Is the 85-inch Bravia 7 worth it over the 75-inch?

If your room can take it and you sit far enough back, the extra size is the biggest upgrade you can buy. The 75-inch costs less and is easier to place.

How does the Bravia 7 compare with the Bravia 9?

The Bravia 9 is Sony's flagship Mini LED with more dimming zones and higher brightness, so it handles dark scenes with less blooming. The Bravia 7 costs less and is close for most viewing.

Does it support 4K at 120 Hz for consoles?

Yes. It has HDMI 2.1 inputs with 4K at 120 Hz and variable refresh rate, which suits PS5 and Xbox Series X.

The TV, its stand legs, a remote, and the power cable. A wall mount is not included.

How much power does it use?

About 374 W in typical use and under 0.5 W in standby, so it is worth checking your room's wiring and your energy costs.

Large TVs usually drop around Black Friday, the Super Bowl, and when a new model year arrives. Check the price history before buying.

Our take on the Sony 85-inch Bravia 7

The Sony Bravia 7 is Sony's upper-mid-range Mini LED 4K TV, and the 85-inch version is the biggest screen in the line. It uses a Mini LED backlight with full-array local dimming, runs Google TV, and supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It draws about 374 W in typical use and under 0.5 W in standby. It suits a large, bright living room where a 75-inch set feels small.
