The Sony Bravia 9 never really recovered from the f up that they did and to fix that they think they fixed it with it never did it hit a lot of other areas I wish you would tell Sony and I am just about ready to get a lawyer on them
I thought at the shootout that the Bravia 9 came ahead of everybody you never checked the Bravia 7 against it during the shoot out or did Sony degraded with his firmer update and screwed it up for good
Did you test either Bravia 9 or 7 with B&W content. Had horrible issues after the botched firmware update which have still failed to be resolved -- even after the FW update that dropped this week. The tonality of B&W content turns blue & there is almost navy blue colored blooming between mid gray & darker tones.
Thanks for the affirmation! I have the Bravia 7 and often wonder how much better can an image get. Apart from the viewing angles, everything else to me is almost perfect. Luckily my 65 inch tv is mounted on a wall with a swivel and that mitigate most of the problems. 💪
Yeah, the viewing angles are the Achilles Heel of this TV and if you have a seat off to the side, the angle matters. Just like the X90L. It's almost hilarious cause I went to Costco to look at the S90C and D and both times it was next to a Sony. Since it was SDR, the Sonys were destroying the S90C and D which had slightly deeper colors but it was almost muted in brightness. Then you go off to the side and you're "I need the X90L with the viewing angles of the S90 - if it supports old 3d, it'd be the perfect TV".
@@techsamurai11 Thank goodness the installation man gave me the option to mount wall it with a sturdier swivel type wall Mount and I agreed. Later I realised it was the best decision since I have a massage chair next to my sofa and it came in real handy each time I have my massage. 👍🏻
I went to Best Buy originally thinking I wanted to buy an LG G4 since it was recently touted as the best overall TV of 2024. However the TVs that really caught my eye while browsing turned out to be the S90D and the Sony Bravia 7. I'm glad this video confirms what my eyes were telling me.
S90D is a killer deal. Specially on BF, 65” was $1400 and has great sound quality. S95D’s one connect box has 40Gb bandwidth, lower than the max bandwidth of HDMI 2.1. So in essence, it downgrades the higher end model.
Hi, Brian, I hope you can help me with an advise. I wanted the LG c4 77 for black Friday that should be about £2k in UK, the Samsung s95d might be 2.5k, it's worth the difference? I'll be watching just 4k hdr movies in a complete dark room so no gaming or TV channels, the LG g4 will be about 3k so it's over my budget, thank you

After conducting a thorough side-by-side comparison of the Bravia 7, Bravia 8, and Bravia 9, I determined that the Bravia 7 offered the best overall value and performance. While the Bravia 9 did offer a bit more brightness over the Bravia 7, these differences were not significant enough to justify the higher price point. Additionally, I'm skeptical about investing in OLED technology at this time due to concerns about burn-in issues. In my professional opinion, the Bravia 7 represents the optimal choice for consumers seeking a high-quality television at a reasonable price.

Nicely done, FOMO. Now I can see why Sony is so high on the Bravia 7, and the reason it started sending it to reviewers. I think it’s safe to assume the Bravia 7 could’ve beaten the Samsung QN95 at this year’s TV shootout
18:46 The B7 shows better contrast and so would the B9 than the S90D right there. The B9 would have MUCH better off-angle than the B7 here. Also, if someone wants more color, just turn on live color or increase the color a few steps. The B9 has far better off-angle color retention. Can clearly see it. Stop saying it's the same as B7. If you want deeper contrast without even losing shadow detail just set black level from 50 to 49.
Hasn’t Sony been saying for years that more dimming zones technically doesn’t make for a better performance. So, Sony has beaten themselves to prove a point.
@@TravionMusic Sony has chosen more dimming zones with 22bit variability for each dimming zone. Sure if the dimming zone is on or off, there is a point of diminishing returns for number of dimming zones. What Sony is saying now for this architecture is not relevant to the previous. This review is not of enough TV sizes and angles to judge the 9 vs the 7.
From all my research and looking at TV’s side by side in stores, I’ve come to the conclusion that the 7 gives you everything the 9 gives you in picture quality at way less price. I’m hoping Sony makes a 98” TV based on the Bravia 7 for 2025. That would be a killer set!
I watched these TV's side by side in store, and the Bravia 9 had some serious blooming issues. Even with the store lighting the blooming quite obvious. For whatever reason I didn't seem any blooming issues on the Bravia 7, even though it looked similar in brightness.
@@almir908 bravia 9 in game mode has terrible blooming, outside of game mode it still has a lot of blooming, which doesn't make sense given how many zones it has
Omg ! I’m so glad I found you . I was looking for a new tv and you have shown me tvs I wasn’t even looking at . I didn’t know what to look for in a new tv . Color but not much else . I’m buying a new Bravia 7 thank you ❤🎉
18:20 those 10 milliseconds of input lag difference can make a difference especially in Fighting Games where every single millisecond counts. That's why I chose the LG G4 because it gives me amazing image processing and gaming Monitor capabilities.
It's not 10ms difference. Is roughly ~5ms difference at 120Hz. Sony is at ~9-9.5ms. OLED is at 4.9ms or so. Reaction time by professional players is over 120-140ms. Let me know when you think that 5ms vs 120+ms will "make a difference".
@@Swecan76 Also, games have lag in them that exceeds 5ms by a huge margin. I think 50 ms is really good for a game. So it would be 5 (TV latency) + 50 to 150 (Game Latency) + 250 (Average Player Latency) + 1-10 (wireless controller latency) Shaving 5ms off is really not that much It like saying that this TV can hit 1720 nits while the other one hits 1680 nits - you cannot see the difference.
10:00 a clear example why B9 is better than B7. A lot more contrast and color. The thing B7 has going for it is that it's a budget TV in comparison. But does really well. But that is how it is with diminishing returns the expensive TVs offer. You gloss over when the B9 clearly wins basically any situation against the B7. But again, it's not by a wide margin. 11:04 no it's not matching it better than B9. Can clearly see they are nearly identical but B9 has the same "color" tone shade as Reference. The B7 is slightly more exposed. It didn't win Shadow detail. It was close but B9 won. 14:02 this is basically the reason or one of them for the B9 by enthusiasts. It cost more and it has diminishing returns. But that is how it is. It's the only TV resolving the detail fully. Also just like a MiniLED can often be within 90-95% of an OLED. So can the B7 be within 90-95% of a B9 in a lot of content. 15:07. That isn't just barely ahead. It is clearly ahead. The B7 has a huge cloudy smear the b9 almost cut that in half. You are just minimizing it to try and support your point of B7 is best. It's frustrating AF. The B7 simply isn't as good. But it makes up for it by being a lot cheaper. So it's a great TV. But people that buy the expensive B9 do so because they want the "max" capability. Most instances you showed had the B9 winning despite what you say. You 'color' your commentary as a B7 win because that is what the whole video is about. You have already set the premise and then find the results to match it. A side note: I will personally argue that I think Professional mode on the B9 is underwhelming. Like it's just a tad too dark. Tweaking it a little makes it better and still easily within the reference. In fact an OTB Professional mode is basically holding back the TV a lot. You are basically using 60% of what it can do.
@@Swecan76 Excellent review with great notes. I fault the use of the term “enthusiast” and think that person will go B9. FOMO likes to focus on relative cost, but ultimately absolute cost relative a person’s means is what counts. Could off axis performance, relative to a dimming zone matter on a very large TV seen close up. Obviously, if I am in the center and close up, the regions further away from center are going to lose more image quality. Is the overall effect in that scenario a reduction in depth and/or immersiveness? So people are saying go for the cheaper 7 because they can afford the large one. While there may be less loss off the center axis of the larger tv, is the picture in the center compromised, making the 9 the more OLED like.
dollar for dollar the b7 is better. Nothing you saw in this video justifys the insane price difference. You cant talk about these two tvs without talking about the price difference
Honestly I think professional and cinema modes should be avoided. Not just on the B9 but on any TV. It just kills the real potential of the TV to bring an image to life. The whole point of getting a top-end LED is to make it shine with all it has. No point in buying it and then only getting like 50-70% performance out of it at most. Personally I'm probably getting a B9 sometime next year if the cost goes down enough, but if it stays at well over €3000 I think I'll have to settle for something else instead (probably not a B7 though).
@ B9 and B7 aren’t just any LED LCD TVs because the vivid mode is accurate. However, if it is a dark room and the content is 4K Dolby Vision, Vivid mode will impact the blacks when max brightness isn’t needed. Furthermore, the comparisons don’t have 4000 nit content which the vivid mode on Sony may not be the choice of quality.
@ Yes, you are correct nothing in this video sold the B9, but that’s because the video was designed to sell the B7. But off axis performance on the B9, was better enough, and blooming performance for me to put out $ for it. I don’t want to buy a TV every year, and am more concerned with obsolescence and reliability which tilts me to the B9 instead of the B7 or an OLED.
bought the 75" Bravia 7 on sale and paired it with the BDI Corridor 8173 which was also on sale. Both are replacing a TV and stand that are approaching 19 yrs old. Can't wait to set it up. I appreciate your unbias reviews FOMO. You are truly doing the Lord's work.
Impressive by the Sony Bravia 7! Sony Bravia 9 owners now have to switch it with the 7 for the best shadow quality. Details in 2000nits were great, but the seven is on par or better in every category. Shocking!? 🤔
Before watching Jennifer Gala content on U9N, you need to force the HDMI to full dynamic range. Having HDM dynamic range in Auto, locks the TV in limited dynamic range mode and clips the highlights anything above 1000 nits. Please try U9N with HDMI set to full dynamic range, you will be surprised how different tone mapping will look and no clipping at all at 4000 nits watching the same Jen Gala content
The Samsung QN85D with only 160 local dimming zones has the best overall black level performance of any mini LED I've ever seen or owned. The algorithm is nearly perfect and I suspect fewer zones allow for better control as it is less taxing on the processor. I started with the Hisense U8N, this TV has massively fluctuating black level and letterbox bars and cannot be watched in a dark room. Next I moved to the TCL QM851, which was better in that regard but still had fluctuating black level and blooming. On a whim, I decided to try the Samsung with pretty low expectations due to the zone count, but as it turns out it destroys both of these other offerings when it comes to overall black level performance. Inky black letterbox bars that never fluctuate, zero-blooming in real content and amazing color production. Also, it has the best shadow detail that I've seen on any TV period - ever. It's not as bright as the TCL or Hisense but plenty bright enough and it outperforms them in virtually every other way that I care about.

You didn't seem to mention the fact that besides the shadow detail and star scenes, the B9 looked higher contrast because of the more zones. So it looked more like the reference monitor for contrast, shadow detail could be tweaked in firmware. Also you could of compared the uncalibrated mode to reference to see if was any better, calibrated doesn't always mean better since it doesn't normally take into account the tone mapping and the local dimming algorithm which could make it darker than reference like it appeared here. So to compare 1:1 you should have used the uncalibrated mode for all of them if there is a large enough difference like it appeared here.
Because Fomo is full of it. He always does this kind of crap. The B9 won in every single instance but he makes up the results because they are close. The Shadow detail is just like reference monitor. Could clearly see it and the B7 slightly elevated and less color. The starfield, still had worse black levels and blooming control. There is more contrast on the B9, better at handling higher nit content. Off-angle and black level. He always have to go overboard. He could just say the B7 is very close to B9 and it's much cheaper so it's a good value buy. But no he has to say it's better. It's stupid.
@@Swecan76 Yeah pretty much, you can see it when he exposed the camera better for the TVs and then somehow magically the reference matched the B9 much better than the B7. 😄 The B7 only had more stars visible but probably less bright with more raised blacks, whereas the B9 has deeper blacks but brighter stars but less of them. Clearly none is better than the other and that's down to preference, since both are not perfect.
I don’t understand though .. I thought he said the B9 was calibrated but the B7 wasn’t. Then when compared to the reference monitor the B7 is the closest. Does this mean the calibration degraded the PQ on the B9?
AFTER firmware update and resetting all TVs, deleting calibration, the Bravia 9 needs its gamma adjusted to +2 and its shadow detail matched the B7 and reference monitor perfectly HOWEVER, specular highlights still not as bright as B7 but its blacks are still deeper/better in starfield and reflection handling is better and of course off angle is way better. Calibration did not degrade Bravia 9 - since its original calibration in June, my B9 received multiple significantly firmware updates and as of the current firmware, need to adjust gamma by +2 for perfect match
@@stopthefomo ambientsensor/auto. Toncurve are off on the B9? Or maybe you need a reset pff tge tv, because every messuremnt should be much hoghe rln the B9, for example hdtvpolsla messuret it in real content twice as bright as tge B7. There must be something off
Was down to choosing the 77" A80L at a discount or the 75" Bravia 7. Went with the A80L. If the Bravia 7 had better viewing angles I would have gone with it.
Great video!! Good point on pricing!! Seen as low as 2199 for the 85”!! No tax! 🎉 IMO, the Bravia 7 is the perfect bedroom tv! You don’t need viewing angles and can control all lightening with best picture! 🎉 Btw. Shadow detail/black crushing/artifacts are my biggest complaints on the QN90C and why I want a B7/B9 (u6n, u7n,qm7,QM8 not great) 🎉
I'm in NZ and Sony are discounting last year's X95L so it's now slightly cheaper than the Bravia 7, which I was about to buy. Which of those would you recommend (the wide viewing angles and reflective coating aren't important for me)?
Go for the X95L. Bravia 7 is a repackage of X93L from what I’ve read. Not that it’s a bad thing but a flagship model is a flagship model even if it’s last years.
Love my X90L as far as PQ and color accuracy and brightness but can’t stand the blooming and light bleed into the black bars. Would the Bravia 7 be my answer to what I’m looking for? I have tried OLED but can’t justify the cost for just better black levels. I am in a dark room. Thank you
Fomo, since we are back on the topic of the Bravia 7, is there any advantage to switching to it from my X900h? I game and watch movies, I'm also pretty happy with the X900h performance for both.
Jumping from an X900H to a Bravia 7 will get you the gaming features Sony promised but failed to deliver in the first place. True 4K/120Hz resolution and local dimming while using VRR.
Worth the upgrade, I make this decision on August, I’m very happy with the results, but the X90H looks great too, B7 it more bright and awesome in games…well in everything
I recently brought lg C4. But my fav was Bravia 7. Before settling to lg c4, I searched a lot for comparison between these two, but none available. Could u make lg C4 vs Sony Bravia 7 ?

Sony Fomo has given you the road map for 2025. Bravia 7 with ADS Pro Panel to improve off viewing angle where it currently falls apart. Make it happen!
@@kev3226 That is true from everything I have read but what no one has made clear to me is by how much would it suffer? Fomo????? I certainly don't want my near perfect blacks to look grey. Unfortunately with LCD it seems you have to pick your poison in that regard. You can't have your cake and eat it to. If you want perfect contrast you have to go with OLED right now.
I’d like to see a Bravia 7 vs S90D comparison. We always see people talk about how much better QD-OLED is than Mini-LED and no one really showcases that, even if they do it’s just a small clip like the one in this video
No comprising in day time . Bravia 7 heavily Matted screen . S90D Full Gloss . Day time when watching game of thrones , Game Over Of Thrones with matte glare .
FOMO please update both TVs to the lastest software v112.627.030. and also factory reset the Bravia 9 for out of the box performance. Then compare to reference. You can always plug in Dwayne's CMS settings later and have your calibration back.
@@stopthefomo Thank you for taking my suggestion!! I'll do my best to attend the stream it will be very interesting to see how they all stack up. So far this new update has better tuned the backlight on the Bravia 9. Local Dimming high is actually a good option now unlike before.
@@NexGenTek Yes all he has to do is reset custom1 color temp. the multi point and per color settings too. Factory reset is easiest way to make sure but you still have to go back and disable energy saving etc.
I have a 75x95L, it is similar in its base to the Bravia 7, but has better screen coverage and viewing angles, but is not as bright as the B7. You compared the B7 and B9, and the B9 was a little worse in the shadows. Don't you think that this is due to calibration? During calibration, the brightness decreases a little, this decrease in brightness was enough to show a worse result in the shadows, and accordingly in color saturation.
Yeah i think so too it might have been made too dark. Just look at HDTVTest review of the X95L..... Or it could be a little different approach in local dimming and tone mapping for the B9, aiming for tighter control of the contrast since there are more zones it can. It doesn't need to spread out the light like the B7 does since it has less zones. But there are some downsides to that which are less details but you get darker blacks. But if you can have tighter control of the back-light why wouldn't the B9 have even better shadow detail than the B7?......surely it could be tweaked to make it better in firmware. Maybe he should have tried to compare the calibrated vs uncalibrated accurate mode to see if the uncalibrated mode was any better.
There is something off with the brightness on your Bravia 9. Even in the settings menu, the rectangular box is supposed to be white, not gray 7:40. It should look like the B7 or even brighter because this will translate to how content looks. I think they neutered the Bravia 9 when they calibrated it and even the text in the settings menu is too dim on the Bravia 9 compared to a non-calibrated B9.
We have the old Sony A9G 77" OLED in a theater space - which isn't just a bland square room. There's plenty of space in the multi-functional gathering area behind the couch - the back wall is 30 ft away. There are lights on quite frequently, and we have a window just to the right side of the TV. We watch everything in Movie Mode - and the brightness level of our TV is set around 50-55%. We are sports watching junkies. We've never had issues with brightness when watching football, basketball, volleyball, baseball. We never watch sports in vivid - t's just an unnatural color profile. The Movie Mode colors are fantastic for sports. I get if you're in an exceedingly bright room during with a wall of windows, you want a higher level of brightness. But vivid colors, where the grass looks like it's green slime, and reds that bleed? Never been interested in this profile.
I just went to Game of Thrones and compared my Q90T against those. My TV only has like 100 dimming zones and stacks up very well for being old. I’m actually shocked. Then again, I’ve really dialed in the picture settings a lot over the years.
The Bravia 7 does sound great on paper, but each time I see it in the store those poor viewing angles really stand out. It looked grey and hazy because it was higher up on the wall and I couldn't see it head on. I've been considering the 85" Bravia 7 but then wondered if the 83" C4 would be a safer choice, and now I'm throwing the 98" QM7 in there too because it's the same price as the Sony and would be very immersive.
Every time I saw them both at Best Buy, the Bravia 9 looked better at every angle. I wished the Bravia 7 looked as good so I could save some money, but it didn't . Money everyone should see for themselves, but for me, it was obvious.
Bravia 9 has superior contrast, blooming control and viewing angle. All 3 are very noticeable to the average viewer. This dude saying they are the same is just trying to make a clickbait video

Great review, one of your best! Yeah at the lower price the Bravia 7 is now cheaper than the X93L and is actually an amazing TV since it's not just a baby Bravia 9 but closer to an identical twin. Thank you for showing the off-angles. The drop-off is pretty stark as you've shown and ADS Pro is so much better even over the Bravia 9. The only improvement to the video would have been to use standard mode instead of vivid because most people will use these TVs in standard mode - is the number 80-90% that don't change the mode at all and definitely don't change it based on content.
Bravia 7 isn't even close to being an identical twin to Bravia 9. Don't be fooled lmao. I've tested both side-by-side for 3 weeks before I kept the 85" B9 and returned the 85" B7. The B9 beats it across the board.
@@techsamurai11 Every area. Shadow detail. Higher nits. Higher contrast. Less blooming. Better colour volume at higher brightness. Better off angle viewing. Better anti reflection. It beats it in every aspect of picture quality. Now I'm not saying it's far superior like it blows away the 7 in these areas, but it is better.
@@vgnvideogameninja2930 Yeah, it has better angle viewing but as you can see the U8N with the ADS Pro was a different level at 30 degrees. The other stuff maybe just applies to the 85 inch model. Is the B9 an ADS Pro panel compared to a VA for the B7? We knew that Sony reserved a better panel for the 85 inch A95L but it was also the case with the A93L. Did they drop the panel for the B7? FOMO's video shows the opposite with a 4-way comparison. Sure, the B9 is better, in most cases, but is it worth the extra money and can you really see the difference are the main questions. I think for 80% of the people, the answer would be no especially since they'll stick in Standard mode. In fact, switching to Warm 1 in standard mode, turning the light sensor while setting brightness to the desired max level, and tweaking color is probably a much more significant improvement between the B7 and B9. If you made those improvements to the B7 and put it next to the B9, it would look remarkably better and vice versa.
@@vgnvideogameninja2930 I just watched the video again on a 1,000 nit SDR OLED. I wonder if the 85 inch Bravia 9 has the better panel while the 85 inch Bravia 7 doesn't. The X95L and X93L at 85-inch had the better panels but maybe Sony downgraded the Bravia 7 with slightly worse angles and reflections. However in this video, it's really hard to make the case for the 65 inch Bravia 9 at double the price. The angles are an issue but they are also a problem on the Bravia 9, just a bit better. The thing is that 80% of people will buy the Bravia 7 and keep it in standard. If you switch to Warm 1 and tweak the colors a bit, that upgrade will be more significant than buying the Bravia 7 or 9 cause the image will be insane compared to any TV out there.
I’d be curious to know DeWayne’s thoughts since he calibrated your Bravia 9. Is the Bravia 9 appearing a bit worse in shadow detail because of the wide-angle filter affecting the panel’s native contrast?
Bravia 7 and 9 Local Dimming Set to HIGH will greatly improve your , MOTION . If you move both Motion Bars all the way up/along and Local Dimming to HIGH Then you will get the Smoothest possible You can use BLACK FRAME INSERTION as well but this will lower your Overall Brightness up to 30% And it will also make your MOTION Even smoother
You should also review the Samsung QN85D. Very much like the Bravia 7 It actually outperforms it's bigger brother the QN90D. I'm amazed that so many reviewers aren't even looking at this TV, it is the biggest sleeper of 2024 and one of the best mini LEDs on the market period.
Thank you. I almost bought it this past week, bit got scared by all the people that had the normal Samsung problems with their qn85d. Then if I remember right, maybe some said the C model from last year was better. Anyways, I just bought my favorite tv ever, the Sony 900F. I used to have this 900F and sold it, because I bought the LG C1 and X95k. Didn't like either of those nearly as much as the Sony 900F. I saw a guy had a 900F for sale locally, so I went and bought it. It's way better than the 2024 X90L, which i also had. Since my 900F is now 7 years old, if it fails, I'll take another look at the qn85. It looked stunning in costco, for 4K images. But I wstch a lot of lower resolution content like Philo cable, so I wonder how the qn85 looks for that. My Sony 900F is a delight to watch lower resolution content.
@michaellubeck8464 The 900F is great- I owed one. Very natural image quality, great motion handling but black level and blooming are bad. The QN85D is a gigantic step forward from the 900F when it comes to color production, blooming control, brightness, black level, contrast ratio.... pretty much everything. Motion handling might be slightly better on the 900F going off memory and I'm not sure about low res upscaling on the QN85D because I only watch 1080p and 4k content. It's 1080p upscaling is excellent. If you like the 900F just keep it, buy some bias lighting for the back of the TV and you are good.

Thanks. I am still trying to decide. It may not be an OLED but I can buy the Bravia 7 75" for the same price as the Bravia 8 65" Size matters. Still thinking about it.
Im not seeing those "wins" as you are.. more shadow details, maybe, but the blacks are more grey. more stars, maybe, but clouding non the less. I would say good enough, not better.
It's not even better at shadow detail. His calibration made it darker and you can easily, and obviously fix it. The B7 is uncalibrated, after calibration it would lose any of the extra over brightened part.
In Oz, the Bravia 7, LG C4 & the Samsung S90D sell for $3495, as does the UXAU because we don't have the U9N The LG B4 sell for $3295 I bought my lovely U8NAU on special for $1995, which it is there again, it is $200 off ATM; when I bought mine back in October, it was $2695 full price I love this thing. I leave it on filmMaker mode with the brightness down to 33 & contrast at 50. I don't have a sound bar for it, I turn the bass up to full & use my Edifier Bookshelf speakers fitted up top on a shelf. If I want a louder sound, I turn on my Yamaha amp with 2 x Polk S60 front speakers & 2 x Definitive Technology BP2006TL speakers. The BP2006TL speakers have a 250W sub built into the bass, and it is also adjustable; the Polk S60 puts out bass as well 🖖 BTW, grouse review as always FOMO 👍
great stuff FOMO! I was convinced I needed either the Bravia 9 or LG G4 but have trouble justifying the cost. Bright sports and shadow detail are most important so Bravia 7 seems like the winner for me. The biggest downside seems to be off angle viewing. Is there a noticeable different between B7 and B9 for off angle viewing?

I’m looking at a 77 inch S90D or a 77’ Bravia 8. The latter is the only Sony at the size I’m interested in at the price range I’m considering ($3,000). Most of the content I’m watching is a mix of 4K UHD and upscaled television shows via streaming services (Netflix, VUDU, Disney+). I game, only on console and specifically the PS5. Is the XR processing on the Bravia 8 really worth passing on the brighter, more vibrant color the S90D has to offer?

I have a Sony X95K which has improved with firmware updates, I believe it is essentially a X93L at this point and hope it gets some Bravia 7 algorithm improvements.
Rtings compared these 2 Sony TVs and concluded B9 is better in contrast, blooming and reflection handling. And you think the far cheaper B7 is better!😅

@stopthefomo I'm trying to decide on a 2nd TV, I already have a Samsung S95d OLED for my movie room, for my large living I'm trying to decide between the Hisense 98" 98UX for $5k, or the Sony 98" BRAVIA XR X90L. Would be adding a warranty just in case. I can't find enough reviews on the 98UX, everyone seems biased against the brand due to the huge numbers of cheap $200-500 lower quality models they sell, and the Sony doesn't have the higher end features it seems the UX has, a year older, but does have a great processor. Not worried about viewing angles, watching is pretty minimal, mainly streaming shows and movies.
I have see pics of Small UX (from EU ppl sent to me ) it’s QD-OLED wet paint 🎨/vibrancy on Steroids ! 😂 I want to buy 85” but they don’t come to Canada this year :( buy it soon ! Those UX r def imported from China Main facilities with better quality control . I heard they r adding 20% tax soon . 😮 I heard the UX head quarter testing still in Japan 🇯🇵 when Hisense bought SHARP TV brand in 2014 back then .
SURE! Turn off ambient/eco mode, Professional Mode, Gradation Preferred, Local Dimming Medium, Peak Brightness HIGH, Motion set to 1 or 2 depending on your tolerance for stutter and everything else is default! This is for dark room watching. In brighter rooms, change tone mapping to Brightness Preferred or use Standard Mode. For sports, use Vivid mode
How is the 7 vs x95L from 2023... Because of the wide angle and the anti reflection of the x95L Is the 7 still better, or better wait till the 2024 upgraded version of the 7??

I went with a similar budget with a 75" Bravia7. Here in Germany for that budget you can get the Bravia8 only in 65" and for the Bravia9 you would have to pay WAY more (it is not available in 65" here yet, and that is most likely way more expensive) Most likely you can get a Bravia7 too one or two sizes larger then the other models for the same price
Thank you Sir FOMO! Love this video. Seems like, feel like this has ben said a million times, Sony just has a better picture on average then other manufacturers. It makes sense as they make the camera's, movies, reference monitor, etc.....
I follow Fomo advice on the x90l and hes right. The x95l is better but not that money better and the x90l contrast properly tweaked is good enough while you still get all the sony goodies. I dont even miss quantum dots I paid 1500 euros for the 75 waiting a few months for price drops. B7 for me and FOMO master and commander, capici?

No, not possible - Bravia 3 has no dimming zones, no miniLED, way way worse contrast as a result and won't get brighter than an OLED even. Better to get the X90L!

No this is just Fomo doing his usual videos. He knows nothing more than any other enthusiast. Can clearly see in all examples the B9 is better except maybe 1 or 2. Also the calibrated B9 was likely made darker. There is also the fact it's a 65" B9 where in the highest end Sony's the 85" get most love. It has a better panel. The B7 is clearly a very good value because it comes close a lot to B9 and at times hardly any difference. But there IS a difference and more than not. But his few examples do not show these things.

The Sony Bravia 9 never really recovered from the f up that they did and to fix that they think they fixed it with it never did it hit a lot of other areas I wish you would tell Sony and I am just about ready to get a lawyer on them
I thought at the shootout that the Bravia 9 came ahead of everybody you never checked the Bravia 7 against it during the shoot out or did Sony degraded with his firmer update and screwed it up for good
Fomo I already purchased the LG G4 at Best Buy, should I Exchange it for the Bravia 7? 🤔 I'll be saving some money 💷 I if I do that. 🤔
I love that Sony is never full of baloney !!!!
Did you test either Bravia 9 or 7 with B&W content. Had horrible issues after the botched firmware update which have still failed to be resolved -- even after the FW update that dropped this week. The tonality of B&W content turns blue & there is almost navy blue colored blooming between mid gray & darker tones.
Picked up the 85 inch Bravia 7 last week. The firmware/software update applied over the weekend with no issues. Very happy with this TV so far.

@@albundy3929Can you tell me about this TV Sony 90l how does it function overall?
I returned a G4 because of yellow tint to whites and all colour. Going Bravia 9.
Thanks for the affirmation! I have the Bravia 7 and often wonder how much better can an image get. Apart from the viewing angles, everything else to me is almost perfect. Luckily my 65 inch tv is mounted on a wall with a swivel and that mitigate most of the problems. 💪
Yeah, the viewing angles are the Achilles Heel of this TV and if you have a seat off to the side, the angle matters. Just like the X90L. It's almost hilarious cause I went to Costco to look at the S90C and D and both times it was next to a Sony. Since it was SDR, the Sonys were destroying the S90C and D which had slightly deeper colors but it was almost muted in brightness. Then you go off to the side and you're "I need the X90L with the viewing angles of the S90 - if it supports old 3d, it'd be the perfect TV".
@@techsamurai11
Thank goodness the installation man gave me the option to mount wall it with a sturdier swivel type wall Mount and I agreed. Later I realised it was the best decision since I have a massage chair next to my sofa and it came in real handy each time I have my massage. 👍🏻
I went to Best Buy originally thinking I wanted to buy an LG G4 since it was recently touted as the best overall TV of 2024. However the TVs that really caught my eye while browsing turned out to be the S90D and the Sony Bravia 7. I'm glad this video confirms what my eyes were telling me.
S90D is a killer deal. Specially on BF, 65” was $1400 and has great sound quality. S95D’s one connect box has 40Gb bandwidth, lower than the max bandwidth of HDMI 2.1. So in essence, it downgrades the higher end model.
Highly pleased with the 7. Had it for 2 months, and besides some blooming in extreme testing scenarios, it’s stunning in real world content.

After conducting a thorough side-by-side comparison of the Bravia 7, Bravia 8, and Bravia 9, I determined that the Bravia 7 offered the best overall value and performance. While the Bravia 9 did offer a bit more brightness over the Bravia 7, these differences were not significant enough to justify the higher price point. Additionally, I'm skeptical about investing in OLED technology at this time due to concerns about burn-in issues. In my professional opinion, the Bravia 7 represents the optimal choice for consumers seeking a high-quality television at a reasonable price.
Rtings compared these two TVs and concluded the B9 is better in several areas.

Nicely done, FOMO. Now I can see why Sony is so high on the Bravia 7, and the reason it started sending it to reviewers. I think it’s safe to assume the Bravia 7 could’ve beaten the Samsung QN95 at this year’s TV shootout
18:46 The B7 shows better contrast and so would the B9 than the S90D right there. The B9 would have MUCH better off-angle than the B7 here.
Also, if someone wants more color, just turn on live color or increase the color a few steps.
The B9 has far better off-angle color retention. Can clearly see it. Stop saying it's the same as B7.
If you want deeper contrast without even losing shadow detail just set black level from 50 to 49.
Hasn’t Sony been saying for years that more dimming zones technically doesn’t make for a better performance. So, Sony has beaten themselves to prove a point.
@@TravionMusic No, and using this review to make that statement is not appropriate.
@ Yes… they have. They didn’t share their dimming zones in the past because to them it didn’t equate a better performance.
@@TravionMusic Sony has chosen more dimming zones with 22bit variability for each dimming zone. Sure if the dimming zone is on or off, there is a point of diminishing returns for number of dimming zones. What Sony is saying now for this architecture is not relevant to the previous. This review is not of enough TV sizes and angles to judge the 9 vs the 7.
@@TravionMusic if Sony could have 22bit quantization for dimming each pixel, then OLED performance could be achieved.
@@TravionMusicthey didn’t share, because they couldn’t compete in dimming zones.
From all my research and looking at TV’s side by side in stores, I’ve come to the conclusion that the 7 gives you everything the 9 gives you in picture quality at way less price. I’m hoping Sony makes a 98” TV based on the Bravia 7 for 2025. That would be a killer set!
I watched these TV's side by side in store, and the Bravia 9 had some serious blooming issues. Even with the store lighting the blooming quite obvious. For whatever reason I didn't seem any blooming issues on the Bravia 7, even though it looked similar in brightness.

Sony Bravia B9 75-inch for me and the 🏆
I’m sold on the B7, was thinking about an G3 or a C4 but this swayed me to the Sony. Having a 900e this will be my next tv.
18:20 those 10 milliseconds of input lag difference can make a difference especially in Fighting Games where every single millisecond counts. That's why I chose the LG G4 because it gives me amazing image processing and gaming Monitor capabilities.
It's not 10ms difference. Is roughly ~5ms difference at 120Hz. Sony is at ~9-9.5ms. OLED is at 4.9ms or so.
Reaction time by professional players is over 120-140ms. Let me know when you think that 5ms vs 120+ms will "make a difference".
@@Swecan76 Also, games have lag in them that exceeds 5ms by a huge margin. I think 50 ms is really good for a game. So it would be
5 (TV latency) + 50 to 150 (Game Latency) + 250 (Average Player Latency) + 1-10 (wireless controller latency)
Shaving 5ms off is really not that much
It like saying that this TV can hit 1720 nits while the other one hits 1680 nits - you cannot see the difference.
10:00 a clear example why B9 is better than B7. A lot more contrast and color. The thing B7 has going for it is that it's a budget TV in comparison. But does really well. But that is how it is with diminishing returns the expensive TVs offer.
You gloss over when the B9 clearly wins basically any situation against the B7. But again, it's not by a wide margin.
11:04 no it's not matching it better than B9. Can clearly see they are nearly identical but B9 has the same "color" tone shade as Reference. The B7 is slightly more exposed.
It didn't win Shadow detail. It was close but B9 won.
14:02 this is basically the reason or one of them for the B9 by enthusiasts. It cost more and it has diminishing returns. But that is how it is. It's the only TV resolving the detail fully.
Also just like a MiniLED can often be within 90-95% of an OLED. So can the B7 be within 90-95% of a B9 in a lot of content.
15:07. That isn't just barely ahead. It is clearly ahead. The B7 has a huge cloudy smear the b9 almost cut that in half. You are just minimizing it to try and support your point of B7 is best. It's frustrating AF.
The B7 simply isn't as good. But it makes up for it by being a lot cheaper. So it's a great TV. But people that buy the expensive B9 do so because they want the "max" capability.
Most instances you showed had the B9 winning despite what you say. You 'color' your commentary as a B7 win because that is what the whole video is about. You have already set the premise and then find the results to match it.
A side note:
I will personally argue that I think Professional mode on the B9 is underwhelming. Like it's just a tad too dark. Tweaking it a little makes it better and still easily within the reference.
In fact an OTB Professional mode is basically holding back the TV a lot. You are basically using 60% of what it can do.
@@Swecan76 Excellent review with great notes. I fault the use of the term “enthusiast” and think that person will go B9. FOMO likes to focus on relative cost, but ultimately absolute cost relative a person’s means is what counts. Could off axis performance, relative to a dimming zone matter on a very large TV seen close up. Obviously, if I am in the center and close up, the regions further away from center are going to lose more image quality. Is the overall effect in that scenario a reduction in depth and/or immersiveness? So people are saying go for the cheaper 7 because they can afford the large one. While there may be less loss off the center axis of the larger tv, is the picture in the center compromised, making the 9 the more OLED like.
dollar for dollar the b7 is better. Nothing you saw in this video justifys the insane price difference. You cant talk about these two tvs without talking about the price difference
Honestly I think professional and cinema modes should be avoided. Not just on the B9 but on any TV. It just kills the real potential of the TV to bring an image to life. The whole point of getting a top-end LED is to make it shine with all it has. No point in buying it and then only getting like 50-70% performance out of it at most. Personally I'm probably getting a B9 sometime next year if the cost goes down enough, but if it stays at well over €3000 I think I'll have to settle for something else instead (probably not a B7 though).
@ B9 and B7 aren’t just any LED LCD TVs because the vivid mode is accurate. However, if it is a dark room and the content is 4K Dolby Vision, Vivid mode will impact the blacks when max brightness isn’t needed. Furthermore, the comparisons don’t have 4000 nit content which the vivid mode on Sony may not be the choice of quality.
@ Yes, you are correct nothing in this video sold the B9, but that’s because the video was designed to sell the B7. But off axis performance on the B9, was better enough, and blooming performance for me to put out $ for it. I don’t want to buy a TV every year, and am more concerned with obsolescence and reliability which tilts me to the B9 instead of the B7 or an OLED.
bought the 75" Bravia 7 on sale and paired it with the BDI Corridor 8173 which was also on sale. Both are replacing a TV and stand that are approaching 19 yrs old. Can't wait to set it up. I appreciate your unbias reviews FOMO. You are truly doing the Lord's work.
Impressive by the Sony Bravia 7! Sony Bravia 9 owners now have to switch it with the 7 for the best shadow quality. Details in 2000nits were great, but the seven is on par or better in every category. Shocking!? 🤔
Before watching Jennifer Gala content on U9N, you need to force the HDMI to full dynamic range. Having HDM dynamic range in Auto, locks the TV in limited dynamic range mode and clips the highlights anything above 1000 nits. Please try U9N with HDMI set to full dynamic range, you will be surprised how different tone mapping will look and no clipping at all at 4000 nits watching the same Jen Gala content
I can't find any reviews on the u9n. Been waiting. Looking at that or the 98 inch uled hisense.
The Samsung QN85D with only 160 local dimming zones has the best overall black level performance of any mini LED I've ever seen or owned. The algorithm is nearly perfect and I suspect fewer zones allow for better control as it is less taxing on the processor. I started with the Hisense U8N, this TV has massively fluctuating black level and letterbox bars and cannot be watched in a dark room. Next I moved to the TCL QM851, which was better in that regard but still had fluctuating black level and blooming. On a whim, I decided to try the Samsung with pretty low expectations due to the zone count, but as it turns out it destroys both of these other offerings when it comes to overall black level performance. Inky black letterbox bars that never fluctuate, zero-blooming in real content and amazing color production. Also, it has the best shadow detail that I've seen on any TV period - ever. It's not as bright as the TCL or Hisense but plenty bright enough and it outperforms them in virtually every other way that I care about.

You didn't seem to mention the fact that besides the shadow detail and star scenes, the B9 looked higher contrast because of the more zones. So it looked more like the reference monitor for contrast, shadow detail could be tweaked in firmware.
Also you could of compared the uncalibrated mode to reference to see if was any better, calibrated doesn't always mean better since it doesn't normally take into account the tone mapping and the local dimming algorithm which could make it darker than reference like it appeared here. So to compare 1:1 you should have used the uncalibrated mode for all of them if there is a large enough difference like it appeared here.
Because Fomo is full of it. He always does this kind of crap. The B9 won in every single instance but he makes up the results because they are close.
The Shadow detail is just like reference monitor. Could clearly see it and the B7 slightly elevated and less color. The starfield, still had worse black levels and blooming control.
There is more contrast on the B9, better at handling higher nit content. Off-angle and black level.
He always have to go overboard. He could just say the B7 is very close to B9 and it's much cheaper so it's a good value buy. But no he has to say it's better. It's stupid.
@@Swecan76well there were more stars the b7 showed, you can see it. Just an example
@@Swecan76 Yeah pretty much, you can see it when he exposed the camera better for the TVs and then somehow magically the reference matched the B9 much better than the B7. 😄
The B7 only had more stars visible but probably less bright with more raised blacks, whereas the B9 has deeper blacks but brighter stars but less of them. Clearly none is better than the other and that's down to preference, since both are not perfect.
It’s click bate
@Swecan76 Didnt win out enough to justify 3x the price
I don’t understand though .. I thought he said the B9 was calibrated but the B7 wasn’t. Then when compared to the reference monitor the B7 is the closest. Does this mean the calibration degraded the PQ on the B9?
AFTER firmware update and resetting all TVs, deleting calibration, the Bravia 9 needs its gamma adjusted to +2 and its shadow detail matched the B7 and reference monitor perfectly HOWEVER, specular highlights still not as bright as B7 but its blacks are still deeper/better in starfield and reflection handling is better and of course off angle is way better. Calibration did not degrade Bravia 9 - since its original calibration in June, my B9 received multiple significantly firmware updates and as of the current firmware, need to adjust gamma by +2 for perfect match

Panasonic should be up there with the b7 and 9
I'm in NZ and Sony are discounting last year's X95L so it's now slightly cheaper than the Bravia 7, which I was about to buy. Which of those would you recommend (the wide viewing angles and reflective coating aren't important for me)?
Go for the X95L. Bravia 7 is a repackage of X93L from what I’ve read. Not that it’s a bad thing but a flagship model is a flagship model even if it’s last years.
How would you compare this TV to the new Panasonic W95A?

Sony Bravia 7 lg c4 is garbage as crap is garbage as crap it can trun my 1080p blu-ray discs look garbage upscale compare to my SAMSUNG 32" Class FHD (1080P) Smart LED TV (UN32N5300) pice of junk
Sony Fomo has given you the road map for 2025. Bravia 7 with ADS Pro Panel to improve off viewing angle where it currently falls apart. Make it happen!
That seriously would be da bomb! 💪
But native contrast ratio would suffer.
@@kev3226 That is true from everything I have read but what no one has made clear to me is by how much would it suffer? Fomo????? I certainly don't want my near perfect blacks to look grey. Unfortunately with LCD it seems you have to pick your poison in that regard. You can't have your cake and eat it to. If you want perfect contrast you have to go with OLED right now.
I’d like to see a Bravia 7 vs S90D comparison. We always see people talk about how much better QD-OLED is than Mini-LED and no one really showcases that, even if they do it’s just a small clip like the one in this video
No comprising in day time . Bravia 7 heavily Matted screen . S90D Full Gloss . Day time when watching game of thrones , Game Over Of Thrones with matte glare .
Yes the Hisense U8N n TCL qm851 , both Full gloss high vibrancy. Will crush S90D (too dim and also bit more blue casted )
FOMO please update both TVs to the lastest software v112.627.030. and also factory reset the Bravia 9 for out of the box performance. Then compare to reference.
You can always plug in Dwayne's CMS settings later and have your calibration back.
Just updated both, and I'll do that when comparing with the QN90D and W95A next week!
@@stopthefomo Thank you for taking my suggestion!! I'll do my best to attend the stream it will be very interesting to see how they all stack up. So far this new update has better tuned the backlight on the Bravia 9. Local Dimming high is actually a good option now unlike before.
Can you un-calibrate it that way? Because it definitely nerfed his tv
@@NexGenTek Yes all he has to do is reset custom1 color temp. the multi point and per color settings too. Factory reset is easiest way to make sure but you still have to go back and disable energy saving etc.
I have a 75x95L, it is similar in its base to the Bravia 7, but has better screen coverage and viewing angles, but is not as bright as the B7. You compared the B7 and B9, and the B9 was a little worse in the shadows. Don't you think that this is due to calibration? During calibration, the brightness decreases a little, this decrease in brightness was enough to show a worse result in the shadows, and accordingly in color saturation.
Yeah i think so too it might have been made too dark. Just look at HDTVTest review of the X95L..... Or it could be a little different approach in local dimming and tone mapping for the B9, aiming for tighter control of the contrast since there are more zones it can. It doesn't need to spread out the light like the B7 does since it has less zones. But there are some downsides to that which are less details but you get darker blacks. But if you can have tighter control of the back-light why wouldn't the B9 have even better shadow detail than the B7?......surely it could be tweaked to make it better in firmware. Maybe he should have tried to compare the calibrated vs uncalibrated accurate mode to see if the uncalibrated mode was any better.
There is something off with the brightness on your Bravia 9. Even in the settings menu, the rectangular box is supposed to be white, not gray 7:40. It should look like the B7 or even brighter because this will translate to how content looks. I think they neutered the Bravia 9 when they calibrated it and even the text in the settings menu is too dim on the Bravia 9 compared to a non-calibrated B9.
What are the ideal settings for the Bravia 7 for a bright living room?
We have the old Sony A9G 77" OLED in a theater space - which isn't just a bland square room. There's plenty of space in the multi-functional gathering area behind the couch - the back wall is 30 ft away. There are lights on quite frequently, and we have a window just to the right side of the TV. We watch everything in Movie Mode - and the brightness level of our TV is set around 50-55%. We are sports watching junkies. We've never had issues with brightness when watching football, basketball, volleyball, baseball. We never watch sports in vivid - t's just an unnatural color profile. The Movie Mode colors are fantastic for sports.
I get if you're in an exceedingly bright room during with a wall of windows, you want a higher level of brightness. But vivid colors, where the grass looks like it's green slime, and reds that bleed? Never been interested in this profile.
I just went to Game of Thrones and compared my Q90T against those. My TV only has like 100 dimming zones and stacks up very well for being old. I’m actually shocked. Then again, I’ve really dialed in the picture settings a lot over the years.
Would a 75 inch Bravia 7 be a good replacement for an LG G3 65 inch? I'd love to have the bigger size especially with rhe big deals at Best Buy.
The Bravia 7 does sound great on paper, but each time I see it in the store those poor viewing angles really stand out. It looked grey and hazy because it was higher up on the wall and I couldn't see it head on. I've been considering the 85" Bravia 7 but then wondered if the 83" C4 would be a safer choice, and now I'm throwing the 98" QM7 in there too because it's the same price as the Sony and would be very immersive.
Every time I saw them both at Best Buy, the Bravia 9 looked better at every angle. I wished the Bravia 7 looked as good so I could save some money, but it didn't . Money everyone should see for themselves, but for me, it was obvious.
If you use it as a personal tv dont sweat it. if you are planning on watching from the ceiling or closet then definitely spend 3x more $ on the B9
The only reason I’d still go with the B9 is because of the superior reflection handling
That's not the only thing about B9 that's better, but that's certainly a big one.
Bravia 9 has superior contrast, blooming control and viewing angle. All 3 are very noticeable to the average viewer. This dude saying they are the same is just trying to make a clickbait video
@@julianchillby1024 Sony Bravia 9 is garbage as crap is garbage as crap it can trun my 1080p blu-ray discs look garbage upscale compare to my SAMSUNG 32" Class FHD (1080P) Smart LED TV (UN32N5300) pice of junk
Great review, one of your best! Yeah at the lower price the Bravia 7 is now cheaper than the X93L and is actually an amazing TV since it's not just a baby Bravia 9 but closer to an identical twin. Thank you for showing the off-angles.
The drop-off is pretty stark as you've shown and ADS Pro is so much better even over the Bravia 9.
The only improvement to the video would have been to use standard mode instead of vivid because most people will use these TVs in standard mode - is the number 80-90% that don't change the mode at all and definitely don't change it based on content.
Bravia 7 isn't even close to being an identical twin to Bravia 9. Don't be fooled lmao. I've tested both side-by-side for 3 weeks before I kept the 85" B9 and returned the 85" B7. The B9 beats it across the board.
@@vgnvideogameninja2930 In what areas was it better?
@@techsamurai11 Every area. Shadow detail. Higher nits. Higher contrast. Less blooming. Better colour volume at higher brightness. Better off angle viewing. Better anti reflection. It beats it in every aspect of picture quality. Now I'm not saying it's far superior like it blows away the 7 in these areas, but it is better.
@@vgnvideogameninja2930 Yeah, it has better angle viewing but as you can see the U8N with the ADS Pro was a different level at 30 degrees.
The other stuff maybe just applies to the 85 inch model. Is the B9 an ADS Pro panel compared to a VA for the B7?
We knew that Sony reserved a better panel for the 85 inch A95L but it was also the case with the A93L. Did they drop the panel for the B7?
FOMO's video shows the opposite with a 4-way comparison. Sure, the B9 is better, in most cases, but is it worth the extra money and can you really see the difference are the main questions. I think for 80% of the people, the answer would be no especially since they'll stick in Standard mode.
In fact, switching to Warm 1 in standard mode, turning the light sensor while setting brightness to the desired max level, and tweaking color is probably a much more significant improvement between the B7 and B9. If you made those improvements to the B7 and put it next to the B9, it would look remarkably better and vice versa.
@@vgnvideogameninja2930 I just watched the video again on a 1,000 nit SDR OLED. I wonder if the 85 inch Bravia 9 has the better panel while the 85 inch Bravia 7 doesn't. The X95L and X93L at 85-inch had the better panels but maybe Sony downgraded the Bravia 7 with slightly worse angles and reflections.
However in this video, it's really hard to make the case for the 65 inch Bravia 9 at double the price. The angles are an issue but they are also a problem on the Bravia 9, just a bit better.
The thing is that 80% of people will buy the Bravia 7 and keep it in standard. If you switch to Warm 1 and tweak the colors a bit, that upgrade will be more significant than buying the Bravia 7 or 9 cause the image will be insane compared to any TV out there.
I’d feel more confident about these findings if both TVs were calibrated or both not calibrated.
Yes, I don't know why he doesn't do this, especially when comparing them to a reference monitor, reducing all variables.
I’d be curious to know DeWayne’s thoughts since he calibrated your Bravia 9. Is the Bravia 9 appearing a bit worse in shadow detail because of the wide-angle filter affecting the panel’s native contrast?
Bravia 7 and 9
Local Dimming Set to HIGH will greatly improve your , MOTION . If you move both Motion Bars all the way up/along and Local Dimming to HIGH Then you will get the Smoothest possible
You can use BLACK FRAME INSERTION as well but this will lower your Overall Brightness up to 30% And it will also make your MOTION Even smoother
I was able to get a Bravia 7 55inch under 800 GBP (1000USD). No brainer, it arrives on Monday, can't wait after checking your review
You should also review the Samsung QN85D. Very much like the Bravia 7 It actually outperforms it's bigger brother the QN90D. I'm amazed that so many reviewers aren't even looking at this TV, it is the biggest sleeper of 2024 and one of the best mini LEDs on the market period.
Thank you. I almost bought it this past week, bit got scared by all the people that had the normal Samsung problems with their qn85d. Then if I remember right, maybe some said the C model from last year was better. Anyways, I just bought my favorite tv ever, the Sony 900F. I used to have this 900F and sold it, because I bought the LG C1 and X95k. Didn't like either of those nearly as much as the Sony 900F. I saw a guy had a 900F for sale locally, so I went and bought it. It's way better than the 2024 X90L, which i also had. Since my 900F is now 7 years old, if it fails, I'll take another look at the qn85. It looked stunning in costco, for 4K images. But I wstch a lot of lower resolution content like Philo cable, so I wonder how the qn85 looks for that. My Sony 900F is a delight to watch lower resolution content.
@michaellubeck8464 The 900F is great- I owed one. Very natural image quality, great motion handling but black level and blooming are bad. The QN85D is a gigantic step forward from the 900F when it comes to color production, blooming control, brightness, black level, contrast ratio.... pretty much everything. Motion handling might be slightly better on the 900F going off memory and I'm not sure about low res upscaling on the QN85D because I only watch 1080p and 4k content. It's 1080p upscaling is excellent. If you like the 900F just keep it, buy some bias lighting for the back of the TV and you are good.
Great video buddy😊
After watch again !!!, would you go Bravia 7, or spend the extra 300, for a Bravia 8 ????

I need to decide between LG C4 or Bravia 7 what do you think FOMO??
Games: LG C4
Movies: Bravia 7.
Thanks. I am still trying to decide. It may not be an OLED but I can buy the Bravia 7 75" for the same price as the Bravia 8 65" Size matters. Still thinking about it.
You left out the Bravia 7s Achilles heal.. reflection handling! 🎉 I still think it’s the best bedroom tv tho. 🎉
Thats why I got a 65" as a personal gaming tv for my br
Great video! Could you please compare the Bravia 7 and LG C4? Both are currently the same price and I've seen a lot of debate online between the two.
Im not seeing those "wins" as you are.. more shadow details, maybe, but the blacks are more grey. more stars, maybe, but clouding non the less. I would say good enough, not better.
It’s not better but for the money it most definitely is
It's not even better at shadow detail. His calibration made it darker and you can easily, and obviously fix it. The B7 is uncalibrated, after calibration it would lose any of the extra over brightened part.
In your opinion Bravia 7 or QN90D for movies / streaming apps main useage?
Bravia 7
Hey FOMO! which would be the better tv Bravia 7 85" or S85D 83" same price??
In Oz, the Bravia 7, LG C4 & the Samsung S90D sell for $3495, as does the UXAU because we don't have the U9N
The LG B4 sell for $3295
I bought my lovely U8NAU on special for $1995, which it is there again, it is $200 off ATM;
when I bought mine back in October, it was $2695 full price
I love this thing. I leave it on filmMaker mode with the brightness down to 33 & contrast at 50.
I don't have a sound bar for it, I turn the bass up to full & use my Edifier Bookshelf speakers fitted up top on a shelf.
If I want a louder sound, I turn on my Yamaha amp with 2 x Polk S60 front speakers & 2 x Definitive Technology BP2006TL speakers.
The BP2006TL speakers have a 250W sub built into the bass, and it is also adjustable; the Polk S60 puts out bass as well 🖖
BTW, grouse review as always FOMO 👍
I got the Bravia 785 inch love it so far
How have the reflection handling been with the Bravia 7?
@rajeshnahar5585 I shut my curtains all good
great stuff FOMO! I was convinced I needed either the Bravia 9 or LG G4 but have trouble justifying the cost. Bright sports and shadow detail are most important so Bravia 7 seems like the winner for me. The biggest downside seems to be off angle viewing. Is there a noticeable different between B7 and B9 for off angle viewing?
Thanks for the great review. It helped me to decide, orderd the bravia 7 in 85 inch today. thanks again.

I’m looking at a 77 inch S90D or a 77’ Bravia 8.
The latter is the only Sony at the size I’m interested in at the price range I’m considering ($3,000). Most of the content I’m watching is a mix of 4K UHD and upscaled television shows via streaming services (Netflix, VUDU, Disney+). I game, only on console and specifically the PS5.
Is the XR processing on the Bravia 8 really worth passing on the brighter, more vibrant color the S90D has to offer?

I have a Sony X95K which has improved with firmware updates, I believe it is essentially a X93L at this point and hope it gets some Bravia 7 algorithm improvements.
Great video. I was trying to really understand what the difference was between Sony and the Chinese TVs
Rtings compared these 2 Sony TVs and concluded B9 is better in contrast, blooming and reflection handling. And you think the far cheaper B7 is better!😅

@stopthefomo I'm trying to decide on a 2nd TV, I already have a Samsung S95d OLED for my movie room, for my large living I'm trying to decide between the Hisense 98" 98UX for $5k, or the Sony 98" BRAVIA XR X90L. Would be adding a warranty just in case. I can't find enough reviews on the 98UX, everyone seems biased against the brand due to the huge numbers of cheap $200-500 lower quality models they sell, and the Sony doesn't have the higher end features it seems the UX has, a year older, but does have a great processor. Not worried about viewing angles, watching is pretty minimal, mainly streaming shows and movies.

Mind to share this Bravia 7 video setting for best viewing for movies ? I like the picture quality but wonder any adjustment recommedation if any.
SURE! Turn off ambient/eco mode, Professional Mode, Gradation Preferred, Local Dimming Medium, Peak Brightness HIGH, Motion set to 1 or 2 depending on your tolerance for stutter and everything else is default! This is for dark room watching. In brighter rooms, change tone mapping to Brightness Preferred or use Standard Mode. For sports, use Vivid mode
I have a 7, my parents have a 9, I've watched both extensively. I love my 7! No regrets not getting the 9.
Do you think the U8N would be closer to the bravia 7 vs the U9N?
The problem is no one has shown the U9n in forever. There has to be firmware updates. There is so much power there that can be unlocked.
How is the 7 vs x95L from 2023... Because of the wide angle and the anti reflection of the x95L
Is the 7 still better, or better wait till the 2024 upgraded version of the 7??
if the middle of my sofa seating area is 10' back from current 10yo sony bravia 55" lcd display how big a display should i be looking at with current lineup of offerings?
I hear the reflection handling and viewing angles on the 7 are terrible?
VERY ! B7 is EVEN MORE matted corse than X90L fine dust matted . When U8N Qm851 -- FULL gloss . QN90D U7N high level Semi gloss .
Matte = less reflection. Not more

Bravia 7 for sports/movies in a bright room if you're directly in front of the TV but if you walk around a lot and watch off angle, then get the LG B4 83" or 77" because its brightness is similar to C4 but with less gaming features.

What tv do you recommend to buy the Sony Bravia 7 ,8 or 9 if on a budget under $2000
I went with a similar budget with a 75" Bravia7.
Here in Germany for that budget you can get the Bravia8 only in 65" and for the Bravia9 you would have to pay WAY more (it is not available in 65" here yet, and that is most likely way more expensive)
Most likely you can get a Bravia7 too one or two sizes larger then the other models for the same price
Thank you Sir FOMO! Love this video. Seems like, feel like this has ben said a million times, Sony just has a better picture on average then other manufacturers. It makes sense as they make the camera's, movies, reference monitor, etc.....

Is the 7 going to burn my eyes way more than an OLED like the Bravia 8 or LG G4?
How about the 85” Bravia 7?
Is it worth getting an 85” Bravia 7 coming from a 75” X90J? For Apple TV 4k, 4k UHD Sony X800M2, OTA sports and news.
Yes n no since Bravia 7! Is heavily corse matted
I follow Fomo advice on the x90l and hes right. The x95l is better but not that money better and the x90l contrast properly tweaked is good enough while you still get all the sony goodies. I dont even miss quantum dots
I paid 1500 euros for the 75 waiting a few months for price drops.
B7 for me and FOMO master and commander, capici?
Does this mean the Bravia 3 with ADS panel (specific sizes like the 55 inch etc..) could in theory trample on the Bravia 7? I'm glad you gave the Bravia 7 a shot and came up with such a surprising conclusion!
No, not possible - Bravia 3 has no dimming zones, no miniLED, way way worse contrast as a result and won't get brighter than an OLED even. Better to get the X90L!
Is bravia 7 good for watching low resolution videos ( specially from external hard drive) ?
Help!
Why do I get eye pain and headaches after a while with the Sony Bravia 7 and the Sony X90L?😢

So has the bravia 7 improved from an update or was everyone focused on the bravia 9 and doing the 7 a disservice
No this is just Fomo doing his usual videos. He knows nothing more than any other enthusiast. Can clearly see in all examples the B9 is better except maybe 1 or 2. Also the calibrated B9 was likely made darker.
There is also the fact it's a 65" B9 where in the highest end Sony's the 85" get most love. It has a better panel.
The B7 is clearly a very good value because it comes close a lot to B9 and at times hardly any difference. But there IS a difference and more than not. But his few examples do not show these things.
B9 cannot possibly justify the price difference. And if price were no object Id get an lgG4. But dollar for dollar the B7 is better
