Sony and TCL announce joint venture, Bravia TVs part of deal
Seemingly out of nowhere, TCL announced it plans to acquire Sony’s home entertainment branch, including TVs and home audio equipment. The two companies are set to enter a joint venture, with TCL controlling a commanding 51% share.
As per the press release, the TCL-led venture will “leverage Sony's high-quality picture and audio technology, brand value and operational expertise” combined with “TCL's advanced display technology, global scale advantages, industrial footprint, end-to-end cost efficiency”. Furthermore, the products will still carry Sony and Bravia branding.
The new joint venture is set to operate globally, with the binding agreement set to be finalized by the end of March. The new company is officially expected to begin its operation in April 2027. That’s all pending regulatory approval and several other partnership conditions.

My Sony Bravia still working perfectly. KDL-32EX400. In the garage for now, until repurposing it again with a Chromecast plugged in at hdmi and usb ports. Change things up now and again indoors.

the last time i honestly was impressed with a Sony TV was in the days of CRT - after that IMHO there were too many other brands that were better at flat panels than Sony and even Panasonic and i reckon that brands like TCL and Hisense were way ahead of Sony in the current TV market so this news is not surprising in the least
