The technology used by television to display images.

Direct LED

Development of Edge LED where the LED lights, which provide illumination for the pixels of the television, are placed directly behind the panel in a sparse arrangement. Moderate performance of dark areas in the image.
Refresh Rate

The refresh rate is the number of frames per second that a TV can display and is expressed in hertz (Hz). Most TVs are 50/60 Hz, while some are 100 or 120 Hz. Higher frame rates offer smoother images (without stuttering or blurring) in fast-paced scenes such as sports or action movies.
HDR Types

Technologies that enhance contrast and color performance for a more realistic image. There are various HDR standards, such as HDR10, Dolby Vision, HLG, and HDR10+, with differences in quality and display capabilities.

Minus 2 stars because in this specific model, it is not possible or necessary to have a doctorate to classify the channels. Other than that, it is definitely of higher quality than other Chinese or Korean brands. Quite good image quality even at a wide angle.

Purchased at the end of February 2023 for €569 from Sony.
I will say the following:
Because I have been a customer of Sony for many years and having 5 televisions from the company, this purchase was not the best. The reason? You can't do the classic channel sorting, only if you create a list with your "Favorites" and sort them yourself. It took me about 3 hours to find it because even in this process, if you accidentally change the order of a channel, you have to start over. But the main problem is with channel switching, where the picture and sound freeze for about 5 seconds! I thought it was a problem with the TV, but they told me that's how it works and it's normal!! It really bothers me, especially on a new TV. Also, the picture quality is not good. Maybe I was too close due to settings adjustments. I should note that in '19 I bought another KD43 model for €380 and it has nothing to do with the menu or the issues I mentioned above. It was simpler, cheaper, with a classic menu and of course, smart. Now you have a menu like a classic Android box since the TV is Android and not just Smart. + The 2 problems I encountered. The only "positive" thing is that it has a nicer and larger remote control with wireless connection for the microphone to work with Google Assistant if I'm saying it correctly (compared to the previous model that didn't have it), but with very small buttons, which may bother some people.

P.S. Anyone planning to purchase this specific model should first ask if the sound and picture "freeze" during channel switching for 4-5 seconds until it stabilizes. It's a shame to get something that works "problematically" and is considered normal for Sony.

Positive:
+ Beautiful, vibrant colors with customizable parameters for everyone.
+ Strong brightness. No loss of daylight. Many options for optimal performance in bright and dark areas of the image.
+ Google software with everything that entails...
+ The remote control connects via Bluetooth and works from anywhere, with a built-in microphone.
+ Hbbtv is available.
+ Headphone input.

Negative:
- The remote control is quite long and some buttons are small.
- There is no option for a reminder on a channel so that when a program starts, it automatically changes.
- It has a 4.5 GB capacity BUT it gives you the option to use a USB stick or a hard drive as storage space. It can also transfer some applications there.
Overall, we are very satisfied. A very good choice at €569 from where we bought it.

Having just bought this in 43'' and also having a Samsung QLED, I would say it has a very good picture and sound (of course, the QLED is unbeatable in black scenes). It has perfect clarity, the only negative thing I noticed is the plastic back, which could be more sturdy (I read that it is made from recyclable materials) and beautiful like Samsung's. It is easy to use and browse, fast and does not lag at all.
