Sony has spent the last few years turning BRAVIA from a TV badge into a full living-room language, with screens and speakers meant to stack into something more cohesive than a collection of haphazardly acquired components. This 2026 refresh keeps that 2024 “Cinema is coming home” thesis intact, but gives it more supporting evidence: the BRAVIA Theater Bar 5 and Bar 7 as the starting points, new Sub 7, Sub 8, Sub 9, and Rear 9 add-ons for exposition, and the BRAVIA 3 II as a mid-tier statement to build around. Slogan, meet system. See It The tiering is the point, but Sony has also made the tiers feel distinct. The BRAVIA Theater Bar 5 is the easier on-ramp: a 3.1-channel bar bundled with a wireless subwoofer, so even a simple setup lands with some chest-level thump and clearer center focus.

Sony Bravia 5 Review: An Excellent Mid-Tier TV for Cinephiles

Sony Bravia 5 Review: An Excellent Mid-Tier TV for Cinephiles

Speaking of 4K Blu-rays, this TV really showed off its excellent processing when in Movie mode and watching a recently acquired copy of Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo. The gorgeous use of light and shadow was presented without aggressive blooming, and the colors looked deep and well-saturated. A scene where the two leads face the Golden Gate Bridge looks particularly like a painting on this screen, praise that belongs to the XR chip and Sony’s excellent use of multi-zone, mini-LED backlighting.

This screen is available in a wide variety of sizes, from 55 inches …
