There aren’t many 42-inch OLEDs in ourbest TVsround-up because until very recently such small panels were prohibitively expensive to make – and that was reflected in their price. When we reviewed the42-inch Sony A90K, we found it hard to look beyond the price tag: a whopping £1,699 for UK buyers.
That was in September, but now the price of that TV has fallen dramatically. It’s now available from multiple retailers for under £1,200, bringing it much closer to the LG C2 (currently £1,099).
As we said in ourSony A90K vs LG C2 comparison, “both of these TV ranges are excellent in different ways, and both offer specific features that will endear them to different buyers.”

Why this smaller Sony is well worth considering
Without the original price tag, theSonyis a fantastic television. Two of its HDMIs are HDMI 2.1 with 48Gbps,4K@120Hz,VRRandALLM. One iseARC-enabledfor your AV receiver or soundbar. Inside there’s the same Cognitive Processor XR as the top of the rangeQD-OLED A95K, and the TV also has Sony’s Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology.
In our review we said that the colour balance was “getting on for exquisite”, motion control was “equally accomplished and equally persuasive” and skin tones were handled brilliantly. The only less than brilliant thing is the OLED panel, which can’t quite match the brightness of larger models.
