Great work Abby and RTINGS! Thanks for the in-depth review of the Bravia 7! It would be great to have some confirmation if the Bravia 7 supports full 4:4:4 chroma subsampling at 4K 120hz with HDR/VRR enabled in both Game and PC mode. The Mediatek Pentonic 1000 SoC is likely to support this.
Rtings doesn't know this stuff. They clearly just have their formula and everything has to be OLED. Rtings is only interesting to see some measurement results. Their scoring makes zero sense. They value certain aspects more and that affect scoring when in reality for you or me that might have much less bearing on the score.
@@Swecan76 Totally, I get your point and I don't rely too much on the scoring as well. It is difficult to please everyone when trying to adjust scoring formula. And yes, RTINGS are very useful for their measurement results which I've appreciated since 2016. Before discovering RTINGS, I had to bring my Laptop along with me to several stores just to test for full 4:4:4 chroma subsampling support and other aspects of picture quality via playing several test clips on each of the TVs on my consideration list just to finalize my buying decisions. I hope Rtings adds this additional test since there were stability and compatibility issues with this in the previous years as reported by multiple owners of several TVs.
@@Swecan76 I hope they implement the tests for this. It'll help us PC users since HDR and VRR can be problematic in previous TVs to get working with full 4:4:4 chroma. Otherwise, we'll have to wait for Vincent who seems to be busy with tech shows this month. It'll probably be weeks before his reviews are available.
Man don't joke like that Abby, because the use of that unnecessary word emphasis for an attempt at humor is audibly painful. Worse than my middle school science teacher.

Man if this thing had better viewing angle and was $500 cheaper then I think it’d be a serious contender for a lot of people. At $2k it’s just too hard to forgive it for its obvious faults.
I saw it in store I prefer X93L over Bravia 7. Hisense 2022 U8H 160000:1 contrast ratio Evan look significantly better than 2024 Bravia 7 100000:1 . N Bravia 7 is too fine Grain Matted glare . 😮 At least X93L is glossier even tho X93L has (low dynamic contrast ) issue has soft image . 😮

@@achinism in real life terms, you won't see a difference from your love seat. Whatever they detected as shifting is likely imperceivable. It might become obvious at more extreme angles, but no one is watching their TV like that.
The U8 isn't better because upscaling is a BIG thing. Unless you watch exclusive 4k content, MOST content is 720P and 1080P and needs upscaled. 144Hz is nearly useless because No console on the market can game higher than 120Hz, so ignore the 144hz unless you plan to use it as a computer monitor and you have a graphics card like a 4080 or 7900XTX to even Reach 144Hz at 4K. it's really not fair to compare it to an OLED just because of price. There is also a B4 OLED that's even cheaper than the C4... Compare LED to LED... I think Rtings just kind of "hate reviews" Sony products. They ALWAYS recommend something else instead. The Bravia 8 is WAY better than the review they gave it here as well.. Sometimes they just look at numbers and think that tells the whole story, like the 144hz business.. its nearly useless but they make it out to be WAY better..... its not.
Good review. I purchased the Bravia 7 over the Bravia 9 because I needed the 55" size in my living room. I replaced a 7 year old Sony TV that started the back light pulsing. I have to say this TV isn't perfect and the viewing angles are the only negative that I only sometimes notice. From a technical perspective Sony nocks it out of the park with image processing. Sony just does it best IMO. I've watched other friends TVs and viewed Samsung and LGs offering in stores and the Sony images just look better to my eyes. After all I'm the one that's viewing it. I only need the use of one HDMI 2.1 port as this will not be my gaming TV and will only have a Sonos system plugged in. For me this was the best TV offered in the 55" Inch category. I would have gone Bravia 9 if it had a 55" offering.
I've had this TV for a week now, and I can honestly say I don’t see any issues with off angle viewing or reflections. Obviously, the screen has some reflection when it is off, but once it is on, there isn't an issue. I mean, if you are watching a very dark movie, while sittting in a brightly lit room, with bay windows, and every light in the house on there may be an issue, but that's what blinds and light switches are for. Picture processing is amazing in SDR and HDR. Upon rewatching some movies, I saw details and textures I didn’t know existed. Colors are very vibrant in SDR and HDR. Streaming even looks close or on par with disc. Gaming mode also looks great after a few minor adjustments. I thought my 2018 Vizio P65-f1 looked great, but after staring at this TV for a week, I may have been very wrong. If you get this TV you will not be disappointed. I'm convinced that they review these TVs in some absurd lighting conditions and from angles no one will ever be watching from.
@@notsoeloquent If that's so, why are the HDR images of the Bravia 7 on Ratings not clearer than the X95L's? Granted, it's a camera but every Sony is clearer than other TV manufacturers by a mile so they are picking up detail.
Unfortunately Sony stopped offering 55" versions of their highest-end LCDs years ago, so I knew not to expect a 55" Bravia 9. What stings even more is that, here in Europe, we don't even get the Bravia 7 in 55". So basically the message from Sony is that, if I want a 2024 Sony TV in 55", it's OLED or bust.
Very disappointing TV for the money especially when you compare it to the competition as shown at the end of the video. They still haven't fixed their lackluster gaming performance and features compared to TVs much cheaper too. I was excited for this TV but it's another disappointing set unless you exclusively watch movies. Cheaper brands are far better for gaming and at least on par for regular TV content.
@techsamurai11 they have lower input lag, for example the Samsungs and LGs have around ~5ms input lag at 4k120 whereas the Sony's have 10ms. I own a Sony TV currently and I can definitely feel the difference in responsiveness despite it being only millisecond differences. The Samsungs and LGs also have ~10ms input lag at 4K60 which is 6ms below one frame at 60hz whereas Sony has 17ms which is above one frame of input lag. Also support for 144hz and way more HDMI 2.1 ports which is good if you own a Gaming PC, eARC soundbar and console which require 3 ports.
@@Mo-eh1bq You should watch Digital Foundry where they talk about all games having massive internal lag that's 10x-30x more than the TV's lag. But the difference between a Sony and a LG in visual quality (not talking about the dim issues of the LG in SDR) is massive. Imagine playing FIFA on a LG and a Sony, the jerseys and crowd will be much clearer ont he Sony. If you owned a PS4 and games on a Sony, you were enjoying PS4 Pro level graphics.
@@Mo-eh1bq All games have their own lag which is 5x to 30x more than the TV's lag so what you feel isn't the TV but the game itself. The visual quality of a game like FIFA on the Sony vs LG is massive with the crowds, jerseys and decals. Any game really. If you had a PS4 and a Sony, you were enjoying PS4 Pro level graphics - that's how much more detailed the image was between Sony and LG. And it still is.
I’m looking at this tv or the Bravia 9 when it comes to uk in 65” which it apparently is. I would have OLED but despite what all the OLED fanboys say there are still cases of people having problems with their screen. I had 3 OLED 2/3 years ago and all went back and I still hear of it happening now. People say this isn’t worth the price well neither is an OLED with the risk it has.
MediaTek (who make the SOC in Sony’s TVs, along with many other brands) have just announced a new chip that allows for all four HDMI ports to be HDMI 2.1 and will be in consumer TVs from 2025. So if having all four HDMI ports be 2.1 compatible is important to you then you might want to wait another year to upgrade.
Ok so I own the 75” Bravia 7. Coming from a 75x95g. I primarily use my TV for watching films on bluray (standard and 4k discs), streaming through all the standard apps and sport (4k when available). No gaming. I’ve calibrated it to Rtings recommendations but honestly out of the box it was pretty close. Does it have some reflection during the day when it’s full sunny, yes but it’s honestly not annoying or something that affects the viewing experience. Is there blooming, yes but honestly only if your really looking for it and when I say looking for it’s totally not a factor. Viewing angle isn’t that bad either. I feel like these things are big beat ups and really great to know but in real world factors not an issue. You can complain about the price but you’re buying the Rolls Royce of processing and brand imo. Accuracy and true to the directors content is what I’m all about and this is flawless! I’m not justifying my purchase, I got it super cheap through good contacts so I’m lucky but the tv is really amazing
Interesting. I’ve got a 65” x950g in Aus and considering this as an upgrade in the near future. What’s the 4k HDR content difference - usually play mine via PS5 so not high standard but definitely interested in the difference generally speaking.
@@Exisentialist05 I loved that TV - unfortunately it was dropped in a recent move so was forced to upgrade. The 95G was my first top TV and boy did I get amazing use out of it. This is a massive jump but honestly you’re not going to get that wow I got from buying the 95G. It’s improvements all round especially in the blacks and colour. After 3 months of use there really isn’t anything I can talk about badly apart from the viewing angle stuff which only because I look for it you can def see the colour wash out when you move off centre. Again nothing bad but it’s there. From my own research prior to buying the B7, the direct comparison to our 95g would have been the x90L and that is great telly for the price. This is a big jump
@@Exisentialist05 look off the bat the X95G is an amazing telly and my first top TV. The only reason I had to upgrade is due to it being dropped in a recent move. 4K HDR and even SDR is where it does its best work. The picture looks more vibrant and colours are way deeper than 95G. Blacks are the biggest jump. In all aspects the tv is better from the OS to the performance. Sound was a big one too when playing through my Denon amp or recently when I updated to the Q990d. All formats play as well even from my USB with it passing HD master audio. The biggest Ick I have is the viewing angle it really does wash out if you’re not off centre but again not a factor. It’s just because I’m aware and look for it. Don’t think you’re going to absolutely wowed the x95g stacks up. But it’s def a big improvement. If you were going let’s say the x90L then it wouldn’t be that much diff but this is def a big upgrade.
This TV is not worth. Bad viewing angles in 2024 is really a mess. The great contrast is destroyed if you move off center. ADS panel would be better if they not want to use a wide viewing filter. VA without that is bad.
A friend got the BRAVIA 3 the Biggest thing he said was DETAIL in the images Other than that he said for the price everything else works really well once you get the settings right and he said it give the U8N a run for it's money as he Has that TV Hope that helps
Seems like a pretty good TV, would have to test the viewing angles myself though. Im upgrading from a budget 1080p samsung and dont notice major issues.
@alsayedfakhri4597 - VA panels provide better contrast at the cost of more narrow viewing angles. Step up to the Bravia 9 if wider viewing angles are important to you.
If you connect a 2.1 receiver to hdmi 3, please explain how you are losing one 2.1 port when I've actually gained an extra 3 ports that support 4k120 on my Denon X2800H, while also supporting thar in HDR/Dolby Vision. Why do reviewers miss this out ???? This is all connected to my A95K & im also using my Series X & PS5
@@furballbear IMO in terms of their offerings relative to their competitors they don’t have leverage to command these prices this year, additionally I think global inflation will make most consumers price conscious, I think the market is shifting towards the Chinese manufacturers TCL and Hisense (like what’s happened with Korean companies Samsung and LG before) and Sony is yet to pivot or offer vastly superior technology.
@@alananderson7903 Really!! whatever makes you happy my friend! my Sony A80J and AV receiver and home theatre sound system would bet to differ. However, don’t let me stop you from telling yourself what you need to here 👍🏽
@@furballbear the prices they are commanding in comparison to the features they are offering relative to their competitors is off. A few years ago Sony was way ahead that lead is not prominent anymore the thing that Sony has still going for is its reputation and QC. I think more consumers will gravitate to TCL and Hisense albeit perceived a lesser quality. The Chinese brands are in a similar position that the Korean (LG & Samsung) were years ago. I believe they will continue to grow in market share.
Another way of looking at it: everyone hooking up their soundbar/receiver with HDMI 2.1 ports to the Hisense, will have all the HDMI ports downgraded to 2.0. On the Sony you’ll actually get extra HDMI 2.1 ports. Perspective 🤷♂️
I received it today. The viewing angle is horrible. I put the TV on a piece of furniture 1m high and the fact that I'm not sitting at the same height as the TV, the picture is washed out. It's crazy to pay 2000$ and have this kind of problem. I'm going to take it back to the store, it's a shame because the basic image is sublime.
That means it's not going to work for TVs over fireplaces. You'd be shocked how many people have their TVs installed there. Actually this TV probably can't be wall-mounted even 1 foot above the cabinet without a change in picture quality.
It would be awesome to see a side by side comparison of Sony Bravia 7 and Sony X95L, because the production of X95L should be continued and they will be present on market together.
Thanks for the review RTINGS, I was curious. We've tested the Bravia XR70 as well. It's a darn good tv..., if it wasn't for the extremely poor viewing angles. You can't sell a tv like this, especially not at this tier and price, so disappointed about that, Sony!
I'm wondering who Sony are aiming any of its 2024 range at to be blunt. Grossly expensive, not very good QLEDs which are still nowhere near its own OLEDs, no models other than arguably the 9 better than the G4 or even the now vastly reduced C3, and the 9 not available below 75" outside of the US.
Overall the Bravia 7 seems like a great addition to Sony's lineup. As usual the price is high but quality costs more. That's especially true when the competing Hisense set is known to have quality control issues.
Dear, i have sony tv, and the rating was good on ritings website, but during the updates on long times the ratings getting lowing on ritings website , was 8.1 now 7.9, so my question should i avoid updating the TV? Please advice.
I think they readjust rating as time goes on, otherwise a 9.0 from 10 years ago would still be a 9.0 even though technology has advanced so much its more in line with an entry level 7.0 nowadays.
It doesn’t spoil for no reason tho. I saw Bravia 7 last week at Best Buy ! Most underwhelming thing ! 😅 Fine grain matted n pestle also 😊 It helps u to put hard earned money on better stuff

I wanted to ask the same. I hope RTINGS can answer here... X90L is much cheaper that bravia 7 and if it''s less reflecting light i would definetely go for it instead.
I have the 65" X95L and I would say the bravia 7 is better than the X90L. The 65" X90L has 80 dimming zones - The 65" bravia 7 has 480 dimming zones (same amount as the X95L). It's a better TV. Wait till black Friday for a deal.

I don’t know dude , I saw it last week at Bestbuy .i prefer the SONY X93L(semi gloss, more glossy version of Semi) over this one . The Bravia7 has thick fine grain matted screen . I don’t like it too much . If you had X95 level tv (usually SONY put the X95 level tv more glossy ) you might NOT like the Bravia 7 as much . Bravia 7 Fine grain Matted . Yes image will be major upgrade for sure . 👍🏻 just others TVs significantly better than Bravia 7 3yrs ago already . Samsung QN95B ,Hisense U8H (google panel ) in 2022 already going at around 160000-200000:1 contrast ratio . The Bravia 7 just doing 100000:1 today. Hisense U8N just came out 290000:1 contrast ratio . U8N is not even Flagship . 😊 n glossy. N there is U9N wll launch later year with Newest ADS-Pro panel (American Company BOE , 2X contrast of ADS, surpass VA, 180 degree viewing angle . FULL Gloss screen ) , TCL QM851 (VA) . U better wait out for the Best LEDs launch in the Fall :)
Hey, I have the X95G myself and still works nicely, though i have never updated it, last update - dec 2019. How did your unit die? I am quite interested and id be happy if you give me some details. Btw upgraded to X95L recently and it is quite the step up.
Overpriced tv. Also, no composite video capability. Get the X85K, it’s just as good. Anything above that set from Sony, is just a set with gimmicks that really don’t improve the viewing experience for 99% of people.
The viewing angles kill this TV because unlike the X90L which launched at $1,299 and dropped at $1,099, it's nearly double the price with better local dimming and more brightness (the X90L is decent). It's unacceptable at that price range... They should have gone with an ADS Pro, AUO, or even an IPS panel. It's insanity.
@@kenadams9725 Most TVs go into living rooms which may be small enough that there's no angle but most living rooms may have a seat that's a bit off angle and you will also walk around with the TV off angle. It does look jarring to see a TV lose color as you walk around the room.
I'm debating between Bravia 7 and Bravia 9 because the price difference is big Can you explain the differences between them and whether the price difference is worth the investment. I mainly watch football in a lighted room. Today I have a Sony OLED TV and it has problems with burning pixels, so I want to switch to a TV with mini LED technology thanks

Moving the eARC port off the HDMI 2.1 makes it worthless for a HDMI 2.1 receiver. Since it now no longer can output 120hz or VRR etc. So anyone with a good high end Receiver would be SOL. using a U8N. Not everyone uses a soundbar. This would be the reason why Sony don't move that port.
Great review. You saved me from buying this TV because I thought it was identical to last years X95L (like the X93L was a rebranded X95K) but the downgrade in reflection handling makes it a hard pass for me as I have big living room windows and need great reflection handling more than anything else.
Falando de brilho e contraste pode se fazer os testes com imagens mais rápido mais pequeno minúsculo extremamente exigente pode fazer de tudo só OLED tem o poder de mostrar o contraste com brilho máximo cor nitidez tudo com detalhe precisão etc LG o melhor fabricante de TVS DISPLAYS etc do mundo LG tem credibilidade durabilidade etc LG capricha em tudo
I'm deciding between the Bravia 9 and Bravia 8. While I want the larger TV size (85 inches) that the Bravia 9 offers, I want a TV that excels at dark room gaming (Bravia 8). If I get the B8, it'll be my first OLED 😊
I went down the same path as you about 3 years ago. As someone who owns a sony a90j, if you're a brightness nut and want the best HDR experience when gaming, mini led is the way to go. I have had so many problems with ABL kicking in on my OLED. And the sdr brightness is laughable. I'm getting the Bravia 9. You really need to figure out what you prioritize. If it's pixel response, you want an OLED. If you want HDR pop, mini led. Oleds still struggle to come out of pure black to gray and suffer from black crush. When gaming, I've had issues not seeing people in dark corners due to this. I made a video on my channel covering my thought process
@@westyk52sparky the Bravia 8 is not a qd oled. It is a wrgb OLED from LG. I believe it is using the MLA technology as well. Could be wrong. Sony's a95l is carrying over from last year as their qd oled offering
Appreciate the advice everyone! What I will say is that burn in is an issue I'd prefer not to deal with. But I hear the Bravia 8 is using a new EVO panel from LG. Those are more resistant against burn in I hear.

Yes, this TV Does have a simi-gloss screen. I find that so weird that sony TV's input lag is not as good or better than the competition, since they do make PlayStation.
yeah, get the LG C4 and enjoy DSE and OLED burning in less than a year or the Hisense with the color/white accuracy of a potato, and as reliable as a Chrysler the B7 isn't perfect, but I'd rather have poor viewing angles at 30+ degrees, than the B9/X93/X95L with Sony's X-Wide angle coat that is easily removed with a wet fabric, staining the screen permanently

That’s great. I thought your review format and content is excellent. Succinct and I like the comparisons at the end for positioning. Keep up the great content.
But the U8N isn't just as good in every area. That is where it comes down to user preference. I would imagine since a TV is primarily a picture/image medium. One would think the priority would be how it handles the content and look at it's best.

It would be great to have some confirmation if the Bravia 7 supports full 4:4:4 chroma subsampling at 4K 120hz with HDR/VRR enabled in both Game and PC mode. The Mediatek Pentonic 1000 SoC is likely to support this.

Ssssmokin hot in anticipation
The U8 isn't better because upscaling is a BIG thing. Unless you watch exclusive 4k content, MOST content is 720P and 1080P and needs upscaled.
144Hz is nearly useless because No console on the market can game higher than 120Hz, so ignore the 144hz unless you plan to use it as a computer monitor and you have a graphics card like a 4080 or 7900XTX to even Reach 144Hz at 4K.
it's really not fair to compare it to an OLED just because of price. There is also a B4 OLED that's even cheaper than the C4... Compare LED to LED... I think Rtings just kind of "hate reviews" Sony products.
They ALWAYS recommend something else instead. The Bravia 8 is WAY better than the review they gave it here as well.. Sometimes they just look at numbers and think that tells the whole story, like the 144hz business.. its nearly useless but they make it out to be WAY better..... its not.
I went to Costco and viewed this tv from an angle. I do not experience the same disappointment with its viewing angle. It looked fine to me.
I think the talk of viewing angles is highly overrated.
@@JohnLassen-y4t I completely agree.
hopefully can get LG QNED91 2024 review.....
Good review. I purchased the Bravia 7 over the Bravia 9 because I needed the 55" size in my living room. I replaced a 7 year old Sony TV that started the back light pulsing. I have to say this TV isn't perfect and the viewing angles are the only negative that I only sometimes notice. From a technical perspective Sony nocks it out of the park with image processing. Sony just does it best IMO. I've watched other friends TVs and viewed Samsung and LGs offering in stores and the Sony images just look better to my eyes. After all I'm the one that's viewing it. I only need the use of one HDMI 2.1 port as this will not be my gaming TV and will only have a Sonos system plugged in. For me this was the best TV offered in the 55" Inch category. I would have gone Bravia 9 if it had a 55" offering.
I've had this TV for a week now, and I can honestly say I don’t see any issues with off angle viewing or reflections. Obviously, the screen has some reflection when it is off, but once it is on, there isn't an issue. I mean, if you are watching a very dark movie, while sittting in a brightly lit room, with bay windows, and every light in the house on there may be an issue, but that's what blinds and light switches are for. Picture processing is amazing in SDR and HDR. Upon rewatching some movies, I saw details and textures I didn’t know existed. Colors are very vibrant in SDR and HDR. Streaming even looks close or on par with disc. Gaming mode also looks great after a few minor adjustments. I thought my 2018 Vizio P65-f1 looked great, but after staring at this TV for a week, I may have been very wrong. If you get this TV you will not be disappointed. I'm convinced that they review these TVs in some absurd lighting conditions and from angles no one will ever be watching from.
How is live sports on B7?
@von6823 I don't watch sports, but from what I've heard, it looks pretty good.
Most of their complaints are towards things no one notices lol View angles? Nevetr noticed this until I discovered the OLED hive mind.
This TV is way better than rtings review says. I saw it in person today and its really fantastic looking
@@mgaming7 It really is.
Hi rtings are you going to review the 2024 tcl qm8 anytime soon 😊
We've purchased it, but we're still waiting on it to arrive in our lab!
Big miss by dropping the XR wide found on the 93L for better viewing angles.
They went for clearer picture, which is big for people that try to sit in front of their TV.
@@notsoeloquentlol exactly
@@notsoeloquent If that's so, why are the HDR images of the Bravia 7 on Ratings not clearer than the X95L's? Granted, it's a camera but every Sony is clearer than other TV manufacturers by a mile so they are picking up detail.
I sit in front of my TV when watching, it's in front of the couch. not off to the side at a 50 degree angle
Idk there are those times where I just watch from the very side. Guess this tv isn’t for me.
This is a fine review! Keep making videos like this.
Sony should have offered the Bravia 9 in a 55" size. Another miss by Sony.
@CarreraTrackOntheFloor - I would have also liked the Bravia 7 in 50" size.
Unfortunately Sony stopped offering 55" versions of their highest-end LCDs years ago, so I knew not to expect a 55" Bravia 9.
What stings even more is that, here in Europe, we don't even get the Bravia 7 in 55". So basically the message from Sony is that, if I want a 2024 Sony TV in 55", it's OLED or bust.
Very disappointing TV for the money especially when you compare it to the competition as shown at the end of the video. They still haven't fixed their lackluster gaming performance and features compared to TVs much cheaper too. I was excited for this TV but it's another disappointing set unless you exclusively watch movies. Cheaper brands are far better for gaming and at least on par for regular TV content.
How are other TVs better for gaming? If you pause the game, go look at the C4 and the A80K or the A95L vs the G4 and S95C.
@techsamurai11 they have lower input lag, for example the Samsungs and LGs have around ~5ms input lag at 4k120 whereas the Sony's have 10ms. I own a Sony TV currently and I can definitely feel the difference in responsiveness despite it being only millisecond differences. The Samsungs and LGs also have ~10ms input lag at 4K60 which is 6ms below one frame at 60hz whereas Sony has 17ms which is above one frame of input lag.
Also support for 144hz and way more HDMI 2.1 ports which is good if you own a Gaming PC, eARC soundbar and console which require 3 ports.
@@Mo-eh1bq You should watch Digital Foundry where they talk about all games having massive internal lag that's 10x-30x more than the TV's lag.
But the difference between a Sony and a LG in visual quality (not talking about the dim issues of the LG in SDR) is massive. Imagine playing FIFA on a LG and a Sony, the jerseys and crowd will be much clearer ont he Sony.
If you owned a PS4 and games on a Sony, you were enjoying PS4 Pro level graphics.
@@Mo-eh1bq All games have their own lag which is 5x to 30x more than the TV's lag so what you feel isn't the TV but the game itself.
The visual quality of a game like FIFA on the Sony vs LG is massive with the crowds, jerseys and decals. Any game really. If you had a PS4 and a Sony, you were enjoying PS4 Pro level graphics - that's how much more detailed the image was between Sony and LG. And it still is.
@techsamurai11 no I own a Sony TV and no it isn't more detailed than LG since I also have an LG oled to compare to
I’m looking at this tv or the Bravia 9 when it comes to uk in 65” which it apparently is. I would have OLED but despite what all the OLED fanboys say there are still cases of people having problems with their screen. I had 3 OLED 2/3 years ago and all went back and I still hear of it happening now. People say this isn’t worth the price well neither is an OLED with the risk it has.
MediaTek (who make the SOC in Sony’s TVs, along with many other brands) have just announced a new chip that allows for all four HDMI ports to be HDMI 2.1 and will be in consumer TVs from 2025. So if having all four HDMI ports be 2.1 compatible is important to you then you might want to wait another year to upgrade.
I gave a thumbs up for abby
Ok so I own the 75” Bravia 7. Coming from a 75x95g. I primarily use my TV for watching films on bluray (standard and 4k discs), streaming through all the standard apps and sport (4k when available). No gaming. I’ve calibrated it to Rtings recommendations but honestly out of the box it was pretty close. Does it have some reflection during the day when it’s full sunny, yes but it’s honestly not annoying or something that affects the viewing experience. Is there blooming, yes but honestly only if your really looking for it and when I say looking for it’s totally not a factor. Viewing angle isn’t that bad either. I feel like these things are big beat ups and really great to know but in real world factors not an issue.
You can complain about the price but you’re buying the Rolls Royce of processing and brand imo. Accuracy and true to the directors content is what I’m all about and this is flawless!
I’m not justifying my purchase, I got it super cheap through good contacts so I’m lucky but the tv is really amazing
How is watching live sports on B7?
Interesting. I’ve got a 65” x950g in Aus and considering this as an upgrade in the near future. What’s the 4k HDR content difference - usually play mine via PS5 so not high standard but definitely interested in the difference generally speaking.
@@von6823 4K AFL or F1 even the rugby looks stunning
@@Exisentialist05 I loved that TV - unfortunately it was dropped in a recent move so was forced to upgrade. The 95G was my first top TV and boy did I get amazing use out of it. This is a massive jump but honestly you’re not going to get that wow I got from buying the 95G. It’s improvements all round especially in the blacks and colour.
After 3 months of use there really isn’t anything I can talk about badly apart from the viewing angle stuff which only because I look for it you can def see the colour wash out when you move off centre. Again nothing bad but it’s there.
From my own research prior to buying the B7, the direct comparison to our 95g would have been the x90L and that is great telly for the price. This is a big jump
@@Exisentialist05 look off the bat the X95G is an amazing telly and my first top TV. The only reason I had to upgrade is due to it being dropped in a recent move. 4K HDR and even SDR is where it does its best work. The picture looks more vibrant and colours are way deeper than 95G. Blacks are the biggest jump. In all aspects the tv is better from the OS to the performance. Sound was a big one too when playing through my Denon amp or recently when I updated to the Q990d. All formats play as well even from my USB with it passing HD master audio.
The biggest Ick I have is the viewing angle it really does wash out if you’re not off centre but again not a factor. It’s just because I’m aware and look for it.
Don’t think you’re going to absolutely wowed the x95g stacks up. But it’s def a big improvement. If you were going let’s say the x90L then it wouldn’t be that much diff but this is def a big upgrade.
Why did they ruin this tv with a poor viewing angle? Did they have to cheap out on the X wide angle?!
X95L better
This TV is not worth. Bad viewing angles in 2024 is really a mess. The great contrast is destroyed if you move off center. ADS panel would be better if they not want to use a wide viewing filter. VA without that is bad.
Is anyone reviewing the Bravia 3? Great in-depth review as always! 👏
Nothing on our end yet, but likely at some point! www.rtings.com/discussions/3CS1lsCd0S6roieb/review-updates-sony-d
A friend got the BRAVIA 3 the Biggest thing he said was DETAIL in the images Other than that he said for the price everything else works really well once you get the settings right and he said it give the U8N a run for it's money as he Has that TV Hope that helps
It's stardate 2369 and Sony still thinks it's a good idea to charge a premium price and only include 2 hdmi 2.1 😹 one with e-ARC 😹😹😹 no 1440p
Not everyone needs wide angles !!!, myself, I’m more interested in a great picture.
❤Abby ❤ is Rtings Smart household Angel ! Guys she is smart !
Seems like a pretty good TV, would have to test the viewing angles myself though. Im upgrading from a budget 1080p samsung and dont notice major issues.
@alsayedfakhri4597 - VA panels provide better contrast at the cost of more narrow viewing angles. Step up to the Bravia 9 if wider viewing angles are important to you.
Who eatches tv from 45° angle? Is viewing angle really relevant for buying tv?
As always, at the end of the day we come to the same conclusion with Sony tv's ... overpirced, and there are other better (and cheaper) options.
You mad you can't afford a Sony? If you want the best you're gonna pay for it.
thing with viewing angles , is not one expects poor results anymore , so is a disappointment when you see it, may not affect your day to day though
You state you have tested tv's with better processing. Name them.
just get the new lg qned mini led. beats sony hands down.
If you connect a 2.1 receiver to hdmi 3, please explain how you are losing one 2.1 port when I've actually gained an extra 3 ports that support 4k120 on my Denon X2800H, while also supporting thar in HDR/Dolby Vision. Why do reviewers miss this out ???? This is all connected to my A95K & im also using my Series X & PS5
This is why I find it hard to take RTINGS reviews seriously.
Hard to believe what Sony is charging compared to OLED prices??
I think Sony is going to be unpleasantly surprised with it’s TV sales this year.
@Abubaker42 - Why do you think that?
You mad you can't afford a Sony?
@@furballbear IMO in terms of their offerings relative to their competitors they don’t have leverage to command these prices this year, additionally I think global inflation will make most consumers price conscious, I think the market is shifting towards the Chinese manufacturers TCL and Hisense (like what’s happened with Korean companies Samsung and LG before) and Sony is yet to pivot or offer vastly superior technology.
@@alananderson7903 Really!! whatever makes you happy my friend! my Sony A80J and AV receiver and home theatre sound system would bet to differ. However, don’t let me stop you from telling yourself what you need to here 👍🏽
@@furballbear the prices they are commanding in comparison to the features they are offering relative to their competitors is off.
A few years ago Sony was way ahead that lead is not prominent anymore the thing that Sony has still going for is its reputation and QC.
I think more consumers will gravitate to TCL and Hisense albeit perceived a lesser quality. The Chinese brands are in a similar position that the Korean (LG & Samsung) were years ago. I believe they will continue to grow in market share.
So Rtings can't recommend it. Therefore it must be good.
Their only complaint seems to be off angle viewing and reflections which aren't really even an issue.
A receiver gives you a lot more hdmi 2.1 ports.
How is live sports on the B7?
Really good review. Given the price, it does seem hard to argue against the LG C4... or even the C3, if you can still find one
Another way of looking at it: everyone hooking up their soundbar/receiver with HDMI 2.1 ports to the Hisense, will have all the HDMI ports downgraded to 2.0. On the Sony you’ll actually get extra HDMI 2.1 ports. Perspective 🤷♂️
@lukevanderwaal - I suppose that's because Hisense users don't invest in high-end sound systems with HDMI 2.1 support.
I received it today. The viewing angle is horrible.
I put the TV on a piece of furniture 1m high and the fact that I'm not sitting at the same height as the TV, the picture is washed out.
It's crazy to pay 2000$ and have this kind of problem.
I'm going to take it back to the store, it's a shame because the basic image is sublime.
That means it's not going to work for TVs over fireplaces. You'd be shocked how many people have their TVs installed there. Actually this TV probably can't be wall-mounted even 1 foot above the cabinet without a change in picture quality.
I am a bit late but nice review. Which model is the Bravia 7 replacing? the X90L?
No it replaces the X93L. The X90L is UNDER this model. but above the Bravia 3...... The Bravia 9 is the X95L replacement
It would be awesome to see a side by side comparison of Sony Bravia 7 and Sony X95L, because the production of X95L should be continued and they will be present on market together.
Bravia 7 is fine grain matted . The X95L is glossy .
Also Bravia 7 has Half of contrast of X95L . X95L is way more premium .
Thanks for the review RTINGS, I was curious.
We've tested the Bravia XR70 as well.
It's a darn good tv..., if it wasn't for the extremely poor viewing angles. You can't sell a tv like this, especially not at this tier and price, so disappointed about that, Sony!
I'm wondering who Sony are aiming any of its 2024 range at to be blunt. Grossly expensive, not very good QLEDs which are still nowhere near its own OLEDs, no models other than arguably the 9 better than the G4 or even the now vastly reduced C3, and the 9 not available below 75" outside of the US.
Exactly. When it's in the OLED price range, it simply makes no sense to buy this unless you're dripping money.
Brand loyalists will buy it uninformed
@@ByteSizedSociety Not if they've neither the room size or the money.
Overall the Bravia 7 seems like a great addition to Sony's lineup. As usual the price is high but quality costs more. That's especially true when the competing Hisense set is known to have quality control issues.
Hey! Are you all planning to review the Hisense U7N and TCL QM7 for this year? Can't wait to see those for the lower budget mini-led!!
Yep!
Dear, i have sony tv, and the rating was good on ritings website, but during the updates on long times the ratings getting lowing on ritings website , was 8.1 now 7.9, so my question should i avoid updating the TV? Please advice.
I think they readjust rating as time goes on, otherwise a 9.0 from 10 years ago would still be a 9.0 even though technology has advanced so much its more in line with an entry level 7.0 nowadays.
Vewing angles of this TV spoils the excitement about this TV....The SAMSUNG S90D OR QN85D is a way better alternative to this though...👍
It doesn’t spoil for no reason tho. I saw Bravia 7 last week at Best Buy ! Most underwhelming thing ! 😅
Fine grain matted n pestle also 😊
It helps u to put hard earned money on better stuff
More like S90D or Hisense U8N , TCL qm851🎉
My Samsung TV broke in just 2 years. I'll NEVER buy Samsung again. Sony is the KING of TV's.
I'm still considering this TV since I'm not a big fan of oled with its crushed blacks.
I saw it at BESTBUY ! Even look worse in Person 🧍🏻♂️
Not worth it . Low contrast , pestle . Fine grain matted screen 😮! Over priced .

@@Alex335i yes Boss :):) lol 😝
@@Alex335i Loss of detail in shadows is considered crushed blacks...
You were doing well until you said - "The Hisense U8N is just as good as the bravia 7". That's when the review lost all its credibility.
Yeah, for whatever reason RTINGS is always pushing Hisense despite the brand's well known quality control issues.
The Sony 55 Inch X90L is $650 less than the BRAVIA 7 55 Inch. Is it worth dishing out the extra money for the BRAVIA 7?
I wanted to ask the same. I hope RTINGS can answer here... X90L is much cheaper that bravia 7 and if it''s less reflecting light i would definetely go for it instead.
I have the 65" X95L and I would say the bravia 7 is better than the X90L. The 65" X90L has 80 dimming zones - The 65" bravia 7 has 480 dimming zones (same amount as the X95L). It's a better TV. Wait till black Friday for a deal.

Hello ABBY
Is there Really any Difference between the BRAVIA 7 and BRAVIA 9 only cos the COST is like 2X +
For the same size TV ???
Is it truly worth spending the money to replace my 75 inch Sony 950H or should I wait until 2026
Great question, I want to know this
I would say wait until 2026 and get the second best Sony mini-led from 2025 on a discount.
Or just get the X95L this year at xmas or black friday, if any of them remain from last year.
My X95G died after 4.5 years, still under warranty so full purchase credit. Will be buying this as the next one.
I don’t know dude , I saw it last week at Bestbuy .i prefer the SONY X93L(semi gloss, more glossy version of Semi) over this one . The Bravia7 has thick fine grain matted screen . I don’t like it too much .
If you had X95 level tv (usually SONY put the X95 level tv more glossy ) you might NOT like the Bravia 7 as much . Bravia 7 Fine grain Matted .
Yes image will be major upgrade for sure . 👍🏻 just others TVs significantly better than Bravia 7 3yrs ago already . Samsung QN95B ,Hisense U8H (google panel ) in 2022 already going at around 160000-200000:1 contrast ratio . The Bravia 7 just doing 100000:1 today. Hisense U8N just came out 290000:1 contrast ratio . U8N is not even Flagship . 😊 n glossy. N there is U9N wll launch later year with Newest ADS-Pro panel (American Company BOE , 2X contrast of ADS, surpass VA, 180 degree viewing angle . FULL Gloss screen ) , TCL QM851 (VA) . U better wait out for the Best LEDs launch in the Fall :)
Hey, I have the X95G myself and still works nicely, though i have never updated it, last update - dec 2019. How did your unit die? I am quite interested and id be happy if you give me some details. Btw upgraded to X95L recently and it is quite the step up.
Overpriced tv. Also, no composite video capability. Get the X85K, it’s just as good. Anything above that set from Sony, is just a set with gimmicks that really don’t improve the viewing experience for 99% of people.
The viewing angles kill this TV because unlike the X90L which launched at $1,299 and dropped at $1,099, it's nearly double the price with better local dimming and more brightness (the X90L is decent). It's unacceptable at that price range... They should have gone with an ADS Pro, AUO, or even an IPS panel. It's insanity.
Sony will learn this year their tv sales will suffer greatly
Viewing angles aren't a big deal for almost 90% of people, no one watch tv from extreme angles.
@@kenadams9725 Most TVs go into living rooms which may be small enough that there's no angle but most living rooms may have a seat that's a bit off angle and you will also walk around with the TV off angle. It does look jarring to see a TV lose color as you walk around the room.
I'm debating between Bravia 7 and Bravia 9 because the price difference is big
Can you explain the differences between them and whether the price difference is worth the investment.
I mainly watch football in a lighted room. Today I have a Sony OLED TV and it has problems with burning pixels, so I want to switch to a TV with mini LED technology

@user-ky7nj8od8w - If you can afford the more expensive Bravia 7 you should get it although the X90L comes in 98 inches and the Bravia 7 does not.
Moving the eARC port off the HDMI 2.1 makes it worthless for a HDMI 2.1 receiver. Since it now no longer can output 120hz or VRR etc. So anyone with a good high end Receiver would be SOL. using a U8N. Not everyone uses a soundbar. This would be the reason why Sony don't move that port.
Hello Abby, another great TV review.😊
Thank you 😄
Thanks! I'll pass. Looks like I'm buying a 2023 or older because I aint paying for B9 until LATE next year.
im gutted. no 1440p. my 7900xt cant pull off 4k on some games. what panel type is it ? . bad tv viewing angles on a £1899 tv. That is shocking.
Im satisfied with my 85 inch x80k after messing with the pictures settings. plus i only paid $1000 after taxes
i recently checked out Bravia 7 and Lg C4 at store but to me the image looks clearer on Bravia 7. Ia that right?
Abby you explain everything so Perfectly you are very informative thanks for that
The term “Gamer” sounds terrible. Almost derogatory. 😅
ONLY 2 x 2.1 HDMI ports, wake up sony, time to give more ports to buyers.
Poor viewing angle and reflections are deal breaker for me. To me, its more important then color accuracy.
I thought this was going to be the TV for me this year until I heard about the viewing angle. Come on Sony you can do better what a let down.
Will you guys do a calibration video for this tv? I have one and I feel like it’s not the prettiest some days
abby ❤
2024, and Sony still takin up an HDMI 2.1 with EARC.
nothing 100 percent black level like oled unfortunately
Great review. You saved me from buying this TV because I thought it was identical to last years X95L (like the X93L was a rebranded X95K) but the downgrade in reflection handling makes it a hard pass for me as I have big living room windows and need great reflection handling more than anything else.
Bravia 9 please..
It's in the works! www.rtings.com/discussions/m0IRmeAXtPFn-eGA/review-updates-sony-bravia-xr-xr90
Falando de brilho e contraste pode se fazer os testes com imagens mais rápido mais pequeno minúsculo extremamente exigente pode fazer de tudo só OLED tem o poder de mostrar o contraste com brilho máximo cor nitidez tudo com detalhe precisão etc LG o melhor fabricante de TVS DISPLAYS etc do mundo LG tem credibilidade durabilidade etc LG capricha em tudo
I'm deciding between the Bravia 9 and Bravia 8. While I want the larger TV size (85 inches) that the Bravia 9 offers, I want a TV that excels at dark room gaming (Bravia 8). If I get the B8, it'll be my first OLED 😊
We'll soon have reviews for both of those TVs, so hopefully we're able to help you out! 😄
I went down the same path as you about 3 years ago. As someone who owns a sony a90j, if you're a brightness nut and want the best HDR experience when gaming, mini led is the way to go. I have had so many problems with ABL kicking in on my OLED. And the sdr brightness is laughable. I'm getting the Bravia 9. You really need to figure out what you prioritize. If it's pixel response, you want an OLED. If you want HDR pop, mini led. Oleds still struggle to come out of pure black to gray and suffer from black crush. When gaming, I've had issues not seeing people in dark corners due to this. I made a video on my channel covering my thought process
Bravia 8 is a samsung qd oled. and i have 2 dead samsung s95b tvs. dont risk it or make sure you have good insurance
@@westyk52sparky the Bravia 8 is not a qd oled. It is a wrgb OLED from LG. I believe it is using the MLA technology as well. Could be wrong.
Sony's a95l is carrying over from last year as their qd oled offering
Appreciate the advice everyone! What I will say is that burn in is an issue I'd prefer not to deal with. But I hear the Bravia 8 is using a new EVO panel from LG. Those are more resistant against burn in I hear.
I'm pretty happy with my 2 month old X90L lol!
Suggest one of the following TVs for watching HDR content and OTT movies: Bravia7,8, X90K, Sony A80L, LG G4, or any available Samsung model.

So what’s better this Bravia 7 or QM7 or U7N
everyone should have to include some bloopers to upload a video 😂
Yes, this TV Does have a simi-gloss screen. I find that so weird that sony TV's input lag is not as good or better than the competition, since they do make PlayStation.
It’s Sated as Semi gloss . But in person it’s fine grain highly matted
It means it has VA panel instead of IPS
WOW 👑 SONY GOD FOREVER 🥇✌️👑
yeah, get the LG C4 and enjoy DSE and OLED burning in less than a year
or the Hisense with the color/white accuracy of a potato, and as reliable as a Chrysler
the B7 isn't perfect, but I'd rather have poor viewing angles at 30+ degrees, than the B9/X93/X95L with Sony's X-Wide angle coat that is easily removed with a wet fabric, staining the screen permanently
Shoot are u d guy who wipe off the grease stain n the tv now has smudge in the mid of screen ? What model is your tv ? Is it ruined now ?
@@Yoga_Tv_buying not me but there are a lot of people with that problem, in other brands too

Could you please make a review of hisense 65 inch e7k pro
Unfortunately, we focus on the US market so we only buy products available for purchase in the US. Sorry about that.

Please review the Bravia 8 and Bravia 9 and please compare the Bravia 8/9 to the G4 and S95D.
We will be!
That’s great. I thought your review format and content is excellent. Succinct and I like the comparisons at the end for positioning. Keep up the great content.
But the U8N isn't just as good in every area. That is where it comes down to user preference. I would imagine since a TV is primarily a picture/image medium. One would think the priority would be how it handles the content and look at it's best.
Sony has off looking technology. It has 🟦BLUE -- light coming from Back as BASE !! Mix with 🟥🟩at front to creat ◻️. Because the strong Base of Blue , everything is off looking pestle . 🟪🟨🟧🟫🟩🟥 all expressed funny . Their whites were always 🩵 now 👚tone .
2010-2012 Global LEDs were 💯 produced by - SHARP TV . SONY Bravia was Sharp Aquos with SONY logo .
Hisense bought Sharp in 2015 . It has pattern SONY can’t touch , so they have to go with the Blue light route. Where image has pestle visuals u can not calibrate out of it due to strong Blue base light . 💡
Samsung /Hisense has ⬜️coming from back , so mix with 🟥🟦🟩, it can produce d most vibrant Colors 🟨🟧🟩🟪🟫🟥. It’s more CLEAN 🧼 type of vibrancy . Not pestle Condense looking
I had the U8K and a software update killed it for me.

Bravia 7 is better than the 80L.
Can you compare Sony Bravia 7 vs LG G4 vs Samsung S90D/S95D?
We don't have any plans to make a video for it at this time, but you can always see our comparisons using our comparison tool: www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/sony-bravia-7-qled-vs-samsung-s95d-oled/53322/49702?usage=1&threshold=0.10
why? You either want OLED or you don't. Compare OLED to OLED and compare LED to LED. LED blooms. OLED doesn't. OLED is better at gaming. OLED isn't as bright. Do you need a Bright TV? go LED...
