I spent an hour testing Sony’s Bravia 9 II True RGB TV, and it’s pretty awesome – but my OLED isn’t going in the bin yet

The Sony Bravia 9 II and Bravia 9 TVs, and the Sony BVM-HX3110 mastering monitor, photographed on a black desk, with Sony demo footage on the screens.

The Sony Bravia 9 II is perhaps the most impressive backlit TV I’ve ever seen. And yet, after spending time with it in Tokyo a couple of months ago (here’s my Bravia 9 II hands-on), I still don’t think I would swap my OLED for it.

That might sound odd, considering the Bravia 9 II is in many ways exactly what the TV industry has been promising us for years. It’s dazzlingly bright, remarkably controlled, deeply cinematic and, in terms of colour reproduction, genuinely closer to a studio mastering monitor than maybe any other TV I have tested.
