Sony resolves my major hurdle concerning Mini LED, spurring concerns for OLED TVs' dominance.
The Sony Bravia 7, the latest addition to Sony's Mini LED TV lineup, is making waves in the industry with its impressive advancements in light control. This TV sets itself apart from other Mini LED TVs that have faced issues with brightness and contrast control in the past.
In the upper echelons of the market, OLED sets have been dominating our recommendations for the best TVs. However, the discovery of a five-star Mini LED TV like the Bravia 7 is a positive sign, indicating room for improvement and top-end performance in the competing panel tech.
One of the biggest problems facing Mini LED TVs has been their light control, as noted in a feature earlier this year. These issues led to problems such as images looking flat during bright scenes, black crush during dark scenes, and blooming in mixed light scenes. But the Bravia 7 goes a long way to fixing these problems.
The focus of the Sony Bravia 7 is on control and consistency. Its backlight controls offer astute and powerful retention of brightness punch for bright highlights and black level depth for dark areas in mixed light content. This results in a consistent picture quality that doesn't draw attention away from what's playing on screen.
The Sony Bravia 7 shares core DNA with the flagship Bravia 9, including advanced backlight tech, Quantum Dot color system, and the latest Sony XR processor. While the specific manufacturing company or panel supplier for the Bravia 7's Mini LED panels is not explicitly stated, industry insights suggest that Sony's RGB Mini LED panels, including those for Bravia 7 and 9 series, involve technology related to TCL panels or similar manufacturers used by competitors like Samsung and Hisense.
Despite the current dominance of OLED sets, the best OLED TVs, including the LG C5, a step-down OLED model, have shown palpable year-on-year performance improvements. However, the Bravia 7's strides in light control make it a strong contender for those seeking a Mini LED TV.
Our picks for the best 65-inch and 55-inch TVs include models that have been tested, including the TCL C855K, Hisense U7N, and Amazon Fire TV Omni Mini LED TVs. Unfortunately, these sets struggled with light control in their recent tests, underscoring the Bravia 7's improvements in this area.
In conclusion, the Sony Bravia 7 Mini LED TV offers a significant step forward in light control compared to other Mini LED TVs on the market. Its consistent picture quality and advanced features make it a strong contender for those seeking a high-performance TV.
