Which has the better picture?

The BRAVIA 5 has the newer XR Backlight Master Drive and Dolby Vision, so it should edge out the BRAVIA 7 on contrast control and HDR. The BRAVIA 7 is still a strong Mini-LED set, but it is a 2024 design.

Is the BRAVIA 7 worth $2,698.00?

That is the best new price at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026. Whether it is worth it depends on the BRAVIA 5's price at the same time; check both before deciding.

Which is better for gaming?

The BRAVIA 5 lists a 120Hz panel, which suits consoles. The BRAVIA 7 listing shows HFR as No, so the BRAVIA 5 is the safer pick for high-frame-rate gaming.

Do both support Dolby Vision?

Only the BRAVIA 5 lists Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced. The BRAVIA 7 lists HDR but not Dolby Vision.

Which has more HDMI ports?

The BRAVIA 7 lists four side-mounted HDMI inputs. The BRAVIA 5's HDMI count is not given in this comparison.

Which is easier to wall mount?

The BRAVIA 7 uses a 400 x 400 mm VESA pattern and weighs about 48.6 kg without the stand. Check the BRAVIA 5's VESA spec before buying a mount.
