Re: Anyone ever checked out or experied a Vu LED?? Is it a brand that can be trusted?
So let me get as objective as I can on VU. I bought one of the first few models of VU LED flat panel of an odd size 47". It was excellent. Subsequently, after about 3 years it started to fade and developed many issues. I had no reason to go anywhere else so I bought a VU 65" XT780, to replace the older one. A little over a year with remaining 2 years of warranty I still have that in one of the rooms. It upsets me so much, that I think it unethical to even sell it to anyone else. Bad is an understatement. That said, a TV is good or bad depending on your expectation from it. In 2007, when I bought the first VU, I wasn't affected so much by colours as by the SD reproduction. Once I started making films myself, colours became a huge part of my conscience. And VU has terrible colours. Its blacks are charcoal, reds bleed, I mean I can go on. It has screwed up viewing angles. Since my expectation from a TV had substantially increased, VU had to be deposited out. Some may not be too fussy hence it still might be a good choice. Though the money OP has, he can go for TVs with better reproduction. Like I told Ms. Saraf on twitter, VU has stopped making televisions, its just a slate with a muffle of colours.
