      Hi Thomas,

      Thank you for your review, and we are sorry if our KD-43X85K didn't live up to your expectations. We truly appreciate your input with the height of the TV when using the supplied TV stand and the availability of Xfinity Stream TV app. It is unfortunate to hear that you had to purchase an external device to access this application. Aside from using an external device, if your phone or tablet supports Chromecast, you can also use this feature from the Xfinity Stream TV app to cast your content to this TV.

    I really do not like this TV. And I'm a Sony fanboy with 2, PS5's... The Google TV experience ruins this TV. It is not Android TV. You can not even put Google Play app on your screen with other apps. I tried third party launchers and it's still a mess. I have no use for the live tv, and do not use streaming apps. The speakers are Sony good and earn 1 star. The picture sitting right next to Hisense TV is the same. Not worth the price difference. I will not buy Sony TV again until they get rid of Google.
