“Why is the Bravia 9 $1100 more than the Bravia 7? Doing a compare here on Best Buy's website, the specs for each seem almost identical. A few minor differences but where is the 1100 dollars worth?”

In taking a deep drive into these two TVs, the main differences I see are: - Better "angel viewing" for the Bravia 9 (they are about equal at "center viewing"), - Slightly better blacks & contrast (but once you have the Bravia 7 in your home you will not be able to tell/remember the difference since the Bravia 7 has such a great picture), - Slightly better sound/speakers in the Bravia 9, if not using your own surround sound system (I use my own surround sound system which brings sound to the best level), - A backlit remote for the Bravia 9 (nice to have), - Perhaps a few extra for "gamers", which I am not I am sure there are a few other small value extras that majority of the people won't use. I would assign a dollar value difference between the Bravia 7 & Bravia 9 at no more than $300 - $400 (an amount that I would be willing to pay for the Bravia 9 over the Bravia 7). But at $1,100 or more in differences (depending on the screen size you are considering), the Bravia 7 wins that completion every time. BTW - I have heard some criticisms about the Bravia 9 that some people find it harder to adjust their picture settings to get to an optimal picture quality for most programing they watch. While the Bravia 7 out-of-the-box settings are pretty much plug & play.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Bravia 9 appears to have an anti-glare screen.
