I tested Sony’s $3,600 Bravia 9 II True RGB TV — here's my verdict
The Sony Bravia 9 II is a masterclass in Mini-LED, combining True RGB backlight technology with Sony’s refined picture processing. Delivering OLED-rivaling black levels, absurd HDR brightness and a thoroughly effective anti-reflective screen, it stands as the premier bright-room flagship for 2026.
The Sony Bravia 9 II True RGB TV, priced at $3,599, offers a 65-inch display with a resolution of 4K (3,840 x 2,160). It supports multiple HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG, and boasts a refresh rate of 120Hz. The TV features two HDMI 2.1 and two HDMI 2.0 ports for smart TV software, specifically Google TV. Weighing in at 58.6 pounds, the TV utilizes a RGB backlight technology, a system that has been evolving and may eventually replace traditional Mini-LED as the standard for high-end TVs.
Initially introduced three years ago at Sony's Tokyo headquarters, the Bravia 9 II showcases the brand's commitment to artistic intent, providing granular control that results in a display worth its premium price. In comparison to OLED TVs, the Bravia 9 II maintains the strength of its blacks, rich colors, and anti-reflective coating, which makes it an undisputed champion among RGB TVs.
