Very satisfied with the Sony KD-43X81K. I recommend this TV!
26 July 2023 
I purchased this TV at the beginning of January 2023 from the Foxtrot store. Specifically, I exchanged the Samsung QE-50Q60B TV (50" for 27,500 UAH) bought right before the New Year for a Sony KD-43X81K (43" for 26,000 UAH)., the price difference was returned to me in cash.. I indicated the reason for returning the Samsung QE-50Q60B in the form - the size wasn't suitable.

Indeed, the size was too large for my room; it didn't fit in the designated wall space (between two windows), and watching a 50" TV from a distance of 2.5m was constantly stressful. I realize I should have thought of it beforehand, but during the purchase, I was led more by emotions from the large TV...).

However, size wasn't the only reason for replacing the TV. The Samsung had an unrealistically intense color palette that couldn't be adjusted; I watched advice on YouTube, etc., but it didn't help. The viewing experience was just "eye-burning" with the Samsung. In the Samsung's red color, I noticed the blending of shades, meaning a lighter and a darker shade next to each other appeared as one... But, if the color saturation was decreased to a low level, it was evident there were two different shades...

So, after using the Samsung for 10 days, I decided to return it...

On average, I watch the Sony KD-43X81K for about 5 hours every day for more than half a year now... I didn't observe any freezes or glitches for almost 7 months. During this time, there were a few updates. Everything works great... (except for YouTube's voice search). The picture is simply gorgeous, and it doesn't strain the eyes like the Samsung did.
DISPLAY: clear and bright. The brightness is ample with room to spare. Really like the color palette, the colors are crisp. Black is truly black, and white is truly white. A large range of adjustment. I use the standard color settings as they are most pleasant for the eyes.
SOUND: clear, with plenty of power, offering a sense of volume, and the bass is on point too. The adjustment is convenient (adaptive, accelerates).
SMART MENU: convenient, you can customize the desktop "to suit yourself." It’s possible to create several accounts at the same time. You don’t need to enter the login and password each time you switch accounts.
REMOTE: uses AAA batteries (2 pieces), which were included. It's quite convenient; I quickly got used to controlling it without looking at the remote every time. The buttons are rubberized and don't "click" when pressed. There are quick-access buttons for YouTube, Netflix, and more (not through the menu).
The TV legs are sturdy—metal with a rubberized surface (NOT plastic), they fix well and hold the TV confidently! Compared to Samsung, it’s like night and day...
Built-in T2: captures channels clearly. Some channels display perfectly, as if on IP-TV (depending on the channel itself). Channels don't "drop off"! Because, before, on the Trimax TR-2012HD PVR tuner with my old TV, the signal sometimes disappeared with the same external antenna.
Wi-Fi works flawlessly. It quickly finds the phone and connects (but on the phone, the same Wi-Fi network needs to be turned on too).
Voice control works only for searching through the TV menu. Voice search on YouTube does not work..(
DIMENSIONS: the depth (thickness) of the TV is almost 7 cm. However, because of this, the speakers are quite powerful, delivering decent bass... The bezels are far from minimal, especially at the bottom...
