Sony BRAVIA TV Buyer's Guide 2024 | 3 7 8 9

[@deviildogg1]

I thought I wanted the Bravia 9 until I had them side by side. B9 is the clear winner in a few areas but by slim margins imo. I ultimately went with the B7 and a new sound bar and still spent less than I would have for the B9. I went with the 75" and I do want to say, the "bad viewing angles" comments are severely overblown. This thing is amazing. I'm actually starting to think I should have shelled out for the 85" lol.

[@vybo8921]

I could not have said it better. I liked the B9 side by side by 5-10%. 5 of us did Best Buy on BF and we all agreed the B7 and B9 off angle were pretty dang good, certainly nothing like reviewers and Rtings say. We compared to many mid and upper TV's and it seemed to be as good or nearly as good. That was LED's of course. We did not se and washout in colors lie they trick you with cameras. Ok, 70-80% off angle, yes. But seating even 30-40% off angle, you are just fine. The B7 is bright, the B9 is brighter but not needed. I cannot justify double the cost this year in the 75 inch TV. My plan is to get a the B7 as a fill the gap for 2 to 3 year TV and then get a flagship in 2026 or 2027. Then the B7 goes to a bedroom. Plus I want to see the Sony OLED leap in 2025, and then the LED leap in 2026. Then I will be ready!

[@fhpchris]

I bought an 83 A80L instead of one of the 77 inch oleds. I did not want to pay full price for the A95L. The 83 A80L can brighten a completely dark room and it can still flashbang you going from really dark content to white content. I can't really imagine wanting something brighter in a dark room.

[@TechWithKG]

I’ve heard great things about the 83” A80L it’s similar to the 83” A90J which is a TV I loved when I saw it in person.

[@trewright1482]

I think the 83 inch A80L would be the only Sony I would want. Sure the A95L is awesome, but that price is just crazy.

[@shadowbotz4293]

They really need a 98” B9. I’m all in if that happens. Sony needs to step it up if TCL and Hisense is beating them badly in that category.

[@Wiggywoo1977]

You're lucky I've been watching the 55 where I live 😢 and it only dropped 100 Euro here to 2499. Enjoy it.

[@kruzanJFD]

I needed an 85" have a bright room, some slight angled view, with light reflection and no room for a soundbar, so it was a no brainer for the B9 with 10% cash back. I was also concerned with longevity of the TV, so the newest tech was important. I have always purchased Sony and only had one TV picture go out before it's useful life. I also did not want to worry about getting burned with burn in. In addition, I stream TV, and this is likely the best choice for that.

[@nineradvocate]

Disclaimer I shopped all of these TVs, fell in love with the A95L and the Bravia 9, but ended up buying a 75" X90L for.. $749, which was just too ridiculous of a deal to pass up, and after a month with it, I'm glad I did. The Bravia 7 is a great TV but you're badly underestimating the X90L. The gap there is small (full array vs mini LED). You still get 120 Hz and the XR processor (which is what you really want). I also think the X90L is already plenty bright. You can get some amazing deals on the X90L too if you shop around. That said, the Bravia 7 is the sweet spot for price / performance if you cannot find an X90Lmdeal like I did. It's also being discounted pretty well now. You are right about the A95L - it's also a carryover but it's amazing. The sticker shock though. It's too much. Get a Bravia 7 or 9 instead. The viewing angle criticism is way overblown unless you are in a really wide room.

[@Mr.Oblivious0000]

​​@@user-jo1zj1vg4v Like he said, it was too good to pass up. The difference was noticeable when I saw the X90L and B7 right next to each other. I believe the price was $1599 vs $1799 respectively for the 75" when I bought mine. I just decided to go with the B7 because the image was noticeably better for me. If the X90L would have been $749 when I made the purchase then that would have been a different story tho.

I bought my first OLED last week coming from a 50 inch 60 Hz QLED to the 55 inch Bravia 8 OLED WOW what a difference, I’m a gamer and put it in my game room for my consoles, what a difference 120 Hz OLED makes. Cons with using it with my soundbar using Digital Audio Out, I need both the HDMI 2.1 ports for my Consoles, PlayStation 5 Pro, everything works amazing. Xbox series X, as a huge sound lag, not in sync with games I’m playing like shooters…why didn’t Sony put the ARC on a separate port and leave the 2 2.1 ports alone? I have been through the TV settings and console settings and cannot get it to calibrate correctly without the audio lag.

Thinking about buying a 55" Bravia 8 with the Sony soundbar 8 or 9; alternatively, the Sony 55" A95L. Do you think both TVs need a soundbar or would the more power speaker on the A95L would suffice? I welcome your thoughts.

[@Dirtywhtboy87930]

All tv speakers suck. Some of the current sound bars are NICE! But it all comes down to how much you want to invest in this endeavor…. I’ve always had pretty high end audio in all my vehicles. When Bose came out with the acustimass set, is when I started having excellent audio tied in with the tv. Been in home theater hobby ever since. I build my own subwoofers for my system, being I’m real picky about excellent audio with surround. #

Its a weird thing that they didn’t maybe they still will who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️ 85” for $500 more seems like the better buy if thats what your set at otherwise id just say grab the 7 unless 85” is too big then better yet go for a 77” OLED.

I am watching the tv from 9 ft distance, and although 77” almost makes you forget how great 65” a95l is, I still went with quality over quantity. Now if I was sitting a lot further away or if this wasn’t for our living room, who knows, I may would have picked up Bravia 8. But I am extremely happy with my purchase. Best TV I ever owned. Just treat yourself with something you know it will be amazing and it is consider to be best TV.
