I Tested Sony BRAVIA 9 II: OLED vs LCD Suddenly Gets Complicated

For years, OLED has generally been regarded as the gold standard for premium TV picture quality, especially in dark-room HDR viewing. But after spending time with Sony's new BRAVIA 9 Mark II True RGB LED TV in Tokyo, comparing it directly against both the previous BRAVIA 9 Mini LED TV and Sony's professional BVM-HX3110 mastering monitor, I came away with a few surprises. In this video, I analyse dark-scene performance, HDR brightness, colour volume, gradation handling and overall fidelity to creative intent, including side-by-side comparisons using challenging scenes from House of the Dragon, Mulholland Drive, The Green Knight and Pan. I also explain how Sony's new RGB backlight technology works, why the company redesigned its video processing pipeline, and why the BRAVIA 9 Mark II often comes significantly closer to Sony's HX3110 reference monitor than I expected from an LCD-based display. The "Includes Paid Promotion" message in this video refers to the sponsorship by British AV retailer Richer Sounds.
