Do not buy for PC use! 120HZ mode drops pixels.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to use with a PC for gaming and productivity. I currently use a Samsung 43" 60HZ (TU7000) which has inky smooth PC picture, but I wanted the 120HZ for gaming. Sony doesn't come close to this clarity on 60HZ mode, but is OK. After this TV is switched to 120HZ mode it is horrible and drops 1/2 the pixels. Totally unusable. Using an HDMI 2.1 cable does not help at all. If all you want this for is to watch movies, and for PS5 games its probably good for that.

Posted .Hi TechJunkie,
Thank you for your review. It is unfortunate that you are having a picture issue with your KD-43X85K when using a PC. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have with our premium TV. We'd like to help you troubleshoot the problem. What HDMI port are you using for your PC? To get 4K/120 it must be port 3 or 4. Can you make sure you have enabled HDMI 3 or 4 to Enhanced and also on your PC display settings you need to use a customer PC resolution and then pick your desired Hz.
And for picture quality, this usually depends on the signal and content. We are not sure what brand/model of computer you have this TV connected to. However, if you haven't yet, please try adjusting the Motion settings of the TV as this may help improve your gaming/productivity experience:
Press the (Quick Settings) button on the remote control, and select [Settings] — [Display & Sound] — [Picture] — [Motion]
You may also try configuring various settings related to the TV display:

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Getting Color better is difficult for me. Also, I am unable to get the TV to turn on without clicking on the HDMI box on the screen with the TV remote instead of the Xfinity remote.

Good TV with the Sony tax
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a good tv, without much competition for its specs for the size (HDMI 2.1 120Hz at 43 inches), but you will definitely have to pay for it.
