Looking to buy a TV, need advice & suggestions...

[Deleted member 95447]

So i've finally managed to convince my parents to upgrade their 12 yo onida tv which brings me to the forum since i don't have an iota of knowledge regarding tvs.
My parents mostly watch cable tv and since i'm here, i occasionally watch Netflix and YouTube. The budget is 50k.

What i'm looking for:
> 43-55" 4k tv (Android tv preferred)
> good display and audio quality (duh)
> Reputable brand with good longevity

The suggestions i've gotten so far are:

> Oneplus U1 55"

> VU premium 55" - http://dl.flipkart.com/dl/vu-premiu...4?pid=TVSFPENZUMTBQAHG&cmpid=product.share.pp

> VU Pixelight 55" (Out of Stock atm) - http://dl.flipkart.com/dl/vu-pixeli...b?pid=TVSEWPZFFQNDAZCG&cmpid=product.share.pp

> TCL c715 50" - https://www.reliancedigital.in/tcl-111-4-cm-50-inch-ultra-hd-4k-smart-qled-tv-50c715/p/491893430

> Samsung TUE60A 55" - https://www.samsung.com/in/support/model/UA55TUE60AKXXL/

>Samsung TUE60F 55" - https://www.samsung.com/in/tvs/uhd-tv-tue60f/UA55TUE60FKXXL/

> Sony Bravia KDL-43W6603 43" - https://www.amazon.in/dp/B086CGNG4T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XwQbFb14YGSC1

Please feel free to add your suggestions as well and do share your experience and reviews.

For 50k I think oneplus u1 or the tcl c715 is a good choice. However I would recommend seeing them for yourself before deciding.

Hi Nagarjun,thanks for replying. Unfortunately for me, the closest reliance digital store is located at ~50kms from where i live. I'm relying heavily on online reviews and visiting the store amid a pandemic is my last resort.

Also is tcl a reliable brand? I've read on this forum that tcl is notorious for breaking tvs through its sw updates.

 

[Nagarjun]

From what everyone is saying seems like tcl isn't really consistent with the quality of their updated even though their panels are good. If you don't want to worry about reliability I would recommend the Samsung TUE 55 inch. Its got really good reviews online.

Thank you for the recommendation. How does it fare against sony's w800g series?

 

[Nagarjun]

Sony w800g is a full hd model. If you are willing to spend so much get a 4k panel. The Samsung would be better in this case.

Is it worth waiting for the realme qled tv?

Not really sure when it will come out. And cannot really tell until the specs come out. Tcl also doesn't provide a huge difference with their new qled models. So nothing can be said until it's launched.

Have a look at this article, this will give you some idea if not complete. Also, make sure that you got a Service Centre of the brand in your city before making a purchase.

Can't really tell buddy. Not able to find specs for it. Even the website doesn't say anything about brightness or contrast ratio. Usually that isn't a good sign.

If you are not in a hurry, festival season is only a couple of months away.
Pricing will surely drop by then

LG/Samsung mid-range models are worth considering.

Cheers,
