Jump To: Price & availability Design & ports How we test Performance Gaming Sound Smart TV & remote Verdict After six months of lab testing the year’s newest TVs, it has become clear that the best TVs of 2026 are pushing brightness and color accuracy to new heights. Today’s flagship TVs from Hisense and TCL deliver good performance, thanks in large part to a backlight technology called Mini-RGB that’s changing the game for picture quality. Yet Sony isn’t sitting on the sidelines. Its new “True RGB” technology also promises independently controlled red, green, and blue LEDs under the display panel but, according to Sony, offers “purer color expression, improved light steering, and ultra-wide viewing angles.” The best part? You don’t need to empty your pockets to get a taste. Despite it being used in the flagship Bravia 9 II sibling, you can get it on the Bravia 7 II at a lower price. But does Sony’s new tech actually live up to the hype? After putting the Sony Bravia 7 II through our rigorous lab testing workflow and spending two days watching real-world content, the results didn’t blow my expectations out of the water, but I’m still very impressed.

Pricing for the Sony Bravia 7 II starts at $1,600 for the 50-inch variant , and goes as high as $9,000 for the 98-inch model. MSRPs for the whole range are listed below: 50-inch: $1,599 55-inch: $2,099 65-inch: $2,599 75-inch: $3,099 85-inch: $3,999 98-inch: $8,999 The 65-inch review unit we have comes in at $2,600. Sony’s flagship Bravia 9 II costs $3,600, so if you buy the Bravia 7 II, you can save an extra $1,000. Stepping down means sacrificing a handful of dimming zones, the anti-glare features, and slightly more premium audio features — but these compromises aren’t so bad given the price difference.

TCL’s RGB offering, the QM8L , has a price tag of $3,000 for the 75-inch model while the Hisense UR9 costs $2,000 for a 65-inch screen after the nearly unheard of $1,500 discount it received immediately after launch.
