Best 4k TVs in India
TV technology has not really seen big changes recently, but things took a new turn in 2016. The incorporation of HDR video into televisions, adds true value addition to TVs, something that 4K or 3D never could bring. The HDR video actually brings noticeable changes to picture quality, and though its availability is limited right now, and TVs supporting HDR are expensive, we can’t wait for this tech to trickle down. Our favourites are based on TVs we reviewed so far.
Sony Z9D 65-inch 4K HDR TV
The Sony Z9D got the Zero1 Award from us this year. When money isn’t a concern, the Z9D is the best television to buy. Sony’s new Backlight Master Drive technology allows more control over the backlights, creating higher contrast, and better blacks. This, combined with a faster than before Android TV experience, makes the Z9D our pick of the year.
LG Signature OLED
The LG Signature OLED has the potential to beat out Zero1 Award winner. Unfortunately, the first review unit we got, had clear image burn issues, while the second one never made it in time for testing. That said, LG confirmed that the burning issue was a unit-specific problem, and we’ve spent ample time with the second unit to put it second on our list. It’s also the only TV in India that supports both HDR10 and Dolby Vision technologies.
Another HDR TV, the Sony X9350D is the first one that we reviewed this year. Much like other high-end televisions from Sony, this one also runs on the AndroidTV platform, and it supports HDR as well. However, the X9350D is focused on providing good audio, along with great picture quality. And the added price seems to make sense.
If you can’t afford the X9350D and don’t care about the inbuilt speakers, the X9300D is the next best thing. It offers everything that the Sony X9350D does, except the speakers on the side. The television looks good, feels good, and its only weakness is that AndroidTV is excruciatingly slow at times. This is actually a concern for all Sony televisions running on the AndroidTV platform right now.
Samsung 55KS9000 4K HDR TV
The Samsung KD9000 is another television that supports HDR technology. It is also a curved TV, for those of you who care. The 55-inch TV is loud, has vibrant colours, and Samsung’s Tizen OS is much faster than AndroidTV or WebOS, and with similar, but not acceptable, app support.
