Sony Bravia 9 K-85XR90

Das neue Top-Modell von Sony? Mit besonders viel Helligkeit und hohem Kontrast geht's OLEDs an den Kragen. Wie sehr, zeigt unser Test.

The Sony BRAVIA 9 is great for mixed usage. It really excels in reference conditions like a home theater due to its excellent black levels, impressive colors, solid accuracy, and HDR brightness capabilities. You also get top-tier image processing that makes DVDs, cable broadcasts, and compressed streams look good. This TV also performs very well in a bright room thanks to its superb SDR brightness, but it does struggle a bit with direct reflections. The TV is good for gaming, mostly due to its overall image quality, but it does struggle with displaying sharp motion, and its input lag is higher than similar models from other brands. Finally, it has a wide enough viewing angle for watching content with a couple of friends, but since the image degrades from more aggressive angles, it's not good for large seating arrangements.

The Sony Bravia 9 has its compromises, but when you see it kick into action with bright scenes, you’ll likely be willing to forgive it.

The Sony Bravia 9 is a mini-LED TV that manages to outdo its high-end TV competition when it comes to overall brightness. Its excellent local dimming presents strong competition for OLED TVs, and an anti-reflective screen makes it a great option for sports. Sony’s switch from OLED to mini-LED for its flagship TV seems well justified by the Bravia 9, and it’s also priced lower than other OLED and mini-LED flagships.
