Sony has launched two new high-end television models, the Bravia 7 II and Bravia 9 II, introducing a significant shift in display technology with True RGB backlighting. This update replaces the white backlights used in previous generations to deliver higher maximum brightness, improved color purity, and expanded color gamut volume. Sony has introduced the Bravia 7 II and Bravia 9 II televisions, featuring True RGB backlighting and a companion wireless speaker system.

Flagship TV models feature upgraded display tech, anti-glare film, and companion sound system.

The Bravia 9 II, identified internally as the XR90M2 series, serves as the flagship model in this generation. It features a newly developed Immersive Black Screen Pro film designed to reduce stray light reflections and increase apparent contrast. The television is available in four large-screen sizes: 65 inches, 75 inches, 85 inches, and 115 inches.
