Sony’s TV line-up is now both clearer and also confusingly named after launching its latest sets: here are all the official models and sizes it sells in 2026 | Daily Reports Online
- Sony’s 2026 TV range has now all been announced
- Three tiers: RGB mini-LED, OLED and LED
- In sizes from 43 inches to 115 inches
Sony has just launched two new Bravia TVs today, with the new Bravia 7 II and Bravia 9 II replacing the current Bravia 7 and Bravia 9. The new models have RGB mini-LED backlights and fairly hefty prices: the Bravia 7 II starts at £1,899 / $1,599 (about AU$3,560) for a 50-inch model, and this rises to £22,999 / $30,999 (about AU$43,165) for the Bravia 9 II at 115 inches.
Although the two highest-end models simply replace their predecessors, other models in the current Bravia range are a little more confusing: both the Bravia 8 and the Bravia 8 II are available, while there’s no Bravia 5 II – just the Bravia 5. And have you ever tried saying the name of the Bravia 2 II out loud to someone? It requires explanation!
It’s a little confusing (though only a little by TV-naming standards), but it all makes more sense when you see that the Bravias are broken into three tiers: True RGB mini-LED, OLED and LED respectively. The bigger the number, the further up the list it lives.
Which Bravias are in the Sony range of 2026 TVs?
Name | Screen type | Sizes |
|---|---|---|
Bravia 9 II | True RGB | 65, 75, 85 and 115-inch |
Bravia 7 II | True RGB | 50, 55, 65, 75, 85 and 98-inch |
Bravia 8 II | OLED (QD-OLED) | 55, 65-inch |
Bravia 8 | OLED (W-OLED) | 55, 65-inch (77-inch US only) |
Bravia 5 | LED (mini-LED) | 55, 65, 75 and 85-inch |
Bravia 3 II | LED | 43, 50, 55, 65, 75, 85 and 100-inch |
Bravia 2 II | LED | 43, 50, 55, 65 and 75-inch |
Let’s start with the flagships first.
The Bravia 9 II and Bravia 7 II are True RGB TVs. The Bravia 7 II is available in 50, 55, 65, 75, 85 and 98-inch versions, while the flagship Bravia 9 II comes in 65, 75, 85 and 115-inch versions.
That makes the Bravia 7 II the first RGB TV from any brand to come in a 50-inch version — previously the smallest was 55 inches — and that puts it right up there against the best OLED TVs if you want a premium TV at a smaller size. Those TVs should be worried: we’ve seen Sony’s RGB tech on multiple occasions and it’s very impressive.
The key difference between the Bravia 7 II and the Bravia 9 II is that the latter has a more powerful backlight than its sibling. It’s capable of 3,990 nits in Professional Mode. We measured the Bravia 7 II at 2,078 nits in the same mode. Both of those numbers are from testing pre-production models but we’d expect very similar real-world numbers — we expect there will also be fewer dimming zones and other changes in the Bravia 7 II, but we’ll need to test the TVs for more detail on that.
Next up there are the two OLED ranges, the OLED Bravia 8 and the QD-OLED Bravia 8 II. They both come in 55 and 65-inch flavors. In the US, the Bravia 8 is also available as a 77-inch TV. Here’s our Bravia 8 review, and our Bravia 8 II review, if you want to read about both sets.
And the final tier are the LED TVs; the Bravia 5 is mini-LED, while the Bravia 3 II and the Bravia 2 II are more standard LED tech.
The Bravia 5 comes in 55, 65, 75 and 85 inches; the Bravia 3 II comes in 43, 50, 55, 65, 75, 85 and 100 inches, and the Bravia 2 II is available in 43, 50, 55, 65 and 75 inches.
So that’s it — you can mostly just use the first number to tell whether something is better or worse than the other models, but sometimes it being a ‘II’ matters… and sometimes it doesn’t.
