    Very pleased with my new bedroom Sony Tv. I only buy Sony, they last a long time. My oldest Sony is 50" LCD, 15 years old and still working. So much better than Samsung. If you want quality, you have to pay more. My newer Sony Tv's have the better motion rate. Hardly notice the difference in motion rate. The picture quality on this Tv is outstanding, vibrant and the colors are beautiful. The Tv speakers sound good but I decided to add the Sonos Beam 2 for Dolby Atmos. I highly recommend this tv. Easy to set up.

    Since Sony doesn’t make 32” TV’s any longer, we took a chance on this 43” smart TV for our bedroom. Sony’s clever placement of the legs makes this TV a winner for smaller desks or a bedroom bureau if you chose not to wall mount it. The picture and sound quality are amazing and it blows any Samsung TV away. No need for a sound bar for the bedroom. This TV took about 45 minutes to set up from start to finish as it took a little extra time to create a google account. The whole process was very easy to follow. The remote control is user friendly and it has buttons for Netflix and Disney Plus. We love this TV and would purchase it again for another room!

    We bought this 43 inch Sony TV after doing thorough research on multiple brands. An old analog TV died, so we moved our 10 year old Sony 32 inch TV to a different room to replace the old TV. We had Best Buy deliver the TV and watched the video about removing the TV from the box and assembling the stand. The video was helpful, but it should have mentioned that it is best to position the TV face up on a blanket with the bottom hanging down to assemble the stand. The setup was easy, and we love the picture quality and smart TV options. Sometimes we use the HDMI cable with a laptop and sometimes the Ethernet cable to view Web-based content.

    For those of you wanting a big monitor, that is what I bought this TV for solely that purpose. This thing is amazing. I am coming from a 75hz, 4k, 28' Samsung monitor, and running this on a GTX 950ti. I can't believe how much better my experience is working or gaming. You simply cannot get a better experience at this price point if you want a large 4k monitor. My partner wants one now to replace her dual monitors. Here is what you need to know. 1 - It has Chroma 4:4:4 on "game" or graphics" modes only, which is CRITICAL for text if you plan to use as a monitor. 2 - 4k 60hz works great 3 - You do NOT want to buy the X85J to get 4k 120hz because it doesn't work. 4k 120hz halves the vertical resolution, so you pay more for a worse experience. 4 - There is no "standby" mode. You NEED to disable shutdown monitor in power settings in Windows, or it won't wake and you will have to unplug/replug the HMDI to bring it back. This also means you have to turn the TV on/off manually. 5- For me, 125% scaling looks perfect at 4k. 100% is too small for me to read comfortable at 4k.

    Very pleased with my television, and the price I got it for was excellent. I did a lot of research and the Sony top model for the 43 inch, is exactly what I was looking for. Still learning how to use all the features on it, since there’s so many. The picture quality is absolutely excellent, and I’ve seen no better on any other TV, of this class.

    Easiest setup I have ever done. The menu layout is much better than the Sony that this one replaced. I really liked that the speaker setup was based upon where I normally sit when watching TV. I have mine wall mounted. It would have been nice if the bolts that were used for the older model worked for this one. It did take a while to find the right combo of bolts and spacers for this one. The picture is very clear and the sound is very good. Overall, I would have to say that this is the best TV I have had.

    For the price and quality, you're really getting a good deal for what you're paying for. It's as close as you can get to the bigger and better models from top brands without paying a ridiculous amount for decent quality. This TV delivers a great picture (after some initial adjustments) with HDR10. I have no complaints with this TV, as the contrast is really nice, except that blacks are pretty gray. But other than that, solid all around.

    The remote is comically enormous. Every time I pick it up, its like picking up a ruler with buttons and it's all i can think about. No remote has a reasonable explanation for being this huge, especially a remote for a 43". It's well balanced, and light weight, but the dang thing is almost a foot long lol The being said, this tv is really stinkin nice. The color is beautiful. The image quality is top notch, and it plays games flawlessly. The system is expansive, and the sound is pretty darn good compared to other tvs I've tried.

    I've always been addicted to Sony TV's since I purchased my first 13" color tv in 1976. I've had extraordinary luck with their longevity and their picture ever since. In purchased one of Sony's first LED backlit LCD tv's 18 years ago and it still is as good as the day the Geek Squad came out and set it up. Now I have this new smart TV in my bedroom and do not have to sit at my desktop to watch all the + channels I purchased. It's great.

    The picture is good and the setup is easy. This 4K TV is good because it allows you to adjust the settings to satisfy your desires. If you have a family that plays video games like the PS5 or XBOX it doesn't have the HDMI 2.1 port to support them. I suggest that you get a QUALITY MOUNT (Mounting Dream TV Mount with Sliding Design for 42-70 Inch TVs, Easy for TV Centering on Wall, Full Motion TV Wall Mount Fits Most Smart OLED TVs - Easy to Install on 16"~ 24" Studs, Extend to 19")
