There is some psychology to it and i just have a theory. Lets take an example - LG has only gone with ips panels and so their "nano" technology did not gain traction as much as Samsung's QLED chest thumping. Secondly, Panasonic which had VA panels sold at entry level in their Sanyo lineup suddenly went for IPS and they are like gone in thin air all of a sudden. Sony mixes ips and VA panels in their inventory but in order to get both VA plus dolby vision, ond has to buy their 9000 series (90j/k etc...). They have VA at 7000 series but no Dolby Vision.
Samsung too are slipping in ADS panels among their flagship FALD Quantum dot bright TVs that sell on par with OLED TVs minus Dolby vision as cost savings manoeuvre.
All these hint that VA with dolby vision, QLED and full array costs much to manufacture and only a niche segment would know its true worth. Blind purchasers of TVs bearing only cost in mind, many consumers dont bother in India. The tax on big screens import and distribution logistics further add to their problems. Our Netas and Babus are not going to cut the OEMs a slack and so they compromise on product quality. Thats my guess.
