Doesn't meet the Sony brand standard
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I owned multiple Sony TVs at varying price points over the years, this is by far the lowest quality Sony product I've ever owned. I purchased the 2022 version of this model and that model had 120hz, this model is only 60hz and the difference is noticeable. I have also noticed that the 2025 model is absent Dolby Vision. So were seeing a downward trend in quality at Sony. I hope someone at Sony notices that customers are noticing this disturbing trend and hope they will act to save their reputation.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback, thenewWade.
We sincerely appreciate your long-term loyalty to Sony, and it is concerning to hear that your experience with the K-43S30 has not met the high standards you’ve come to expect from us. We truly value the perspective of customers like you who have owned multiple generations of our products.
The BRAVIA 3 is designed as our entry-level 4K LED model, focusing on providing a reliable Sony experience at a more accessible price point. Because of this, it features a 60Hz refresh rate and standard HDR support. For users looking for the 120Hz refresh rate and the enhanced contrast of Dolby Vision that you enjoyed previously, we typically recommend moving into our BRAVIA 7, 8, or 9 series, which utilize our more advanced XR processors to deliver those premium features.
Please be assured that your comments regarding this "downward trend" have been noted. Feedback like yours is vital as we plan our future lineups and strive to maintain the reputation for quality that you have trusted for years.
Thank you again for your honest feedback and for being a part of the Sony community.
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Nice 43” tv
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony 43” Bravia is a very nice tv. The picture that Sony always produces is fantastic. The speakers also produce a sound for built in speakers. Sony’s cost more but they live up to extra cost.

Love Sony Bravia. Do NOT LOVE built-in Google.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of the picture is excellent. However, I did not realize getting a Google enabled TV would take over my entire life. It is now encroaching on my phone and every aspect of my TV experience. If I could return the two that I purchased and get great quality as Sony Bravia provides without built-in Google I certainly would.
