The SONY BRAVIA 9 is clearly a success this year for Sony and perhaps the best TV this year. In this Tech Therapy video Fomo and I will describe what sets the Bravia 9 apart from other mini leds including it’s own past versions. Thank you for watching and I’ll see you in the comments!
You can purchase the Sony Bravia 9 and any other AV equipment from our good friends at Value Electronics https://valueelectronics.com/ or call them directly at 914 723 3344 and ask for Robert or Wendy and please mention Brian at BRIAN’S TECH THERAPY.

Yall ask how many dimming steps, or step equivalent the reference monitor has?
s95d king this year
Brian, qn900d or bravia 9 if they were the same price and you had to watch in a living room with canned lights on 70% of the time???
Bravia 7 and 9 have the same master drive same LEDs it doesn't have the wide angel or the peak luminous and the contrast is less otherwise it's the same .
The Sony guys talked about this.
The biggest difference are the dimming zones.
I wish this was in 100 inches.
Thank you both for another excellent discussion on one of the hottest TVs for the 2024 model year! You are a great TV experts by yourselves and you make a great team that gives everyone who watches this video everything anyone would want to learn about Sony's new flagship BRAVIA 9 QD MiniLED TV.
@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY hi Brian, im looking at the sony Bravia 9 85 inch and samsung qn90d 98 inch. They are at the same price at the moment and just wondering your thoughts on getting the best tv the B9 or getting a good tv qn90d at 98 inches. I watch all types of content. I love good picture quality but is bigger always better?
I really like this TV
Do you guys have an educated guess if we will see a QD Oled bigger than 77” next year?
Just grabbed the 85" B9 for $3700, really hope I've made the right choice. Upgrading from an LG CX, really want some extra brightness. Cheers for the vid mate 👌
Hello Brian, this is Michael. It was great meeting you and FOMO at MWAVE last weekend. You gave me some great advice regarding my JVC NZ8 vs. the 97" LG G2 OLED. The Bravia 9 is genuinely a top-tier performer in 2024; it would be my choice if I wasn't such a fan of OLED. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
I still have my Sony 65” HX 900 from 2011 and Maybe this Bravia 9 is better. No other TV’s are!
I'll tell what the probably the perfect TV is ..
Give me a B9 with the LG QNED89T 98" panel!
Sony should be able to get away with that for no more than $10,000 ..
And it would sell!
Possibly creating enough demand to bring the price down a few thousand in time ..
I Respectfully have to say this:
The Bravia 9 is not the better TV.
You guys are saying all these technical details……but in the end…..
……..Does the image suck you in? Are you mesmerized by the picture?
I spent 2 hours in Bestbuy comparing the Bravia 9 against all the best TVs … G4, S95D, S90, A95L….and my conclusion is:
The Bravia 9 compared to the top performing OLEDs…….the OLEDs pictures sucks you in with their 3D image, rich colors, contrast, and inky blacks.
The Bravia 9 picture looks flat……. it doesn't have that OLED pop either when it comes to colors.
And I'm sorry to all those people who recently bought the Bravia 9, because you got suckered into the Sony hype on their TVs and you overpaid for a TV…….so don't try to justify your poor purchase decision.
Being a Brighter TV doesn't equal better…..nope!
Bravia 9 >>>>>>> OLED
It’s so annoying we can’t get the 65” in the uk
Brian did hit the nail on the head – on majority of scenes oled was looking brighter – only in very few when content indeed was pushing hard B9 was brighter.
Let’s not forget better Oled contrast will make brightness seem higher even though being same – it’s not that Oled was brighter, it looked brighter – that’s what infinite contrast does. So b9 in given sizes is simply no go over similar Oled sizes.
I bought the Bravia-9 in 85 inch with the Sony BRAVIA Theatre Quad and am absolutely thrilled. The Picture of the Bravia 9 is magnificent in combination with the BRAVIA Theatre Quad, Movies and PS5 Games are outstanding and an incredible experience.
Remaster KONG SKULL ISLAND. Specular highlights would be amazing.😊
Do you think the Bravia 9 will come in 98" next year?
Was between the B9 and G4. After much deliberation I chose the 77” G4 for viewing angle and, (here’s the kicker) because the G4 actually ended up being several hundred dollars cheaper than the B9 through the LG Partner store plus Memorial Day discount when I bought it.
I like both channels, and helped me decided to have the Sony Bravia 9 K-85XR90, and I’m satisfied, but not very impressed by any TV, including this.
Bryan, sounds like you prefer a 85” Bravia 9 over your 83” A80L? I’m torn between the two. Movies, then Sports are my priorities. 😊
Great show guys!!! As Always.
My Bravia 9 is the best TV I've ever owned, and I say that as having owned 4 OLEDs including the A95L. Bravia 9 just has a beautiful, bright picture with amazing contrast. As someone who is very much into TVs and technology, it's the best TV on the market today.
Future proof? What tv is really future proof Brian when every year the manufacturers drop something new? Something they say is an upgrade and on and on. Sony and Samsung said that QD OLED was future proof and then they turn around and pretty much dump QD OLED and now are going with Mini LED as their top tier tv's. Give me contrast and black levels over a tv that burns the hell out of my eyes. Everyone is NIT crazy when it comes to tvs now days that its laughable. I have said it a million times and that is Mini LED will never beat OLED because LED is still LED no matter how you cook it or hype it. I will never go back to LED. Now when Micro LED hits? Maybe but thats years down the road. Otherwise its OLED or nothing.
If it’s true that 2025 Sony’s will have 4 x HDMI 2.1 ports, I’ll keep my A95L for another year. Def thinking about Mini LED for next year though.
Hi Brian, i got my new Sony 83" A80l on wendsday. I've been setting it up. It's so bright I've got it turned down to O or 10% brightness. I haven't gotten to try out my xbox on it yet.
Right now larger mid range is best value if you're mostly streaming because of compression, upscaling, etc still being a huge issue in the US as far as getting everything out of your screen. These greedy wifi and streaming companies may one day keep up with the tech but we'll also be paying the price. 🤦
It's definitely not a flagship, Sony are taking the piss…. It's just a glorified LCD TV not a flagship….
Brian, it was great meeting you at MWAVE. The wife and I are looking to get the G4. She had a high opinion of it over the others. Feels good to step up with the Highfalutin folks!😂
The Sony Bravia 9 looks like a great tv for an astronomical price. No thanks!
I wish you guys would make 3 or 4 more videos about the Samsung QN90D. Affordable, bright, colorful, reliable, and by Nov-Feb it will be very affordable (compared to Sony).
$4799 CAD is an insane price
2 hdmi 2.1 ports makes it a non starter. TV box and soundbar is 2, nothing left for gaming.
Where did you get the price on the 85" Bravia 9? I just looked it up and it was $4,800 at B&H and Best Buy. That's $1k more than you quoted.
B9 = Blooming opening menus (local dimming if turned off for some reason) annoying. Viewing angle on B9 is poor and you see blooming in black bars and subtitles easy. So for now I still can't buy it. Back to OLED, paying extra 1000$+ for a OLED with zero blooming is 100% worth it.
Who best tv 8k. Z3 or Z9K or q900d ?
Bravia 9 king of TVs this year to me
I think Bravia 9 beats G4
but it's unfortunate only 2 HDMI2.1, but if I am buying this year it would be Bravia 9
for PC maybe 240hz IPS or OLED monitor
FOMO after purchasing the reference monitor 😂😂😂😂 what a legend
