#SONYBRAVIA7 ##BRAVIA7 SONYBRAVIA9
Sony just lowered the 65" and 55" BRAVIA 7 prices for all authorized dealers. So now the 65" BRAVIA 7 is $1,999. and the 55" is just $1,699. all in and delivered Nationwide. Plus check with your favorite Sony Diamond dealer :) for even more savings!
They refunded me $300 for the 65 that I already purchased
Would love to see an X90L vs Bravia 7 comparison video in the future.
I'll do my best my friend
The specs for this TV look and sound simply AMAZING. The features they are offering are crazy next level.
Price will also be next level
@@rahulkaushik310 price isn't terrible. 2700 cad for a 65 inch
Is bravia 7 a VA panel like X90L ?
It's probably a VA panel hopefully. I don't know of Sony using other type of panels too often.
There's something about sony tv display that words alone can't accurately describe. Thanks Jennifer, thanks Brìan.
My pleasure, my friend! Thank you so much for watching!
Notice any DSE?
Great get! You are the first I found with access to the new lineup. I anticipate your in-depth reviews for the new line whenever they drop. I'm very excited about the new Bravia line and the Quad speakers.
I look forward to seeing this in person. As always, Brian, thanks for the video!
I thought nothing could get as bright as our 75inch X95J, can only imagine how much more color brightness the Bravia 7 or 9 could have! WOW
Brightness is not a good picture. Look at the Sun if that is your thing
@@mrbillinsf If only we could see them in person and draw a good conclusion. Compressed phone recorded video uploaded to youtube can't give you what's being described. My theory is once we can all go to Besbuy and see one we'll know.
@@mrbillinsfhigher color volume in hdr comes from higher brightness. Also it doesn't just mean making your tv a Gian flashlight. A tv that can output more light in a smaller space, more commonly referred to lumens in a 10% window, the better the tv can display a bright object without oversaturating close elements in the shot. That is why professionals publish their films on screens that have over 4000 lumens
Thank you brian for covering this tv
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching
Cant wait for full review and comparison with X93l /X95l. Sony seems to have priced Bravia 7 well
Thank you Brian, lovely coverage for this beautiful Bravia.
My pleasure Majid! Thank you for watching
Thank you for this preview, looks stunning
So glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching
Im so in love with the Bravia 7. hopefully I can afford it next year the 65inch or 75inch. Currently on the X90F.
Wow, this tv is gorgeous! Love the new demos as well.
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Awesome tv, thanks Brian
My absolute pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Even through KZhead, the image looks phenomenal!
Thanks Brian
My pleasure Craig! Thank you as always!
Thanks
Great video Brian, this is the tv I plan on getting later on this year, thanks man!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching
Cant wait for you to compare the bravia 7 and Bravia 9 side by side.
Good job, thank you sir.
You are most welcome! Thank you for watching
Hey Brian. Last year I would have killed a Priest for an X95L in 65 or 75. Was gonna jump on the X93L. I don’t know if you remember but a couple weeks ago but you told me to wait for this line up. Thanks for the tip, This Sony 7 is what I’ve been looking for in a tv the last two years. Anyhoo Brian thank you for the video.
I was also going to get that x93L but heard from brian Sonys new 2024 line up and decided to wait. I cant wait until i get that 85inch for the living room and a 75 for my room
@@gabilanplaza The X93L is still an amazing TV. I would certainly grab it if money was the issue.
Wow, looks great.
Great vid brother. Please keep up the awesome work!
Thank you brother and thank you as always for your help
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY My pleasure bro!
Love this TV! Thanks Brian,
So glad you enjoyed!
This could be better than the last year’s X95L! Would be interesting to compare these two sets.
Talked to Robert at Value Electronics today, made sure was on the list for a new Sony Bravia 9 85 inch and the Theater Bar 9 told him you sent me. Great Guy and a good discount, thank's for pointing to Robert for my new tv.
Excellent!! So glad to hear it! Thank you for mentioning me!
I just bought a B9 85" from Rob and Wendy 2 days ago and said you and FOMO sent me. Great work! Glad to finally be a Value Electronics customer.
Amazing!!! So glad to hear it!
I like the idea of automated view mode for different tv formats , sports, baseball, movie ,etc.. I would like to see pro calibration and pixel clean as part of tv package installed, so the buyer can go right to it at first turn on.
Grate video as always Brian
So glad you enjoyed my friend!
I'm going to buy the Bravia 7 but I'm going to wait for black Friday
Sony Bravia 7 is not change from the X90l is the same old technology but in expensive money 💰🤑 💳💸
@@mordimeshita1754 Yeh 55 inch X90L brand pricing 1200 USD and new Bravia 7 55 inch that is starting of XR series is now whopping 1900 USD brand price.
Hi Brian great video does the Bravia7 have better picture quality than the x95l ?
Bro like I always say, to watch your videos is such an therapeutic feeling you the best brother 🎉😂
The pleasure is mine 100%
Waiting for the Bravia 9 here .
Me too! Please stay tuned!
My hope is that it performs really good no matter what size you choose .. 85’ has been getting all the love lately in terms of performance
I don't think that changed with B7. It looks like 85" is likely the "better" version. Not by a mile. But I suspect it given what I saw in this video. The blooming has the characteristics of a CSOT panel. The 85 in last 2 years of miniLED got AUO panels. Don't know though if that will be the case with B7. It might have CSOT across the board.
Boy did I get lucky. My current tv is dying soI bought the X93l just a week before these were announced. Brought it back to Best Buy still in the return window. Just bought 75 inch Bravia 7 will be picking it up Tuesday 😊. Thanks for this and your other reviews helped me make a choice I know I wont regret.
Oh wow!! Sorry about the X93 and congratulations on the Bravia 7😁
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY No need to be sorry the x93 was excellent but why not get the XR clear and a few other upgrades with the Bravia 7 it was worth the trip back.
I am waiting for that 85" Bravia 9. Let's go!!!
Me too!! Stay tuned
Yes finally a worthy upgrade for me. I have the 75 inch sony z9d the greatest LCD tv ever made and the bravia 9 can finally put it into retirement.
@user-oq6sc1qm4j I have an 85" x91j in the bedroom and an 85" x90k in the living room. The x90k was a huge letdown. I'm going to get the 85" Bravia 9 for the living room and give the x90k to my father inlaw. That will be a win for us both.
two questions... what music did you use for the background lol and what demo material did value electronics use on these tvs? awesome all around, cant wait to see the bravia 9. thanks for everything you do, brian!
Bravia 7 will be good seller here in UK as Sony now have a affordable mini LED starting from 55 inch, this will the more popular model
Bravia 7 vs x95L?
My last Sony was the X700F. Missed the Sony color pallet on my now LG C2. OLED contrast and screen uniformity is something my last Sony LCD can never do. Seeing the Bravia 7 uniformity might temp me to look at it myself in person just to be sure it is as good as in this video. Hoping they priced it right.
TV looks identical to the X95L but at a cheaper price! Wonder how the sales will be on this model! Also the stands are awesome!
Should have more zones even than x95l. It should be around 600 zones for the 65 inch
The 7 at a cheaper price? Note that the 7 will start at 2300$. The X95L in the markets is now at a price of ~1600$ and below.
I think bravia 7 does not have glossy coating like an x95L. It seems only semi gloss like x90l series. Saw the x95l, looks premium even when off. lol.
Hi Brian, hello from Paris. What would you recommand me Bw 77G3, 77c4, 77bravia7? And mais be other 77 model? Thanks a lot
@@ertzgdds I should note, I’m referring to the American markets
This tv looks fantastic. Sony brought their A game this year. So excited to get the bravia 9. I havent been this excited for a tv in awhile 😊 thanks for the coverage brian!
My pleasure as always my friend
I have the hta9. Idc about the thin profile of the quad, just based on sound quality, is the quad better worse or same as hta9?. Keep up the content I check your channel every day for new videos!
Love your content. I've watch this vid like 15 times. We need the full review. The big question: what is the input lag??
Hey Brian! How is the motion on SD quality? Thanks for the informative review! 😎
Hi Brian👍🏼 I've already pre-ordered the 75" Bravo 9, I just couldn't resist🤣 They forced me to go bigger, because the 65 inch model isn't being sold in the UK. Have a good one, Brother📺
Awesome!!! It's the can't miss tv of the year my friend! Please let me know how you like it
Given how small many houses are in the UK, most people don't have room for a 65", let alone a 75". This is severely going to hurt Sony's sales in the UK. I bought a 55" LG C3 a few weeks ago. That's as big as I can physically go. It's a beautiful TV. Blows the Sony A80 out the water.
@@jivebunny3765 I agree, I've had to cut the furniture down to a stool, lamp and a 12 inch walkway to leave the living room😂
@@Stock--Rosso 🤣
I am buying this tv upgrading from a 900h that’s still works very well 😄
just go oled man why are we still shilling these lcds
Not everyone wants an oled my friend. Some people actually don't care for them.
X900h is a really good TV I was surprised no black crush with it. You can imagine B7 or B9 excellent upgrade
@@dante19890I have a Oled and it has it's pluses and minuses...I have a Samsung S95B and it's got amazing color and blacks but I hate it when it stutters on older content and a lot of comcast cable programs...I would rather have a regular LCD TV for normal cable viewing...Oled's are great for movies and video games...

Brian - Was waiting for this new review so.....Which TV should I buy? (Replacing a 55" X80K). Always wanted an OLED because of blacks and infinite contrast and super wide viewing angle BUT this new Bravia 7 looks like a great upgrade from X90/93L. I watch mostly live sports on youtube/cable/streaming and 1080p content with no gaming and only a few movies (none of which will have any animated content with the exception of "Cars".) At about the same price which would you buy in my position @ 65 inches: A80L or Bravia 7...and why? Thanks!
These new Bravia's look amazing to me. I look forward to seeing them in person. But either way I think that they have made the right moves here. Both with the new names and putting all the home audio products under the Bravoa name, and with their move to try something different with their display tech.
Excellent comment
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY and unless I'm mistaken in the information I'm seeing .....the change in display tech is allowing Sony to come in cheaper on these TVs with their pricing than they otherwise would with OLED/QDOLED displays.
Probably a good "budget" decision for many , as Sony seems to discount at least in my country the lower entry TVs more than their flagships. Plus a lot of completion in this range for "average" consumer . The 98" is crazy price though . If Samsung discounts it's S95D 77" dramatically , would be hard to go past that ( in my country always cheaper than LG G series ) . Finally a taster before the main meal Bravia 9 85" ( unlike OLED , often PQ not the same on Sony miniLEDS wrt size )
Still using Sony A8F. Still very good.
I am currently using a Sony a8h oled from 2020 and want to know are their any oled tvs that offer a better experience for watching cable sports. Or should I stick with what I currently have.
TCL qm8 is going to be a contender
I do have a little fomo for this tv but I just couldn't afford it. I was able to purchase the 75" qn90c for 1519.00 directly from samsung which is the most I could spend. Thanks for all your great videos!!
Playing games on a mini led tv makes you dream one day oleds can have that brightness of the led tv but keep that 3d and dark blacks with great contrast.
just wait for the day microleds are affordable
Nice. I'm seriously thinking of the 85 inch Bravia 9. I'm due for an upgrade from my beloved Z9D...
That TV is legendary! Bravia 9 will for sure be worth the upgrade!
I think you'll be very happy my friend!
Thanks Brian! Love your content. Question: do you use live color with your Sony tv’s?
Not if you want accuracy.
Thanks for the video, looking forward to more and especially some comparison maybe with X95L, as 85 vs 85 and maybe against some other TVs. Some observations I saw. It does bloom a bit, partly could be camera showing it more strongly than real life if it took in more light. Or it could be what it is. The bloom had a slight blueish hue which tells me it's CSOT panel and I have a feeling like the lower sizes again with Bravia 7 as previous models will have different quality. The 85" likely best black level and native contrast. The TV does look great though I like all the features. I don't think it's behind in gaming. It has basically all the "game settings" you could want, even motion blur reduction (BFI) if you so choose of course more input lag with that. It has predefined setting and you can change it all. The game mode is the most realistic on a Sony as in accurate and you can tweak it to punch more. For me I would not want it to punch more than what the Sony can do. Then it's just an absolute mess of oversaturation etc. It has some unique game bar features. The "Screen size" setting, is really cool and useful if you go with a really large size and sit close. You do not want to play COD/Battlefield or any competitive MP shooter on an 85" sitting close. You wouldn't be able to see the periphery well and you would have to move your eyes and head too much. So the ability to reduce the size to a 75" or 65" size right in the center could be really nice for those types of games. Reality creation can enhance low quality and blurrier games etc. I seen 120hz is about 8.6ms in game mode. That is basically 3ms above a Samsung or LG. So, yeah I doubt I'd notice 3ms. The thing is you might even be able to change that since reality creation seems on by default at "10" (out of 100). That is processing and turning it off might net a little bit of a reduction in input-lag? I am going for Bravia 9 and since this Bravia 7 is likely closer to X95L there should be a pretty big difference. Still the Bravia 7 looks great for those who can't go for B9.
Excellent comment! They are behind in gaming my friend. Only 2 hdmi2.1, no 1440p even though the PS5 has it , no 144HZ capabilities even though most companies do. The game mode looks amazing but being real they are behind. They also know it and own it. The moniker is bringing cinema home not gaming home😁 It's a 65" mini led so blooming is inevitable however they do not suppress the brightness to compensate. Shadow detail and peak brightness for HDR impact is their signature
Should i choose bravia 7 over x95l ...x95l will be around 200 euro less
Hey Brian, are the menu's of the Bravia 7 and 9 the same as on the A95L? HDTVtest did a showcase of the A95L's menu in one of videos and it seemed like a huge improvement over the other 2023 Sony tv's.
Brian, Is it possible (logistics) to compare a 55" Bravia 7 to a 65" Bravia 9? I'd love to know how much better the 9 looks in terms of colors and contrast. Bummed the 9 won't come in 55" at launch.
Thanks for taking a look at the 7. Of course we're all excited about the new tech on the 9, but let's be honest, it's realistically going to be out of most people's price range.
I think I'm due for a new TV. My 5 year old Sony 75 inch still looks great but I think the new Bravia 7 is a significant upgrade based on what you have shown here. I would definitely go for the 85 inch this time.
Great content Brian i got to have that 83 G4 in my life ,me personally I will take infinite contrast and ,instant pixel response over brightness any day of the week those QD oled pc monitors are better by far than any mini led monitor .
You gotta see the Bravia 9 I’m not so sure anymore it’s absolutely insane
Great job Brian thank you for the video . The Bravia 7 looks tempered , controlled and clean it really shows off its bkack levels and color accuracy . Sony does it again .
My absolute pleasure! I'm so glad you enjoyed!
Love it ,when you say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING ❤️❤️❤️
Well here it is for you personally my friend 😉 Thank you so much for watching 😁
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰LOVE IT,YOU MADE MY DAY SIR
@shanijaan522 the pleasure is mine my friend ❤️ I say it again in my new video 😁
How were the viewing angles?
how is the input lag on this model Brian?
I’m assuming that you don’t have to manually switch between VRR and Dolby Vision anymore and it should be able to do both at the same time now?
Thanks for sharing Brian ❤
Thank you as always for watching!
Nice review!
Thank you so much!
Hey Brian, you know when costco is going to have the 7 series on sale?
Are the new mini LED’s way brighter?
Just woke up 😊
What would you pick Brian, The Sony x95l or The bravia 7?
The Bravia 7 as I want the new UI , gaming presets. It's definitely brighter.
I keep seeing IMAX Enhanced crop up yet few reviewers cover the subject - SO Running IMAX Content in IMAX ENHANCED MODE does what exactly? Is it worth the IMAX Tax?
I'm looking at getting the Bravia 8. I haven't had a Sony TV in bout 4 years (I gave it to my mom). I've been using the LG C-series. I upgrade every year. I plan to buy the B8 when it comes out. If it's not superbly better than the LG C4, ima take it back 😂
Why not save up and get the G4. It will be way better than either the C4 or the B8
Hey Brian this companies to my x93l 😂 I bought it about 3 weeks ago I didn’t realize this was coming so soon!
Have the 85 x90L and mostly love it but sheesh!!
Screen Uniformity looks great I didn’t make out any DSE when you moved the camera in Tsushima. The local dimming works well, too. Seems like a very good TV! Looking forward to see the Bravia 9 next but this Bravia 7 is already a great Allrounder!
The Bravia 7 & 8 are more in my price range than the 9. There doesn’t seem to be much on KZhead about the Bravia 8. How would the 7&8 compare? Which would you recommend?
Was looking at the Bravia 9 65” but in Australia we are only getting 75” and 85” so no 65”
Will this Bravia 7 be much much better over the x90l? Especially for the price difference?
I”ll watch this at leisure later but I’m hoping to replace my excellent Penny OLED with this TV. Will it be good enough (I’m crossing my fingers)?
Bouncing back and forth between just getting the Bravia 7 or cheaper for the X90L. Thoughts on which to go with in 65”?
7 no brainer
But does it still have that rainbow effect on the screen when light hits it?
Glossy or semi gloss?
Hello Brian, thanks for this video! Do you think the Bravia 7 is reaching the level of a X95L? Would you buy now the 7 or would you go to one of the last x95L in the shops? Your last words in your video describes it as more vibrant than the x95L. I'm just awaited the new flag ship Bravia 9, instead of buying a x95L just 2 months ago. But Sony badly decided not to sell 65" Bravia 9 in Europe.. Now I'm to decide to buy a x95L or a Bravia 7. what would you do? The last x95L should be a few hundred bucks cheaper than the 7. I'm fan of LED TVs because of bright living room. We use now a 55" Samsung FALD LED TV (LED topmodel from 2018), but the hdmi inputs of this tv are dying. Need a new one up to 65".
Man i bought my 75" X90L in January while I love it i should of waited 😅.. oh well ill just enjoy what i got. Great video
@@sneakyp1484 either way 🤷🏽♂️ thanks
Don't worry about your grammar my friend 😁 enjoy the X90L as it is excellent! Thank you so much for watching
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY I don't! nobody is perfect It seems like someone has something to say about someone else 🤷🏽♂️.. I do enjoy the X90L very much.. next stop is 85" 😂
@movie_av_impulse I'm glad, my friend! I appreciate you being here.
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY always I love the channel and value electronics. One day I hope to make it out there for a TV shootout
I would consider the Bravia 9 but there is no 65 inch size in Europe. So I'm buying A95L. Thank you for the video my friend. Stay safe please! :)
yes, I would have thought about it too...but no Bravia 9 55" in Europe 🤦😤 Lg g4 I'm coming..
Is the screen the center speaker for the S-center for my HT-A9?
Yh
Yes!
@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY were u able to try it yet Brian? Seems lIke the A9 works best with the virtual center. Maybe these new TVs will make the center channel better.
What do you think will do better for under a patio, u8n or Bravia 7? I watch mostly sports outside the patio.
The Bravia 7 is most likely brighter with better upscaling
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY waiting on Best Buy to have it in the 75inch. Thanks for the reply.
Brian one thing that I don’t see on the Sony website is are these 2024 models going to be compatible with Calman to calibrate?
Yes, all of Sony’s new 2024 TVs are CalMan capable.
Hi Brian, Does the Bravia 7 & 9 have the cognitive Processor XR?
Yes, Sony’s new Bravia 7, Bravia 8, and Bravia 9 all have Sony’s new 2nd Generation of the XR processor.
I like the simplified naming from Sony. Samsung could eliminate some models from their lineup, they have too many incremental improvement steps.
Can you put game mode in any picture mode(cinema professional etc) and have low input lag + the every mode's image?
You can game in any mode you like but it won't be game mode. You would simply add motion interpolation to help with lag. You'd also lose the game bar. Which isn't important if you are able to use all the other settings
I love Sony and I would love them more if they update the 98 inch X90L.
They will, my friend!
I’m surprised Sony came out this early, but I forgot when the LED models came out I just remember the flagship OLED came out really late. I’m assuming the equivalent for the A95L which I assume is the Bravia 10 will come out next year at a proper time probably April 2025
Thanks for this. I don't see myself buying the LG G4 - Bravia 9 it is!!! If Bravia 7 is this great, just imagine the step up. Bravia 9 is the real beast for 2024.
Hi Brian! First, thanks for the video. Then, with these non-OLED TVs, are they worth it if you're coming from OLED? It's always scary to step away from OLED. 😅
