Sony’s 65-inch OLED TV, the BRAVIA 6, has been heavily discounted on Amazon’s retail site. Priced at a list price of $2,000, it is now selling for $1,198, a difference of $802 — a discount of fully 40%. The price appears to be a record low, an unusual level for a model equipped with a large OLED panel.
The model being discounted is a smart TV that combines a 65-inch 4K OLED panel with the Google TV platform. Thanks to the characteristics of OLED, in which more than 8 million self-emissive pixels switch on and off individually, the set delivers deep blacks and rich contrast. Because no backlight is required, black pixels consume no power, and color shifts at wide viewing angles are suppressed.
On the picture-quality front, the TV carries Sony’s proprietary image-processing technology and color-reproduction engine, Triluminos Pro, and supports more than a billion colors. It supports the Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG HDR formats, rendering fine detail in video content. For audio, it supports the Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround formats and can transmit audio signals to compatible soundbars.
The set is also designed with gaming in mind, equipped with four HDMI 2.1 input ports. It supports 4K/120Hz video input and features variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low-latency mode (ALLM), reducing screen flicker and input lag in first-person shooter and racing games. All four ports are full-bandwidth, allowing a game console, streaming device and soundbar to be connected at the same time.
The interface uses Google TV, providing direct access to major streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+ and YouTube. It also supports Gemini search and voice control, and through far-field microphones can suggest programs based on viewing history. It also supports Google Cast for mirroring smartphone and tablet screens to the TV.

The decline in prices for large OLED TVs has become pronounced in recent years. With OLED panel production capacity expanding and manufacturing costs falling, manufacturers have intensified price competition in the 55-inch to 65-inch class. Sony has maintained a high-value-added strategy while rolling out aggressive pricing on models with strong brand appeal, and the latest cut is an extension of that trend.
Some market participants see the move as part of inventory adjustment ahead of the year-end shopping season. In North America, TV demand concentrates from Thanksgiving through the end of the year, and manufacturers tend to step up promotions around this period. With replacement demand for large screens holding firm amid the spread of streaming services, the fact that the street price of an OLED model has fallen below ¥200,000 (approximately $1,300) may give consumers who have been considering a purchase a reason to act.
At the same time, prices could fluctuate further depending on the supply cushion for OLED panels and currency moves. Sony sells both higher-end and mass-market models in the BRAVIA lineup, and the impact of the latest discount on the brand’s overall pricing structure will also bear watching.
