Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

BRAVIA 6 can deliver a lot of viewing pleasure, especially in the evening when the advantages of the OLED panel are most visible. Deep blacks, good contrast and natural colors after calibration make it easy to appreciate its picture with the right material. It also performs well for console gaming: it provides smooth motion and responds quickly to controller input. It's also nice to see four full ...

Verdict:

The Sony Bravia 3 II is a TV that quickly reveals what the manufacturer had in mind for this model. It's meant above all to be a sensible Bravia for gaming, and in that respect the changes are substantial. After all, Sony fixed one of the biggest complaints about its TVs: having only two full HDMI 2.1 ports. Here there are four, and that alone makes the Bravia 3 II a much more convenient choice fo...

Technology: LCD VA, Mini-LED RGB

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 7 II is a TV that shows RGB Mini-LED doesn’t have to be reserved only for the wealthiest customers. And although in a few places you can see it sits below the Bravia 9 II, in everyday use it doesn’t feel like a heavily stripped-down model. The biggest contribution comes from the combination of very good black levels, high brightness and Sony’s excellent algorithms. As a result the pict...

Technology: LCD VA, RGB MINI-LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 9 II is, without a doubt, one of the most advanced TVs that has ever passed through our editorial office. The Japanese have built a real beast, using a completely new RGB Mini-LED backlight design they call True RGB. But the technology alone is only half the success. Only combined with Sony’s years-refined image processing algorithms did a TV emerge that is closer to the director’s vis...

Technology: LCD IPS, PFS LED

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 3 is a television that brings several important improvements over its predecessor, while still staying true to its core. The biggest change is the design – slim bezels and solid metal legs make it look modern and fit much better in a living room than the X75WL. Improved colors thanks to the PFS filter and really good upscaling are also a plus. It is in lower-quality content, especially...

Verdict:

Sony Bravia 5 is a continuation of the iconic model X90L, and you can see that the manufacturer wanted to take a step forward. A greater number of dimming zones have been used, which makes the contrast seem better in many scenes, and the blacks deeper than those in its predecessor. The 120 Hz matrix and MotionFlow system allow you to adjust the smoothness of the picture to your personal preference...

Technology: LCD VA, PFS LED

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Sony X90L is a higher-end model from the Japanese manufacturer, which premiered in 2023 but will continue successfully in 2024 as well. The Sony brand and the name Bravia are associated with excellent picture quality, and this model confirms that reputation – it offers great brightness and very good black levels. Despite having fewer local dimming zones than its competitors, it makes up for it wit...

Brand: SONY

Verdict:

Testing the Sony Bravia 7, we quickly noticed that this TV can do quite a lot. Although it is the "lowest" model from the Japanese manufacturer in the new 2024 lineup, it certainly doesn’t feel like a compromise. The picture impressed us with its deep blacks and the detail in bright scenes – thanks to Mini LED technology, which makes a difference. When we played movies in Dolby Vision, it was imme...

The Sony Bravia 9 is undoubtedly a top-tier product, with no hesitation in declaring it one of the best on the market. The manufacturer has clearly invested a great deal of effort into perfecting the dimming algorithms, ensuring they perform flawlessly. This results in an incredibly deep black and a strikingly vivid image. In HDR effects, the television excels, offering over 2000 nits of peak brig...
