So I poured myself into the reviews for the Hisense A8F and here's the thing: This is an great TV for watching movies and shows. Period. And at the price point we are getting, its just amazing! Gaming on the other hand is not that great. Lots of issues there esp the game mode. Now it can be argued that the game mode in VIDAA OS may be better since the complains are from the Android version, but the panel itself is poor in terms of motion. So I don't think, it will be that better. For Action movies, there are 2 arguments. On one hand, there is low stutter compared to faster panels which is great but there is comparatively more judder and motion blur.
if your budget is 60k u79 is avery good optionSo I poured myself into the reviews for the Hisense A8F and here's the thing: This is an great TV for watching movies and shows. Period.

Overall, its great for watching movies and TV shows. Better color overall than even the Samsung Q60R (after calibration that is). Comparing it to that TV because that's what one will have to spend to overcome the motion handling issues but compromise on the PQ (it does not have FALD). And it is 30k more than this. So I don't think one can get anything better for the price. Take it from a guy who owns a 2008 21" Onida CRT and a HP 720p 15.6" Pavilion. I know what I am saying
On a serious note guys, is there a good TV under 60k? :/ I don't care too much for HDR. Good motion handling, upscaling for DTH and SDR are what I want. But every TV I see messes something up. Digit reviewed the Hisense A71F today and the dude said very positive things about it. I like his reviews since he is not a spec sheet reader and actually uses a bunch of reference scenes from movies, shows and games. It is not scientific but a good naked eye review (which is what matters in the end anyway).

I guess you gotta wait for U80 to be launched and for a 55" version of it to be announced as well. Might be a long wait but if you are in no hurry, not a bad option, no?
Yeah it definitely is! So going by what you rightly explained regarding motion in movies, this should be good for action movies as well. I don't watch sports so video games is the one that remains. @fragpic said he is fine playing on it. And it is Forza which I can easily take as example of a fast paced game.
When he said in the end that I personally like watching this TV with dim lights ON and not in complete dark, I felt that's what he was pointing out in a diplomatic way
Yeah, that'd be great if they do!
Sorry to say this but what is the point of asking same things again and again.we have discussed till death about these toshiba tvs already in 2 threads.You have created seperate thread about 55 inch tv recommendation.where people have given you many suggestion .again you are asking which tv to buy under 60k.So I poured myself into the reviews for the Hisense A8F and here's the thing: This is an great TV for watching movies and shows.

Yeah I hear you man. Regarding this Toshiba, I asked about the motion handling myself and what I found by going through a lot of reviews, I just felt it would be helpful to others if I put it here. I am sure there are others who have the same use case as me.
No issues man.we are all here to help each other in selecting a good tv.so cheersYeah I hear you man.

Regarding the 60k suggestion thing, I gotta admit I said it in a rhetorical/rant sort of a way. Even on my thread, the models we have discussed are all 70-75k. And I am just trying to negotiate in the market since those are over a year old and yet they aren't lowering the price. So its kinda frustrating you know. Anyway, didn't mean to cause redundancy in the threads
. I booked the 55inch variant and expected delivery is next week. Will put a review here.As per the above article, I think the prices of Imported TVs are not affected, since we are already paying 20% import duty on it. It is the assembled in India TVs whose prices are going to get affected. I think GoI wants OEMs to manufacture panels in India itself and given them a time frame of 1 year to set up the infrastructure.Here:

you can go ahead and install it yourself it wont tamper with warranty just take few pictures while unboxing
If you dont plan to wall mount, you should be fine installing it yourself if you have another person to help you. The TV itself is quite light.
