Lack of upscaling is the only thing which sets me back from getting this TV. My assumption was that most 4k TV will have upscaling, so didn't bother to get a AVR with upscaling features

Yeah, lets hope it is possible with a firmware update although it doesn't affect me because i sit 10 feet away for any type of SD content.Lack of upscaling is the only thing which sets me back from getting this TV.

Mi LED Smart TV 4 price has been hiked to Rs.44,999
Xiaomi claims the price hike is an effort to ramp up supply of the smartphone in the face of recent changes in PCBA import taxes and the depreciation of the rupee since the beginning of the year. The new prices will be effective on all channels the smartphone is available on, including Mi.com, Mi Home stores, Flipkart, and offline retailers. Alongside, the 55-inch Mi TV 4 has also received a price hike for the same reasons, effective from the same date.
Jain provided further insight as to the reasons for the price hike, saying, "In order to ramp up supply for the Redmi Note 5 Pro, we are importing a significant amount of PCBAs as our local PCBA production would only ramp up to 100 percent by CY Q3 2018. With the recent changes in tax structure on PCBA imports and the depreciation of the rupee (by around 5 percent since the beginning of the year), this has resulted in a significant increase in costs for us."

Saw the TV - Mi TV 4 in person at a Mi Home yesterday. Found the viewing angles to be really poor in comparison to even Koryo TVs displayed at eZone. Not sure if it was because of the lighting condition at the Mi Home.
While looking from absolute front the PQ for 4K demo videos was good but again the sound quality was poor.
Heard a guy complaining at Mi Home about issues with his Mi TV 4A and lack of support in resolving the issue. The staff at Mi Home was trying to explain to him helplessly that they do not offer support services at Mi Home.
Personal impression a TV is not a oversized smartphone, it primarily serves the purpose of delivering picture and sound. Mi TV, from the demo failed to score for me at those fronts.
Even for the Smart TV aspect, the TV doesn't support viewing content from Amazon Prime video/Netflix(no app! Will ignore the aspect of sideloading as that's a user's own effort and not really being offered by default by the Mi ecosystem) and even streaming of 4k content from pre-installed Youtube app.
Now with increased price and perceived challenges in after sales support, think will wait and watch what Mi and other players are going to throw at us in coming months.
Any one saw a good detailed review of iFFalcon launched by TCL recently?

Now either they iron out all the irks through updates first or it's about to doom.
A 4K TV with NO 4k UI, NO 4K streaming apps,even the youtube is not 4K, seriously?
It's slim,it's coin thin, at the cost of backlighting? not so HDR friendly thin.
Experience flagship ummm with shitty sound? no additional soundbar to provide? let alone full system ahem.
So what am I paying for : A very well built - handle with care kinda fragile - too thin,making hard to access ports after wall mount, a 4K not so 4K, not so great sounding tv with patchwall (which simply pulls info from an app,internet is must) and an appstore which is android but no playstore,a TV so powerful that can't play asphalt #Critic'sPitch

I in the same 4 times failed boat. Have given up all hopes. Planning to get VU 55 incher.
Do share ur views on TCL.
iGyaan has come with an unboxing. It is an Edge-lit panel, supports HDR10 and seemingly has more RAM and native Android 7.0. But the unboxing fails to indicate if Amazon Prime can be installed and if Netflix and Youtube supports playing 4k videos out of the box.
Also it seems the TV may be available without flash sales and a pre-order seemingly is going on.
Link to the video:
The reason why i couldn't put my bet on other relatively small companies is that their commitment for older products. The warranty is for a year. So what are you supposed to do after that? Throw away the set?
The software needs to be updated constantly or at least should be worked upon. That's where big players score up. They unify the architecture of all their TVs under a single umbrella and work upon it. So that if a critical fix is done they don't need to do for every single model. They can just differentiate the fix as common or specific and push accordingly.
Android TV is a welcome addition where the security and content updates can be pushed through google architecture. But still the company need to commit themselves to provide software support for all the models they release.
In that way investing in companies with prominent software ecosystem throughout the models really worthy. If you can do it, then you earn customer satisfaction for rest of the good working models.

Will bet more on a company which can ensure availability of components for repair and ready stock of physical TV sets for replacement. VU has been quite decent on this front.
As for Xiaomi, their after service sales service has not been that great. If they don't have pieces to sell, not sure how many they will have for replacements.

Purchase the Audiolab 6000A Integrated Amplifier at a special offer price.
