Sony has announced the Bravia 9 II and Bravia 7 II, high-end televisions featuring independently driven red, green, and blue lights for enhanced color accuracy. The release marks Sony's final premium TV sets before merging its home theater business with TCL Electronics next year.
The new Bravia models employ True RGB technology, allowing each color component to operate independently for improved picture quality and color precision. This approach differs from traditional pixel arrangements and aims to deliver superior color reproduction across the display.
Sony also expanded its audio offerings with the Theater Trio, a three-speaker setup designed to flank televisions and complement the Bravia lineup. The speaker system positions itself as a premium home theater solution, though at a premium price point.
These announcements represent significant developments for Sony's television division. The company's decision to merge its home theater operations with TCL Electronics signals a strategic shift in the market. The Bravia 9 II and 7 II are positioned as flagship products ahead of this transition, emphasizing Sony's commitment to display technology innovation during its final independent product cycle in this category.
OnePlus, the smartphone brand that disrupted mobile markets with affordable flagship-level devices, is withdrawing from North America and Europe to focus exclusively on China.
