Sony is Worth The Price

Sony Smart TV does not live up to it's reputation
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Sony 43" to be place in a built in media cabinet. There were connection issues with the LG Soundbar - even with a premium HDMI cable. The picture quality was between average and good. I have a 2010 Sony Bravia that has an excellent picture, but it is not a Smart TV. After several days, I returned this television and replaced it with a Samsung. I would not purchase again or recommend this television to a friend.

Posted .Hi Lulu,
Thank you for your review. It is unfortunate to hear that your X85K had to be returned. This is definitely not the news we'd like to hear from you. For connection issues, some of these problems can be fixed by performing the troubleshooting steps on these articles:

And for the picture quality, this usually depends on the signal and content. The good thing is that, the X85K features various settings related to the TV's display such as color and brightness for picture quality that be configured according to your preferences.

Posted .That's fantastic, Ryan!
We are extremely pleased it suits your needs. The KD-43X85K supports the exclusive features for PlayStation 5 such as Auto Genre Picture Mode and Auto HDR Tone Mapping that makes it perfect for gaming. 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.
