Sony K-43S22GM2

The Sony K-43S22GM2 and Sony K-43S22M2 are closely matched 43-inch 4K Google TVs with the same core display, audio, connectivity and smart features. Both use a 4K UHD Direct LED panel, 4K Processor X1, HDR10, Dolby Atmos, four HDMI 2.1 ports, Wi-Fi 6 and ALLM for gaming. The main specification difference is Sony’s motion enhancement rating: the K-43S22GM2 uses Motionflow XR 100, while the K-43S22M2 is rated at Motionflow XR 200. However, both have a native 50 Hz refresh rate, so the practical difference for most buyers is likely to be limited. Overall, these TVs offer very similar performance.

Verdict

The Sony K-43S22M2 gets the edge on paper because it features Motionflow XR 200 compared with XR 100 on the K-43S22GM2. That said, both TVs share the same native 50 Hz panel, 4K Processor X1, HDR support, Dolby Atmos, Google TV platform and gaming features. Choose the K-43S22M2 if motion processing is your priority; otherwise, the K-43S22GM2 is the better choice if it is available at a lower price.
