Opinions from the Sony KDL-43WF665

Rating: 5 out of 5
Advantages: -Of course, the Image is, first of all, for which I bought (of course, on analogue channels, the quality will not reveal itself, and even on the usual figure, but if you watch 1080 films, then this is beauty! -The sound is generally good (although there is only 5W) suits the speed of work in general - how it opens BDRemux films of 17 gigs and reads everything up to the speed of Smart (it is clear that here it is cut down and it works even faster on Samsung), but it suits us.-There is an output 3.5 (I connected the Sub and speakers - everything is clear) -Design of course (for me it is excellent) -Probably you can attribute the viewing angles here due to the IPS matrix (here, of course, many choose the VA matrix - it seems more contrast, brighter, well, and most importantly at night Black is Black, not gray, but I am quite satisfied with IPS! The colors are more colorful and often they look at me at an angle of it (not always directly) and there is no distortion, a dull picture.-wi-fi catches well, in general - the router is in another room, works on 2.4 frequency (5, as I understand it, there is no Unfortunately, but for the future I want to connect a TV set via a wire - so that it is faster and more stable). And so with Megogo FullHD it plays movies perfectly without any lags (but again it depends on the equipment and Internet provider) (I still have InterZet)
Disadvantages: In general, a sick and chewed-up topic about 50 hertz and jitter in dynamic scenes, or rather panoramic ones. Here, yes, there is undoubtedly such a problem !! Twitches and pulsates. The float is not working! Allegedly, it rises to 400 Hertz here. If, of course, you take a TV set with pure 100-120 hertz - then of course the difference is very noticeable! I knew of course about this minus, I went to the shops to look more than once, but for the sake of the picture I chose Sony all the same. In general, when watching films, it happens that you don't pay attention to this and there are not often such scenes (most of all, this is visible, as I wrote, with panoramic scenes) I hope in the future manufacturers will not shove a bunch of unnecessary things, but raise the frequency from 50 to 100 ( although, unfortunately, the price will grow decently)) Well, you can probably add about the incomprehensible Led motion function, when you turn it on, the TV set becomes darker and flickers appear - it's interesting to hear the manufacturer's answer (how they watch it!)
Comment: In general, of course, more positive emotions. (I took for 33 thousand normal Fulk already almost and not to find). The image pleases, there is enough sound (if you wish, you can connect external speakers), I think I will somehow get used to the shortcomings of 50 Hertz over time, or save up already for OLED Telek with normal hertz. Again, they wrote that they compared a bunch of TV sets and Samsung or LG have everything OK there with the dynamics, although the new Fulki Samsung, such as the N5570 and similar ones, also cut down the float there, rather it is not there, the M version was better of course. I myself am very picky and chose a TV set for probably 3 weeks. At first I thought about 4k and almost bought Samsung nu7100, but since 4k content is a problem so far, I don’t want to pay a lot of money to watch 4k on any services or download movies of 50 gigs .. Especially if you watch from afar (about 3 meters, then everything is clear of course .. Moreover, 4k TV set is very soapy on ordinary digital channels, and it would make sense to take it if I played a lot with consoles, and so .. Well, at first, you still need to be a little shamanistic with the image settings.In general, as they say, by default it seems like nothing goes, but in order for the picture to be more contrasting and colorful - I still put the Bright mode (and I already set it up there) I even went to forkplayer, but there is basically a dump (of course, if you want, you can find something), but there is a lot of crap, and you have to press 5-6 times to enter the forkplayer itself. In general, while on the action I paid 1 ruble of Megogo tariff Maximum, let's see for a month, and then we will look for an option play. And so in Megogo there are 21 free channels (6 pomoimu HD which) and in the Megafon application there are 50 channels, but it seemed to me that in Megogo they are better. I apologize, of course, for the scribbling, which is so much .. but I tried to outline everything in general .. Of course, I did not bother with the estimate (because of the same 50 hertz or something else). In general, for the price they bought it - a great option! I chose, I was looking for a TV set for probably 3 weeks. And so far we are very happy with it

Advantages: The most gorgeous picture, lively, rich. Convenient interface
Disadvantages: The sound is not very loud, there are not enough slots
Comment: I bought this TV and I'm not overjoyed at the picture, for me FullHD is better and I don't need (4K, 8K, etc.,) Good, high-quality Malaysian assembly, rich real colors (there is something to compare Samsung, LG with) I bought this TV after watching a lot reviews about it and choosing the necessary characteristics for myself, I settled on it. Nothing superfluous, no 4K and 8K, which the human eye can hardly distinguish from a picture in FullHD resolution.

Advantages: The picture is just a fairy tale! After all the Kaluga "Samsung" this SONY is a delight for the eyes! So juicy, clean picture - I've been enjoying it for over a year! The sound is also good, but here without the bells and whistles - just normal. The frame is very thin - it looks stylish, although the plastic is, of course, cheap. A bullet is an ordinary bar, a classic! Smart TV is simple, but everyone has it - I almost never use it. I haven't watched Russian zombokanals for fifteen years. I connected the TV set to the computer via HDMI - I twist American films and TV shows without ads from the computer.
Disadvantages: Sometimes the firmware hung up: I press "guide" - zero reaction, then it didn't react to the buttons - neither the remote control, nor on the case. I had to pull it out of the socket. Out of anger, I almost broke the TV set. Recently, in November 2019, an update flew in - perhaps something was fixed.
Comment: Assembly - Malaysia. I took in September 2018 for 34 sput. Worth the money - definitely!

Advantages: The image from any source at a height is the main reason why this manufacturer was chosen
Disadvantages: Does not disconnect external USB storage after turning off the TV-only remove from the connector. After manipulating the main menu or using smart TV, the TV does not respond to commands from the remote control for 15-30 seconds
Comment: In general, a wonderful TV-I am satisfied with a more than-excellent picture, good sound that is easy to improve with external acoustics, the necessary outputs are available, the smart works pretty well for my needs, the menu is very clear, nice design, but I hope the manufacturer will correct small shortcomings with his subsequent software updates

Advantages: the TV has a Linux system, not an android; clear loud customizable sound, decent image for Full HD, convenient remote control, price of 35,000 rubles for a diagonal of 43 *, keeps wi-fi connection well when connected to the Internet.
Disadvantages: There is only one drawback - the frame rate is 50Hz; when watching football during the running of players and sudden movements, brakes and trains are visible. I think the new firmware can remove this little flaw)))
Comment: I don't understand why they write about bad sound, the sound for such a diagonal and the price is excellent; look under the bottom of the TV and see what speakers are there, for you I was not too lazy and turned off the TV set, put it on its back and took a photo. With a fair exchange rate of the ruble, the price of this TV would be around 15,000 rubles, which is quite normal. If we talk about 4K format, then there is little content for it and the price is high; and TV with such processors and microcircuits are more computers than just TVs. Who does not need a TV with excessive functionality and overpriced will take this one. I will be very happy if Sony sells me another device in installments, which is not available in Russia. Which one? I will write to their employees personally if they are interested and will contact me)) Thank you Sony, all the best !!!

Alexander I.
Advantages: Excellent image, excellent brightness, detailed picture, excellent TV for its price, I did not even expect that it has 1080 resolution, but it shows. Control on the remote control is convenient and recognizable. I have a Sony TV for about 10 years, and they have similar remotes, you don't even have to get used to a new remote. The menu is simple and convenient, the settings are simple and straightforward. It is possible to connect speakers. SMART speed is excellent, Films are shown perfectly via the Internet, it does not slow down, like its neighbor LG. Very decent for an entry-level TV. I was surprised by the assembly, everything is clear, the body is thin, the frame is thin, the power supply is separate - it's very cool and practical. In general, I recommend)))) !.
Disadvantages: did not immediately understand how to connect the phone to the TV, but I did it for the first time. in opera tv, half of the applications are unnecessary, they can be used in YouTube anyway, Internet TV (ss ip tv) asks for a link that I cannot find.
Comment: When I came to the store of a well-known company to everyone, I was offered a TV from LG, SAMSUNG, SONY, since these brands are the most popular. I asked to compare TVs with the same clips, and I was surprised that SONY at 1080P is 2 times better than LG 4K, SAMSUNG seemed pale, but it is also better than LG. Conclusion: I take SONY and it was right, because the image is just great.
