Sony Bravia 7 II Hands-On: True RGB Mini LED Delivers Bright, Vibrant Color

What Hi‑Fi.’s hands‑on with the Sony Bravia 7 II highlights a bold RGB Mini LED implementation with a new ‘mirage’ stand that hides cables and a refreshed remote. The 65-inch sample shows bright, punchy pictures with strong color and good wide‑angle performance thanks to X Wide Pro and the RGB Backlight Master Drive Pro, plus Studio Calibrated streaming modes. HDR10+ is not supported, there are four HDMI ports (two full‑bandwidth HDMI 2.1), and the launch price rises across sizes (including 50‑inch and 98‑inch) as Sony competes with LG and others. A full verdict will come after thorough lab testing.

Samsung's 2026 TV lineup centers on RGB Micro LED, with OLED options still in the mix

What Hi-Fi previews Samsung's 2026 TV lineup, which moves Neo QLED to mid-range and pushes RGB Micro LED to the foreground while expanding OLED options. In hands-on time, the RGB Micro LED R95H impressed with strong brightness and contrast on a 65-inch sample; the S90H mid-range model adds Glare Free for daytime viewing across sizes (42–83 inches) with a trade-off in blacks, and the top S99H OLED flagship uses QD-OLED for vivid color and brightness. Samsung remains tight-lipped on exact panel details, and full reviews are forthcoming.

LG’s 2026 OLED lineup adds Samsung-backed Eclipsa Audio alongside Atmos

LG’s 2026 TV lineup (including C6, G6 and W6 OLEDs plus RGB Mini LED models) will support Eclipsa Audio, Samsung and Google’s open-source 3D‑audio format, as an Atmos rival. Playback works through the TV’s built-in speakers or HDMI eARC devices, and the format is currently not supported by streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, or Apple TV+—it's aimed at YouTube content creators. This marks LG embracing a rival’s IAMF standard on its own TVs.

LG C6 OLED: premium tech, muddled lineup

LG’s C6 OLED introduces premium features for its large 77" and 83" sizes with a Primary RGB Tandem OLED panel and the Alpha 11 Gen 3 processor, effectively making these models feel like a “G5+.” Meanwhile, smaller 55" and 65" C6s stick with WOLED, leaving the C-series in a gray area between mid-range and flagship. LG has nudged the C6 toward top-tier tech, but the lineup overlap and mixed signals across generations make it a confusing buy without hands-on testing to separate genuine differences from marketing.

HDR's Next Wave: Dolby Vision 2 and HDR10+ Advanced Set the Stage for 2026 TVs

At CES 2026, Dolby Vision 2 and HDR10+ Advanced demos showcased brighter, more detailed HDR with improved motion handling and creator-driven metadata, as brands like Samsung and Hisense/TCL/Philips prepare to bring the formats to mainstream TVs this year. HDR10+ Advanced will have Amazon Prime Video as an early content partner, while Dolby Vision 2 Max targets higher-end models. While the tech looks promising, real-world testing and content availability remain key questions for 2026.
