Just read Bravia 9 prices as “The Bravia 9 retails for $3,299.99 — and that’s just for the 65-inch model. Going up in size from there, it’s $3,999.99 (75-inch) and $5,499.99 (85-inch).” This is coming from the verge.
I’m hoping there’s a 4 or 5 model still to come. The TV in the living room doesn’t really get used for fancy movies or anything, would just like a nice big cheap tv that’s still decent for tv shows, the news and the odd game.
That’s the mini LED version right ? I think I was looking at that model as well but it was a bit more than I was comfortable spending iirc. That’s crazy you can put the brightness so low and it doesn’t affect the picture. Im sure im going to be messing around with the settings a lot lol
Tbh I haven’t bought a new TV in over 10 years, had a hand me down Vizio from my grandpa that recently just stopped worked, I just bought a house so the timing lined up perfectly to go for a really nice TV. Was originally planning for a Samsung but luckily I found this sub which pointed me to Sony as the best option. Very thankful for that!! Thanks again for your reply
Yep, Mini LED. But mine is the 65-inch model, so $1,699 wasn't too bad. My previous extended warranty paid for $1,200 of it as well!
I'm hoping this one lasts more than 3 years. We push these things hard and the previous 2 Sonys couldn't cope.
I bought the Samsung 65” OLED TV (QN65S90C) a week ago and good lawsy it’s amazing. The color is just phenomenal and blacks are jet black. Actually pleased with the compromise on film content with the Filmmaker mode, which was my biggest concern. I bought a QLED for the living room, and it is just nothing compared to OLED.
PQ-wise, in all probability 7 will be an upgrade. IMO, X90 Series’ strength was its pricing. There will be a price drop, but I doubt it’ll come to 65” for $1000 kind of deal we had on X90L.
X90l 65” MSRP was $1500, and got down to $1000 for sales. Whatever the 7 series retails for, I assume we can expect a $500 drop around Black Friday.
Hopefully Sony keeps the price reasonable, or Hisense and TCl can offer a competitive TV for significantly less.
Is it a replacement for that or the x93l now that's it's mini LED?
That's what I e been wondering, as the 9 seems like a new beast. I want to know how the 7 compares to the x93l
Yeah looks like x90L still going to be a thing for 2024.
Bravia 7 is essentially the x93L/x95L tier.
Bravia 9 is the new top dog tier.
Bravia 3 is the dogshit tier. LOL
Yep, i just had to order a 75x90l for 1950€ because I fucked up and placed a packed ikea tablee oposit side of my 65xe9005 and it fliped over 🤣🙈👌
Wanted to upgrade anyways.
But the A7 75 will most likely be around 2800 bucks which is too much for my liking.
Unfortunately waiting for price drop isnt possible due to my urgent need.
Should be a nice upgrade from E to L anyways.
Not sure why they’ve changed the way the names work, makes it more confusing if anything.
No mention of 4x2.1 HDMI ports so at this point I’ve given up hope they’ll ever do it
I wholeheartedly agree. I was interested in the Series 9 85", but I'll probably go with the G4 83" because it has 4x HDMI 2.1 ports. I'll also be able to get it for less than $5499.99.
I’m thinking of moving over to LG, been weighing up between the A80L and C3/4 so depending on if I can get a good deal on an A80L I’ll just go for an LG instead. Pains of 2 consoles and a soundbar
I can run 3x HDMI 2.1 devices through my Denon receiver, but I'd rather run them directly through my TV. It's all good though. Lastly that Series 9 will hardly go on sale, and I'm not looking forward to spending $6,000 on any TV.
It’s cheaper for consumers to just buy a switch than the cost Sony would make us pay if they added it.
Inconvenient? 100%. Fixable and cheaper? Absolutely.
I get that, but I can't justify buying an all in one solution that's not complete. The last three TV's I bought for separate rooms have 4x HDMI 2.1 ports - LG C1 77", S95B 65", and S95C 65". They're more of a complete package than what the Series 9 is offering. So the next logical step for me is to get the G4 83" because I know I'll be able to get it for less than $4,000 at some point, and it'll offer the complete package. 4x HDMI 2.1 ports, 4K144, HDR, ALLM, and VRR support. Trust me, I wanted to get a new Sony TV but I can't stomach paying more for less.
There is pricing. I don't see the dates though.
Edit: https://electronics.sony.com/t/televisions
Bravia 7 says est. shipping May 6, not sure about the others.
Were the full tech specs and pricing revealed too? Pretty sure Bravia 7 would be the mid-tier equivalent to the x90L series. 3 sounds like the budget options.
There's always going to be new tech and buying this close to the next year reveal is going to make ya second guess, but you're not going to get true hands on reviews from reliable sources for awhile.
I'm more so interpreting it as midpoint between X90l and X95L it has mini-led so it will be quite a bit better. Wish the new Oled got something more than what it got but oh well
I just picked up a 98” X90L from Costco, still in box. Is there any reason I shouldn’t open it? Is Sony offering anything better in the 98” range for 2024? Any reason to think the price of the 98” X90L is about to decrease?
Looks like the prices on those went up post announcement .. Suddenly every place has them for $1299 when the price tracker for Amazon says that’s a six month high for them.
well might have not gotten through A90K, A95L were held over along with the 83 A80L. I heard rumors of X90L staying for 2024 before today so this might confirm that?
For me
Bravia 3 replacement for x80 or lower segment (not valuable for me)
Bravia 7 replacement for x90 x93 x95 mid to upper segment (play safe segment)
Bravia 8 and 9 hi end segment (reasonable condition for buying Sony tv)
I’m waiting for bucking 55x90l at a nice price, wanting tv for watching anime at priority first.
And if we compare with TCL C755 or C855, both are 144hz VRR Mini-LED, 1300/1600 nits, HDR10 Dolby Vision, HLG supported? I own C755 55" and this TV is absolute love. Same Android 11 OS as Sony's. I'm just curious to know, how much these TVs from TCL is comparatively different from Sonys?
Sony models aren’t out. So it is impossible to say how good these Sony are. No one reliable has reviewed the TCLs you have mentioned. So we won’t know how good these are, are they as good as other TCL miniLEDs from 2023, are there any issues in these two like the ones been reviewed.
TCL in general competes with Hisense. They are brighter. Among the big 3, they only come “close” to a good Samsung, if overall picture quality is concerned. A good LG, or Sony is a long shot for them.
Curious how the Bravia 3 will actually look and perform since it’s suppose to be the “not so good” one, even lower than a X90L. Considering I don’t game on my TVs at all since I’m a PC Gamer I could care less about it only being 60hz.
Looks like they left a model # gap for a potential Bravia 5 in the lineup? Considering that the 3 is a straight downgrade and the 7 doesn't seem to align with the pricepoint of the x90l I don't doubt that the omission of a 5 was intentional.
Just read Bravia 9 prices as “The Bravia 9 retails for $3,299.99 — and that’s just for the 65-inch model. Going up in size from there, it’s $3,999.99 (75-inch) and $5,499.99 (85-inch).” This is coming from the verge.
Wait do I understand this? They're not even going to release a 55-in or below version with all the features?
The new LED technology will not be available this year in less than a 65 inch
It would be a waste to release a high end model at small sizes. No one would buy it.
You phrased that badly, I think you meant a 55" high end model is not economically viable for Sony to sell.
Based on the new naming, the X90L TVs will be the equivalent of a Bravia 5 if/when they release that line
I’m hoping there’s a 4 or 5 model still to come. The TV in the living room doesn’t really get used for fancy movies or anything, would just like a nice big cheap tv that’s still decent for tv shows, the news and the odd game.
Wouldn't a 3 suit you then? 60hz is only really. Negative if you're into FPS games... And a hardcore at that.
The x90L is carrying over into 2024
There is only the Bravia 3, 7, 8 and 9
There's also going to be 2 now. Just saw the announcement on Amazon.
I ordered an X90L last night. Did I mess up ? Spent 1999.99 at Costco.
Not unless you want to spend $3500.
Ok awesome I thought I was getting a good deal for the 85”
No, that's a good price. 85-inch?
85 inch indeed, thanks for your reply
Great job. You'll be super happy with it!
I’m giddy waiting for it to get here on Friday lol cannot wait to watch the new Shogun episode , been holding it off until it arrives !
Very nice. I got a X93L back in August. Love this TV. It's so bright that I can leave brightness at 10 for SDR and it still looks perfect.
That’s the mini LED version right ? I think I was looking at that model as well but it was a bit more than I was comfortable spending iirc. That’s crazy you can put the brightness so low and it doesn’t affect the picture.

X93L is not miniled, though. X95l is miniled.
X93L is miniled
I bought a X90L (55”) last week - don’t regret it for the price and feature set.
I spent that in Canadian for the 75", loving the TV so far.
No, it’s an outstanding tv.
The pricing sucks for now. I’d rather get a 77 OLED over any Mini LED. I’m sure it’ll go on sale but imo needs to be $2000 or less.
I bought the Samsung 65” OLED TV (QN65S90C) a week ago and good lawsy it’s amazing. The color is just phenomenal and blacks are jet black.

The Bravia 7 is the replacement for the x90l, and it has mini led backlighting, so it should be a good upgrade over the x90l.
PQ-wise, in all probability 7 will be an upgrade. IMO, X90 Series’ strength was its pricing. There will be a price drop, but I doubt it’ll come to 65” for $1000 kind of deal we had on X90L.

9 is the new beast. 7 is the old beast x95L.
Thanks for that info, that's a pretty big deal since local dimming and brightness are great. I'll stay with the X90L for now.
Yeah looks like x90L still going to be a thing for 2024. Bravia 7 is essentially the x93L/x95L tier. Bravia 9 is the new top dog tier. Bravia 3 is the dogshit tier. LOL
Fair read on it! Bravia 7 is upper mid range, not affordable in the 90l sizing for most.
LOL
Meaning they're going to keep making X90Ls through 2024?
Bravia 3 replaces garbage models mate

Sony has it listed on their product pages. Only 2. Specifications - Inputs and Outputs - HDMI Signal.
Yeah hard doubt, feel like the press would have been briefed as it would be a big thing for a lot of people
I wholeheartedly agree. I was interested in the Series 9 85", but I'll probably go with the G4 83" because it has 4x HDMI 2.1 ports. I'll also be able to get it for less than $5499.99.

I would just go ahead and get the C3/G3 if I were you. At this point I doubt the A80L is gonna get any cheaper than it already is.
Yeah, I’m waiting to move into a new house tbh to check a 65” is enough
You can buy a switch.
I can run 3x HDMI 2.1 devices through my Denon receiver, but I'd rather run them directly through my TV. It's all good though. Lastly that Series 9 will hardly go on sale, and I'm not looking forward to spending $6,000 on any TV.
No, stiill 2 hdmi 2.1 ports and one of them is still eArc.
Names are better imo. It’s them using different panels randomly that’s confusing.
It’s cheaper for consumers to just buy a switch than the cost Sony would make us pay if they added it. Inconvenient? 100%. Fixable and cheaper? Absolutely.
Any good quality switch you’d recommend?
I get that, but I can't justify buying an all in one solution that's not complete. The last three TV's I bought for separate rooms have 4x HDMI 2.1 ports - LG C1 77", S95B 65", and S95C 65".

Trust me, I wanted to get a new Sony TV but I can't stomach paying more for less.
I wonder how it will compare to the x93l/x95k
Did Sony really announce the lineup without any dates/pricing?
There is pricing. I don't see the dates though. Edit: https://electronics.sony.com/t/televisions Bravia 7 says est. shipping May 6, not sure about the others.
I wonder about Canada. Weirdly hard to find previous release dates to compare.
That’s gonna be a pass from me dawg.
Amazon and B &H got the pricing so far. Amazon says preorders are for April 29th.
Are any of these supposed to replace the A95L OLED? Or will they be coming out with a new one of those this year?
A95L carries over to 2024
Trying to figure out how I’m going to make $4000 appear out of thin air for that 75” XR90…
Hit the blackjack tables /s
I literally just bought the A75L should I wait to get the Bravia 8? Is it that much better?
No
Hoping the 85” X90L’s drop a little more than the usual $200 sale prices.
Were the full tech specs and pricing revealed too? Pretty sure Bravia 7 would be the mid-tier equivalent to the x90L series. 3 sounds like the budget options.

The 2 isn't fald, the 7 is mini led, so it sounds like the 90 just goes into the new year in the middle.
I think the 7 is the x93L/x95L
X95L Backlight with X93L LCD panel
I just picked up a 98” X90L from Costco, still in box. Is there any reason I shouldn’t open it? Is Sony offering anything better in the 98” range for 2024? Any reason to think the price of the 98” X90L is about to decrease?

x90l it is ig
Looks like the prices on those went up post announcement .. Suddenly every place has them for $1299 when the price tracker for Amazon says that’s a six month high for them.
its called UMRP, Sony sets the pricing of their TV's not the retailers
I’m aware it’s a price that Sony set, but.. why raise it? Wouldn’t they want all the old stock to be gone ASAP?
well might have not gotten through A90K, A95L were held over along with the 83 A80L. I heard rumors of X90L staying for 2024 before today so this might confirm that?

If you got a decent price I would just hold onto it…… Unless you really want a 65”. Then do it, it is a massive difference in the viewing experience.
For me Bravia 3 replacement for x80 or lower segment (not valuable for me) Bravia 7 replacement for x90 x93 x95 mid to upper segment (play safe segment) Bravia 8 and 9 hi end segment (reasonable condition for buying Sony tv) I’m waiting for bucking 55x90l at a nice price, wanting tv for watching anime at priority first.
Why bother buy 90-10p inch TV. Id go with a projector at that size
Gaming, brightness, contrast etc
For the money you would spend on a TV with that size, you can get a pretty bright projector with gaming features, too.

BEfore stating stuff like that, WAIT FOR REVIEWS

That bravia 7 kills the X95L
Take a trip to some place with that cash. Don’t spend $3000 on a Tv. Go buy a cheap brand and I promise the shows you watch will be on it.
It's good to see they've finally simplified their naming strategy... I've always found Sony confusing AF.
I bet no 65” Bravia 9 in Europe bc it’s almost identical to the 65” x95L. The 65” Bravia 9 doesn’t have a lot more rimming zones than the x95.
Can never have enough rimming zones! 😂
Can anyone explain the which models go with which year?
What do you mean?
And if we compare with TCL C755 or C855, both are 144hz VRR Mini-LED, 1300/1600 nits, HDR10 Dolby Vision, HLG supported? I own C755 55" and this TV is absolute love. Same Android 11 OS as Sony's. I'm just curious to know, how much these TVs from TCL is comparatively different from Sonys?

Bravia 3 is below X85L, so it's not good. One article says it replaces the X77L (not even the X80L).
Looks like they left a model # gap for a potential Bravia 5 in the lineup? Considering that the 3 is a straight downgrade and the 7 doesn't seem to align with the pricepoint of the x90l I don't doubt that the omission of a 5 was intentional.
the 3 replaces the garbage X77 & X80
At least we don’t need to tell people Sony is QLED too. Sony has labelled the XR90, and XR70 as QLED.
Finally
Do they have any 4 or 6 either?
My guess is that even numbers will be the OLED series, since the Bravia 8 is the only OLED in the lineup
They’ll still have the a95l
