Bravia 9 (65-inch)

The Bravia 9 is Sony's mini-LED flagship and the brightest, most controlled LCD the company has ever shipped, using a dense backlight with far more dimming zones than typical to suppress the blooming that usually plagues the technology.

Read the product overview

Sony's processing remains the benchmark for upscaling, motion, and out-of-box accuracy, so it tends to make lower-quality streams and broadcast TV look better than rivals do. The trade-offs are price and ports: it costs more than the Samsung QN90D and ships with only two full HDMI 2.1 inputs, one shared with eARC, which is a real constraint if you want to connect two consoles and a PC. For movie-first buyers who value tuning over checkboxes, it is hard to beat.

How we assess prices

We use in-stock offers checked within 72 hours. Scores compare the current offer with that retailer’s observations from the last 90 days, requiring at least 14 observed days and a price from about 30 days ago. Suspect records withhold the score. Retailer conditions and prices can change.
