The best Sony TVs in 2023
Why you can trust Livingetc Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.
1. Sony A80J 4K OLED TV
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Our top choice for the best Sony TV overall is the excellent Sony A80J 4K OLED TV, which despite being an older model from 2021, still matches up to many of the brand's OLED screens at a more reasonable price. Its age also means it's likely to be on sale, and you'll be getting a great looking and sounding set.
The OLED panel is ultra-slim due to its lack of a backlight, meaning it can sit flush with the wall if you're not using one of the stand's three modes. Slide the two feet to the end of the screen or further in, or use them to raise the TV high enough to fit a soundbar underneath.
2. Sony X75K 4K LED TV
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
A 2022 model for a great price, the Sony X75K 4K LED TV - available in mid-range sizes 55" and 65" - is a steal at less than $700. You'll be making a few compromises for that price tag, but overall this is a perfectly capable 4K TV with dual smart assistants built-in, Apple AirPlay screen mirroring, and upscaling technology for older HD and Full HD content.
Sadly the X75K doesn't come with Dolby Vision or Atmos, so we would recommend investing in one of the best soundbars if audio quality is essential to you, and it's relatively bulky at approximately 3.5in deep.
3. Sony X95K 4K Mini LED TV
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Mini LED technology is very buzz-worthy at the moment, and the Sony X95K 4K Mini LED TV is the brand's single offering outside of the ultra-expensive Z9K 8K set. It's hard to find fault with the X95K, which is half the price and features Dolby Vision, IMAX mode, and an anti-reflection screen that makes for better viewing in bright rooms or if you have people watching from different points in the room.
It also features the same adjustable feet as the A80J, meaning you can position your TV up high to make room for a soundbar or simply mount the thin panel to the wall. The set has built-in Alexa and Google Assistant, as well as support for Apple AirPlay for screen mirroring, and Google TV makes it possible to use Chromecast.
4. Sony Z9J 8K LED TV
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
8K still has its detractors, but Sony has placed it firmly at the premium end of the market with two models - the aforementioned $10,000 Z9K and the more affordable Sony Z9J 8K LED TV. The latter is our choice for the best 8K TV from Sony, with the big difference being the standard LED panel in place of the Z9K's Mini LED one. For more clarification, head to our Mini LED vs. OLED guide.
The Z9J is packed full of Sony's best features, including IMAX mode and Dolby Vision, as well as built-in smarts and multiple screen mirroring options. The 8K resolution is useful even without a deluge of compatible content, too, as upscaling technology will enhance older and 4K content to look better than ever.
5. Sony X90K 4K LED TV
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
If you're looking for a great-sounding TV, you will want to look for one with Dolby Atmos support. This means you can get the effect of spatial audio without actually needing the best surround sound system. The Sony X90K 4K LED TV is our pick for the best-sounding Sony TV because of its Atmos capabilities, which add to the brand's own Acoustic Multi-Audio technology.
Both promise more immersive viewing, and you can also get the position of your screen just how you want it with a multi-position stand (which can be raised to accommodate a soundbar). Dolby Vision, Netflix Adaptive Calibrated Mode, and IMAX are all here, though note that the X90K is the sole example on this list without Alexa built-in.
6. Sony 100" X92 4K LED TV
Specifications
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Sometimes bigger is indeed better, and the Sony 100" X92 4K LED TV goes bigger than pretty much any other TV widely available right now. Forget the best 85 inch TVs - the X92 gives you an at-home experience matched only by a projector screen. Outside of the size, the TV comes with many of Sony's best features, including 4K upscaling, Full Array LED technology, and Google TV for streaming.
Of course, the big drawback here is the price, and you might not be able to find the X92 online. Still, for big-screen thrills right in your living room, it may just be worth the investment.
