At high-end assault with QD-OED and its best mini led technology

Sony’s bet for 2025 is something atypical. And this year he will not renew its entire range of televisions; It will complement the most advanced models that it launched in 2024, among which the Bravia 9, 8 and 7with three new devices. As we are about to verify, the Bravia 8 II It seeks to replace the model with an organic panel last year, but Bravia 5 and 3 expand a line of proposals that in 2025 will be more ambitious than in 2024.

Although we are about to investigate on the televisions that this Japanese company will place in the stores during the next weeks, it is worth not overlooking that we have very interesting clues about what will propose in 2026. And what will arrive is, neither more nor less, than its first televisions equipped with a RGB LED matrix. We have talked about this technology quite depth in The article we publish in mid -March, and excites us. After all, it promises to make a very important leap forward as an image.

These three televisions reinforce the range Sony proposed in 2024

I propose that we start investigating the most ambitious television characteristics of those who have just presented this brand: the model Bravia 8 II. His heart is An organic matrix QD-OED of the latest generation with a 10-bit color depth and a 120 Hz native soda frequency. Sony buys their organic QD-Oled panels from Samsung, but the image processing algorithms are executed by the engineers of the Japanese brand themselves.

The new bravia 8 II delivers a bright peak level 25% higher than the bravia a95l

We have weight reasons to anticipate that this TV will highlight for its image quality. My partner Antonio Vallejo has seen it in actionand he liked it a lot. And I have thoroughly analyzed their predecessors, the models Bravia A95K and A95Land Its image quality is fabulous. An interesting note: According to Sony the new Bravia 8 II delivers a pico level of brightness 25% higher than the Bravia A95L. And nothing less than 50% higher than Bravia 8 of 2024. It does not paint but nothing wrong. In fact, a priori is a very serious candidate for better 2025 TV. We will see what happens finally.

We are now with the following TV on the ranks, the Bravia 5 model. Its heart is an LCD matrix goes from 10 bits capable of working at a 120 Hz soda frequency. Nothing especially remarkable so far. However, your best asset is your backlight system. And it is committed to a mini led diode scheme derived from that used by Sony in the models Bravia 9 and 7.

On the other hand, like all the TVs of the Prémium, high and middle ranges of this brand, you can deal with content Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLGbut not HDR10+. A pity. An interesting note: According to Sony the new Bravia 5 Multiply by five the independent local attenuation zones that it has The X90L model of 2023.

Finally, Bravia 3 is the most modest of TVs by 2025 of Sony. He proposes an LCD IPS panel of 10 bit and 60 Hz, and does not have mini LED backlight; Bet on the much more humble direct LED scheme, so neither its contrast nor its level of detail in the shadow and high light regions will be as high as in the upper models. Of course, it maintains compatibility with content Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLGas well as the ability to process audio Dolby Atmos and DTS: x.

During the next weeks Sony will confirm both when these televisions will arrive at Spanish stores and their price.
