Sony 85" Bravia 9 – 4K QD Mini-LED Google TV

The Bravia 9 is a beast of a mini-LED/LCD television. I bought it upon release prior to many online reviews emerging, something I rarely do with any product, because I had faith in Sony's ability to produce the best mini-LED/LCD that money can buy. And they really have achieved that. The image quality is stunning. Yes, we all know that OLED's can't be beaten on contrast and pure blacks, but the Bravia 9 gets so close that I doubt you'd notice or care. Blooming is kept to an absolute minimum. I'd say 9/10 I don't notice any blooming, but perhaps on the odd challenging scene I can detect some, but it's extremely minimal.

Provided you're watching the TV straight on, the contrast and lack of perceptible blooming is top draw. And the good news is you'll still get extra punch over OLED on 10% peak brightness windows and upwards. While I am, for the most part, a purist and always watch movie content in Professional mode, I do like to apply Peak Brightness to SDR content. It looks amazing on the Bravia 9 especially with a well encoded 1080p (or even 1080i - in fact even lower resolutions are more than satisfactory on this set) and brings brightness punch that OLED just can't achieve.

Obviously my review isn't to convince anyone not to buy and OLED. Back when I bought the B9, I was toying with the idea getting either the Sony A95L, LG G4, or Samsung S95D, the flagship OLEDs for those brands at that time. I opted for a mini-LED/LCD instead for my own reasons, and I don't not regret getting the Bravia 9 for a premium that cost more than all but the A95L out of those OLED options. It's really that good of a television.

Had it a few weeks now. It is AMAZING. It is another addition to my Bravia collection and it is by far the best so far.

The imagery is very robust. Granted, the TV requires a good feed but expect perfection with 4K/HDR products. It can be tweaked to upscale HD and so on but it’s remarkably intuitive.

The Beam Tweaters are excellent. Add the Bravia Cam and you have a very intuitive tv indeed. I love it.

I would love to see 4xHDMI 2.1. Or 5 of em if possible.

But on the whole 10/10.

Very important: I went for the Bravia 9 over the Bravia 8 II because I have a very bright room and the Series 9 with the Cam, tackles that wonderfully. The camera registers the ambient light and adjusts brightness accordingly. Amazing.

This TV Is amazing and delivers both on screen display and sound to match

You cannot fault the superior performance Sony delivers in comparison to other brands

The picture quality is absolutely stunning—bright, incredibly detailed, and with deep blacks that make every scene feel cinematic. Colors look natural yet vibrant, and motion is smooth whether you’re watching movies, sports, or gaming.

Paired with the Bravia Theatre 9, the experience goes to another level. The sound is rich, powerful, and immersive, with clear dialogue and room-filling surround effects that make you feel like you’re in a movie theater.

Absolutely fantastic TV. 4k content is visually stunning! The level of image detail, colour and clarity produced is extraordinary.

Excellent TV, the picture is crisp and bright and can easily be seen, even on a sunny day.

When hooked up to my PS5 this TV is first class. The HDR and contrast really of this TV really show every detail in the games.

I bought this product a few months ago. I can't asķ for anything better. It is more than I expected. Excellent,

I bought this last week I'm so happy with my Bravia 9 great TV great Features

Finally took the plunge and purchased the Bravia 9 65” after taking 3months to decide!! Absolutely love it and the picture quality is brilliant with great sound although I kinda wish I had got the soundbar as well. This is my first Sony and I am very impressed.

I bought this earlier this month and am absolutely delighted with it the controls take a bit of getting used to and instructions on use should be provided but overall the picture and sound are amazing
