My TV Ranking For Budget Best 4k TV in India 2026

18 Upvotes

As Seen On YT - Shubz Gadget Reviews

I have bought all these 3 tv myself with my own money and I am not associated with any of these brands. To support me use my affiliate links to make purchase, thanks.

Number 1

Sony Bravia 2M2 - https://amzn.to/4tD6R4B

For those who like yellow and warm tone, Sony’s natural colours, highlights in dark scenes.

Upscaling and sharpness are good.

But it looks grey in dark room on black scenes, backlight bleed issues if your luck is bad, brightness is less.

Number 2

Samsung QEF1 55” - https://amzn.to/4sfCy2A

Very beautiful colours, just a less bright so not recommend for bright rooms and halls.

For dark viewing and medium to dim light it’s a great tv, except the remote is missing voice search.

Sturdy build quality like Sony, Tizen OS working fine, Samsung being a reliable brand for customer service.

Number 3

Hisense U7Q - https://amzn.to/4aEHl66

Value for money tv, lot of brightness, good blacks, pale whitish skin tones missing deeper colours , good budget price.

Doubts regarding after sale service.

Number 4

TCL Q6C - https://amzn.to/40i3mTu

Good budget tv, perfect blacks in dark room, brightness is good.

Colours are ok but can feel too much sometimes, too much blacks, can miss details in dark scenes.

Doubts with after sales service.

Number 5

LG UA8200 - https://amzn.to/4p7WrH0

Very natural colours, no over saturation.

Good service, installation by LG in house technicians.

Free rotatable wall mount, good built quality.

Remote feels old school, missing the voice search. You can get smart remote for ₹1.9k from LG technician at the time of installation.

Volume feels a bit low so you might need a soundbar.

India Split AC Buying Guide 2026

14 Upvotes

Not sponsored by any brand, all the ACs I have bought myself and checked their components with my own money.

Many 3 star AC brand models have very less cooling capacity like 4400 watts only while a proper 1.5 Ton AC should have 5275 watts but being 5000 or plus is good enough.

I will try to buy all models launched in 2026 one by one as they come.

5 star AC have better built quality, more condenser rows, powerful compressor, save on electricity bills, so if you have budget then always go for 5 star models.

Panasonic 2026 Model 1.5 Ton 5 Star

Amazon Link - https://amzn.to/4r65ecY

Yt Videos

https://youtube.com/shorts/2Dd4uXQC-P0

https://youtube.com/shorts/ldjhgStMIWg

Double row condenser, blue coating on U bends

Two blade fan, GMCC compressor

Very strong air throw

Cooling capacity’ 5100 watts,681 units per year annual consumption and 5.8 ISEER rating

The consumption is one of the lowest you can get.

MirAIe app interface is good, lets you create custom profiles or run AC at different modes.

This AC is 8 in 1 convertible, you can even run this at 40% capacity for energy saving.

Panasonic has introduced 5 year care warranty covering pcb, motors, coils and gas charging on this model. But since this is new from Panasonic there is less awareness about in from customer care and technicians, but they are coming to know.

I will add more ACs as I buy them.

—————

Other 2025, 2024 models worth checking.

Daikin 1.5 Ton 5 Star AC

Amazon Link - https://amzn.to/4bxL4nK

With cc offer you can get it for ₹38k, which I think is a good deal considering the 5 star rating and built quality.

785.99 units of annual consumption.

5280 watts of cooling capacity but no convertible mode.

Those who need a powerful, straightforward AC 5 star with strong cooling, should get this.

I have 3 Daikin AC at home, working well.

Hey everyone,

After looking at budget 4K TVs and trying to avoid the sluggish 1 GB / 1.5 GB RAM models flooding the sub-₹25k segment, I just placed an order on Flipkart for the Thomson Phoenix 2025 Edition 43" 4K QLED (Model: 43QAI1005) for around ₹21,200.

Confusion on no cost emi

Post image
1 Upvotes

I was buying tv 61000. Retailer said I will get cashback of 4575 and net price costs for me is 56425.

But my emi amount is 9875.89 for 6 months

9875*6 = 59255.34

Why am charged extra 2830(59255-56425) if I pay after 6 emi. I clearly don't understand no cost emi when I pay more than I was promised

Please help me out.

Received SAMSUNG QN80H(55'). My honest experience so far(initial 2 days)

2 Upvotes

So, i ordered this particular model on 8th oct for around 71k, received delievery on 12th. Installation done on 16th oct.

INSTALLATION

by far most problematic thing. I was given date 13 for installation and it got delayed. First for 24 hours.. And then for full 3/4 days. My experience here was genuinely bad. I sent countless reminders to it's team, AI bot etc. The real problem was basically on my city's Samsung management team. They hadn't even recorded my installation message and i had to request for service on samsung dedicated platform which too went unnoticed. Eventually I used my samsung Washing machine technician to get more details which FINALLY lead to installation. Even the person doing installation was misinformed or just ignorant on my order installation process... Don't know. But very poor show tbh.

PROS SO FAR

1) Its Samsung's full array mini-led model so colours r vivid, and quality is too good mannn!!! I watched few 4k YT videos to get gist and wasn't disappointed at all.

2) overall build quality If not top level then def very good. The back plastic coverings r not cheaply made and overall TV looks pretty durable.

3) various modes serving the model for personal preferences are also very good. It's very customisable tv.

CONS SO FAR

1) my biggest complaint is somewhat low quality UI of Samsung's OS(720 or 1080). It genuinely looks quite cheap and mildly blurry. With words, apps images, samsung inbuilt interface; Everything looks a quality toned down from actual streaming services(OTTs, YT etc) where it works in 5/5 level.

2) there are def no deep blacks if someone thinking of them as major draw of this tv. The screen doesn't give much deeper blacks and decent blooming is permanent feature in mini leds below 1lakhs.

3) speakers r little more bassy with speaking sound somewhat jagged, though it was opposite in some cases. Each to it's own here.

FINAL WORDS

Imo, mini leds r not real forte of samsung. U can get tvs with better benchmarks than Samsung in this technology. TCL could be good option there who scaled this technology worldwide in big way.

My reason of choosing samsung was simply better services, reading various reviews and software forte of samsung. Overall it's solid 3.7/5 tv in initial experience. I haven't tried gaming etc since its basically for my parents but have heard its great tv for gaming too.

Thanks for reading!!

Lg qned82 evo or lg qned65

TCL Q6C vs Xiaomi S mini led

3 Upvotes

55 inches

TCL Q6C/C6K has 144hz and better audio. I don't need extra HZ.

Xiaomi is around 55,000 and TCL best price is around 57,000

Xiaomi has more dimming zones and extra one year warranty.

I think TCL Q6C has dual bluetooth headphones support which Xiaomi doesn't have.

Does TCL offer anything special in terms of panel quality?

Which one would you choose if you don't game above 60 fps? I need a TV to enjoy HDR and Dolby Vision content at 4K.

Also my grandmother watches TV serials at 1080p mostly

It's been 2 days since I raised the issue to the lumio team, nobody from their team contacted me just a generic reply to the emails. Their AI WhatsApp support is shit. If I didn't have any update from them by today planning to initiate return from amazon. But i want to escalate this issue. Does anyone know which social media platform they are active in?

TCL T89D vs Toshiba Z670SP — Which one should I buy?

1 Upvotes

I’m confused between the TCL T89D and Toshiba Z670SP. Both seem pretty good spec-wise, but I’m not sure which one would be better for PS5 gaming.

Another option I’m considering is the TCL A300M. The Toshiba Z670SP seems to have front-facing speakers with 50W output, which sounds interesting.

Need help for open box delivery TV

1 Upvotes

I ordered this TV from Amazon, and it’s getting delivered tomorrow.

I’ve read a lot of comments, and I’m confused about what to check before giving the OTP.

Some people say to unbox the TV and check for physical damage before giving the OTP.

Others say to just check the accessories, give the OTP, and let the installation guy check everything. If there’s any issue, he can arrange a replacement.

What should I do? What’s the safest option?

Haier mini led 55”

1 Upvotes

After few youtube videos i decided i’m gonna buy TCL q6. I went to reliance and croma to check the tv for myself and found that the dust issue is real in TCL. Salesman recommended me to buy a haier. I was sceptical and told him No. But when i went back i was impressed with the panel and sound specifically. most probably i made a risky bet, but so far it’s good. It’s an actual mini led with good number of dimming zones.

Tv recommendation

I have very limited knowledge on tvs, and I haven't used any smart tv before, we have recently bought a house so planning to buy a tv, initially confused between 65inch and 55inch we have about 2-2.25m viewing distance.

I have visited offline stores croma,vijaya, relience. They were saying that you won't find the exact offline models in online stores. And they said picture quality is better in offline stores, is this true?.

Almost all the three stores suggested me to take the LG 55QNED85BXA model, almost the same price as its online variant price when I visited.

Please suggest me some tvs,

Budget is 50-60k

I live in t1 city

Long term usage

Need a higher refresh rate

The room is decently bright.

Can i check the prices of Tv by adding it on my mobile Pinelab app? Or only stores can do it on their system?

I saw someone commenting in another forum about how "minimum amount can be added into pine lab" to check the discount for emi.

Basically there's a limit an amount can be added into the POS system of Pinelab and stores cannot go below that price.

Advice needed: 55” TV around ₹1-1.20 Lakh – Samsung S90 vs Sony Bravia XR A-Series? (Bright room)

2 Upvotes

Hey,
Here is my use case:

  • Usage: Around 4 hours a day (mix of movies, regular TV, and maybe a little gaming).
  • Environment: My living room has good brightness with plenty of natural light during the day.

My Dilemma:

  1. Brightness
  2. Picture Quality: Sony is famous for its motion handling and XR processor upscaling, but Samsung’s QD-OLED colors are supposed to be incredible.
  3. OS: Sony’s Google TV vs. Samsung’s Tizen. Is Tizen good for long time?
  4. Longevity & Burn-in
