I urge any prospective buyer to read their vicious returns policy. It's a 'simplified minefield' - you're not allowed too many wrong steps.
In other words, you can unpack it (and consider its mediocre aesthetics), but the moment you've plugged it in to set up and yes...evaluate its image quality, you're stuffed.
They will do anything imaginable to stop you from returning the tv if you, for whatever reason and fully within your rights, decide to change your mind. They wanted to retain 45% of the tv's price in my case, so I've had to put mine on eBay as a result. Needless to say, I won't be buying from them ever again.
Please consider alternative purchasing sources carefully if you'd rather avoid a mighty headache no to mention financial loss.

Re: the laggy comment
Disable Sony shelf and Sony select apps and turn off notifications for the apps
Install advanced task killer pro
Install SD maid pro
Install sideload launcher by chain fire
Turn off wireless if not using it
Turn off Bluetooth
Turn on developer mode and change animations to 0.5
Helps a lot

I wouldn't know much about the 43inch models, However I purchased the 49inch 8005CB two weeks ago from Tesco Direct and cannot fault it at all. The picture quality is crisp, terrific user interface and the colours are second to none. Blurriness, grain and flickering is certainly not an issue, Just played Mad Max on BR via PS4 and it looks great to me!

Got the 43in version of these and imo they are awful, picture quality sucks compared to my old JVC. Everything seems blurry, lots of grain and a lot of flickering. I plugged my PS4 in to play Mad Max and the picture was terrible. The smart menu and apps constantly freeze.. Avoid

You need more?
UK TV is broadcast at 50Hz so the TV is quadroupling the same frame 4 times to get this magical 200Hz rate. Often this image processing makes things look worse than better. fast action sports may benefit but don't get sucked into the numbers game. More Hz isn't a measurable reference when all the sources are typically at 50 or 60Hz. Some TV's may make a decent job (like this one) but 200Hz is plenty..... and the 600Hz you see from Panasonic are a bit of a technical swiz of sorts as only elements of the image are processed at 600Hz.
Hot deal as far as I can see.

Stupidly high refresh rates are largely nonsense, just gives that weird overly fluid motion effect. The TV is simply guessing the information for each frame above your source.

people eyes can not see the difference above 90-100 hz..that's just a number for you to spend more money on it :wink:

Thinking of buying the 43 inch version - have you updated the TV?

Not sure which 43in model you got but according to Sony Website this model (X8005) only comes in 49 or 55. Maybe yours is in a different range?

How old is the JVC in Question? JVC is now mostly sold Via Currys as an Entry-level brand of low quality and hasn't been a good brand for around 10 years now.

It really is a great deal. I paid full price for this television two weeks ago from Tesco Direct at £499 after hearing nothing but good things and I must say it really has lived up to the hype.

As far as I can tell, Sony don't even make this TV in 43", so not sure how the picture can be bad? They do do a 43" in the x83 series (kd43x8305), but that is a different model. Even then, the picture is excellent, and is rated at 900hz rather than the 200hz of this 49 incher.
There are lots of reported issues with the android software of Sony TV's, but picture quality is as good, and probably better than any of their rivals.

Initially and well for quite some time the Android problems ruined these TVs, they now have a reputation and even if people don't know of the reputation for problems, they probably haven't sold as well as they should and are heavily discounted now, that's my theory anyway :smiley:
The most crucial function of a TV is to function as a TV, this was broken for quite some time on Sony Android based models, video and audio out of sync, black screens and other issues. Shot them self in the foot using Android really. If you want a stable system you never use Android and I speak as an Android user.
