On Tuesday, August 20, 2024, Sony unveiled its latest innovation in the television market with the launch of the Bravia 9 series 4K mini LED smart TVs in India. These new models, which succeed the Bravia 7 series, are equipped with advanced technology to elevate the viewing experience.

The series is also equipped with Studio Calibrated modes, which include Netflix Adaptive Calibrated Mode, Sony Pictures Core Calibrated Mode, and Prime Video Calibrated Mode. These modes are designed to ensure that users experience content as it was intended by the creators, with optimal picture quality.
Further enhancing the viewing experience, the Bravia 9 series is IMAX enhanced and supports both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, providing a true home theater experience. The televisions also feature XR 4K Upscaling, XR Clear Image, and XR Motion Clarity technologies, all of which contribute to sharper, clearer, and more fluid visuals.
For audio, the Bravia 9 series is equipped with Sony’s Acoustic Multi-Audio+ system, which includes a beam tweeter positioned at the top and frame tweeters on the sides, delivering an rich audio experience that accentuates the amazing images.
Gamers will find the Bravia 9 series particularly appealing, as it supports 4K at 120 fps, Auto Game Mode, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay. Additionally, users can control their PlayStation consoles remotely using the PS Remote Play app, which allows for game management from another room or even another location if the Bravia is connected to the internet.
The series also introduces a Game Menu feature, serving as a centralized hub where gamers can easily access and manage their gaming settings, status, and support options.
For those who frequently engage in video calls, the Bravia 9 series offers support for Bravia Cam, which can be affixed to the top of the TV, though it is sold separately.
The new Sony Bravia 9 series is priced starting at ₹4.49 lakh for the 75-inch model, and ₹5.99 lakh for the 85-inch model, positioning it as a premium option for those seeking top-tier performance and features in their home entertainment system.
