Sony KD43XG8196BU review

- 43-inches

- 4K Ultra-HD
With its splayed right-angle feet the 43-inch KD43XG8196BU is an odd-looking TV, but we can overlook unusual design if the picture and sound quality bowl us over. It's a 4K TV on the lower end of the spectrum, but we've seen basic sets from Samsung and LG do well this year. Perhaps it's time for Sony get in on the action. Read our review to see if this is worth adding to your shortlist.
