The last tv you’ll ever need.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my least expensive Sony and the best. Has 4 HDMI ports which is good for a small screen or any tv nowadays. Has great sound and picture on its own. Has a lot of features I never heard of. Voice activated and the apps load fast unlike Samsung 2022 model so can get newer apps. No complaints.

Get What You Pay For
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great TV. Bought if for kid's room. Have Sony's flagship TV from 2017 and 2022 in my household so this is like the "mini-me" at 43". Is it lacking some of the more fancy features? Yes it's a 43" however replaced my kid's TCL Roku 43" with this and it's night and day. Newborn gets the TCL Roku until they're old enough to notice or care lol.

Looks as good as our LG C1 OLED most of the time
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really happy with this. We got it for our bedroom, but after having it for a while, the picture quality seems just about as good as our main living room TV (LG C1 OLED) in most conditions. If you can get it on sale and you're looking for a 43" TV, this is the one to get.

Sony TV
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this 43" TV for our bedroom it's the same model # as the 60" TV in the living room so it's consistent viewing from either one. The TV is flicker free which is why I selected them since my wife is sensitive to flicker. The sound is good but we use soundbars.

Posted .Hi Domer64,
Thank you for purchasing the KD-43X85K. Glad to hear you like the amazing picture quality this TV delivers. We are so sorry, but there is no numpad on the K series remote control. It has a new standard remote with smaller, sleeker, less buttons and easy to clean. However, the supplied TV remote has 123 (Control menu) button. You can press this button, and it will display a menu on the TV to use button functions that are not on the remote control on the screen so you can easily enter a channel.
For more details about the supplied remote control functions, refer to this link: https://helpguide.sony.net/tv/jusltn1/v1/en-003/01-07-04_01.html

Posted .Amazing! You are correct, Logan! ! The KD-43X85K is perfect for PlayStation 5. Aside from the features specified in HDMI 2.1 (4K 120Hz/eARC- Enhanced Audio Return Channel/VRR - Variable Refresh Rate/ALLM - Auto Low Latency Mode), this TV supports the exclusive features for PlayStation 5 such as Auto Genre Picture Mode and Auto HDR Tone Mapping.
Auto Genre Picture Mode - BRAVIA automatically switches into Game mode to minimize input lag and make the action more responsive. When watching movies on PlayStation5® consoles, it switches back to Standard Mode to focus on picture processing for more expressive scenes. This function works when Auto Picture Mode is ON.
Auto HDR Tone Mapping - With Auto HDR Tone Mapping, the HDR settings will be optimized instantly during your PS5™ console’s initial setup. Your PS5™ automatically recognizes individual BRAVIA TV models and selects the best HDR setting for your TV accordingly. So even in high-contrast scenes, you’ll see the crucial details and color in the brightest and darkest parts of the screen.

43" perfection
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfectly paired with the xbox series X! Needed a console and tv in a bedroom and this delivered. It was hard to find a 43" with 120hz refresh. But 55" wasnt right in the space and we have a 75" and a 108" projector HD already. This was perfect

Nice picture if viewed directly forward
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This television has a very nice picture as long as you are sitting directly in front of it. Otherwise it has a very narrow viewing angle and if looked at from the side, the colors look faded and washed out

Perfect tv for the den/lot
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect TV to fit in our den/loft. Mainly bought it for the 120Hz support so that I can use it with my future purchase of gaming pc. Only two ports support 120Hz though. And some of the reviews indicate problems connecting to PC. Also does not support AMD Freesync. But seems to be a perfect tv for PS5.

Great for bedroom and study
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have ours wall mounted, perfect for our bedroom tv. Nice a bright, vivid picture and most software already loaded. Only downside is LG and Sony don't allow the spectrum app to be loaded. We went with Ruko and works just fine. We had the cable box mounted behind the TV, but added the Roku so no cables and I think it works better.
