Great TV
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This TV has great picture. Colors are very accurate and picture is sharp and bright. Love the picture quality. Not ecstatic about the Google OS but not a big deal. Menus are easy to navigate and setup was fairly easy and straightforward. Not exactly cheap and couple hundred more than I had wanted to pay for a new set, but currently happy that I spent the extra money for this set.

Great but not the best.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The tv overall is amazing. The viewing angle not so much. But thats probably because I got a 43in instead of a bigger model. The colors after a little adjusting are vivid. Though it seems most of the screen is the same color though part of the right hand side is lighter. I believe this is due to viewing angle. Least that is what I hope. If you can afford it the tv is good, yet if you have the money I'd recommend the x90j more. My bestbuy just didn't have it in the size I wanted.

Hung in a corner, creating great sound and picture
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased a great new t.v. It was delivered in short order and hung comfortably in a corner of a cozy family room. Two very competent young fellows hung it and made needed explanations concerning my working everything about it. It looks beautiful, at a lower level to be easy on everyone’s neck, is easy to operate, and sounds out of this world!

Perfect for gaming
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I took a cheaper tv back to get this and hoped it would be better than the cheaper model. I was not disappointed. My ps5, series x and switch look great on it. Smooth as i could have imagined. No lag and surprisingly good sound. 120 hz and 2 hdmi 2.1 ports with 2 other hdmi ports that werent 2.1 for a total of 4 ports.

43 inch still too big for competitive gaming
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this tv to use with an Xbox Series X hoping the 43 inch size would be okay. I ended up returning due to being just tok big for competitive gaming. However the tv as a tv was great. Smart features are better than our living room Samsung, MUCH easier to use. Picture quality was fine and sound was actu6 pretty good. If this was a bedroom tv for someone that casually plays games this thing is perfect.

Great Value for 4k/120hz
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up the 2 stands, TV sets up fairly easily and looks great without much adjustment of the settings. Hooked up to a PS5 playing far cry 6 is easily the best viewing experience I've had since coming from 1080. Great value for the money if you want to stay at 43' in size and not go larger.

Sony X85J 43" TV - Perfection In Every Way!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What a superb picture on this Sony 43" X85J TV! The store had this one and several others in this size category on display. I was looking at them all when this one caught my eye. The picture literally popped out at me - beautifully brilliant and crystal clear! All the others, compared to this Sony, looked like they had a film over the screen. No comparison. I know this particular model is more expensive than the other brands of 40-43" models but trust me it's worth every penny if you want that perfect picture! I did get it for $649.99 on sale. I own the 85" Sony X950H and this TV matches it in picture quality to a T. It has many apps built right in which is so convenient. If you are fussy like me and want the best, this TV is the one for you! I just love mine and highly recommend.

Fantastic Value
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic TV at a great price ($599). Beautiful picture with deep blacks, great contrast, and excellent HDR capability. Superb gaming on my Xbox Series X. Two 2.1 HDMI inputs with 120hz at 4K is perfect. A really exceptional TV. Just the right size for my office.

Best spec 43" TV with one critical flaw
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Walk into a Best Buy showroom and checkout the lineup of 40-43" TVs. The X85J will easily stand out as the most amazing picture in the group. Pros: -4k and 120Hz make it a great screen for gaming. -Contrast is amazing! This is my first time with a VA panel TV. The blacks are so dark you may think the TV turned off during a loading screen. -4 HDMI ports. A lot of TVs these days come with only 2 or 3 HDMI ports. I use all 4 (and still have to use a HDMI switch to get all my electronics connected). -Quick to turn on/off. -Surprisingly good sound. No modern TV is going to have 5-star sound, especially when they no longer use front-facing speakers. Some may still opt to use a separate speaker system, but I find the 2x10w speakers included here work well enough in a bedroom. (Note: try turning off surround sound in settings to see if it improves the audio for you) -Brightness. Max brightness is level 50. I use level 10 for tv/movies and 20-25 for gaming. Cons: -Dark corners. Think vignette effect. All four corners of the screen are like this. It's very noticeable and a critical flaw of this TV. I find it distracting and will check out other TV models to see if other brands fare better. Without this issue, I would have been completely satisfied with this TV. -Cost. This is the most expensive 43" TV I've seen.
