Sony BRAVIA 9 K85XR90 85" 4K HDR Smart QLED Mini-LED TV vs Sony Bravia 7 85-inch TV

Both are 85-inch Sony mini-LED 4K TVs, and the BRAVIA 9 is the step-up model. The BRAVIA 9 is Sony's flagship mini-LED, with a much denser backlight and far higher peak brightness than the BRAVIA 7, plus the wider viewing angle and anti-reflection coating Sony reserves for its top set. The BRAVIA 7 is the value pick: same Google TV platform, same 4K 120Hz gaming features, and a bright, accurate picture, but it gives up brightness, contrast punch and off-angle performance. Buy the 9 for a bright room or a serious movie setup; buy the 7 if you want most of the Sony picture for less.

• Choose the BRAVIA 9 if you watch in a bright room, sit off-center, or want the brightest, most contrast-rich mini-LED Sony makes at 85 inches.
• Choose the BRAVIA 7 if you want Sony's processing, Google TV and 4K 120Hz gaming without paying for flagship brightness.
