Flipkart didnt give Jeeves warranty plan along with the TV.
I've had good experience with Jeeves, since you did not get that option, consider buying it from the manufacturer. As for the lightning strike issue, use spike guard or voltage stabilizer (Sorry never had that experience so I don't know which is the correct gadget), do ask them beforehand in writing if that kind of damage is covered.

The maximum I've seen is 4 years (Toshiba TV's, based on Vidaa OS).
If you're getting a 1 + 2 years warranty, that is also fine.

Re: The Budget / Frugal TV thread

Had bought a Toshiba 39inch LED TV in 2014. It was repaired first time this year with a new panel and yes there were many LED bulbs which were replaced. Post repair it worked fine but the screen now on the first start becomes hazy but after sometime becomes normal. We are still using it and may replace later this year or next. The Toshiba was selected because it had the maximum warranty at that time. The repair guy had a tough time sourcing the panel as it is not a common TV.

Re: The Budget / Frugal TV thread

Any suggestions for a 65 inch TV preferably QLED & Optical out (Have a LG sound bar with optical support only) It'll be wall mounted in a bright room of 16*17

These latest model TVs don't provide free wall mount?

Was eyeing this model but not much reviews to take a plunge

I noticed that the models from Hisense and VU are exactly the same. In fact manufactured by the same factory. I have a Hisense 65" TV. I had statred searching for VU but there was noting in stock on Amazon.
Earlier VU was locally manufactured. They used to have a unit close to my brother's premises.

Is there any electronic product not made in China?

Now I'm looking for a second TV for the bedroom. Something in 35-45". Any good deals on Amazon?

Initial impressions are good.
May I know how has been your experience with this model. I was checking to get a new TV, and currently, it is retailing below 25k. 2023 models have also come - costlier than these but they also carry a 3-year warranty.

I am confused whether to get a 41-43 inch LG model (love the magic remote) or upgrade to 50 with the same budget by going with Hisense or TCL. If anyone has any recommendations, do let me know. Thanks!

Re: The Budget / Frugal TV thread

The TV is good. Has good viewing angles, sound is also decent. Far field mic works flawlessly so no need to search for remote to control operations. A simple ok google voice command is good enough.
But I am not a very discerning viewer. We hardly watch 5-6 hours of TV in a week. Some OTT, Cricket and football is all we watch

Re: The Budget / Frugal TV thread

Have any BHPians used Motorola TVs? If yes, hows the quality and performance?
