    Went in to buy one brand, and both the BB salesman and a rep steered me toward the Sony, particularly because the smaller, less popular models are lower quality in most other brands. Found out as I was making the purchase that the rep was with another brand, not Sony. He said my set was one of the best ones available at that size. I will say the set up was excruciating - took well over an hour and required so many choices. I was replacing an 18 year old Sharp, Very pleased with the quality and Best Buy’s service.

      Thank you for sharing your detailed and insightful review, RobertL!

      We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the advice from the salesperson and a competing brand's rep steered you toward the K-43S20M2 television! It’s fantastic to know that professionals recognize the superior quality of our screens, even in the smaller, less common size categories, and that you are very pleased with the quality of your new set.

      However, we are very sorry to hear that the setup process was excruciating and took over an hour due to the number of choices and steps. We aim for a user-friendly experience right out of the box, and we regret that this initial process was so frustrating for you. We genuinely appreciate this feedback and will share it with our product development teams to explore ways to streamline the initial setup experience.

      We're glad to know your long search for a replacement for your 18-year-old set has finally brought you great satisfaction with Sony!

    We have purchased Sony TV’s for years, they are the best as far as we are concerned. The one we just bought has such a clear picture, it looks like people are about to come out and visit you. I would highly recommend Sony even though they cost more. They have more than paid for themselves for us.

    After a few weeks: Sound is very good. Picture is not as good as I had hoped it would be. Replaced a 8 year old LG. and this Sony is not that much better. Poor traking motion on football game. Over all not a bad TV set. I woud say it is just OK.

      Hi LaneB,

      We are glad to hear you are enjoying the sound quality of your new BRAVIA 2 II! To improve the motion tracking during football games, we recommend adjusting your Motionflow settings; simply press the Quick Settings (gear icon) button on your remote, navigate to Picture > Motion, and set Motionflow to "Standard" or "Smooth" to reduce blur. You can also try the "Sports" picture mode, which is specifically calibrated to enhance fast-moving action and provide a clearer view of the field. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue to refine our technology.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    I was disappointed in the brightness of this model, especially being a Sony. Whether the room was dark or bright, the TV wasn't bright enough. I had an LG manufacturered in 2012 that still works. That model looks and works well in comparison to the higher priced Sony. No depth either. I was wanting to give it some time to see if it grew on me, and low and behold, within one month, the TV suddenly would have audio only with no video whatsoever. Ultimately settled iwth a Roku TV at almost half price with 5-year protection plan.

Please be assured that we will share your specific comments regarding brightness and the technical failure with our product teams for review.

    It's a great TV for the price. TV is in a 2nd bedroom and it's perfect for there. The set up was easy, even for a couple of old retired people. The TV's sound is very good to excellent, no need for a soundbar. We could pay more for an even better picture, but this is perfect for our needs.

    Was everything I expected from a tv, we use the tv to stream with and it works excellent. No setup issues. The only issue is the sound, it works fine and is loud but really needs a sound bar for better quality, same issue with any tv you purchase these days.

      Thank you for your balanced and helpful review, Stewie!

      We are delighted to hear that the K-43S20M2 has met all your expectations and is working "excellent" for all your streaming needs with no setup issues. It's great to know you had such a seamless start!

      We appreciate your honest feedback on the sound quality. You are absolutely right—modern, ultra-thin TV designs sometimes require a soundbar to deliver the deep, cinematic audio experience that matches the incredible picture quality. We're glad the built-in sound is working fine and is loud, but for that truly immersive experience, we definitely recommend pairing it with one of our Sony soundbars (like the HT-S400 or HT-A5000) to elevate the audio to home theater level.

      Thanks again for choosing Sony!

    bought this to replace an older model that kept freezing when streaming, and so far so good. however, for some reason they've removed the fast forward and reverse buttons from the remote. you will have to adjust the picture settings, but once you find your preference it has a great picture.

We're also glad you found that the TV offers a great picture once you adjusted the settings to your preference.

      We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the remote control design, specifically the removal of the dedicated Fast Forward and Reverse buttons.
