Few days back the Backlight of my Philips 40 PFL4650 [bought in oct 2015, India Specific model by videocon] went & now waiting for replacement part. The waiting time is still unknown as Videocon have shut down its business due to heavy losses. They are servicing philips tv's but I doubt the availability of spares. Moreover now TPV Technology will be directly bringing Philips Television, European models here in India.
So servicing Philips TV even under warranty will be an issue I guess.

I have almost finalized to go with new 49 or 50 inch television. Please give your advice.


1. Budget
Especially Under 40k INR

2. Display type and size
Television Size has to be 49 or 50 inches

3. What will the TV/monitor be used for primarily?
Will be used with Tata Sky HD & few Normal SD channels, Streaming online content, Watching Personal Full HD Movie collection via Android box.

4. Types and number of ports required?
Minimum 3 HDMI with 1 or 2 ARC, 1 Digital Coaxial out, 1 SPDIF Optical Out, 2 USB, 1 headphone out
1 LAN port, WiFi

5. Preferred choice of brand?
TCL, Philips newer model by TPV Technology
Open for any other quality brand but need 3 yrs comprehensive warranty.

6. Any TV/monitor in consideration?
TCL S6500 TCL P30 series or any TCL latest Smart Tv
Philips 50PUT6103S/94
Open for any other quality brand model but need 3 yrs comprehensive warranty.

7. Any other info that you want to share.
3 yrs comprehensive warranty must.
Video Quality & Upscaling is utmost important for me. I can compromise on 4k panel & instead can choose quality Full HD panel with good up-scaling,
Good viewing angle along with better Black level,
Smart TV preferred especially Certified Android

I strongly suggest against getting TCL as they are Chinese and I don't have experience about VU TVs, maybe someone else will help you with them. I don't know about warranty but Panasonic was giving 3 year please confirm with them.
I would suggest you to audition it once

Thank you all for your responses.

I am still waiting for call from Service centre. I have read online that Philips are offering resolution to customers whose TVs are within warranty & Not serviceable.

@Minion
Any specific reasons?
I have seen TCL 40 inch some S62** model in showroom & it seemed to be very good in terms of Picture Quality. Not to forget 3 yrs comprehensive warranty.
After Philips [Videocon make] I felt TCL has Better picture Engine [IPQ Engine ] in budget range.

Actually I was interested in following 49 inch or 43 FHD
49" S6500 Series

Last 2 days back got to know that TCL P65US is being stocked soon with one reputed outlet called Kohinoor.

I have seen 49 inches Full HD Panasonic FS630D @45k but could not get demo as it was not connected. How is it?

BTW I have a doubt that should I really invest in 49 inches Full HD Television?
LG has stopped now. Last model was LK57 Series ThinQ AI model which is nowhere to be seen now.


I may even think of getting 43 inches smart Full HD tv like
LG 43LK5760PTA Smart TV With AI ThinQ™ | LG IN


Sometime I even fell like getting 49 inch 4k smart IPS tv from LG like below but still unsure to invest 60k in that model.
LG 49UK6360PTE 4k Ultra HD TV With DTS Virtual: X | LG IN

Somehow VU never appeal to me. Sorry no offence here. I will surly check them in Company store.

Thanks again for you support.

I have seen Panasonic TH-43FX650D in Reliance digital, PQ seems good it was sharp and colorful though I didn't have chance to look closely.

LG 43LK5760PTA don't seems like very good option to me.

I would suggest
Samsung Series 7 108cm (43 inch) Ultra HD (4K) LED Smart TV (43NU7100)
Samsung Series 7 108cm (43 inch) Ultra HD (4K) LED Smart TV Online at best Prices In India (Only problem I can find with this TV is lack of android OS)

If you are into TCL then I would suggest
TCL 43P65US
Tcl 43p65us 43 Inch Led 4k Tv | TCL (Specification looks good but personally I have no experience with this)
please confirm this has 4k panel or not because TCL page seems confusing.

I would suggest not to go for 49 inch full HD tvs to low ppi PQ will not be that great if you sit close to TV.

Amazon fire stick is far better than any "smart TV" so don't focus too much on it when considering buying options.

As of now LG WebOS is far superior to any other TV OS in the market, Tizen OS comes 2nd and Android on TV is laggy.

As per your usage, Edge-Lit LED will suffice.

Update:
Last Sunday when executive came to pick up my tv for servicing he told backlight for this specific model will not be available. I need to contact service center for replacement models or get refund. Normally 20 percent is deducted as depreciation per annum. By coming saturday I will visit there. I will take refund,expecting at least 6k as told by service person or 9k if they consider 30% value left (1.5 yrs warranty left).


Now coming to new tv suggestions.....

Can stretch the budget to 58k for 49 inch specially LG 49 uk6360 pte or someting better than it.

Are there Full Array Local Dimming televisions available here in India? I found LG
SK8500PTA series. Any other full array local dimming in less budget? 43 inch will also do.


The normal viewing distance from tv screen to eye level would be 8 to 9 feets or max 10 feet at extreme corner of L type sitting. 6 feets if sitting on floor.

Still not sure of tv size, mind say to jump for 49/50 inch from existing 40 inch tv but sometimes I feel it's overkill for my purpose of viewing Full HD content from 8-9 feet distance.

If at all I consider 43 inch tv can I go with just Full Hd model?

Also can I choose Full HD in 49 range ?

Me searching for similar concerns 49" tv in a lesser budget, have decided on mi tv pro 49" .
Warranty is 1 years + 1 year on panel + plus one can buy 1 year comprehensive warranty from flipkart @ Rs. 1300. So almost 3 years comprehensive..
FullHD - parents watch SD content, so don't think can go for 4k
Have other mi hardware - mi box, mi scale, a mobile and mi smartband, and mi mini router . They all continue working perfectly! So we are very happy with mi stuff.
Fits budget as well. plus there was a showroom nearby where I saw the quality.
FYI: Like most its screen is glossy

Was also considering VU and onida.

There are other ways to show your "patriotism" than buying dubious quality Indian brand products(charity or ngo for children/defense personnel at the top of the mind). When buying a TV with a budget of 60k stick to established & credibly reviewed brands.
