Sony KD43X85JU 4k Smart TV reviewed

Consumer test and product review of the 43-inch 4k Smart LED TV Sony KD43X85JU

Black Friday 2021 is close and many of you would probably research for a new quality TV on a good price. Today we are taking a closer look at the Sony KD43X85JU which is one of our top recommendations due to the fact that it is a brand new model from a premium manufacturer. 

It is not a secret that we totally love Sony televisions and we have reviewed plenty so far. In the last 10 years we also owned few like the KDL 40WD650, the KDL-32EX650 and our latest purchase the 43XG7005. All of them offer great picture quality and actually all three of them are still working fine, without any issues whatsoever, so Sony TVs are definitely a good investment.
