Sony just changed how TVs work

Sony didn’t launch a new TV.
They changed the backlight.

Instead of one light + filters,
they use RGB LEDs at the source.

Result?
High brightness + accurate color.

This could end the tradeoff
the TV industry has had for years.

Sony has announced a new TV featuring a True RGB backlight system that replaces the traditional single blue LED backlight with three separate red, green, and blue LEDs per zone. This eliminates the color accuracy loss caused by color filters, achieving 4,000 nits of brightness — matching professional film reference monitors — while also delivering the contrast quality typically associated with OLED displays. The technology represents a potential shift in display architecture, combining the brightness advantage of mini-LED with the color accuracy of OLED in a single product shipping this year.
