be very welcome. I have already contacted technical support, but the matter was not resolved.

I bought this Sony KD48A9 after reading reviews and comparisons and am pleased with its performance. I now see that there are other tv’s that are cheaper and probably also good, but I wouldn’t change.

Beautiful looks terrific picture very easy to setup, definitely my best choice couldn’t be more happy.

A first class upgrade on my previous HD tv. The 48” size integrates well in a smaller living space and the picture quality is excellent.

Completed extensive research on all OLED TV of this size and by far this came out the best. Now had fo one week and has been fantastic, the TV even improved the viewing of non HD channels. Easy to set up and now added the Sky Q package really shows all that the television can do.

Excellent picture quality. We had been thinking of buying a sound bar too but the sound from the TV is so good that we don't need to.

Had telly two weeks best I've ever had and have purchased songs over many years, nothing better

Picture quality is excellent, it is Master of TV's. I love it. we bought additional speakers for better sound, but TV sound quality is good.

Very happy with this tv , excellent sound and picture.

Highly recommend John Lewis ...their advice in store & their installation support. Helped guide us through the wide choice of TV's and able to select the one that was ideal. Great choice with a beautiful picture. Well done John Lewis & Sony

I needed a 28 inch OIEDtv and also a sound bar unfortunately the TV has a table top stand and doesn't operate well together.

No problems at all, excellent tv,great picture, great sound, great features.

Really pleased best tv I’ve ever purchased and would recommend it highly

Not as bright as other rivals, but you have to ramp up the colour levels to make this TV bright. Not a problem if you like dark pictures and scenes. This is an oled TV though

I wanted an OLED TV but in a smaller size. At 48 inches this model is ideal for me. Really like the low stand which reduces the TV's height in a small room like mine. The screen seems to float on the stand rather than dominate the room. This looks like a real luxury item. I did some calibration based on recommendations from a couple of review sites. A lot of the settings are fine out of the box. My main adjustment was reducing brightness from a neutral setting of 50 down to 35 but that's just me. I watch a lot of sport so motion handling is very important to me. Having adjusted the motion flow settings a little I am delighted at the results. No juddering I can detect or artefacts. The colours are truly excellent. I can't believe how black is now black rather than a sort of grey as displayed on my old HD LCD TV. Sound was decent and may suit some but I prefer using my Sound Base so have reconnected that. The upscaling of HD transmission gives very enjoyable results. Much much better than on my old HD TV. More vibrant, more natural. As for 4K HDR viewing. Well all I can say is "wow". Eye popping gorgeousness. I just love this television.

I bought this for a smaller area. I have the 55in A9 Master Series. Itt is a superb OLED!

I bought this TV as an upgrade for my 10 years old Sony Bravia HD which was still working perfectly, but the quality of the picture and sound with the oled is impressive. Can't compare with the old one.

Great picture great sound without using a sound bar

Very easy to set up it even looks good one not switched on. Excellent picture and the sound isn’t bad also

Good quality picture good looking TV easy to set up

Had this TV now for 3 weeks - the only issue I have with it is that 'Brilliance' tends to stay on 'Max' and there are certain days when the sunshine dictates a higher brilliance. Apart from that the TV itself and picture is fantastic. Super clear and colour perfect.

A stunning OLED Tv which, being 48 inches, is probably the largest set we could have accommodated in our small living room. The initial setup consists of linking your google account, wifi network and any external devices. After that, the tv hunts for updates, which is promptly downloads and installs and then you are free to start playing with it. The interface is android based and is quick. The tv scheduler is based on the Youview and, unlike some Youview systems, is fast and responsive. Sony have included all of the catchup services under the Youview menu, which is a nice touch, so you can access live and catchup. There is also a usb connector at the back of the tv dedicated for a Hard drive, so I'm guessing this implementation of Youview can record, if you have a storage device connected. Out of the box this tv is great. But look up some calibration guides on the internet, for SDR, HDR and Dolby Vision and this set really comes alive. Picture rendering in all formats is sublime. With either the brilliant OLED contrast and impressive upscaling really showing off BluRays, or HDR from the native streaming apps or a UHD player looking brilliant. I'd been watching the Expanse on Amazon on my old 40inch HD set for a number of years. But watching it on this with Dolby Vision active is just another league. Wonderful. Sunlight actually makes you squint, where dark areas which were once clipped, now contain detail. Every TV I've owned has always been let down by it's audio, So I've always run audio from an external amp. The sound coming from this set though is light years ahead of anything I've heard. Yeah, it lacks low end grunt but, the installed subwoofer does rumble and the sound emitted is spacious and detailed. On par with some soundbars i've heard. The virtual atmos surround system doesn't seem to have a lot of presence, but it does render sounds behind you and above...but you have to ramp it up. Good effort there. The supplied brushed aluminium stand is stealthy and compliments the TV's thin bezel design, but I opted to mount it on a pedestal stand due to space issues. Either way though, this is a good looking set no matter where you put it.

Sitting down to watch a program is a mini-event—a bit like going to the cinema.

I bought the A9 48" TV about a month ago, and from the off the picture quality is incredible. Watching UHD/4K content is as good as the demos in the shops. My partner and I just kept exclaiming WOW as we watched Planet Earth. The sound quality is very good considering it uses actuators on the panel. Obvioulsy srurround sound setups etc would be better but for the unit on its own, very good. The stand only leaves a few mm between panel and surface, so it can be difficult to move safely as according to instructions. HD channels play clearly, but obviously those channels on lower res output do suffer quality-wise, although the TV does a good job of smoothing the upscaling, it can only go so far.

Bought this to replace ageing existing telly. The picture quality is very sharp. Love the way the picture goes virtually to the edge. Has loads of really useful features such as Airplay, Apple TV. If attached a storage device (USB stick or drive) could get find of my PVR. And best of all the wife loves it.

So far so good. Nice colour and sound. Don't need a soundbar ....hurrah. Set up was an issue , not helped by not having access to a detailed manual. I know I'm probably an old codger Don't know why there's a text button on the remote , when this service isn't available.

I bought this to replace a 43" QLED as in that size Samsung don't offer a full array panel & I was always disappointed with it compared to my larger proper QLED, the picture of the Sony OLED is superb & noticeably better than the full array QLED. The operating system is quick but not as slick as the Samsung, although that may just be because i'm not used to it. That said there are some glaring issues such as no programable sleep timer to turn it off at a given time everyday, just a basic off timer that you need to set each time. The other issue is that I can't seem to use the mic button on the remote to do much other than control apps, I can't seem to use it to change channels on the Virgin media box or set the off timer, again it may be me not using it correctly but I have done a bit of searching & haven't been able to sort it. Overall a great picture which is what I want from a TV, sound is OK but nothing special, I would still recommend it to anybody.

I bought this TV a couple of months ago. The picture is outstanding and the detail superb. Good remote control and was very easy to set up.

Great picture and sound and easy to setup and use and is an android tv

I wanted a smaller oled this fits the space with quality

I absolutely Love this tv, the picture is amazing, and the sound that comes through the screen is perfect, I see no need for a sound bar, This is not my home theatre tv but more of a News tv, and you tube stuff. Excellent quality and features

I have had this TV for 3 months now, and am very impressed with its excellent picture, and sound.However, I am less impressed with the number of glitches, (10 so far), involving either loss of sound or picture or twice being unable to change channel or volume. Fortunately, all these problems were able to be solved by switching off, and back on again. So, a small, but irritating problem with what I think is an otherwise excellent TV.

Great tv 5*picture and sound menus a bit complicated.

We have had the TV for 3+ months now and are delighted with the picture and qhality of the screen. Watching sport is such an improvement over our LED screen. It's easy to use and the inbuilt apps is a useful feature. Setup can be a bit frustrating sometimes as some of the settings are not clear as to their function/ purpose, particularly the ones relating to sound. The sound quality is good, but not as good as my Bose sound bar, the supposed sound coming from different parts of the screen according to who is speaking doesn't really improve it. Hence 4 stars.

Great picture and sound quality, well built, pleasing to the eye, what's not to like

I bought this 2 weeks ago really pleased with picture quality,very disappointed with the sound quality,I had to then purchase the Sony sound bar,still not fantastic maybe a little bit more tinkering required.
