The Bravia 7 will be best for the value for most. It has about 97 to 100% of the performance of the Bravia 9. It only loses in reflections and off angle. The off angle is only a few clicks better than the B7. The reflections are better on the B9, but it can rainbow smear badly. So?? As for money, the B7 at 75 inches was les than half the cost of the B9 as they have not BF discounted the B9 at all, it is still 3499. The 75 B7 at Costco, Cyber Monday 200 off, was only 1599. I get delivery Dec 10th and hopefully all is good, or I will be comparing and shopping all over again.

I’m curious as to why the qn90d gets a much higher score for tv watching when the bravia 7 is so much better at upscaling.
You have to understand that Rtings puts way too much weight on viewing angle and reflections, 40%, Again, 40% !!!!! All designed to give Oleds, mainly LG and Samsung, the highest scores. Most Bravia 7 video reviews show the B7 off angle to be very good. Especially in HDR. Of course they were tested to around 70 degrees. The QN90D washed out the same exact way at 70-80, exactly the same. And the same as most other LEDs in BB. I went with a group of 5 to BB, we looked over both TV’s and off angle was good on both, definitely not worthy of the 5 and 6 scores give by Rtings. And yes, on most forums, they call Rtings out for this frequently and tell all to not take any overall score seriously, and to let your eyes make the decision, not their numbers. I do like the ratings, and individual scores mostly, all except viewing angle and reflections. For example, Rtings give the B9 a decent viewing angle score, but many returned it due to the rainbow smear across the entire screen. The B7 wins all day long against the QN90D. Disregard the TV Show and Sports overall numbers as they are simply dropped by Rtings putting 40% weight on the 2 items. They know this will knock Sony and LED’s down. They should put much more weight on upscaling a smoothing, where all would drop and Sony would rise. But Rtings does not wan this to happen, so they do not. So, I like Rtings, just not their weighting and overall scores for some TV’s, almost always, Sony.
