A:AnswerYou need to set your HDMI 3 or 4 to enhanced, not standard or Dolby Vision. I had mine on Dolby Vision and that would not allow the 4K and 120 refresh rate. Changed to enhanced and bingo, 120 refresh rate with 4K. Super pleased now!
A:AnswerHi Jake, Thank you for the inquiry. The KD43X85J supports features specified in HDMI 2.1 like 4K120, eARC/ARC, ALLM, and VRR(VRR will be available via a future firmware update).
To support a 4K 120Hz signal from another device, you will need to set the TV HDMI Signal Format to an Enhanced format for your source device to recognize the 4K 120Hz capability of the TV. Make sure your device is connected to the HDMI 3 or HDMI 4 input on the TV using the supplied Certified Premium HDMI cable.
Select Settings → Watching TV → External inputs → HDMI signal format.
Select the input the device is connected to (either HDMI 3 or HDMI 4), and then change the setting to Enhanced format.
I hope this helps! Jay

A:AnswerYes everything is in the back which is perfectly placed. I’m very happy that there power cord is on the opposite side of the input connections. That means the power supply won’t heat up the input connection board so they won’t burn out prematurely. Great design Sony! You definitely think about everything. Keep up the great work!!

A:AnswerIt's a VA panel. Sources incorrectly stated that most sizes were IPS, but this is untrue (it may apply to non-Us TV's or something, idk). Mine is definitely a VA, and even rtings confirmed that it's a VA panel (the review is for 55", but in the comments they checked the pixel structure of the 43" and verified that it was VA).
I don't get why Sony won't just tell people though. It would be a lot easier than making everyone wait for other reviews and any other brand will tell you that information. I love their products, but it just makes no sense for them to choose not to disclose the panel type to people interested in buying their products.
