| ![]() + 1 to the above. Get the branded ones. Go for the Sony. I was looking for a TV for a few months and did a lot of research- from Mi to RealMe to OnePlus to everything else, and I actually spent money on the Sony about two weeks ago. I cannot tell you how awesome the PQ is. |

We got an LG 55"4k (LG-55SM8100) last Diwali for around 72K with 3 years warranty. The scheme required a 6 month EMI, but the interest was paid back after three months. So I suggest that you a) Look up the specs of this TV on the LG site. b) Hunt around for best bargains available now, or wait till Fiwalu to get best deals. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() My ordeal with a brand new Sony LED TV failure within in two days of purchase. Here are the sequence of events and how helpless a consumer in India can be. Purchased new Sony KD-65X8000H from Croma retail on 10-Aug-2020. The TV was wall mounted on 12-Aug-2020 by the Sony technician and worked perfectly for 2 days. On the second day, display faded suddenly and turned to a blank screen while watching the TV. Audio continue to work and TV was still ON. I tried multiple reboots and change of source before registering a complaint. Except display, everything seemed to be working, including wifi. Sony technician arrived the 4th day after registering complainant. He opened up the TV and performed a preliminary assessment. He could not resolve the issue on his first visit and had no clue what next. I continued to follow up with Sony and Croma and all I heard was, we are working on next options. I wrote to Sony support head and Croma support via email and requested for a replacement. Only good thing so far is, I received response from both Sony and Croma stating they have informed the concerned team. But I do not see anyone is really concerned except me as I am clueless what is happening after 7 days! What options to do I have? Anyone been through similar situation? Emails and phone calls are leading only to automated or standard responses like "we are working on it". It is unbelievable a Sony TV can fail like this in 2 days. I had big respect for the brand and also decided to buy from a retail chain than Amazon. Both decisions gone wrong. |

Hey JithinR, I have been hunting for PS5 compatible 4K TV as well but unfortunately there aren't many options available in India right now but I do hope that next year we might have many more options. Currently, this is the only VFM option available for Indians. Samsung Frame TV. The most popular and recommended LG CX is nowhere to be found and the previous version C9 is retailing at 1.5L in India. I was hoping to buy CX next year when LG C11 is launched ![]() HDMI 2.1 is a necessity to utilize the 4K content from PS5. Many game companies have confirmed that their game will be playable at 4k@30 FPS as the minimum requirement and another important feature to consider is 120Hz refresh rate. Both these standard features are available in the Samsung Frame TV. The only downside is that it is a QLED panel and not OLED. And finally 4K TV should be the way to go forward, every platform is ready to stream 4K and moreover buying a 4K TV will make it future proof at least for the next 3-4 years. | |

| ![]() My experience with Sony is they do replace the product but it takes time. Way back when my PS3 fat failed they took a month and as it was out of stock in India they replaced it with PS3 slim. So, I am sure you will get a replacement of same or better model but it's gonna take time. In the meantime keep mailing them, tweeting them and make as much noise as you can on social media platforms. |

Looks like they edged past LG to number 2 position in global sales. I think its time we warm up to TCL TVs. https://www.displaydaily.com/article...cl-surges-to-2 | |

| ![]() These specifications look more than decent. If priced correctly, this can shake up the market in my opinion. https://toshibatv-in.com/65-ultimate-4k-quantum-dot-tv/ |

There have been lot of complaints against Croma, where they ship you the showroom display products. My brand new VU TV has a small flickering line on screen, and they said replacing display card will solve the problem. I strictly rejected and demanded a new fresh piece. I got a new one within a week. | |

But it doesn't actually seem the TCL 6 series is anywhere as good as they advertised (personally if the THX certified game mode delivers subpar PQ its not worth the trade off). The local dimming algorithm seems off as per this guy. | |

Infractions: 0/1 (4) | ![]() Does anyone have any idea on the Hisense line of TV's. As far as I have read (I have literally started looking at TV's after almost a decade so might have missed something) they were introduced through Amazon this year. However, I don't see any of their popular models on Amazon. I am interested in their 2019 H9F (which seems to have got great reviews of punching way above its price range) and 2020 H9G. |
