This 65-Inch Sony Bravia 7 QLED TV Is $800 Off During Amazon’s Big Spring Sale
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is back for a second year and runs through March 31st. It’s not quite Prime Day madness, but there are still plenty of worthy tech deals worth checking out. You also don’t need a Prime membership to shop, although Prime members do get access to several better prices . If you’re interested, you can always sign up for a free 30-day trial and cancel later. Either way, this week is the time to pull the trigger on those big purchases you’ve been eyeing. Like, say, a giant new TV.
Right now, the Sony Bravia 7 QLED 65-inch TV is on sale for $1,198, down from the regular $1,999.99. According to the price tags, that’s not just a massive $800 discount—it’s the lowest price it’s ever achieved. Sony’s new QLED series—essentially the brand’s answer to Samsung’s dominance in the space—includes mini-LED backlighting for better contrast, and the Bravia 7 delivers deep blacks without blowing out highlights. It’s powered by a Sony XR processor, supports Dolby Vision and Atmos, and has a built-in 120Hz panel for smoother gaming and sports viewing. Google TV is built-in, and for gamers there’s support for HDMI 2.1, VRR and ALLM, making it an ideal option for a PS5 or Xbox Series X setup. It checks a lot of boxes. But it’s not OLED , and you may notice a difference if you’re picky about contrast in dark rooms.
From a practical standpoint, this looks like a good buy if you want something premium but don’t want to pay OLED prices. Local dimming is decent, although not as perfect or accurate as Sony’s more expensive models, meaning you may notice some blooming around bright objects against dark backgrounds. And while it’s bright enough for most rooms, it’s not the brightest in its class—the Samsung QN90C is reportedly ahead of it. Also, if you plan to install it in a bright living room for group viewing, this may not be the best option. The screen’s anti-glare protection isn’t strong enough to combat glare in well-lit areas, and picture quality suffers unless you’re sitting directly in front of the TV. However, if you’re upgrading from an older LED TV or a mid-range TV, you’ll notice a significant jump in picture quality and color accuracy.
