Sony's BRAVIA 7 II TVs are now official in the Philippines, bringing the company's new True RGB LED backlight to three screen sizes: ₱139,999 for the 65-inch, ₱169,999 for the 75-inch, and ₱249,999 for the 85-inch. The BRAVIA Theatre Trio, a three-speaker soundbar system announced alongside the TVs, is also arriving, though Sony has not yet announced its Philippine price.

What True RGB actually does
Most LED TVs make white light and filter it into colors. The BRAVIA 7 II is Sony's first TV line here to use independently controlled red, green, and blue LEDs in the backlight itself — what Sony calls RGB Backlight Master Drive Pro — driving each LED with precision to raise brightness and color accuracy while reducing blooming, the halo effect around bright objects on dark backgrounds. Sony Philippines' product page pairs this with X-Wide Angle Pro, which keeps colors consistent when viewed from the side — relevant in living rooms where not everyone sits front and center.
ManilaShaker's pricing report details the rest of the panel: a 4K 120Hz screen with the XR Processor, support for HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision, plus HDMI 2.1 gaming features — 4K at 120Hz, variable refresh rate (VRR), and auto low latency mode (ALLM) — with PlayStation 5 optimization. The set runs Google TV with Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, four HDMI ports, and a 40W Acoustic Multi-Audio+ speaker system with Dolby Atmos and DTS support. Studio Calibrated modes tune the picture for Netflix, Prime Video, and Sony Pictures Core, and an AI-powered Voice Zoom 3 feature lifts dialogue above background noise.
Theatre Trio: three speakers, no subwoofer box
The BRAVIA Theatre Trio takes a different shape from the usual bar-plus-subwoofer combo: a center speaker with five drivers including a woofer, and two satellite speakers with three drivers each plus a top-firing driver. Sony's 360 Spatial Sound Mapping creates phantom speakers between the physical ones, and the system supports Dolby Vision passthrough, 8K HDR, 4K 120, and Hi-Res Audio, configured through a dedicated app. It connects over HDMI eARC and can be extended with additional Sony wireless speakers.
Picture and sound features beyond the panel
The software side carries several Sony-specific extras. My Cinema optimizes picture and sound per film, while Ambient Optimization automatically adjusts both to the lighting and acoustics of your room. XR Clear Image handles AI upscaling of lower-resolution content — relevant for local cable and older streaming libraries — and the set supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced content alongside the HDR formats. Acoustic Multi-Audio+ aligns sound with the on-screen position of whoever is speaking, and the factory-calibrated panel ships with 32GB of onboard storage for apps on Google TV.
How it stacks up in the local TV market
Sony is asking a clear premium here. The 65-inch BRAVIA 7 II's ₱139,999 price is more than double what aggressive Chinese brands charge for large mini-LED sets locally — TCL's C7L series starts at ₱61,995 — and Sony's pitch is picture processing and the new RGB backlight rather than spec-sheet numbers. Buyers weighing the two should also factor in the soundbar: the BRAVIA 7 II's Acoustic Center Sync works specifically with Sony soundbars like the Theatre Trio, which has no announced local price yet.
