TV Picture Quality That Honors the Director's Vision

Sony's reputation for image processing isn't just marketing—it's the reason filmmakers trust Sony displays to accurately represent their work. The Bravia 8 II OLED uses quantum dot technology combined with Sony's XR Processor to deliver perfect blacks alongside exceptional brightness. Every scene is analyzed and enhanced in real-time, revealing texture and detail that other displays simply miss.

Available in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes, the Bravia 8 II features XR Triluminos Max for billions of accurate colors. The screen itself produces sound through Acoustic Surface Audio+, creating audio that comes directly from where the action happens on screen.

For larger spaces or those who want true theater scale, the 98-inch Bravia 5 brings Mini-LED technology with hundreds of dimming zones. It's Sony's largest 2025 offering, combining massive size with the processing excellence that makes Sony displays special.

Going Even Bigger with Projection

Want to go beyond 98 inches? The Sony Bravia Projector 7 delivers true cinema scale for media rooms. The Bravia 7 is a 4K SXRD laser projector uses the same XR Processor found in Sony's premium TVs, ensuring that same signature image quality on screens over 100 inches.

The laser light source lasts 20,000 hours—years of viewing without lamp replacements. Flexible lens shift and zoom make installation straightforward, and Sony projectors are also known for ultra-quiet operation that keeps the focus on what's happening on screen. It integrates easily with smart home automation systems like Control4, Crestron, and Savant for a simplified cinematic experience.

Here's where Bethesda Systems' installation expertise makes a real difference: the projector and screen can be completely hidden when not in use. Motorized screens and lifts maintain your room's clean aesthetics until movie time, preserving the carefully curated design of your space.
