An immersive OLED experience in compact form – perfect for gaming! This is the Sony BRAVIA XR MASTER Series OLED XR-42A90K.
With exceptional colour, pure blacks for real-life depth and texture, and superior viewing angles, Sony OLED is simply stunning.
Every detail is enhanced on this 4K TV – even 2K and HD content is upscaled closer to 4K quality with our XR 4K Upscaling technology. The colours are truly spectacular, thanks to our widest ever colour palette, XR Triluminos Pro™.
For full sensory immersion, the screen is the speaker. Acoustic Surface Audio+â„¢ combines two actuators and a centre subwoofer for truly immersive audio that matches exactly what's on screen. All your entertainment will even be upscaled to 3D surround sound, without the need for additional speakers!
These incredible picture and sound technologies are wrapped up in our gorgeous Metal Flush Surface design with a 2-way stand, allowing you to fit a soundbar underneath the TV, or even use it as a gaming display on a desktop. Our premium backlit remote control is also included.
Perfect for PlayStation®5 and other consoles, gamers can gain the competitive edge with ultra-responsive, smooth gameplay, made possible by the Auto Low Latency Mode in HDMI 2.1, a Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and more specialist gaming features.
Access 700,000+ movies and TV episodes – organised to suit your interests – on this Google TV. You can even set aside the remote and use the built-in Voice Search to find new entertainment and control your other smart home devices. With BRAVIA CAM (sold separately), you can take this even further to enjoy Gesture Control and video chats with friends and family on the big screen!
Our exclusive streaming service, BRAVIA CORE, is included on the XR-42A90K, with hundreds of movies waiting for you.
