I hadn't realized how bad my picture was on my old tv. I was amazed at hoe sharp, clear they were on the new tv, and the colors a fantastic. The remote control is a bit too small for me, and still learning to navigate, but over all, I'm very happy with it.

For this smaller size and for the high expectations of Sony. You really cannot beat for the price if you are needing a nice companion for a PS5 console. I also use it for my monitor (not pc gaming), 3D printing, and watch movies. I highly recommend if you plan on mounting this on the wall to do so before you do the setup. There is a sound calibration that is requested early that asks if this will be on desktop or mounted on wall. If you decide to do it later, make sure to change the settings afterwards because it does make a different how it produces sound in the room. I still like what the top tier tv market offer but for the size and the performance for what is needed. Size and performance does pack a good punch for the price tag.

Good TV for a PS5

I had an old Vizio TV that finally died. I decided to get this as a replacement -and as an upgrade, since I finally got a PS5.
Resolution is awesome, colors are awesome, and the games I’ve played look really good -and have a lot of particle effects (Ghostwire: Tokyo, The Elder Scrolls Online, and Final Fantasy 7: Remake).
I will say, however, that I had to mess with the ‘Motionflow’ settings when watching YouTube or movies -at default, there’s some weird uncanny movement…It kinda looks like everything is moving at 1.5x speed, while a couple of frames were missed at the same time. It’s kind of hard to describe, you know it when you see it.
Also, fair warning: If you set up VRR with a PS5 (on the HDMI 3 or HDMI 4 ports) your picture setting gets locked to ‘Game’ and you have to re-configure your video settings for all of your games. Display area, brightness, etc.

Hi Mack,
Thank you for telling us about your experience with your BRAVIA X85K. We're happy to hear that you are having an enjoyable gaming experience with this TV. On some screens, sports and fast action scenes go by in a blur. Our Motionflow XR refresh rate technology keeps movement smooth and clear, allowing fast moving action sequences in sports and movies to be seen with lifelike clarity which results in less motion blur and afterimage, more flowing motion. As a suggestion, you can configure various settings related to the TV display such as motionflow and cinemotion settings for picture quality to smooth out any content.
Make sure to also check the HDMI Signal Format of the TV. If the HDMI Signal format is set to Enhanced (VRR), it also limits the picture mode to GAME. For more information, please refer to this link: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00277404

Overall I'm very pleased with my Sony TV. The colors are outstanding and it is very easy to use. Some of the minor problems I have had is it will show no antenna connection warning even if the channel program is on. This warning doesn't go away after a minute or too. I might try another antenna and see if the problem continues. The other problem is that the TV guide doesn't show all the programs on. If you scan thru the channels it does show what the program is.
But as I said these are minor problems. Overall the TV has a great picture. Oh the other thing I like about the TV is that the connection panel is at the left side of the TV making it easy to plug in DVD player or a sound bar. I recommend checking the Sony TV out if you are shopping for a new TV.

Even though I’m not a TV know it all, I could tell straight away the difference in quality in this TV compared to my old one. Very easy to set up, the Ui is pretty simple and easy to use, and a simple remote controller that has everything you need on it. If I were to give a complaint, it would be that the brightness is a little inconsistent when I’m playing video games, then again I might need to learn the difference in quality when it comes to the brightness settings the TV has.

Pairs perfectly with my PS5. Loving the smooth 120 fps plugged into HDMI 3 or 4, as that will allow you to run your games at 120 fps with the 2.1 HDMI ports. Also, pairing my PS5 with the X85K allows me to turn on my tv without using the remote, just by switching on the system. :)
The stock speakers in this TV are great! In fact, they are the best speakers I have heard from a TV.
Super easy to set-up as well!
This is my review and I hope it helps. :)

Great TV! I am using as a computer monitor, and it is amazing to do work on this screen.
You do pay the Sony tax, so this is a little on the expensive side compared to other 43" options. But I am amazed by the image quality, especially the black levels, and color. The backlight makes the difference in quality, even though it makes the device a little on the thicker side.
I was using a Vizio QLED 43", and the Sony has just elevated every aspect of the viewing experience. If you have the extra $$ and quality is important for you, get this Sony TV.

Took a bit of time investigating the options/alternatives. Read the reviews, comparison analysis, customer feed-backs etc.
Decided to get a "personal" take of the BB sales personal - stopped by the local store. Had an amazing time discussing the pros/cons of diff brands, models etc.
Settled on this Sony model and so far it's been awesome: easy setup, awesome pic quality, great builtin speakers (for the TV - although I use my external soundbar).
Extremely satisfied with the product AND (more importantly) with the support/explanations/discussion of the BB sales personal.
Highly recommend.

It's a Sony, so we knew that we would get a quality product. This TV actually replaced another brand where that TV just quit working. I installed the TV this weekend for my daughter and she has told me numerous times how great the TV is. It was a snap to install it on the pre-existing wall mount system. For TV's, I only buy Sony because of the Quality and I always buy at Best Buy because of the ease of service and helpfulness of all the staff. Thank you!

Very nice tv to use with a PC when you want to see 4K videos. We replaced our old Vizio, which was starting to not recover gracefully from power outages. That one couldn't handle anything over 1080i resolution. You need to fiddle with the settings to get the best upscaling results, but it's worth it. An OLED would be better, but it would cost twice as much. The sound is good, but won't fool you into thinking it's a sound bar. Despite what I've read about TN panels being fussy about viewing angles, it doesn't seem like a problem to me. I hate the legs - they are too wide for our little table, so we bought a stand.

This TV is really beautiful. The image quality is amazing. It was fairly easy to set up. I used Google Home for the set up, which means I can control the volume with my phone as well as the remote. One thing I couldn't tell from the showroom was how good the speakers were. For built in speakers, they are high quality. Worth the price all around.

I am normally a Samsung guy but I got the most recent 4K model from Samsung(Q60B) and that TV was a massive disappointment. It was so bad that in a dark room it was unwatchable with films that had any amount of darkness due to the massive light blooming. So I returned it and got this Sony instead. And I have been blown away by it so far.
The middling reviews from online sites don't do this unit justice. Once you get the right settings in place? It really pops. The contrast, detail and color are all really solid. Little to no light blooming either in dark rooms. It upconverts nicely and the Dolby Vision is awesome. I never owned a TV with DV before and I can't get enough of the feature now. It really does make a difference.
As for sound? The sound from the TV is pretty mediocre but I have a high end soundbar to make up for that. The fact that it can handle both Dolby Atmos and all the DTS signals is a huge plus. As for the streaming apps? They worked fine for me. But I am using a direct ethernet connection.
I see why some folks go with Sony for their TVs now. It's night and day compared to what I have had previously. For a QLED? It really excels compared to the other competitors. Highly recommended.

Very nice tv overall. Picture is great and sound is good. Would have been nice to have a choice to mount the feet closer together. It has 120 hz, which is a must for gaming. Sony quality (no other brand does as good at upscaling). This model has been discontinued. Replacement Sony Bravia 3 is not as good, with only 60hz refresh rate.
