There was for sure an update that fixed the random addition of brightness. I took my time and watched about a hundred videos before buying this TV. I’ve never been happier when buying a TV.

"Oh well! How sad for Sony! They lost the TV war with LG once more, but Samsung remains the champion in my room. God bless Samsung for their continued success. And let's not forget, Sony's CRT was a failure, and Samsung took the lead in the 1080p resolution battle too. It appears that Sony continues to struggle in various tech segments, and I don't really care about your opinion. Samsung is simply superior."

I just got the 65in Sony bravia 7 for $1399. I have not had the too dark issue you describe. I see shadow detail, very bright highlights and very good processing. I exchanged the Samsung 65in qn90c because of apps that wouldn't play content, and I could not watch Cross because it was so dark no matter how the settings are. And the light bleed from the bottom and blooming was bad on the Samsung qn90c. I watch the sony directly from the center in my bedroom with my windows blacked out and the Sony bravia 7 looks fantastic.

Some quick comments on your video: I have a 75” Sony BRAVIA 7 and did not encounter random fluctations in brightness, or loss of shadow detail in darker scenes. My Sony BRAVIA 7 performed very well with the infamous beach scene in Episode 7 of House of the Dragon. Moreover, I had not watched Luca before, but played it on Disney+ and was satisfied with the shadow detail on the dark scene that you showed. The BRAVIA 7 should not be compared with the X90L, which has a full-array local dimming backlight, but with the X93L which features a Mini-LED backlight as the BRAVIA 7 does. I had the X93CL (Costco’s version of the X93L) and can say that the image of the BRAVIA 7 is appreciably better. It has higher brightness, contrast and color saturation, and XR Clear Image which the X93L lacks. The downside is that the BRAVIA 7 lacks X-Wide Angle and X-Anti Reflection which the X93L and X95L have. The inexplicable and inexcusable lack of X-Anti Reflection on the BRAVIA 7 is the reason why you could see yourself on some of the darker scenes. There are many indications that the unboxing that you showed on the video was not that TVs first unboxing. Perhaps the issues that you faced are related to the TV not being factory-fresh. What was the source of that TV?

@@furballbear When the Sony BRAVIA 7 was released the 75” was priced at $2,799.99 and the price of the 75” Sony X93L was reduced $300.00 to 2,499.99. Now both the 75” BRAVIA 7 and X93L are being sold by Best Buy for $2,499.99 -which does not make sense to me. Sony gives consumers with $2,500.00 to spend on a TV the choice between the newer TV with a brighter panel and X-Clear and the older relatively less-bright TV without X-Clear but with X-Wide Angle and X-Anti Reflection -which in my opinion are essential for casual TV viewing in a living room. When consumers are confused or unhappy about their choices, they often exert none.

I don’t mind that test was putting the dimming algorithm to its max and with most things you watch it won’t be that crazy. What I look for is how the dimming algorithm holds up can it track objects on a dark background without noticing any blooming and this tv dose a pretty good job at that. OLEDs will always be the king of dark scenes but this tv get very close.

I just purchased this Bravia 7 TV from Costco for $1399. For the same price I could have bought the Samsung S90D or LG C4 (for $100 more) OLED models, which were both stunning. Many people, especially OLED fans, might think it's crazy to pass-up the OLED models at the same price,...but for me,...the OLED's were just a bit too overwhelming with the colors. I wanted as much true color as possible. Initially, I was looking at the Sony X90CL at $999, but seeing the 2 TV's side-by-side, decided to spend the extra $400 and get the Bravia 7,...which really wasn't even on my radar of 2 weeks' research, until seeing it on the floor at Costco.

The bravia 7 is a great tv. I have had mine a week and am glad the tv is so good. I exchanged a samsung qn90c for the Bravia 7 and it's a big upgrade in many ways. The only downside for me is no internet browser preinstalled on Sony B7, and Samsung qn90c had a great Chrome internet browser preinstalled. Other than that Sony picture quality is way better. I have a Samsung qled and a s90c qd oled too so I have the bases covered.

In regards to suppression of small highlights. Using Local Dimming on Medium is the most 'correct' and balanced way to get some more light out of them. Then there is always the tweaks you showed like contrast enhancer that might help. But of course using enhancer accuracy could change.

Bravia 9 has more brightness for HDR, like 20% better colors, better built in speakers, some extra settings, wider viewing angle but not as much as you'd think. Other than those things it's like a $1500 difference between the Bravia 7. The Bravia 7 is basically 85% what the Bravia 9 is as they both use mini LED, Backlight Master Drive, XR Cognitive Processor, XR Clear Image, XR Motion Processing, Triluminous Pro, 2x HDMI 2.1 ports, 4K HDR 120HZ output, Dolby Vision Support, Bravia Center Sync, 98% Same Ui and features.

I purchased the Bravia 7 and waiting on arrival. I found the 9 to be too bright for my liking. We currently have the Bravia 900F. Still running very well with beautiful color but wanted an upgrade to the 75” with some of the upgrades. We intend to put the smaller 900F in the bedroom. It has the same issues as the Bravia 7 with the bad angle viewing and does not have the wide anti-reflection. For one, we don’t view the TV from the side and never noticed this and the TV is situated in an area where it gets no reflections…..day or night. With this said, the 7 is plenty enough and cannot justify the price of the 9. I spoke to a TV expert who also said that the 9 gets hotter than the 7 and can, like the OLEDs, get burn-in. Also, a Sony agent on the phone said that the picture of the larger screen is better. I don’t really know and guess both these things are open to debate.

Remember - Local Dimming High always suppresses highlights worse than Medium. Medium is usually most accurate. Based on Bravia 9 testing - seems like Game Mode is still a work in progress. Hopefully, firmware will fix it soon. Considering the cheaper launch price, I think this will be the sleep hit of the year for Sony. Unless you’re really limited on budget - there is no reason to get the X90L this year.

I am not sure how accurate it is when people says burn in isn't an issue "anymore". I previously used a Panasonic ST60 plasma that was said to be a generation where burn in or IR wasn't an issue anymore but I still had moderate retention especially after playing games that had HUDs or even RPGs where the stats would only show up during battles. I would have to run a pixel scrubber or white screen to wear down the IR to levels where they wouldn't be so visible. I couldn't really enjoy playing games most of the time and would have to do things like lower the contrast to reduce the risk of IR. At that point the picture was just not enjoyable and I would always have to look for IR after a session of gaming. I would say to play it safe if you're gaming. I have the X90L which replaced my ST60 as my main TV and I love it.

@ashamohana-s1o honestly it's the best value you'll get for such a quality mid priced tv. Tinkering with the settings to your liking and the tv will blow your mind for being an lcd that's not even mini. The picture and contrast honestly hangs in there with my friends C3 OLED. Just make sure if you're streaming to have a great high speed connection. I wish some of these streaming apps could catch up with what these TV's offer but that said Sony handles the compression noise and upscaling as well or better than any I've seen. Also, if you can buy at Costco and get the warranty. They replaced my old Sony x91j with the x90l for no cost and I'm so much happier with this newer model and they give ya the premium lit up remote. 🤙

All TV’s come with a risk. I’ve had a Sony and Lg led tv both go out on me in less than 3 years. Your oled will run a pixel refresh for about 5 minutes every couple days to help reduce chances of burn in. Also with oled, you get the added advantage of instantaneous pixel response time to reduce overall lag and latency. Also, game mode usually looks significantly better on oled because led’s usually disable most of that contrast you get from the local dimming. Image ends up appearing dimmer and flat in comparison to oled. The choice between oled and led mainly comes down to how much you prioritize gaming performance. HD movies are going to look good on any of them. I would do more research before I bought the Bravia 8 though. There might be better oled’s for a cheaper price. Don’t forget about oled with mla (g3&g4) and Qd-oled (A95L, S95D, etc.) These might be great options if you can catch a good sale. Check out Tech with KG’s video where he does a side by side comparison of the Bravia 9 against the Lg G4. Then, you can see the best mini led vs the best oled.

Every OLED tv I’ve had has gotten dead pixels and I was tired of that happening so I decided to go back to LED and this time I wanted to find a tv that would get very close to OLED. I decided on the Sony Bravia 7 and man I made a good choice. Blacks are black I don’t notice any blooming and the picture is much brighter and the QLED display made everything pop. My Sony soundbar and Sony Blu Ray player now all match with the tv. I’d say I’m happy I do still kinda miss OLED for the dark scenes but that’s the trade off you get but I’m tired of having dead pixels and every OLED I’ve had has done that.

At 5:02, the scenes and comments are ridiculous. It needs to be DV Vivid. DV on the Sony and LG TV (the C4, the direct Oled competitor) all have a duller and low brightness DV Low and Bright. They look like crap unless you jazz them up. You are better of going into DV Vivid and then go into the picture settings and back a few things down. Bright and glorious. He knows this and fully presented this TV that way on purpose. Notice at about 2:45, he says the B7 is bright as shite. So this is a gimmick. This thing will dazzle you with brightness and color pop.

Engineering background. I like the Beaver 7, 75” for about $2000. It sits in between the last years X90 PL $1600which should be rebranded as the Bravia 5 and the high end Bravia 9 4000. I can spend $2500 on a good quality tv but $4000 is too much, considering it will probably go bad after 5 years anyways. It is the perfect sweet spot. It should hit most people’s needs from the casual movie watcher to the hardcore gamer Features I love 1 Mini LED 2 VRR 3 TRUE 120 HZ 4 good stock sound 5 2:1 ratio for optimal gaming. For some reason though like other models I’m guessing you need to have it on HDMI three or four, to get the 120 HD resolution for gaming . It won’t do it o hdmi 1] for some reason. The only drawback is the price the 65 inches about $2000 and the 75 inches about $2500 I figure if you’re going to pay $2000 for a 65 inch TV, if you have the space for it might as well just pay five to $600 more and get the bigger 75 inch TV I’m sure the 85 inch TV is going to be around $3000

This feels rushed man. Feels like Sony changed up how some of the settings worked and you and KG both did videos not fully understanding how all the new settings impact the picture. For example, on previous generation Sony if you activated advanced contrast and enhancer and did not either select gradation preferred or brightness preferred in HDR tone mapping you would see wild luminance fluctuations. You have to spend time with the TV in order to pick these things up. I just watched Dune part two on my 85 inch X95K and the dark scenes in Dolby Vision were very dim like what you showed here, I had to turn off advanced contrast enhancer to correct that and then things looked normal again. I think the TV likely performs better than this video suggests it does and getting more familiar with the settings probably would have helped Also, Dolby Vision implementation has been problematic on Sony TVs for a long time. Before suggesting that the luminance issue is a backlight issue it could’ve been helpful to also test and showcase some HDR 10 footage rather than only showcasing Dolby Vision which has been problematic for Sony for sometime. not trying to be a prick, just trying to help you
