Picture Quality
The Sony XR-42A90K with XR OLED, Contrast Pro technology to boost colour and contrast even further. This enhances pictures in the same way as your eyes focus on all the things you love in the real-world, so you won’t miss a single detail nestled in those dazzling lights or deep shadows.
The XR42A90K features Sony`s widest colour palette yet, you’ll have access to over a billion colours on the XR-42A90K. In fact, some of these colours are only available on a Sony TV. Sony’s XR Triluminos Pro™ algorithm can detect colour from saturation, hue, and brightness, reproducing each shade with the natural, subtle differences only found in nature and the real-world. You’ll notice this is especially prevalent with the stunning greens and reds.
The ‘banding’ that can sometimes occur on other TVs is combatted on the XR-42A90K. We’ve achieved this with 4K XR Smoothing working to create smooth, natural 4K pictures as you watch, owed to the thousands of tones, shades, and gradations Sony can reproduce.
This XR42A90K Sony TV can detect each object on the screen, analyse its colour and adjust the contrast in real-time for even more realistic pictures. From landscapes to people, object-based processing takes precision to a whole new level by adjusting the hue, saturation, brightness, motion vector, bandwidth, and more. Sony’s XR HDR Remaster technology can help you realise the full potential of what creators intended you to see in a scene and transport you into the scenery.
Watching high-speed action and sports is better on the XR-42A90K! Fast-paced scenes are never blurred or distorted, with Sony’s XR OLED Motion analysing the motion and inserting extra frames to ensure the action stays smooth, bright, and clear.
Design
Our 2-way stand provides real versatility - set it up in the standard position or use the soundbar position to keep your sound system neat. The extra height makes this a great gaming display on your desktop too!
Acoustic Surface Audio+
For full sensory immersion, the screen is the speaker. Acoustic Surface Audio+™ combines large actuators, as well as left and right subwoofers, 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!
Gaming
The TV recognises when a console is connected and powered on. It then automatically switches to Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) in HDMI 2.1 so you can enjoy smoother, more responsive gameplay. This is a vital feature for those who want the competitive edge in fast-moving, high-intensity games.
With up to a massive 120 frames per second (4k/120fps) for near instant on-screen action, you can take on any shooting, sports, or high-performance challenge!
To avoid stuttering delays and screen tearing, a Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) in HDMI 2.1 is featured. This means the TV dynamically adjusts the display refresh rate to match the variable frame rates of the gaming device for smoother gameplay.
Even in high contrast scenes, you’ll be able to see the crucial details in the darkest and brightest parts of the screen, thanks to Sony’s Auto HDR Tone Mapping technology. If you have a PS5™, the High Dynamic Range (HDR) settings will be automatically optimised for your specific BRAVIA XR™ TV model during the initial console set-up.
You won’t ever need to worry about adjusting your settings as you switch between different types of entertainment either. With Auto Genre Picture Mode, Sony BRAVIA XR™ TVs automatically enter Game Mode to minimise input lag and make the action more responsive. When watching movies, the XR-42A90K will automatically switch back to Standard Mode to focus on picture processing.
