Are You Smarter Than Your TV?
Man's World|July 2017

Your TV isn’t an idiot box any more. It’s become so smart that it can now perform the functions of a computer as well as a smartphone, in addition to what it's meant for. Lowered data prices and faster internet speeds have further helped their popularity soar in India. If you’re a geek (or not), who’s saving up to own this piece of gadgetry, here are some of the top options in the country.

Are You Smarter Than Your TV?

Samsung Q Series

After first introducing smart televisions in 2015, the Korean manufacturer has come a long way, with its latest range of 4K QLED TVs that come in three different series – the Q7, the Q8 and the Q9. Each series comprises flat screens sized 55 inches (138 cm), 65 inches (163 cm), 75 inches (189 cm) and 88 inches (223 cm). The ‘Q’ in QLED here stands for Quantum Dot technology, which Samsung claims allows the TVs to offer deep blacks and rich details. Other features include a new Invisible Connection and No-Gap Wall-mounts, in addition to the Smart remote control and a Smart Hub interface.

LG OLED Series

Not only are these 4K televisions – with their ‘picture on glass’ design technology – extremely good-looking screens, they also produce their own light and colour, independent of the surroundings, to deliver high-quality levels of contrast. As a result, the series is miles ahead of LCD technologies, with deep black colours right alongside the brightest HDR whites. Additional features include an integrated sound bar that claims Dolby web OS support and the Korean tech giant’s excellent web OS smart system, across all of the nine models in this range.
