Samsung and LG received head start on Sony when they announced their 2025 TV in CES a few months ago. But now, the latter is mixing with the pending arrival of three new Bravyia sets, including a refreshing flagship QDOL LED, a midwife mini LED option and a latest budget replacement.
Before we enter specific models, it is important to note that after improving the name scheme for all our home theater gear last year, Sony is not restoring its entire lineup for 2025. Instead, it is introducing a handful of new TVs that will replace old models or will include some existing space in its current portfolio. This means that Bravia 9 will continue to make the company’s top -Terry TV, which is in line with everything else.
This brings us to Bravia 8 II, which you have guessed, is the place of Bravia 8 and it will be Sony’s most premium QDO LED TV. Like Bravia 9, it also includes the company’s XR processor that supports AI Sen’s identification tech to help protect details in difficult scenes. The way it works is that by analyzing your content, TV can compare it with a reference library of well -known backgrounds and samples to help fill any gap, which cannot be fully occupied by the source content.
I personally have the opportunity to see this AI trick and while the effect is fine, it certainly makes a difference during many plants, rocks or other challenging texture shots. I also saw that Bravia 8 II showed better tone mapping and very accurate color, resulting in more detailed and realistic images, especially in very bright or black shots. And of course, you get the beautiful dark black and the best contrast for which the modern QD Elide Panel is known.
By moving the line down, Bravia is 5, which fills the void clearly between Sony’s current 7 and 3 series TV. It offers a mini -LED panel driven by the company’s backlightmaster drive tech, which is reduced to digital noise and vice versa. The most important example I saw about this was the almost complete lack of halls or light blood when looking at bright items on the dark background. Another important thing is that Bravia is available in the size of up to 5 98 inches, which makes it one of Sony’s largest TV (including 83 -inch flagship Bravia 9).
Finally we come to Bravia 2 II, where the biggest change shifts to the full direct LED instead of the previous model, such as the edge light panel. It provides a lot of dynamic colors in addition to significantly wider views at the size of 43 to 75 inches. Like Sony’s other TV, its OS is powered by Google TV and involves an advanced to bring the old content to 4K. One of the major limitations of Bravia 2 II is that it only has a refresh rate of 60Hz.
Unfortunately, official pricing and availability for all new Sony’s new TV will not be available until the end of this spring. So if you are currently shopping for a new set, you want to keep for the other two months.
