1. Budget?
~30k or less
2. Display type and size?
4k UHD and 43"+
3. What will the TV/monitor be used for primarily?
TV, Smart things (casting, internet, ott apps, other apps)
contents from = 4K UHD 2160p HDR 10bit or 12bit supported mostly for (4k prints from ***ahem groups***)
(I don't know whether these formats HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision or HLG will able to play these above videos)
1080p 12bit supported on 4k HDR tv?
As I searched mediatek is leader in TV market, is it capable enough to play this.
Also 2GB and 16GB is really necessary for 4k UHD? I don't see many tv has it.
4. Types and number of ports required?
2+HDMI ARC needed (for speaker future purchase), Ethernet/LAN, 3.5mm jack, 1+USB ports,
is it possible to connect 4+ Bluetooth headphones on TV at a time?
Are there any else ports?
5. Preferred choice of brand?
What exact difference will be there in branded and others? I see too many similar specs, but they don't mention exact hardware they used.
preferable os - Certified Android TV (google play store or google apps) high boot time for android tv, will be fine.
Not used any Smart TV, don't know much about Fire OS, webOS or Tizen or Linux TV.
6. Any TV/monitor in consideration?
preference to any latest model. Value for money.
No TV in consideration.
Any TV that will last around 5+ years max
(I was looking for branded TV (specifically LG), as most company have good service after purchase. But confused about need of after sale service.)
7. Any other info that you want to share.
need 20w+ sound (even 20w seems not good enough).
After sale service or any repair service does not mean a thing as I experienced. And there is not enough warranty years to claim for it.
Most cases standard TV needs repair after 4-5 years later, when there's no warranty. except "display panel" everything can be repaired but service center don't repair it. They just replace it with new one. Display panel costs around 40%-80% of TV price. So service does not mean anything unless it's in warranty. Otherwise standard TV lasts for many years if you are lucky. (correct me if I am wrong)
I have experienced this in case of standard TV. Is this similar for smart TVs too.
Are smart tvs more prone to damage because of being smart (OS problems, hardware problem)? Anyone using smart tv without issue over 5 years?
I can wait till Diwali too for better value for money Smart TV.
Any suggestion before purchasing Smart TV, as most TV's are online you can't check lower brightness, higher brightness, features, etc.
