#1 Sony Bravia 9 II
5.0

Picture quality earns near-universal praise for its blend of brightness, color, detail, contrast and Sony’s restrained processing.

Pros: overall satisfaction, overall image accuracy

Cons: value for money, bass performance

#2 Sony Bravia 7 II
4.7

Picture quality is the core attraction: vivid but controlled color, deep blacks, sharp detail and strong processing create a refined, dimensional image. A few critics prefer OLED or rival RGB...

Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality

Cons: HDMI 2.1 port count, reflection handling

#3 Sony BRAVIA 5
4.4

The TV's overall image is vivid, natural and finely processed, but brightness and shadow precision depend on screen size, preset and lighting.

Pros: picture quality, black levels

Cons: HDR brightness, value for money

#4 Sony Bravia 8 II
4.4

Picture quality is the defining strength: sharp, dimensional, colorful and cinematic across strong sources, with only bright-room and rival-brightness caveats.

Pros: gaming performance, peak brightness

Cons: HDMI 2.1 support, HDMI 2.1 port count

#5 Sony BRAVIA 2 II
4.3

Sharp, natural-looking images delight many everyday viewers, yet experts repeatedly find washed-out dark scenes and limited HDR impact.

Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction

Cons: sound quality, reliability

#6 Sony BRAVIA 3 II
4.3

Natural color and fine-detail processing make ordinary shows and daytime films pleasing to watch. More critical assessments find washed-out blacks and insufficient highlight punch on the 65-inch IPS model.

Pros: HDMI 2.1 port count, overall satisfaction

Cons: HDR performance, bass performance

#7 Sony BRAVIA 6 OLED
4.3

In the right room the OLED delivers beautiful blacks and attractive colors. Bright scenes, reflections, and weaker image processing prevent it from matching the best similarly priced TVs.

Pros: HDMI 2.1 port count, Video input versatility

Cons: value for money, overall satisfaction
