48IN Sony XR-48A90K

Its OLED panel might lack the Quantum Dots of its limelight-stealing QD-OLED Sony siblings, but the A90K is still supremely premium and brilliantly capable.

Sony has set out to keep the A90K as compact as possible. The display itself is surrounded by a black bezel that is just 8mm thick at the top and about 12mm on the sides and bottom. At 5.9cm, the A90K is thicker than LG’s 48in C3 (4.7cm), and the plastic enclosure that houses the processing hardware, speakers and connections covers more of the screen’s rear, leaving only a small section of OLED TV super-slimness. That rear, though, has a nice, etched grid pattern covering the whole surface and plastic panels that help to hide some of the connections.

Those connections include two USBs, an ethernet socket, an optical output,frame and which enables entirely hands-free TV control via Google Assistant.
