Sony 43" BRAVIA X85J HDMI Ports?

Has anyone tried out the Sony 43" BRAVIA X85J TV? I'm curious about its HDMI ports and capabilities.

Hi @Bama1996, I have one. The Sony 43" BRAVIA X85J has four HDMI ports in total, with two of them being HDMI 2.1 ports and the other two being HDMI 2.0 ports. I found a great article about it HDMI Capabilities of the Sony 43" BRAVIA X85J TV. It's been really helpful.

That's awesome! Thanks for the info, @HabaneroSauce. So, which devices should I connect to the HDMI 2.1 ports then?

Well, if you're using a gaming console or a PC with high refresh rate requirements, it would be best to connect those to the HDMI 2.1 ports. For other devices like Blu-ray players and soundbars, you can use the HDMI 2.0 ports.

I'm considering getting this TV. What about eARC support? Does it have that?

Hi @StructurallySound! Yes, the Sony 43" BRAVIA X85J does support Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC). You can find more information in this article HDMI Capabilities of the Sony 43" BRAVIA X85J TV.

Great to know, @lillydo0808. Thanks for the link!

I'm really happy with my TV so far! The picture quality is amazing and the HDMI ports are very useful.

They definitely are. It's nice having a mix of both HDMI 2.0 and 2.1 ports for different devices.

Yeah, I'll probably go ahead and buy it then. Thanks for all the help!
