Sony’s flagship RGB LED TV is incredible
The Sony Bravia 9 II is a new flagship RGB LED TV that offers significant improvements in brightness and dimming zones over its predecessor. While it delivers impressive picture quality, the reviewer questions whether the high price premium is justified for the average consumer.
Why it matters
It highlights the latest advancements in display technology and the ongoing trade-offs between premium performance and cost in the consumer electronics market.
The Sony Bravia 9 II is the most anticipated new TV in years. It’s an amazing RGB LED TV. I watched Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves on the new Bravia with my son, who has been getting into the roleplaying game but had never seen the movie. The landscapes of Faerûn looked natural and real, while the magic cast by the Red Wizards of Thay was vibrant and colorful. Specular highlights in HDR really pop. I saw it with Xenk’s glowing sword as he fought in the Underdark in Honor Among Thieves, but also in the explosions as Furiosa flees across the desert in Mad Max: Fury Road and the sun reflecting off the waves in The Meg.
