The technology isn’t new, but this is the first time we’ve seen it used on a TV. On the rear of the A1 are a pair of sonic actuators, which vibrate the glass, creating stereo sound. This allows it to be wall-hung with a standard Vesa mount. A counter balance detaches from the bottom of the lean-back stand, allowing it to lock neatly onto the back of the panel. Of course, the A1 can always be wall-mounted if you don’t want to place it on a surface. You absolutely have to sit it on trendy low AV furniture for the best possible viewing angle. One consequence of this languid pose is that the TV has a six-degree recline, which may require a visit to Ikea.

And cried like tots when they took it away… Available in two screen sizes (55- and 65-inch), we got to play with the latter. Today the brand’s first 4K HDR OLED is altogether more impressive – a joyously brilliant flatscreen with an innovative audio system. Then its XEL-1 11-inch desktop screen was a cute curiosity. Sony first dabbled with OLED TV in the noughties.
