Sony BRAVIA 9 II review: what the specs say

Sony's first True RGB TV — individually controlled RGB backlighting replaces white LEDs entirely. At $3,600, Sony's 2026 model sits at the premium end of the category — the TVs we compare run from $279.99 to $12,999.99. It scores 8.0/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.

Its strongest showing is Picture Quality at 9.6/10 — panel technology, contrast, and color accuracy. The weakest is Value at 4.8/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.

Worth knowing before you buy: only 2 HDMI 2.1 ports — fewer than most competing flagships; and among the most expensive TVs in this entire comparison set ($31,000 at 115"). Every specification on this page comes from Sony's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
