Unreliable – Smart Tv that’s not smart. Sony after sales service is slow and unhelpful . At Year 3 some apps stopped working (eg Binge), so I had to buy Google Chromecast to compensate. At Year 6 the screen went black. Sony service agent (overseas call centre) was robotic and unhelpful. Took 3 days just to get name of local repairer. Threw TV out. Never again Sony.
Buzzing standby noise - annoying – The TV is great and has a high quality picture but since being gifted the TV it's been buzzing non-stop. 6 months in it developed a slight buzz noise.. not too noticeable so that's OK.. 2 years later the buzzing noise when the TV is on stand-by (off) is so loud that I can't have it in my bedroom anymore without having to switch it off from the… Read more
power point. It's incredible surprising that this sort of thing happens with Sony TV's... Is this due to cheap / faulty capacitors?
Great Tv for ps4 pro – I bought the Tv strictly for my ps4 pro, and lemme tell ya it looks awesome. With xreality pro enhancements and HDR compatibility, this 4k tv pushed my pro to its limit. Last of us 2 looks awesome! Show details
Worst than my analogue watch – How could sony manufacturer this kinda joke. Unbelievable! Worst ever. Not a android by any means, only a very few number of apps. Even Software update didnt improve its quality!!!
Great tv, intuitive and good picture – The smart tv is far superior than on our Samsung tv. Easy to use and better functionality in comparison. Love the quick buttons to Netflix, makes it easier for the old folks. For our needs the tv has plenty of HDMI ports. Enough for the PlayStation, Apple TV and Foxtel. Show details

A little disappointed! – The picture quality is OK, but I have seen better, and the sound needs improving.Comparing to what I have seen, even in a lot cheaper TVs,the colour is a lot less vivid, and you have to keep changing the sound level depending on the show, movie ect.I am disappointed,as their usually reliable quality.

Extremely happy with this product – I purchased this TV for my husband for Christmas for gaming. We are very happy with the picture quality. The picture is sharp, bright and clear which is perfect for gaming. The built in speakers are fantastic and better than I expected. The TV has enough ports for what we use it for (gaming).

Sony big time – No doubt Sony is the best I always like Sony products anyway, The picture is real, I found it easy to use remote and for navigation too,I will recommend it to all TV lovers, the sound is excellent too, you can set timer easy as well, looks great from front. Show details
Great TV! – This Sony tv has great quality picture, and decent built-in sound. I enjoy using the Smart TV apps especially Netflix, Stan, Youtube although sometimes it may be a bit slow. I also like the screen mirroring it can do with my iphone and Mac laptop. I have this TV in my room and it is the perfect size. Show details
Affordable 4K Small TV for a study room – I like the design and the picture on this TV looks great and clear. It is mostly for playing my PS4 and watching Youtube. The built-in speaker is good enough. Only wish it has a better OS and more build in App. The browser in the OS is not very user-friendly but I can connect to my laptop with the HDMI cable for browsing internet. Show details
This Sony BRAVIA model (KD-43X7000E) is bad on HDMI port function – I connect my UNBLOCK TECH box to KD-43X7000E BRAVIA TV via HDMI cable, it never works, I have followed so many suggestions from the forums on the internet, they never work. I have two older Sony BRAVIA TVs, their HDMI ports all work perfectly. This new Sony BRAVIA KD-43X7000E TV is really bad on HDMI ports. Who can help??? Show details
Really nice TV – I was tossing up between a Samsung LED TV and this Sony model and the salesperson recommended I go with the Sony as it had better picture/colour quality. I'm very glad that I followed his advice - this TV is so crisp and clear in picture quality and has great features. I find it very easy to use and am happy that it has the netflix and youtube functions (they come in handy!). The sound is great too. Show details

Smart TV with WiFi issues, big band with worst customer support – I bought this tv during Christmas holidays as we planned to spend holiday at home. The product has issues with connectivity. The customer support acknowledged the issue as a known bug but failed to help us with the fix. For last 2 weeks the TV isn't connecting to any internet applications which was precisely why I bought the TV.. the customer… Read more
support has been pathetic. They haven't just solved the issue or given us refund that we requested last week... they haven't even responded to our issues from last week.
Very good – The pictures are just too super good the technology is great. The speakers are second to none the quality voice are great, dual stereo, The unit has enough ports usb, HDMI, the remote control is very effective over range of distance. I am very satisfied with the operation system and app friendly Show details
Apps not working update: all problems due to internet connectivity – First of all, youtube application stopped to work, frequently and had to factory reset the tv every day.started using netflix, then both netflix and you tube stopped completely. Next, every application dissapeared one day. So cant access any apps, if tried to access netflix/ youtube on remote control it comes with error message " unable to load… Read more
the program.
So, when tried to access the internet, takes too long to connect to internet.cant easily access the opera browser through tv remote too as to type in each word from tv remote is too tedious process.
Got hold of customer care sony, after 1 hour on phone, was told tech support would call me, after 15 minutes, which never happened. So i called the same number, this time some other fella couldn't solve the issue after another 20minutes told me sony engineers would call me within 48 hours.
All this happened on friday 8december2017, i purchased this tv on 30november2017.So, waiting for the call on Monday.
Update:
My apologies, should have updated my review earlier. All issues had been resolved. The issues had been caused by slow/ lack of internet connection between tv and internet service provider, still cant find the logic between apps dissapearing and lack of internet connection though.
Anyway, still customer care didnot give proper solution to the issue as I sorted it all myself by swapping tv/ internet/ cables etc. All customer care could do was good involvement in trying to solve the issue by trying to contact me for a technician's visit to my house( which I refused).
Final Verdict:
Good quality tv, gets little hot in summer though, not any issues at all.finally,happy with it.
This product is good – Ilwe bought this TV from JB HI-FI in October after we moved in to a new place. The price for this pruduct was bit pricey. But we love the TV, the pictures is clear and in nice colours. Good size tv for the small place. The stand of the tv is steady enough for a small table. Show details
