Overview
Sony builds this BRAVIA around a Mini LED backlight with local dimming behind a matte screen, while the XR processor upscales sources and steers the backlight. Google TV and phone mirroring handle streaming, and a compact stand footprint suits a narrower table.
Sony's Mini LED backlight reaches high brightness, so HDR films and daytime sports hold up against window light. Dimming happens in zones, not per pixel, which leaves faint halos possible around bright text on black.
Who it's for
Daytime viewers and console players with a smaller console table get bright HDR and a compact stand footprint. Movie fans who watch mostly in a dark room may prefer a self lit panel.
Pros and cons
- Mini LED backlight with local dimming
- Bright HDR with Dolby Vision support
- Matte finish reduces glare
- Compact stand footprint for smaller tables
- Zone dimming can halo bright objects
- Modest speaker power for large rooms
- Only two USB ports
- HDR10+ not listed
Performance notes
Contrast comes from Mini LED zones that dim independently, so the processor's backlight control decides how deep blacks get and how much glow surrounds bright objects. The matte finish limits reflections from lamps and windows. Upscaling by the XR processor governs how clean cable and older streams appear on the large panel.
