Sony Unveils 2025 BRAVIA OLED and Mini-LED TVs Showcasing Advanced Display Innovations
Sony has expanded its 2025 4K TV lineup, introducing the BRAVIA 5, BRAVIA 2 II, and the flagship BRAVIA 8 II. Unveiled during press events in Tokyo and New York City, these new models reflect Sony’s commitment to advancing display technology while catering to a range of consumer needs.
The BRAVIA 8 II marks Sony’s latest flagship OLED offering, succeeding the acclaimed A95L OLED. Equipped with a QD-OLED panel, the BRAVIA 8 II delivers 25% more brightness than its predecessor and boasts an expanded color volume thanks to its RGB-backlit technology. Available in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes, it features Sony’s XR Processor, which enhances scene recognition, HDR tone mapping, and upscaling performance. Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos support ensure an immersive viewing and audio experience, complemented by Google TV integration for seamless access to streaming services.
Midrange options are represented by the BRAVIA 5 Mini-LED TV, available in sizes ranging from 55 inches up to an impressive 98 inches. This model utilizes Sony’s XR Backlight Master Drive technology, providing precise local dimming with up to six times more dimming zones than previous models. The BRAVIA 5 supports HDMI 2.1 for 4K120 gaming, IMAX Enhanced content with DTS:X, and multiple calibrated modes tailored for different streaming platforms. These features make it a versatile choice for both gaming and cinematic purposes without the higher price tag of Sony’s top-tier models.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, the BRAVIA 2 II offers solid 4K LED/LCD performance without the advanced backlighting of the BRAVIA 5 and 8 II. Available in sizes from 43 inches to 75 inches, the BRAVIA 2 II includes essential features such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, 4K X-Reality PRO upscaling, and MotionFlow XR processing. While it lacks the local dimming capabilities, it maintains high-quality picture and sound performance, making it an attractive option for cost-conscious consumers.
Sony’s 2025 TV lineup demonstrates a strategic diversification, providing options that range from entry-level to high-end displays. With the introduction of the BRAVIA 8 II, BRAVIA 5, and BRAVIA 2 II, Sony ensures that a wide spectrum of viewers can find a TV that meets their performance requirements and budget constraints. These models are set to ship in the spring, offering enthusiasts and new customers alike a compelling array of choices in the competitive 4K TV market.
