7You reviews Sony Bravia 7 II TV: Crystal clear colour with a close-to-life finish

Every manufacturer is taking their own approach to the tech, and it’s interesting to see how they each approach it.

Long story short, RGB tech has the colours being created at the LED level,meaning the brightness, clarity and accuracy of the colours are all incredible.

For Sony, their version of this tech is called “True RGB” and the result is an industry-leading recreation of colours.

The picture isn’t just vibrant — it’s closer to real life than ever before.

I’ve been living with the 65-inch BRAVIA 7 II for a little while now, and here are my thoughts on what it’s like in a family home.

There are three things I think that are contributing to what I think I love about the picture on this tv — sharpness, brightness and colour accuracy.

By having the individual pixels all lit independently, there is significantly less haloing with an RGB TV over a traditional OLED or LCD.

What this means in practice is when you have a very bright subject on a dark background, the separation between them is better than anything else.

Another upside of Sony’s True RGB is brightness. The BRAVIA 7 II can get seriously bright . Like really bright.

If anything I found at times this TV to be too bright. It is one of those things that I’d rather have too much than not enough but it is definitely worth tweaking the settings in your own home to get the balance just right.

The main drawcard for RGB tech over other TV types is the colour accuracy.

Having the colour created by the individual LEDs gives Sony a level of control that just isn’t possible with other technologies.

Skin tones and shadow detail are the standout for me, some of the more bright colourful images can at times feel a little over-saturated so having different picture modes is a handy little hack.

There has been a lot of noise around the picture quality of the BRAVIA 7 II and for good reason. But the real curve ball for me was just how good it sounds!
