Discover Sony TrueRGB

A new era of cinematic picture quality from Sony.

Picture quality shapes every moment you spend in front of a screen. In premium home installations, the display is the centerpiece - and for the first time, a home TV delivers the color science of a professional Hollywood monitoring suite. Sony's TrueRGB technology, featured in the Bravia 9 II and Bravia 7 II, uses independently driven red, green, and blue LED backlights to produce colors that are purer, more accurate, and more vivid than anything conventional LED or Mini-LED technology can achieve.

Sony invited Wipliance to be some of the first to experience TrueRGB in two real-world environments: a 115" Bravia 9 II in a dark, light-controlled studio setting, and a 65" Bravia 9 II in a bright living room with windows- the two most common viewing conditions our clients actually live with. The results speak for themselves.

The TrueRGB Difference

The Sony BRAVIA 9 II is Sony’s most advanced expression of TrueRGB technology for the home — delivering brighter highlights, richer color, deeper contrast, and a more cinematic image than conventional LED displays.

Native RGB Light Production
TrueRGB generates pure red, green, and blue light directly at the source for more accurate, lifelike color.

Reduced Blooming
Sony’s RGB Backlight Master Drive Pro precisely controls light output to dramatically reduce halo effects around bright objects on dark backgrounds.

Exceptional Color Volume
Unlike traditional displays, TrueRGB maintains vibrant color and detail even at extreme brightness levels.

Immersive Black Levels
Advanced anti-reflection technology helps preserve deep blacks and contrast in both dark theaters and bright living spaces.

Hollywood-Inspired Color Science
Built on Sony professional monitor technology used in film production, now optimized for premium home entertainment.

Perfect for All Light Conditions

  • For most households, the television lives in a room with windows, overhead lighting, and changing ambient conditions. This is where TrueRGB separates itself from OLED:

    • Superior Brightness for Ambient Light: TrueRGB-equipped Bravia TVs achieve significantly higher peak brightness than OLED, making the picture vivid and watchable even in sun-drenched rooms.
    • Color Accuracy at High Nits: OLED panels can wash out color at high brightness. TrueRGB maintains full color volume whether the screen is at 100 nits or over 1,000 nits.
    • Wide Viewing Angles: Sony's RGB Backlight Master Drive Pro is engineered for wide viewing angles, so color accuracy and contrast hold up for everyone in the room, not just the person sitting directly in front.
    • No Burn-In Risk: Unlike OLED, TrueRGB Mini-LED panels carry no risk of permanent image retention. Ideal for households where the TV displays static content like news tickers or sports scores.
    • Scales to 115": The Bravia 9 II is available in sizes up to 115"; a scale OLED simply cannot match today. For large living rooms and great rooms, TrueRGB is a perfect solution.

Watch the Full Interview: Lee Travis × Kathleen Thomas, Sony

In this exclusive interview, Wipliance's Lee Travis sits down with Kathleen Thomas from Sony's product team to explore the science behind TrueRGB - covering RGB vs. blue-white backlights, blooming, color volume, and how TrueRGB compares to OLED flagships in everyday use.

Why TrueRGB?

Experience Color the Way It Was Created

For decades, home TVs have used a shortcut: blue LEDs coated in yellow phosphor to produce white light, which is then filtered into individual colors through the LCD layer. The result is an approximation, a translation of color rather than the real thing.

TrueRGB eliminates the shortcut. With independently controlled red, green, and blue LEDs, every color is generated at the source, matching how content is created in professional color-grading suites and on cinema-grade monitors. This means the color you see at home is the color the director, colorist, and cinematographer intended.

Beyond color purity, TrueRGB offers practical advantages: greater resistance to blooming, wider color gamut at high brightness levels, and the ability to scale to screen sizes like the 115" Bravia 9 II that push beyond what any current OLED panel can offer.

From the
Sony Team:

“TrueRGB brings professional picture quality - the same color science we use in our professional monitors-  into the home for the first time. The independently driven RGB backlights don’t just improve color; they change the fundamental relationship between a TV and the content it displays.”

"It's not just about the TV- it's about the entire experience. (Wipliance) is also able to bring together the audio, shades and lighting- and being able to control all of it, because the last thing you want to do is fumble with a bunch of remotes."
