Good and bad, glitches and picture

Great picture on the best HDR sources, especially Dolby Atmos. The colors do pop and you can make the color volume soar. But outside of this, it is so so. Yes it pops pretty well, but I think AI and upscaling does too much and the focus almost floats in and out, mainly SDR and 480-1080P. We have an old TCL, 7 or 8 years old, Black Friday special 55 inch for 213 dollars. I had the TCL and the Sony on SLING, news anchors, and the close-up of the speaker was about the same look on both. Better color on the Sony and in most scenes it won, but in a few, the anchor himself looked the same. Sony won, but 200 dollars versus 3000, I guess I expected better upscaling. Overall Amazon and Netflix looked very good, not excellent like I thought they should, and yes I know about source quality. Also, it is very bright and the whites are really nice, but with a backlight you almost get a slight haze or a veil look in some scenes. I think this is where a G4 or OLED will win as it can get bright but still control the screen with excellent contrast and black levels. I do not see that haze on the S90D nor the C4, G4. Blacks were very good, but not OLED level of course. I compared my TV to my sons Samsung S90D and his was overall better in almost every setting and source, just the picture quality. I downloaded the new Twisters movie to Fandango and played it on my Sony B7, no matter what setting, it looked terrible. Brand new movie. Yes, some cloudy and grainy shots made that way purposefully. The 77 S90D looked twice as good. Impressive for a 2200 dollar OLED. Motion Processing is a bit better on the Sony though. My other son has the C4. I just think it is a little shy of brightness and clarity pop in many images, so image wise they traded blows but I like the Sony better, mainly due to color pop and brightness, but that is in HDR or DV. It had some glitches electronically, like the power off for no reason, but that did not occur often. I maybe have done 6 resets from scratch on this thing. It also had a weird thing where it kept playing Jaws Movie in the background when I came out of Fandango Movies, no matter what App I picked it was playing. It took me 20 minutes to figure that it was Jaws and where it came from. That was replicated several times, so I had to make sure the movie was stopped and I backed out of the App for it to stop. It seems like the antenna did not lock onto channels and I had the spinning circle for a good amount of time. My older Panasonic Plasma and the 200 dollar TCL both were more reliable and locked onto the signal better. It was very frustrating during the Super Bowl. But Sony was dead last among the 3 TV's. Pretty embarrassing Sony. Remember, the Sony blanked out and the other 2 kept playing. It also popped up weird and unexpected menus on TV channels that were strange and did not make sense. It happened often. Then, normally when a station loses strength, it has a patterned gray and black screen that is supposed to come on that says Lost Signal. We got that proper splash screen maybe 1 time out of 20, it would instead go 100% black screen. Many times we thought the TV shut itself off, and maybe it did a few of them? And a big one here, a sound glitch, there were several occasions where the TV started making loud clicking and almost alien like sounds, loudly, kind of like the acoustic setup but way different. It would make the weirdest clicking and strange sounds going between Apps and when you picked one it changed tone and cadence. One time it just clicks toned out of all speakers and the screen did not come on. There were a few other things that bothered us. A smaller one, but it should work is to set the TV to go to the Google home page every time you shut it off. Guess what, it was returning to the last input and program. Small thing but annoying when it is supposed to work. Off angle was pretty good in HDR, maybe a 6-7, standing and going off to the side looked pretty well and a slight color loss. Very poor off angle in SDR, so maybe a 4 out of 10, you know, color loss, brightness loss just buy going even a foot above the screen or a few feet of the edge of the TV. Reflection handling I would agree with Rtings, maybe a 4-5 out of 10. So I returned it today and am looking at other TV's.
Thanks for the detailed review of the Sony BRAVIA 7 Mini LED TV. Your insights on the picture quality, especially with HDR sources and Dolby Atmos are valuable. It's clear that while the TV excels in certain areas like color pop and brightness, there are significant concerns regarding upscaling, reliability, and user experience with various inputs and apps. It's disappointing to hear about the electronic glitches and performance issues you've encountered, which seem to detract from what could otherwise be a top-tier viewing experience. To make sure your TV runs as smooth as possible, we highly recommend downloading and installing the latest software for the TV. Performing a restart may also help some issues you are experiencing. To do that, simply press the power button on the remote control for about 5-10 secs while the TV is on.

Sony Bravia 7 85' TV review

The TV is great, with one minor exception. Crisp clear colors, vivid and just love it - but it keeps powering-off and restarting. I am currently working wit the Best Buy Geek Squad to resolve. We have completed the following:
1.Power Cycle: Turn off your TV and unplug it from the wall outlet. Wait for about 10-15 minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on again. This can sometimes clear up any glitches.
2. Disable Eco Settings: Some TVs have eco or power-saving settings that can cause the TV to turn off. Go to the settings menu and disable any eco or power-saving modes.
I will be engaging the Squad again as the issue with powering off and restarting on it's own continues.
We're thrilled to hear you love the crisp, clear colors and vivid picture quality. It’s great to know the TV is delivering on that front. However, we’re sorry to hear about the powering-off and restarting issue, and we appreciate you taking the time to share the troubleshooting steps you’ve already tried. If your TV turns on or off at regular intervals, such as 30 minutes to an hour, it's likely caused by power saving functions such as Idle TV Standby, On Timer, and Sleep Timer. If you haven't yet, follow the steps from the link below to make sure that the TV settings that can turn the TV ON or OFF at certain times or regular intervals are disabled.
If the issue persists and you need further assistance, you can email us at [email protected] with the following details: Apologies if you disclosed some of this information in your review and to customer service, we just want to ensure that we have your accurate details at the time of communication.

Got this TV as the display model at a very good discount, this TV does a great job even in a well lit room. This TV has great brightness, picture quality, the only thing I find lacking is processing speed which for the most part is not a big issue

Impressed with Sony Bravia 7

I recently purchased the Sony Bravia 7 and I'm really happy with it so far. The picture quality is fantastic - really clear and sharp with vibrant colors. I was especially impressed with how well it upscales non-4K content. Everything looks crisp and clean, even older shows and movies.
The design is sleek and modern, and it was easy to set up. I like the Google TV interface, which makes it simple to find what I want to watch. The built-in speakers are decent, but I plan on adding a soundbar eventually for a more immersive audio experience.
Overall, I think the Bravia 7 is a great value for the price. It's a solid choice for anyone looking for a 4K TV with a great picture and smart features. Highly recommend!
That's great! We're glad to hear that you like the picture color quality, sharpness, and sound of the TV. We appreciate the recommendation and thank you for choosing Sony!

Beautiful picture and can be seen clearly from any angle. Not really wild about the remote. The buttons are very tiny and there is no lighting on the remote when using in the dark, Otherwise the TV is great.

Mini LED was the perfect option for me. Looks great even in my living room which sometimes is bright. The colors are bright and blacks look good. The remote is fine, but wish it was back lit.
