    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.

    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.

      We want you to know that we take reports of these issues very seriously. We appreciate this feedback as it helps us improve our future models and the overall reliability of our lineup. Please be assured that we will share your specific comments regarding brightness and the technical failure with our product teams for review.

    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.

      Thank you for sharing your experience, Rcgray!

      We are pleased to hear that your new K-43S20M2 television is performing well and has resolved the freezing issues you experienced with your previous model—"so far so good" is exactly what we aim for! 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. We understand that changes to control layouts can require an adjustment, and this design decision was part of our efforts to simplify the remote and focus on common streaming navigation. Your input is valuable, and we will certainly share this suggestion with our design teams for future development.

      Thank you again for choosing Sony!

    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!

    Fantastic TV. I already have 2 ea 65" Sony Oled units, one for Family Room and the other for the MBR. This one to replace a Samsung model in my home office. If you like live action sports this is the model. You can see the individual blades of grass a football field. When you can see the individual perspiration beads on a player you know it is a great experience when watching.

      Hi Pete,

      We are pleased to learn that your new BRAVIA 2 II is making such a vivid impression, even alongside your other Sony OLED units! Transitioning your home office to a Sony display clearly shows your dedication to premium visual quality. We are thrilled that the clarity is so sharp you can distinguish individual blades of grass and fine details on the field; it’s exactly that level of realism we aim to deliver for sports enthusiasts who want to feel like they are standing on the sidelines.

      The lifelike detail you're noticing is powered by our advanced image processing, which excels at enhancing texture and clarity in real-time. For live action, the motion handling on this model ensures that even during high-speed plays, the picture remains fluid and crisp without the blur often found on other displays. It’s the perfect way to stay engaged with the game while you're in your workspace.

      Thank you for continuing to trust Sony to provide the ultimate viewing experience throughout your home.
