“the best current TV OS available.”
Sony 75 Inch TVs
Sony introduces Full BRAVIA Array LED with its line of 75 inch TVs priced between $1,300 and $7,000. The feature not only produces high-contrast blacks, but its advanced local dimming from LED lights behind the entire screen makes colors pop better to pick up on visual nuances better than ever.
The brand also introduces select 8K TVs as part of the lineup — but keep in mind entertainment for 8K resolution is still a limited resource on the market. Otherwise, you can find 75 inch 4K TVs from Sony starting at $1,300, while Sony 75 inch OLED TVs begin at $3,500.
