Q: Does this model have a Nextgen tuner built in?
A: Hi Dougjnew12024, The Sony 43" Class BRAVIA 2 II LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (2025) is equipped with a standard ATSC 1.0 tuner. It does not have a built-in ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) tuner. For our 2025 lineup, ATSC 3.0 tuners are typically included starting with our higher-end models, such as the BRAVIA 5 and BRAVIA 7 series. For this specific BRAVIA 2 II model, you would need an external NextGen TV converter box connected via an HDMI port to receive those signals. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
Q: is the sony bravia 2 43 inch tv compatible with altafiber cable service
A: Thank you for contacting Sony, Terry. Yes, the Sony BRAVIA 2 is fully compatible with your Altafiber cable service, assuming you are connecting via a standard cable box or set-top device. HDMI Connectivity: The BRAVIA 2 TV comes equipped with four HDMI ports, which is the universal standard for connecting modern cable boxes, set-top boxes, and streaming devices. Your Altafiber cable box will connect perfectly via an HDMI cable. Coaxial Port (Antenna/Basic Cable): The TV also includes a coaxial input if you needed to connect a traditional antenna for over-the-air broadcasts or a direct basic cable connection. In short, the TV has all the necessary ports to seamlessly integrate with your existing Altafiber setup. We appreciate your interest in Sony products. Should you require any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out for support here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv Best regards, Gus, Sony North America Customer Support
Q: The stand width illustration ( outside leg to other outside leg) says 10 inches. Is this correct ?
A: Thank you for contacting Sony, Mike. The information you are looking for—the maximum width of the stand from the outside edge of one foot to the outside edge of the other—is not 10 inches. Correct Stand Width (Outside Edge to Outside Edge): 30.75 inches (781 mm). Stand Depth: The depth of the stand (front to back) is approximately 10.13 inches (255 mm). It seems the illustration you saw might have been confusing the stand's depth (front-to-back, which is about 10 inches) with the stand's width (side-to-side, which is about 30.75 inches). We appreciate your interest in Sony products. Should you require any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out for support here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=tv Best regards, Gus, Sony North America Customer Support
Q: Does this TV have built in DVR functionality?
A: Hi Cee, The Sony 43" Class BRAVIA 2 II LED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (2025) does not have built-in DVR functionality for recording over-the-air (antenna) or cable channels, as is common with many modern smart TVs in the US. However, because it runs on the Google TV platform, you can use a subscription service like YouTube TV, which provides its own unlimited cloud DVR for recording content from their live streaming channels. If you need to record from an antenna, you would need to purchase an external DVR device (like a Tablo) and connect it to the TV via HDMI. Thanks for choosing Sony. Best regards, Eliab
A: Thank you for contacting Sony, Mike. The ports on your K43S20M2 are engineered to the HDMI 2.0 bandwidth standard, meaning they are optimized for 4K content at 60Hz. Your TV includes two great features for enhanced sound and gaming: ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode): This is supported on all four HDMI ports, ensuring a quick, low-lag Game Mode is automatically activated when you connect a modern console. eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel): This function is designated specifically to HDMI 3. You should use this port for connecting a high-fidelity soundbar or AV receiver. While your TV successfully handles the features above, its HDMI 2.0 architecture does not facilitate the highest-bandwidth performance features required by some next-generation consoles, such as 4K at 120Hz, 8K at 60Hz, or VRR (Variable Refresh Rate). For best results, we advise using HDMI 3 (eARC) and HDMI 4 for primary high-demand devices like gaming consoles. You can then use HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 for all other devices, such as cable boxes or streaming players. We appreciate your interest in Sony products.

Q: Can it be mounted on a wall
A: Hi Jean, Thank you for choosing Sony! We appreciate your question and are here to assist you. Yes, the Sony K43S20M2 TV can be wall-mounted. We recommend the SU-WL450 wall-mount bracket, which is designed for BRAVIA TVs including the 43” model and supports VESA-compliant mounting standards. For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the official Sony manual: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/BN08/a73a4b852cc0ba5144f7934674149e39/BN081001M.pdf Ensure that the wall you choose can support the TV's weight and follow all safety guidelines during installation.

Q: Do I need any tools to put stand on?
A: Hi JK, Yes, you will need a Phillips screwdriver to attach the stand to the Sony BRAVIA 2 II LED 4K TV. The screws required for the stand are typically included in the box with the TV. Important Tip: When assembling the stand, it's highly recommended to lay the TV screen face-down on a soft, clean, and stable surface (like a blanket on a table) to avoid scratching the screen. The setup guide that comes in the box will have the exact, step-by-step instructions for your specific 43-inch model. Thanks for considering Sony products. Best regards, Eliab

Great 43" TV from Sony
I bought this TV about a month ago to replace a bedroom TV that was really old. It was super easy to set up and the picture is crystal clear. It's a great size for the room. And the remote is so much better than the one I have for my other Sony TV. It's smaller and doesn't have so many buttons that I never use.

Sony TV review
This is a solid mid-range TV that punches above its weight. The picture quality is crisp and vivid — colors feel natural and well balanced, and motion handling is smooth. For everyday viewing, it delivers clear detail even in darker scenes.
