As with all yearly releases, you would think that the new Sony A90K is here to replace the excellent 2021 A90J. But what is a strange decision by Sony is that the A90K is meant not to replace their 2021 flagship but rather offer a couple of smaller sizes in their high-end OLED series. In our Sony A90K review today, we will be testing the 48 ″ sizes and will put it to the test to determine if it is as good as the rest of Sony’s latest OLED offerings.

Now, if you pay close attention to the specs, the A90K seems awfully similar to the A80K rather than the A90J as it is missing a heatsink, and also, all specs are similar to the next of Sony’s OLEDs. Why they decided to release a different model only in 42 ″ and 48 ″ instead of adding these in their A80K model is beyond our comprehension, and this is probably the reason why Sony kept the excellent A90J for one more year in circulation as their flagship, the A95K, may be too expensive for many consumers that seek a top tier TV this year.

So let’s take a quick look at the A90 K’s specs. The TV uses a 100/120Hz OLED panel and comes with Cognitive Processor XR and Sony’s most advanced Acoustic Surface Audio+ system. There is Dolby Atmos, DTS, and Dolby Vision support, two HDMI 2.1 ports with VRR out of the box, and it is packed with the latest Google TV platform, including plenty of extras like Chromecast, Airplay 2 and Homekit, Bravia Core, voice control, Netflix calibrated mode, IMAX Enhanced, Calman Ready and Bravia Cam support.
