Sony Bravia 7 (2024)

The Bravia 7 is Sony's 2024 mid-range Mini-LED, sitting between the entry Bravia 3 and the flagship Bravia 9. The HDMI layout follows Sony's house style for the year: HDMI 1 and 2 are HDMI 2.0b at 4K/60 Hz, while HDMI 3 and HDMI 4 are full HDMI 2.1 at 48 Gbps with 4K/120 Hz, VRR and ALLM. eARC lives on HDMI 3, which means a soundbar there leaves only HDMI 4 free for a high-bandwidth console. Two USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, Optical TOSLINK, an RF antenna input and a 3.5mm Center Speaker In jack complete the rear panel.

Sony’s 2024 mid-range 4K Mini-LED with 2× HDMI 2.1 (eARC on HDMI 3), 2× HDMI 2.0b, USB-A, Gigabit Ethernet and Optical out.
