![]() One of those two HDMI sockets also covers eARC, and in addition there are three USBs, an Ethernet socket, binding posts for two TV tuners and even composite video inputs. ![]() However, the Xbox Series X most certainly supports VRR, and some alternative TVs offers greater HDMI 2.1 compatibility, too. In fact, given that the PlayStation 5 doesn’t as yet support VRR, Sony is probably fine with this TV not supporting VRR either. The XR-55A90J has four HDMI inputs, two of which are 4K at 120Hz, ALLM and 48Gbps-enabled – so they go most of the way to getting the best from a next-gen console. Switch them to the second position and, while they’re still quite a distance apart, they’re at least inside the boundaries of the screen itself – and there’s now room to position a soundbar beneath the screen. In the first position, the feet actually outflank the edges of the screen, and they support the screen just a fraction above the surface on which it’s standing. ![]() If you’re happy to stand the Sony on its feet, though, at least you have options. Near the top of the screen it’s a mere 6mm deep but let your eye travel a little further down, and the Sony swells to 41mm.Ī TV has to keep its electronics, its speaker drivers and its inputs somewhere, I know, but the XR-55A90J isn’t the svelte wall-mounting proposition you might have been hoping for. LG has recently demonstrated with its ‘Gallery’ series of OLED screens that a consistent depth of just 2cm can be achieved – but the XR-55A90J is slightly more old-school in this respect. Look at it in profile, however, and the A90J is just slightly more problematic. There’s barely any room for the tiny ‘Sony’ logo on the bottom bezel. So when it’s viewed from straight-ahead, this Sony is basically all screen. Unless you’re shopping in the bargain basement, it’s difficult to find a new TV with bezels any bigger than ‘minimal’ – and, obviously, you’re not about to find the XR-55A90J down there. At the moment, Australian customers only have a price confirmed for the XR-65A90J – it’s AU$4999. For them, the 65in model sells for $3799 and the 55in goes for $2799. However, American customers can pick it up for $7999. No UK price has been set for this whopper as yet… It can also be had as a 65in screen, which costs £3499, while those for whom size is everything might be interested to learn there’s also a humongous 83in version, too. The Sony XR-55A90J is on sale, and in the UK it will set you back a not-inconsiderable £2699.
