Sony 65" Bravia 9 4K QD Mini-LED Google TV

Replaced my previous Sony TV (BRAVIA KD-55XF9005) which has performed flawlessly for over 8 years. The initial impressions are better than expected, brightness, contrast, colour and sound are all a step up from what was previously the top of the range model. I held off purchasing because I wanted to stick with a 55" model, I haven't adjusted my viewing distance and it doesn't feel overpowering.

100hz on the PlayStation 5 means the framerate is silky smooth, and is tempting me to go for a PS5 Pro as I feel I would be able to see the benefit now.

I almost dropped a star, because I feel in 2026 we should have 4 HDMI 2.1 ports and there's no reason for it not to have a 1Gb RJ-45 connector (rather than 100Mbps). I appreciate most people probably connect with the wireless option, but I prefer using a stable wired connection.

I've used a UGreen USB 3.0 to RJ-45 adapter to bypass the internal network limitation, as the UGreen is one of the ones, recognised by Google OS

I'm waiting the review after a year of use my SONY BRIVIA 9 XR K-85XR90 . Very good picture quality, Details and deep picture quality. Easy to set up. Sound quality is amazing. Very clean and details sound. You d't really need a sound bar. Very happy with a product. Enjoy every bits. Highly recommend to anyone.

I'm switching from the Sony XR950G to the Bravia 9, and I must say, it's unbelievable. The black levels are near OLED quality, with minimal blooming. The brightness is exactly what I need. If you're a movie enthusiast who watches HDR and Dolby Vision content, I highly recommend going for it. It's better than Samsung and TCL in the LED TV category.

Excellent sound and picture quality easy set up and unpacking

Bought this as a Christmas present (for myself) and what a screen. Was concerned about miniLed picture quality compared to an Oled but this screen is truly amazing. Very bright making it ideal for brightly lite rooms. No light bleed around bright objects on a dark background The sound quality it very good and this is not only the best screen I've seen but owned. It is a GoogleTV making it exceptionally versatile. You can download android apps. Bought a K-65X70U which is no way as good as the Bravia 9. These MiniLed tv's should last a lot longer than OLED as they deteriorate over time. Well done SONY.

Great viewing quality for the size, clearly a top of the line TV

Bought the Bravia 9 75inch TV just before xmas as wanted to try something else after my 8K Samsung TV stopped working after 15 months. The Bravia 9 is a fantastic TV, picture is so crystal clear and a I would have to say better than the Samsung one I had. The user interface is clean and makes interacting with the TV an absolute breeze.

A really great product !!

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
