Verdict

The Sony KD-43X80J is a basic TV with limited gaming features and average dark room performance due to its low contrast ratio. However, it has a wide viewing angle and is a good choice for watching shows with friends. It is not the best for well-lit rooms due to its average peak brightness and reflection handling. It is highly recommended as a small TV to use as a PC monitor. Some users have reported issues with jitter if text is on the screen, and others have experienced a complete loss of picture after nine months. The TV has excellent color and sound quality, but dark scenes can be washed out due to high black levels. It is a great deal for a huge TV, but it is not OLED. Overall, the Sony KD-43X80J is a good TV for its price range, but it may not be the best option for those looking for the latest HDMI/HDCP and HDR options.
