Vu Intelligent TV...worth Buying ?

[raksrules]

I saw the ad of the Vu intelligent TV in today's TOI (Mumbai Edition). Is it worth buying this TV or for that matter, this brand ?
Any idea what is the street price of this 46 incher ?

 

[vvkohli]

The 40" Vu Intelligent TV comes with a price tag of Rs 69,990 while the 46" model is priced at Rs 89,990.

I have personally never need a vu lcd.So cant comment on quality.

The Samsungs and Sony are costly for a reason.

What is your budget for the lcd tv.

 

[raksrules]

Have not set my budget yet, but need to get a 46" LCD in say November month

I will have an additional investment on a media player (WD TV , PCH types)

Vu is a brand promoted by Zenith, an Indian PC manufacturer.. I think you get the picture....

 

[raksrules]

^^ In short...stay away...right ?

 

[sharktale1212]

Indian brands ...

 

[superbhikari]

Well Vu is a Luxury-oriented tech company based in California & India. It's only marketed by Zenith, i think.

^^It is owned by Zenith and is run by Raj Saraf's daughter AFAIK.

check the new croma offer on VU..
40" vu full hd+samsung series 4 26" hd ready lc for 49990/-

 

[raksrules]

^^ :O

What ?????? 50k and two LCD Tvs, are Vu TVs bad that croma has to put up such offers to forgo the stock. Just my opinion.

The problem with me is that i want a 46" one and i suppose upto 40" most of the brands have a 1000 Rupees per inch or less calculation but as soon as we jump to higher inches, the price jump is double and not directly proportional

check the new croma offer on VU..
40" vu full hd+samsung series 4 26" hd ready lc for 49990/-

40" vu + samsung 21" for 50k

sony 40" s-series cost 68k at croma.. the same lcd costs $800 (Rs.40k) in US.

as far as the pricing of VU is concerned .. They are not cheap but reasonable.
Quality of picture also seams to be good can not comment on after sales service.

I still think that vu is worth buying...
VU internet tv gives an atom processor which wont play HD content smoothly..
so get an HTPC instead of the internet TV

anybody bought it?

FWIW, I am getting surprisingly good results on a 50" Micromax
I ordered it for the heck of it since it cost just a tad more than known brand 32"- And pleased to say that the contrast /viewing angles are as good as the Samsung in the living room

Can't comment on the longevity

Also, Vu is supposed to be a better brand than Micromax
As for the smart bit, you are better off with OSMC running on a Rpi2 compared to the in-built smartness of any smart TV
Suggest you go to a store and compare the Vu back-to back with others
