Product lines

How the 13 Sony families here actually differ

These are not marketing tiers. Each group below behaves differently under diagnosis, which is why a procedure written for one does not transfer to another, and it is the first thing to settle before following any fix.

Sony BRAVIA TV; Google TV/Android TV version, XR processor, panel and HDMI 2.1 ports vary.

2025 Sony BRAVIA; Google TV release, panel, processor and HDMI 2.1 port allocation vary by size/model.
