Sony's new Bravia 6 TVs take on entry-level OLEDs

Sony has just launched the Bravia 6, a new entry-level TV designed to compete directly with models like the LG B6. The TV sits below its other OLED TVs, the Bravia 8 and Bravia 8 II, as well as its Bravia 9 II and Bravia 7 II RGB LED TVs. The new lineup is available in multiple sizes, starting with the $1300 48-inch model. We also have the 55-inch priced at $1,500, the 65-inch at $2,000, the 77-inch at $3,000, and the largest 83-inch model coming in at $4,000.

The Bravia 6 features a wide-angle 4K OLED panel powered by Sony's Triluminos Pro engine and a standard 4K video processor. It supports major HDR formats, including Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG. For gamers, the TV is equipped with the Pentonic 800 system chip and four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports, providing full support for 4K 120Hz gaming, Variable Refresh Rate, and Auto Low Latency Mode for the latest consoles.

It runs on Google TV with Gemini integration for voice search and includes native decoding and passthrough for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The TV also comes with a height-adjustable stand to easily accommodate a soundbar. To hit this lower price bracket, Sony made a few calculated compromises compared to its step-up series. The Bravia 6 omits the more advanced XR Processor and the premium anti-reflective coating found on higher-tier models.

Additionally, it lacks Sony's Acoustic Surface Audio technology, relying instead on traditional full-range drivers and tweeters. Peak brightness is also expected to be slightly lower, meaning it may perform best in dimmer rooms. At $2,000 for the 65-inch version, the Bravia 6 sits at the exact same price point as the LG B6, giving consumers a highly competitive new option for experiencing OLED technology on a budget.
