    Sony Bravia will now be controlled by TCL and it’s the end of a historic tech era | Stuff

    Sony has entered a partnership with the Chinese TV maker TCL, effectively handing over control of the Bravia television brand. In a joint announcement on Tuesday, the two tech giants revealed Sony had sold 51% – a majority – of its home entertainment business to TCL. Sony will still hold onto the remaining 49%.

    my personal guess. TCL will price it higher than the current TCL line-up.

    Mas mahal naman talaga ang Sony and as per reports, TCL will be allowed to use Sony's name.

    Dahil mahal ang Sony (na tumagal lang sa amin ng 5 years), ang binili ko ay LG. Napansin ko lang the color is not as sharp, but not bad naman for the 10-15K difference.

    Sony and LG OLED are really good TVs. pero some find it too dark compared to LEDs and QLED.

    Nag Samsung kami, pero 2-3 years lang nasira na pareho.

    Latest we have is a QLED TV from TCL - so far so good, natatagalan lang ako sa startup nya.
    Most probably, yung isang TV namin, TCL din ipapalit ko

    Premium brand kasi ang tingin nila sa kanilang sarili nowadays. Hindi na class-leading pero sobrang mahal padin. Parang xperia smartphones lang nila na napag-iwanan na ng iba. Sayang. Meron pa naman samin Bravia smart tv na 32-inch, very seldomly used pero almost 7 years na siya and up to now maayos pa.

    paanong mabagal? paranmg may delay kapag ginamit mo yung remote control?

    These days, it's not really the brand that matters more but the panel. Choose which type of panel you want / can afford first, and then pick the brand which has the better value for you next.

    For the higher end of the spectrum, OLED will still reign supreme for at least a couple more years. So far, the only brands with OLEDs in the PH are Sony, LG, Samsung, and the almost impossible to find Philips. The Bravia 8's are generally not available everywhere, while the LG G series and the Samsung S95 lines seem to be present only at the more posh parts of town, so you will have to satisfy yourself with the LG C series or the Samsung S90 line. Of those brands, Samsung is at a disadvantage because the local distributor only offers a 1-year warranty. LG and Samsung also have proprietary operating systems which are not generally the best supported by streaming sites or apps like NBA League Pass. Sony, while running Google TV, not only has the best OS among the bunch but also has the best image processing. The problem is that Sony is also more expensive by as much as 25% to 35% more than LG or Samsung.

    The best values are in the middle sector of the market. Mini-LEDs are now within striking distance of an OLED's picture quality but at a lot less in terms of price. In some use cases (e.g. very bright or sun-lit rooms), a mini-LED will actually offer superior color rendition. It also will not suffer image burn-in problems that OLEDs and plasmas have. Truth be told, 95% of people will not be able to tell the difference between an OLED or a mini-LED. You will only notice the difference once you put an OLED and a mini-LED together side by side. I know as I have both.

    Sony is the top shelf brand with its Bravia 9 but these are priced even higher than its OLED model, the Bravia 8. LG's and Samsung's misleadingly named QNED and Neo QLED lines, respectively, are also woefully overpriced and use proprietary OSes (WebOS and Tizen, respectively). This is where the likes of Hisense and TCL shine. The models on offer in the Philippines are more than a match for the above but at a far lower cost. There are also other players like Skyworth, Haier, Sharp, etc, but its Hisense and TCL who are in a better position as these two companies also manufacture mini-LED panels.

    Take the TCL C6K, for instance. The Abenson price is about ₱39k, yet the picture quality and color accuracy is more than a match to that of the Sony Bravia 5 65XR50 (priced at ₱75k and is Sony's entry-level mini-LED model). The Sony will have a better image processor but actually has an older panel, made by, you guessed it... TCL. There are pros and cons for choosing either one, but at the end of the day, the Bravia 5 is nearly double the price, which makes the TCL C6k a much much better value in comparison. The added bonus as well is the built-in audio, the TCL's Onkyo branded speakers sounds a whole lot better than the Sony; you actually hear bass on the C6k.

    Bought a Samsung TV a little over a year ago. LED backlight went bust just after warranty expired. Na-repair naman na (official service center), but bummed that it went kaput so soon coming from a major manufacturer. Meanwhile, my old Panasonic 32in from 2010 is still good.

    May sale with big discount din naman from time to time si Sony, need mo lang i time when.
    I got my current Sony TV 55" from 2022 for 35k.
    Yung 55" at that time from TCL is nasa ganyang price din.
    Not bad considering google TV na rin tong Sony compare sa Samsung and LG na may sariling TVOS.

    You have to book their service via the website. Then they will call you. To be fair the service was fast, even if it was the holidays.

    Tcl has bought a controlling stake of Sony. So what does that mean for the TVs of the Japanese giant? Only winnie da poo knows ...if he's still sitting on the throne by the 2nd half of this year (or for forever). 🤔

    If I remember correctly, Sony doesn't make their own OLED screens, they buy it from Samsung and LG
    TCL is their major supplier for mini-LED and LCD Panels.

    Sony also uses Android TV (same was TCL)

    Part of the deal is that TCL will be allowed to use "Sony Bravia" branding. I'm sure 100% of their panels will now be supplied by TCL (CSOT)

    I read somewhere that Sony will still be in-charge of image processing and audio tech.

    Kawawa naman ang sony. Nabalita lang na nakuha ang kanilang stake, may insert kagad tungkol sa isang political leader kahit wala namang kinalaman yun sa mga tvs in general.
