The bezels of the TV are black, whereas, the stand has a Silver Grey finish on it.

Overall in looks, the TV is fairly smart.

The construction of the remote is decent, on which you get direct buttons to YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video and Disney Hotstar, apart from a button for the Google assistant.

On the connectivity front, the TV has 3 HDMI ports and 2 USB ports, apart from one Ethernet port, an antenna port, an AV port and a headphone jack.

On this TV you get both HDMI ARC and CEC. And, there is also an option for HDMI eARC. The TV comes with dual-band Wi-Fi, apart from a two-way Bluetooth.

Now let's talk about the company's specifications.

This TV comes with an A+ grade VA panel and DLED backlighting.

According to the company, the brightness of the TV is 380 Nits and it has a static contrast ratio of 5000:1.

It comes with the support of HDR10+ and HLG.

The TV has a wide colour gamut+, due to which you get to see 1.07 billion colours on it.

This TV comes with micro dimming, UHD upscaling, digital noise reduction and dynamic signal calibration.

Apart from this, the TV has an intelligent frame stabilizing engine, which according to the company, optimizes the frame to produce smooth and crystal clear picture quality.

The company claims that the dynamic signal calibration on this TV fine-tunes the incoming signals to produce a precise image.

On the audio front, this TV has 15+15 Watts high fidelity speakers that support Dolby audio.

This is an Android TV that comes with Android 11. You can play almost all applications on this TV, and even sideload outside apps on it.

The TV comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. Its power consumption is 100 Watts.

So these were the company-given specifications, now, let's talk about its real performance.

Firstly, let's discuss its picture quality.

This TV comes with pretty good picture quality.

Its contrast and the brightness amongst this size TVs can be said to be fairly good.

Normal contents look superb on this TV.

And, its colour reproduction, though not punchy, is pretty natural as if drawn from real life.

You get to see very sharp pictures that are noise-free to a great extent.

The dirty screen effect is hardly visible on this TV, and, while watching sports you get a very good field view.

The Blacks on this TV are not very deep, but, they are pretty decent.

The TV comes with multiple picture settings, including Live colour, Gamma and Black adjust.

You can set the black level according to your liking.

On this TV, you also get a manual control for the backlight.

Coming to its brightness; The peak brightness of the HDR videos on this TV is not different from that of its SDR videos.

Though the real brightness of this TV is around the claimed brightness by the company, it falls short of the required brightness to play HDR videos in their optimum quality.

In the dark scenes of HDR videos, details are not that visible, as you can see on any high-brightness TV.

But, then too, its dark scene performance is pretty good in comparison with many other TVs of the budget category.

On this TV, you get to see a pretty good picture upscaling.

Along with the OTT contents, this TV is capable of exhibiting good picture upscaling even through the USB port.

This TV is also a very good option in 4k, for those, who watch programs mainly through their set-top box.

The set-top box performance of this TV is pretty good.

If we talk about the viewing angle of this TV, surprisingly, despite being a VA panel TV, its viewing angle is pretty good.

The colours do not wash out even if you watch it from extreme angles, which raised doubt as if this was an ADS panel TV.

The refresh rate of this TV is 60 Hz, still, there is no noticeable motion blur on it.

However, during very fast action scenes you might see some motion blur on it.

Coming to its sound; the audio of this TV though not very loud is quality rich.

You get to hear pretty heaviness in its dialogue delivery.

The audio is sufficient for a medium-sized room, but, if you want a cinematic experience you can connect a good soundbar to its HDMI eARC port.

Though this TV does not come with Dolby Atmos, it has HDMI eARC, through which you can connect any Dolby Atmos home theatre with it and enjoy the Dolby Atmos audio.

Dolby Vision goes missing on this TV, because of which, Dolby Vision videos are limited to HDR quality only.

This TV comes with a built-in Chromecast, so, you can enjoy the contents of your phones on its big screen.

As this TV comes with two-way Bluetooth, you can hear the songs stored on your phone through the speakers of this TV.

Apart from this, you can wirelessly connect your headphones to this TV.

This is an Android TV, which has a smooth UI.

You can play nearly all applications on this TV.

Browsing is pretty fluid and all applications open without any delay or lag.

The voice command feature of this TV is also very responsive.

You can easily operate this TV through your voice command.

The TV is also a very good option in the budget category for PS5 gaming.

Gaming is smooth, lag-free and enjoyable on this TV.

It is also a pretty good option in the budget category to be used as a monitor.

Apart from pictures, the text also appears sharp and clear.
