Sony's new 2025 TVs have been announced, and the big news is that there's no new flagship. Instead, Sony is sticking with the Bravia 9 Mini LED TV as its range-topper, and is introducing the Bravia 8 II QD-OLED TV to sit below it.

While undoubtedly stylish, the kind of ridiculous, loft-style apartments often used to promote hi-fi products bear no relation to how most people live. Refreshingly, this speaker is designed for small rooms and awkward spaces – actual life, in other words, rather than the aspirational version we're constantly being flogged. The ATC SCM20ASL is based on the special edition variant which launched almost exactly a year ago as part of British brand ATC's 50th anniversary.

Smart TVs have been the norm for over ten years now, which has given rise to various operating systems being favoured by different manufacturers. Samsung has Tizen, LG developed webOS, Hisense TVs use Vidaa, and Google TV (as well as Android TV) can be found on sets from Sony, Philips, and TCL.

Sony has announced its 2025 TV range. And like all good Hollywood blockbusters, there's a surprising twist…Sony is keeping its existing 2024 range on sale. That's right, instead of wiping the slate clean and replacing each model, Sony is using its 2025 offerings to fill in the gaps in its existing range. Its three new TVs – the Bravia 3, Bravia 5 and Bravia 8 II – will complement its existing TVs (which we have included below). So if you want a new Sony TV, what are your options?
