Sony’s 2022 QD-OLED And Mini LED Pricing Revealed

Sony’s projected high-end contender in its 2022 TV lineup is the aforementioned Bravia XR Master Series Z9K 8K Mini LED, which promises to upscale “any content” to 8K resolution. It is the most expensive of the bunch, ranging from $6,999.99 MSRP for its 75″ model to $9,999.99 for its 85″ model in the U.S. There is no de facto release date for the Z9K, but shoppers can expect to see pre-orders begin this summer. Sony is also bringing Mini LED to 4K, and its 4K Mini LED display is widely available to purchase right now; the Bravia XR X95K 4K Mini LED may be reasonable for many TV shoppers who want a high contrast image but aren’t willing to shell out for a QD-OLED screen. The X95K begins at $2,799.99 (65″) and scales up to $5,499.99 (85″) in the U.S.

Among those who tested it at CES 2022, the Bravia XR Master Series A95K generated some buzz for producing deep blacks and improved brightness over its OLED forebears, which means it’s most likely the best of the bunch for anyone shopping for a 4K screen, not an 8K screen. If you’re shopping for a home theatre display, this (and other QD-OLED displays) may offer the best price-to-performance ratio in comparison to leading OLED models. Pre-orders for the A95K begin in May (Canada) and June (U.S.) for both the 55″ and 65″ models. They will go for $2,999.99 and $3,999.99 in the U.S., respectively.
