Liking it!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a screen that I could also use for PC gaming. This is a good option that won't break the bank. With (native) resolution you can get 60hz from your pc, if you lower the resolution, you can get 120hz. Still, this TV is fast & responsive: loading & searching, very smooth. I purchased an "open box excellent." I live in Maui, no store here, shipping was fast, screen is perfect. Keep it up bb!

The TV your PS5 has been asking for
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An excellent screen. I've used Samsung tvs for around a decade, but after encountering a backlight issue on my last samsung tv, I gave Sony a try, and I'm glad for it. This tv, other than a slightly dim edge, gives a mindblowing image. It can be tricky to set up for gaming on a ps5 (use hdmi 4!), but once set up it is a dream. Brilliant reds, pitch blacks, pure whites. No noticeable ghosting of frames. Strangely, the sound impressed me most. Deep range, with a 3d effect that is second to none (other than actual speakers).

Excellent TV for my needs.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love everything about this TV. Interface is snappy, app selection is great, and picture is amazing, my only regret was not getting something a little bigger (but that's hardly the fault of the TV!!) While I am rating this high, I can't honestly comment on the sound, I tend to use headphones at all times, but the bluetooth connectivity for my headset works flawlessly as well.

Great overall TV but one caveat
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded a Samsung 6 series to the Sony X85K and I have to say I’m impressed. Pros: I love the picture quality on this TV. Great for the PS5 which displays 120 Hz at 4K with VRR support with Ports 3 and 4!! Also great for watching sports and 4K movies. The sound is great but better with a sound bar. Cons: One problem I’ve faced is that sometimes after having the TV off for a while (sleep and wake up to turn it on, or coming home from work to turn it on) it takes a frustratingly long time for the screen to show, even though I hear audio. A few times I have to unplug the TV for 15 seconds and plug it back in to turn it on. It may be a pet peeve to some, which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5. Overall it’s a great TV for the price and if you have a PS5 or an XBox SX.

Posted .Hi Primo, We're happy to hear that you love the picture and sound quality. The TV needs a couple of minutes to initialize after the TV power cord is plugged in. The power buttons on the TV and the remote won't work during this short period of time, and the LED or illumination LED won't light up right away. This is normal operation.

Best gaming tv ive owned
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This tv is awesome! Everything worked like it said, not a single flaw YET. I love the 120hz(fps) for both the ps5 and Series x, It has better Compatiblity features for the ps5 because its from SONY but all around its amazing, Even for watching tv the 4k hdr10 and dolby audio is AMAZING! For the $640 tax included, ITS TOTALLY worth it! 43 inch but in person seems way bigger

Good picture and solid build, one annoyance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good picture, solid build. I have it mounted on a heavy-duty Ergotron wall-mounted arm, so it can be rotated to suit whoever is watching. Only minor complaint is that it starts from a Google TV advertising screen. Irritating. But I hear many of the TVs do that now. Since the TV was not free, it does not seem fair to have to tolerate advertising every time I turn the TV on.

Must buy for travel trailer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding picture, great price and the durability is incredible. I will no longer buy Samsung TVs after 15 years of dedication because the product is not durable. One would say fragile. So, when I wanted a TV for my travel trailer, I bought the Sony Bravia 43". I move it from inside outside different areas all the time and re-box it for travel and not one issue. A must buy for a travel trailer. With Starlink and Direct Tv Stream.
