Sony’s first RGB TV is a statement piece

Key Points:

• Sony’s Bravia 7 II is an RGB LED TV that uses individually driven red, green, and blue LEDs for backlighting, allowing for greater color accuracy and brightness compared to traditional LED TVs, though it cannot match OLED’s contrast.
• The TV delivers excellent picture quality with 88% BT.2020 color gamut coverage, 2,200 nits peak brightness, and accurate SDR colors, with minimal and mostly unnoticeable color crosstalk during typical viewing.
• Design highlights include a unique lenticular screen stand that hides cables, but drawbacks include only two HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K/120Hz and a reflective screen that may affect viewing in bright rooms.
• Priced at $2,600 for the 65-inch model, the Bravia 7 II is more expensive than competitors like Hisense and Samsung but offers superior processing and color accuracy, making it a strong choice if OLED is not preferred.
• While the Bravia 7 II excels in many areas, it remains an LCD TV and cannot fully replicate OLED’s deep contrast and pixel-level control, though Sony’s processing effectively minimizes typical RGB LED issues such as color crosstalk.
