Q: Hi- what is the actual width of the X80J? The specs say 11.25” wide, which is obviously a mistake for this 43” model. I need to put inside a cabinet so the width is critical to know. Most 43” models are usually 38-40” wide.

A: Hi Lori, thank you for reaching out with your concern, and we apologize for the inconvenience. The 43" X80J has a width of 38.27 inches. To know more about its specifications, please reference the link below: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-lcd-tvs-android-/kd-43x80j/specifications I hope this helps! - Romeo

Q: Has anyone tried the X80J as a Pc Monitor?

A: Yes, I’m using it as a monitor and it works great

Q: Does this TV have an audio port for connecting wired headphones?

A: Hi JN, thank you for inquiring about the X80J Series 4K UHD Smart Google TV. Yes, you can connect your headphones to the headphone port of the TV. Hope this helps. Erin

Q: CAN I PLAY THIS TV WITHOUT USING THE "SMART" BEING ENABLED? I'D LIKE TO JUST SCRLL WITH MY REMOTE TO THE CHANNELS I WANT. I HAVE A ROKU THAT I SOMETIMES USE FOR NETFLIX, YOU TUBE, ETC.

A: Hi William, Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, you can use the TV even without connecting it to the internet. You can also connect the TV to devices such as Roku on the HDMI input of the TV. Roku usually needs HDMI to connect to and utilize its streaming capability. I hope this helps! Regards, Carl

Q: I know the X85J hasn't been released yet in 43" but I can't seem to find anything that definitively can tell me the difference between the X85J and the X80J models. Can someone help? I don't know if I should wait or not. Thanks!

A: I too was waiting for the x85j since its for my room that I use a lot and I cant buy anything bigger because it will be too close to me but in seeing poor contrast and the same thing as x80j so its not worth spending the extra 350 dollars even if you have money the x85j is the same now you go to 48 inch then you have way better options than the x85j but if not just buy the x80j

Q: Does the 43" Sony X80J have support for Nextgen / ATSC 3.0 in its tuner so that it will be able to receive 4k Over-The-Air broadcasts when stations in my area come online with those broadcasts which is expected some in late 2021 in Sacramento?

A: Sony's website has the specs for the KD-43x80J. They say it has an ATSC/ATSC 3.0 (NextgenTV) tuner with coverage as follows: VHF: 2–13/UHF: 14–69 (14–36 for ATSC 3.0).
