Senior - BHPian | ![]() Are there any non-smart 4K TV's. I do not need any thing but Tata Sky to run. If non Android is cheaper and as good I would prefer that. Any experience with VU 55 inch 4K pixelight TV (55BPX). This is a Linux based TV and meets all my requirements. It seems that the 55 inch has two versions BPX and QVD. All review are for QVD and none for BPX. Last edited by Aroy : 2nd October 2019 at 10:29. |

I have a Sony Android TV so do not have any problem with the streaming apps. Want to buy a Samsung next and if Hotstar works for you, will keep Samsung as a consideration. What warranty have they offered you - one year manufacturer and additional you can buy 2 years or 3 years. Quote:

| ![]() Best option is to not get any warranty. Why incur a sure loss of 18k on a purchase of less than 1 lakh? Nothing happens to TVs for a few years most of the time. Extended warranties make money for the companies as the chances of any repair are slim in the first few years. A few years down the road, you might want to upgrade to a bigger TV anyway. I would take a chance on having to pay 30k for a possible repair that probably won’t be required rather than take a sure loss of 18k upfront. |

| ![]() Absolutely - just self insure. One out of 10 appliances may suffer some problems in the first 3 years. In the money you saved from not buying an extended warranty for 10 appliances you can cover the repair of that one appliance (or even 2) & still have a lot of money left over. The only thing I ever buy an extended warranty for is a laptop, that is very likely to have problems within 3 years (my use is quite rough - so I have many problems over 3 years). |

| ![]() I don't have any idea on reliability of the current crop of TVs, but back in 2013 when I bought a plasma TV, all online forums recommended buying extended warranty. So I bought 2 years extended warranty. Exactly after the 12 month standard warranty was over, the panel started developing dead lines. But since I had the extended warranty, the panel replacement was free, completed at my only. The panel used to cost something like 50 / 55k. |

I have been using 50QDV (4K 50 inch) model. There have been no problems, the panel quality is good. The speakers, I feel, are not sufficient even for a small hall of 120 sq ft. I have bought a Amazon 4K Firestick which is serving me well, it has voice support, bluetooth & 5Ghz wifi support. There is one issue though for which I got the panel changed once, whenever I switch to Firestick, there is a horizontal white line at the bottom most of the screen. It comes only while playing videos. This issue persists even in the new panel. Seems to be a higher refresh rate issue. Last edited by mercedised : 2nd October 2019 at 14:14. | ||

| ![]() Panel changed at your own cost? If not, how was the experience? |

1) It is manufactured by Flipkart. 2) It is serviced by Jeeves. Samsung has a Frame Series which comes with QLED panels (which Oneplus is claiming but not really giving). It usually retails around 1 big one but is available for 75-ish on Flipkart during the sale. It's a no brainer for anyone who is planning to put that kind of money on the TV. It comes with a 10-year warranty on the panel. Coming to my own purchase: I ordered Oneplus TV for 70 K which included a free Alexa speaker. It was costing me around 58 K after including all kinds of cashback and discounts. I, however, canceled the order the next day. I wasn't sure of putting that kind of money on an upstart. So, instead, I have ordered a VU Premium Android 55 inches and MARQ soundbar-woofer combo. The whole setup has cost me 36 grands. I had originally planned to go for Sanyo Kaizan in case OP priced their TVs too high (which they did). But missus wanted to have a cinema-like experience while watching Marvel movies. So, I gave in and decided to ride my luck on something Chinese. It's isn't the first time though. After coming to Bangalore, we don't go out for watching movies and instead indulge ourselves with eclectic food here. It warranted a bigger screen at home which we are getting ourselves. | ||
