Expert review Sony A75K OLED TV

In terms of design, the A75K doesn't really stand out between the other Sony televisions. The design is quite simple, but sleek and stylish. Just like all the other OLED TVs by Sony, I notice the realistic image right away. The colors are very detailed and the contrast is strong.

Close-ups from fruits are displayed on the screen. I can see that the TV has a very wide color gamut. A strawberry isn't just red, but the display shows various subtle tones of red. In addition, the bright colors of the fruits aren't dull, but very vibrant. The image looks realistic because of this. The brightness of the TV doesn't let me down either. Even though the A75K isn't as bright as the new Sony A95K QD OLED TV, the image remains properly visible in a bright room.

An OLED screen has millions of pixels that all light up or dim individually. This makes a black part of the screen deep black. The advantage of this becomes really clear with an image of a white, shining necklace against a black background. The black is deep black, while necklace is bright and clear. This means that the TV has a strong contrast. I don't see a white glow around the necklace. This makes images with many dark parts very realistic.

Because an OLED television doesn't have backlight and the pixels are located closely to the screen surface, the viewing angle of this kind of televisions is very good. When I sit at an angle, the contrast of the A75K barely changes either. This is an advantage if you like to watch TV with a larger group of people often, like a soccer game. Bright lights in the room cause reflections on the screen. As long as you don't point artificial light directly at the screen, you won't be bothered much by this.

The Sony A75K has a simple design. The screen stands on 2 thin leg stands that are barely visible when I sit right in front of the TV. Because an OLED screen doesn't have backlight, the screen of such a TV is always very thin. The A75K has a thin screen too. This allows me to hang the TV flat against the wall. Despite the simple design, I think the TV looks stylish and feels sturdy.

The 4 speakers sound find when I watch regular TV, like a talkshow or the news. The A75K misses a subwoofer, so I barely hear bass tones. I mainly notice this during thrilling scenes in an action movie. The Acoustic Surface audio system ensures that the sound comes right out of the screen, which makes everything sound more spatial. I hear clearer stereo sound because the left speaker really produces the sound on the left of the image. The applause during a wedding sounds more detailed thanks to this.

The quite large remote of the A75K feels very luxurious and comfortable in my hand. I can easily start Netflix YouTube, Disney+, or Amazon Prime Video with the shortcuts. I can also find these apps in the Google TV smart menu. This is a well-organized screen with a large selection of streaming apps, recommend movies and series, and information like the weather. I notice that the menu is quick to respond, which allows me to easily scroll through the installed apps.
