Sony India has officially launched the BRAVIA 7 II, its first-ever True RGB LED television, marking what could genuinely be the most significant leap in LCD TV technology since quantum dots arrived on the scene. Powered by the proprietary RGB Backlight Master Drive Pro technology, the Sony BRAVIA 7 II True RGB TV India price starts at Rs 2,21,990 for the 55-inch variant, with the 65-inch model priced at Rs 2,74,990. Pre-booking for both sizes begins today, 28th May 2026, across Sony retail stores, the ShopatSC.com portal, and major e-commerce platforms.
So what exactly is all the fuss about with “True RGB”? In simple terms, conventional Mini LED and QLED televisions use white LEDs covered with colour filters to produce their picture. True RGB throws that approach out entirely. Instead, each individual LED in the BRAVIA 7 II’s backlight contains three separate red, green, and blue diodes that are driven independently. The result is colour that is purer at the source, not filtered after the fact, which translates to richer contrast, less blooming around bright objects, and a dramatically wider colour volume than what standard Mini LED displays can achieve.
What Makes True RGB Different From Ordinary Mini LED
The RGB Backlight Master Drive Pro system at the heart of the BRAVIA 7 II controls every LED with high precision. This means brighter highlights, deeper blacks, and far more accurate local dimming compared to conventional white LED backlights. Paired with RGB Triluminos Max with Luminance Booster, Sony claims the television delivers a level of colour richness that sits somewhere between the inky depth of QD-OLED and the raw brightness of standard Mini LED. That is a genuinely difficult technical balancing act, and the early international reviews suggest Sony has pulled it off rather impressively.

Smooth Colour Gradation technology further refines the picture by revealing ultra-fine tonal transitions across both dark and bright scenes, eliminating the banding effect that can plague lesser displays. For buyers of the 65-inch model and above, X-Wide Angle Pro ensures that colour accuracy and contrast hold up even when viewers are seated well off to the side, which is great news for anyone with a wide sofa or an opinionated family.
Cognitive Processor XR Handles the Heavy Lifting
Picture quality in modern televisions is never just about the panel; it is equally about the processing engine behind it. Sony’s Cognitive Processor XR remains the intelligence driving the BRAVIA 7 II, and it processes images in line with how humans naturally perceive depth, contrast, and clarity rather than simply optimising raw pixel data.
XR Contrast Booster 20 intelligently balances the brightest highlights and the darkest shadows simultaneously, while XR Clear Image upscales lower-resolution content to near-4K quality. For sports fans and gamers especially, XR Motion Clarity analyses motion across multiple frames to keep fast-moving scenes smooth, bright, and blur-free even during the most chaotic on-screen action.
Cinematic HDR, Dolby Atmos, and Studio-Calibrated Modes
The BRAVIA 7 II supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, and IMAX Enhanced, covering essentially every major HDR format on the market. Studio Calibrated Modes for Netflix, Prime Video, and Sony Pictures Core automatically adjust the picture to match what the original content creators intended, which is a feature that serious home cinema enthusiasts will appreciate enormously.
Audio has not been neglected either. The Acoustic Multi-Audio system on 65-inch and larger models positions sound to match the on-screen action precisely, while Voice Zoom 3 with AI Sound Separation keeps dialogue crisp and intelligible above background noise. 3D Surround Upscaling transforms standard stereo or surround content into a virtual 5.1.4 channel experience. With Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, the BRAVIA 7 II can genuinely give a standalone soundbar a run for its money in smaller rooms.
Gaming on the BRAVIA 7 II Is a Serious Proposition
Gamers will find plenty to like here. The television supports 4K at 120fps via HDMI 2.1, with Auto Low Latency Mode and Variable Refresh Rate helping to eliminate input lag and screen tearing. Game Menu 2 provides quick access to gaming-specific settings including crosshair overlays, black equalizer, and motion blur reduction.
Dedicated optimisations for PlayStation 5, including Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode, make this one of the more compelling big-screen gaming monitors available in India right now. PS Remote Play support adds further convenience for PlayStation households. Worth noting: the BRAVIA 7 II retains two HDMI 2.1 ports and two HDMI 2.0 ports rather than four HDMI 2.1 ports, which some multi-console gaming households may find limiting.

Google TV With Gemini, Apple AirPlay 2, and Smart Home Integration
The smart platform side of things is comprehensively handled by Google TV, offering access to over 400,000 movies and TV episodes alongside a vast library of apps and games. Built-in Google Assistant and Hands-Free Voice Search allow users to control the television and manage compatible smart home devices without reaching for the remote.
Gemini for Google TV will arrive via an over-the-air update, enabling more natural AI-powered conversations and smarter personalised content recommendations. Apple AirPlay 2, Apple HomeKit, Google Cast, and Alexa compatibility round out the smart home connectivity options, making the BRAVIA 7 II a genuinely flexible hub for connected living.
Sony Pictures Core and the Pure Stream Advantage
Buyers of the BRAVIA 7 II also get access to Sony Pictures Core, a curated streaming service featuring blockbuster films including IMAX Enhanced titles. The Pure Stream technology allows streaming at up to 80 Mbps, delivering picture quality that Sony claims is comparable to 4K UHD Blu-ray. Every new BRAVIA 7 II buyer receives 10 complimentary movie credits with access to a premium selection of Sony Pictures titles for 24 months, which is a genuinely useful perk.
Design, Durability, and Accessibility
The BRAVIA 7 II is built around Sony’s Harmonic Presence design concept, featuring the Immersive Frame aesthetic and the Mirage Stand for models from 55 to 85 inches. The television is also built tough, with X-Protection PRO offering resistance against lightning, power surges, dust, and humidity.
Sony has also included the Inclusive Affordable Remote, developed in collaboration with people with disabilities, featuring tactile differentiation and optimised button spacing for ease of use. The Eco Dashboard 2 lets users monitor energy consumption and access power-saving recommendations.
Size and Price Breakdown
The BRAVIA 7 II is available in five screen sizes. The 55-inch (140 cm) model carries a best buy price of Rs 2,21,990, while the 65-inch (165 cm) model is priced at Rs 2,74,990. Both are available for pre-booking today. The 75-inch (190 cm), 85-inch (215 cm), and 98-inch (248 cm) variants are coming soon, with the 98-inch model expected in July 2026.
Final Thoughts
True RGB technology is not just a flashy marketing term. Every major international review of the BRAVIA 7 II has pointed to a genuine, visible improvement in colour quality and viewing angle performance over conventional Mini LED displays. At Rs 2,21,990, the 55-inch model is unquestionably premium, but for buyers who want the absolute cutting edge of LCD television technology without stepping up to an OLED, the Sony BRAVIA 7 II makes a compelling and well-timed case for itself.
