Most well-known TV makers are preparing to launch their 2025 lineup over the next two months, which means that 2024 models are now available at sky-high discounts. For instance, Amazon's current offer for the Sony Bravia 7 might entice home theater fans who cannot or don't want to look past the inherent downsides of OLED televisions.
In this case, the 65-inch Bravia 7 is arguably one of the best mid-range options at its discounted sale price of $1,198 including free shipping on Amazon. This Sony TV deal is only available for Prime subscribers, but Best Buy Total members can benefit from the same offer. Both retailers offer the lowest price yet for the good-looking mini-LED television, whose MSRP currently stands at $1,999. According to Camelcamelcamel, the previous all-time low of $1,498 is undercut by another $300 here.
One reason for buying the Sony Bravia 7 is certainly the fantastic peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits in certain scenes, which is the number that Rtings measured during its comprehensive review. The mini-LED TV was also praised for its well-functioning local dimming and impressive color accuracy right out of the box.
That being said, the Bravia 7 relies on a 120Hz VA panel, which has noticeably narrower viewing angles than OLED TVs. Moreover, only two of the four HDMI ports support 4K at 120Hz, and very nitpicky users might notice some blooming around bright objects that is entirely absent in competitors such as the LG B4. All in all, this television is a good choice for HDR enthusiasts and buyers who prefer Sony's superb image processing and motion handling.
