Sony’s New Bravia 6 TVs Take On Entry-Level OLEDs

The new OLEDs feature budget-friendlier pricing and start at 48 inches.

Sony’s New Bravia 6 TVs Take On Entry-Level OLEDs

Sony's latest Bravia 6 4K OLED TVs have entered the market, challenging the affordability of entry-level OLEDs like the LG B6. Priced starting at $1,300, this "entry-level" Bravia 6 boasts a wide-angle 4K OLED panel, Sony's Triluminos Pro engine, and support for Dolby Vision. For reference, a 65-inch Bravia 6 retails for $2,000, matching the price of the LG B6, while the Sony Bravia 8 II costs $2,800.

Unlike Sony TVs, the Bravia 6 includes Google TV with Gemini for streaming and general TV functionality, alongside Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support for an immersive audio experience. However, users may lack features such as the 8's antireflective coating and a higher brightness panel with the Bravia 6. At CNET, we advocate for OLED technology due to its superior color, shadow detail, and black levels.

Although I haven't personally tested the LG B6 or the Sony Bravia 6, I anticipate both to perform excellently in these areas. The Sony Bravia 6 is presently available for purchase.
