Top 10 Sony BRAVIA TVs Ranked From Flagship to Budget in 2027

The BRAVIA 9 II is Sony's flagship, and it is the most expensive TV on this list by a wide margin. It uses True RGB, which means independently controlled red, green and blue LEDs behind an LCD panel, managed by RGB Backlight Master Drive Pro, RGB Triluminos Max and Luminance Booster Pro. Sony announced it on May 27, 2026, and TechRadar lists an August 2026 release. Tom's Guide measured 3,903 nits of peak HDR brightness in a 10% window on a production unit, far above the 2,713 nits it recorded for the original BRAVIA 9, and measured an input lag of 9.8 milliseconds against 17 milliseconds for the old model. Sony adds Immersive Black Screen Pro, an anti-glare surface that is not on the 115-inch size, and Acoustic Multi-Audio+ with up-firing beam tweeters. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, and runs Google TV with Gemini. Sizes and list prices are 65-inch at $3,599.99, 75-inch at $4,599.99, 85-inch at $6,499.99 and 115-inch at $30,999.99. The drawbacks are price and ports. TechRadar notes that only two of its four HDMI inputs are HDMI 2.1, and that Sony rarely discounts its TVs, so do not wait for deep sales. TechRadar also saw some blooming when viewed off-center. If you watch in a bright room and want the best picture Sony sells, this is the one.

The BRAVIA 8 II is Sony's premium OLED, and the right answer if you mostly watch movies in a dim room. It uses a QD-OLED panel with over 8 million self-lit pixels, and Sony's press release calls it the flagship QD-OLED and successor to the A95L. The picture comes from the XR Processor with AI scene recognition, XR Triluminos Max for color and a temperature sensor with XR Contrast Booster for controlling light. Instead of conventional speakers it uses Acoustic Surface Audio+, where the screen itself acts as the speaker, so dialogue seems to come from the picture. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and IMAX Enhanced, plus 4K at 120fps with VRR and ALLM over HDMI 2.1, and Apple AirPlay 2, HomeKit and Google Cast. It came out in 2025 at $3,499 for the 55-inch and $3,999 for the 65-inch. Sony now lists the 65-inch at $3,299.99 and was selling it for $2,499.99 on sale when we checked, which makes it a much better buy than it was at launch. The limit is size: it comes only in 55 and 65 inches, with no 77 or 83-inch version. For a bigger Sony OLED you need the BRAVIA 6 or BRAVIA 8.

The BRAVIA XR A95L is Sony's older QD-OLED, and it is still on sale at Sony. Sony lists it as a 2023 model in 55-inch, 65-inch and 77-inch sizes, and the listing we read was for the 77-inch size at $3,499.99. It is the set the BRAVIA 8 II replaced, and Sony's own 2025 release calls the 8 II the successor to the A95L. It uses the Cognitive Processor XR and a QD-OLED panel with a 3,840 x 2,160 resolution, which Sony says gives its widest palette of shades and hues, pure OLED black and high brightness. A feature you will not find on the newer OLEDs is the bundled BRAVIA CAM, which detects your viewing position and distance to adjust brightness and sound, supports gesture control, adjusts settings for video calls and has a physical privacy switch. Sound comes from XR Surround, which virtually creates 3D surround sound from the TV speakers, plus Voice Zoom 2 and Acoustic Center Sync. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, 4K at 120Hz, VRR and ALLM, and runs Google TV with Chromecast built-in and Apple AirPlay. It also includes SONY PICTURES CORE with 10 credits and 24 months of streaming if you register by February 23, 2028. Buy it if you specifically want a 77-inch Sony QD-OLED.

The BRAVIA 7 II brings True RGB to the widest range of sizes, and it is the model most people will actually buy. Sony prices it at $1,599.99 for 50 inches, $2,099.99 for 55 inches, $2,599.99 for 65 inches, $3,099.99 for 75 inches, $3,999.99 for 85 inches and $8,999.99 for 98 inches, and Sony was running a $1,599.99 sale price on the 65-inch when we checked. TechRadar notes it is the first RGB TV from any brand in a 50-inch size. Tom's Guide measured 2,077 nits of peak HDR brightness, which is respectable but roughly half the 9 II. TechRadar called it one of the strongest RGB TVs it had tested and measured an input lag of 10.4 ms. Sony gives it the same X-Wide Angle Pro and Google TV with Gemini as the flagship, plus Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG and IMAX Enhanced. Its sound uses Acoustic Multi-Audio+, and the full-range speakers are missing on the 50 and 55-inch sizes. The trade-offs are the screen and ports: TechRadar lists a reflective screen, average viewing angles and only two HDMI 2.1 ports among its drawbacks. It launched in July 2026. For True RGB color without the flagship price, start here.

The BRAVIA 8 is Sony's 2024 OLED, and it is mainly a price play now. Sony launched it in April 2024 at $3,899.99 for the 77-inch, $2,799.99 for the 65-inch and $1,999.99 for the 55-inch. Sony now lists the 65-inch at $1,999.99, and was selling it at $1,699.99 when we checked, with 55-inch and 77-inch sizes also available. It uses an OLED panel with over 8 million self-lit pixels, the XR Processor and XR Triluminos Pro. HDMI 2.1 is on two ports, with 4K at 120Hz, VRR, ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming, and the TV supports HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced. Like the 8 II, it uses Acoustic Surface Audio+ and can work as a center channel with compatible Sony soundbars. Google TV gives access to over 10,000 apps and games and more than 800 free channels, plus Apple AirPlay 2. Sony adds studio calibrated modes for Netflix, SONY PICTURES CORE and Prime Video, and a One Slate Seamless Edge design with a 4-way stand and a backlit Eco Remote. TelevisionCafe points out that the 77-inch size is useful when the 8 II tops out at 65 inches. An older release date does not make it a poor buy, so compare the sale price against the newer BRAVIA 6.

The BRAVIA XR8B is the confusing one on this list, so read the model number before you buy. Sony lists it as its own TV, model K-65XR8B for the 65-inch, with the same sizes of 55, 65 and 77 inches and the same $1,999.99 list price as the BRAVIA 8, and a sale price of $1,699.99 when we checked. Its title says 2025, but its specification sheet says model year 2024, and we could not find a Sony statement explaining exactly how it differs from the BRAVIA 8. What Sony does state is that it uses an OLED panel with over 8 million self-lit pixels, the XR Processor, a native 120Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 on two of its four HDMI ports with 4K at up to 120fps, VRR and ALLM. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and uses Acoustic Surface Audio+. It can act as a PS Remote Play client, streaming PlayStation games to the screen over Wi-Fi. It also has USB, an RF antenna input, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.3. The body measures 1442 x 829 x 37 mm without the stand. Buy it if the price is right at your retailer, but compare the full spec sheet against the BRAVIA 8 first, because the two look like near twins.

The BRAVIA 6 is the new 2026 OLED, and it is the best-value OLED Sony sells. Sony lists it in 48, 55, 65, 77 and 83-inch sizes, which is the widest OLED range in the lineup and the only way to get a 48-inch or 83-inch Sony OLED. The 65-inch lists at $1,999.99, and Sony was selling it at $1,199.99 when we checked, down from the $1,699.99 TelevisionCafe saw advertised on October 4, 2026. It uses a panel with over 8 million self-lit pixels and Triluminos Pro color, rated for over a billion colors. The standout feature for gamers is the port count: Sony lists four HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K at 120Hz, VRR, ALLM and SBTM, more than the flagship offers. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, plus Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and runs Google TV with Gemini, Google Cast and AirPlay 2. The narrow bezel and two-position stand leave room for a soundbar. Sony's listing does not mention the XR Processor or Acoustic Surface Audio+ for this model, so expect a simpler sound and processing story than the 8 II. If you have a PS5, an Xbox and a PC, and want OLED black levels without the flagship bill, this is where to look.

The BRAVIA 5 is Sony's mini LED for people who want a big screen without paying for True RGB. It comes in 55, 65, 75, 85 and 98-inch sizes, and Sony lists the 65-inch at $1,499.99, with a $1,399.99 sale price when we checked. It launched in April 2025 at $1,799 for the 65-inch and $6,499 for the 98-inch. Sony's release says it brings state-of-the-art features from the 2024 models into a more affordable package, with XR Backlight Master Drive controlling the LEDs and sharing core technology with Sony's professional monitors. It also uses the XR Processor with AI and XR Triluminos Pro, and Sony lists a 120Hz refresh rate. Tom's Guide highlighted an ambient sensor that adjusts colors and brightness to room lighting, and Sony says it automatically optimizes brightness for each scene to lower power use. The 65-inch measures 1447 x 832 x 58 mm without the stand and weighs 24.9 kg. Unlike the 7 II, it does not use True RGB, so colors will be less pure, and TelevisionCafe notes a larger BRAVIA 5 can compete with a smaller 7 II on price. Choose it when screen area matters more than the last bit of picture quality.

The BRAVIA 3 II is the budget Sony that gamers should look at first. It is a direct-lit LED with sizes of 43, 50, 55, 65, 75, 85 and 100 inches, and the 65-inch costs $899.99. Notebookcheck lists US prices of $699.99 for 50 inches, $799.99 for 55 inches, $999.99 for 75 inches, $1,599.99 for 85 inches and $3,099.99 for 100 inches, with US pre-orders opening on April 6, 2026. The headline feature is four HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K at 120fps, VRR and ALLM, which Tom's Guide pointed out is something even Sony's flagships lack. It runs the same XR Processor family as the expensive models, supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and uses Google TV with Gemini, Google Cast and Apple AirPlay 2. The compromise is the panel. Tom's Guide measured 520 nits in Professional Mode and found weak black levels because there is no local dimming, so it is a better daytime TV than a home-theater TV. It also noted the set is pricier than Roku and Vizio competitors, and the 65-inch is $100 cheaper than the 2024 BRAVIA 3 was at its $999.99 launch. For a bright living room and a game console, it is hard to beat at this size.

The BRAVIA 2 II is Sony's entry-level TV, and it covers the basics. The 65-inch lists at $699.99, and Sony was selling it at $649.99 when we checked. Sizes run from 43 to 75 inches. It launched in April 2025 at $699 for 55 inches, $799 for 65 inches and $1,099 for 75 inches. It is a direct-lit LED with Sony's 4K Processor X1, a step below the XR Processor in the other models, and Google TV, with Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast and compatibility with Alexa devices. It has 4 HDMI inputs and supports Dolby Atmos, and for PlayStation 5 owners it offers Auto HDR Tone Mapping, Auto Genre Picture Mode and ALLM. The limits are clear, though. TelevisionCafe lists a 60Hz panel, no VRR and HDR10 and HLG without Dolby Vision on the checked 65-inch, so it is not for 4K 120Hz gaming. The set is also light, at 19.7 kg without the stand, and measures 1447 x 846 x 83 mm. TelevisionCafe notes Sony lists it as a 2025 model in the US while its UK introduction was announced in 2026. If you just want a dependable Sony for streaming and casual viewing, it is the cheapest way in, but compare it with the BRAVIA 3 II before you buy.
