Hi Guys
I have been looking around in this forum to help decide which tv to buy
Now wanted to share the story for the others.
I always wanted to buy a big tv to replace my now old LG 32" screen I bought for like 35k on 2009.
It served us well and it had only two minor issues but we got into a bigger house so that tv looked tiny.
I bought VU 60 on Flipkart for 77k
https://www.flipkart.com/vu-152cm-6...LSTTVSENJZHFSWTZZ6HDZ3DH2&qH=273dfb0e04858617
Reasons for going with this TV:
I wanted to buy a big brand sony/Samsung or LG however after reading about LG OLED I was interested in buying it but it is just too out of budget at the moment like 2.2L being the minimum price so wanted to wait for the prices to come down.
We cannot wait forever so as a filler we decided to go with a budget brand then replace it later.
As there are a million budget brands we wanted to pick one and see which one has good warranty support,etc.
We zeroed in on VU then had a look at a showroom here in Madurai to find if VU quality is good enough. We are not going to compare this to a Sony and we are a family that is happy with good enough quality
.
We used to live with crappy BPL TV for a decade so to our eyes the quality output from VU vs big brands is not that big of a deal to pay extra lakh or two.
We had a look at 55 inch VU 4k on the showroom, it was mostly okay but the video was slightly out of sync at times with audio in almost all sources may be the showroom piece was faulty and I did not like it.
We went to 60 inches because it was released just a few months ago and we believed the VU would have improved the firmware/whatnot.
Regarding the product:
It is good actually for the price and it exceeds our expectations.
Screen is VERY bright actually we had to tone it down a bit to make it watchable ( I was initially worried about the brightness )
There is a touch of backlight bleed around corners but it is not much of an issue you can notice only when the screen is pitch black and it is marginal.
I see this complaint in pretty much every brand.
The smart tv features are good and we were able to add a Bluetooth keyboard/trackpad and even though we have chromecast I never once needed it yet.
The HD upscaling is flawless and the 480 or 360p upscaling is not bad and this was one thing I was very skeptical i.e too many people worry about the upscaling ability of the tv and make it look like the only big brands do this decently and that the others suck.
The installation / demo was all good from Flipkart & its partner Jeeves.
If you are not a person that is too concerned about 99.99% vs 95% I would suggest go for non-luxury brands and this will help us on the long run by making the sony/samsung/lg lower their costs in India to compete which is win-win for all
Happy to answer any questions, Will post pics when i get a chance.
