Need suggestions for 43" 4k UHD Smart TV at ~₹30k

[omega44-xt]

How is this LG 2019's model compared to Vu Ultra 4k?

I liked how LG UM7300 looked, 6000 series wasn't that good. IMO budget TVs from big brands might be a bit inferior to good VFM options like Vu, Toshiba, even new Nokia & Moto TVs.

Yeah. Nokia one seems good for under 30k. But days of good 4K TVs at 25k seems over.

Found this Samsung wondertainment 43 inch, this is unavailable online so check with Samsung locally.

*www.amazon.in/dp/B086R8D4NM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabt1_F4MXFb87HVCMP

Online it shows 36k and This is a Tizen os tv.

Cheap Chinese TVs, like Nokia, has a better panel. But if you don't live in a big city, better avoid those Chinese TVs due to lack of after sales.

Vu Ultra 4K TV is back

Vu Ultra 4K TV is back

How is the upscaling of regular 720p/1080p content in this TV ?

Upscaling is excellent. Watch some reviews on youtube

Most good budget TVs have decent upscaling for 720p & good one for 1080p, but at 480p, even big names suffer, just not enough info I guess.

No 43" yet.
I will wait for new models..

Got the Vu Ultra 4K 55" delivered today to my parents

 

[doubleseven]

How good is Vu's service. I see a lot of complaints about HiSense. Want to get a 30K 43" for parents and I am confused

Vu service is better than all the Chinese TV brands right now. excluding big Giants (Samsung, LG, Sony)

How is "GoWarranty" service?

*gowarranty.in/

Also available on Amazon. Coupons.

Anyone tried it?

 

[TigerKing]

So finally purchased Hisense 43A6H 4k TV
₹21990 on Amazon.
Discounts -
4000 coupon on product page.
2000 instant discount SBI debit card.
1000 discount by price above some limit
1200 Cashback coupon collected during Kickstart sale

I think there is more discount for SBI credit card.

Next purchase is warranty. I will try gowarranty.

Sony x74k 43" 4k 2022 model is also available for 34500k but above my budget.

I would suggest avoid VM reviews, recently he was exposed of giving false reviews on Toshiba and Vu

Any video link?

Okay.

About brightness,
Luminance measurements should be taken on center and all four corner. Total 5 measurements.

In 1st video, Vineet's review, i can see value rising from that Luminance meter
In 2nd video, techiebeez, same thing.

1st, Also brightness was tested on screen center.
2nd, not tested on center

TBH, I am no expert.
But may be Techiebeez channel got defective product. Or Vineet Malhotra was targeted by Toshiba brand and they indirectly send that quality TV.
Also recently I am also facing used product delivered by Amazon (i returned all, but all products were below ₹1000)

Also there are no in depth reviewers for tv in India.
Showing all colour testing, settings, all content.

I checked this review too. But this TV is different. Just like TCL in India and abroad.
