Q3 2025 was a big quarter, quite literally, for televisions. From mammoth 100-inch screens to compact 32-inch smart displays, brands went all in on size, brightness, and gaming-friendly features. Mini-LED and OLED tech kept raising the bar for cinematic experiences at home, while budget QLEDs proved that affordable options can still pack a visual punch.
Our test bench saw TVs aimed at movie buffs, hardcore gamers, and students living in smaller apartments. Some dazzled us with sheer screen size, others with refined OLED brilliance, and a few simply delivered solid all-around value. Here’s a look at every Smart TV we reviewed this quarter, ranked by its Editor’s Rating.
The Hisense 100U7Q is unapologetically massive. At nearly ₹3 lakhs, it delivers a 100-inch Mini-LED screen that feels more like a private cinema than a living room TV. With up to 1000 nits brightness, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and silky 165Hz gaming support across all four HDMI 2.1 ports, it’s built to thrill movie buffs and gamers alike. Whether it’s a sunny afternoon sports match or a late-night horror flick, the picture holds up beautifully.
That said, audio is its Achilles’ heel. The built-in 2.1 channel speakers pack volume but stumble on consistency, forcing manual tweaks between content types. Plus, it can’t match OLEDs’ inky blacks and shows mild blooming in dark scenes. Still, if you have the wall space (and budget), this 70kg behemoth offers one of the most immersive big-screen experiences you can buy right now.

The Samsung S95F OLED is OLED done Samsung’s way: bright, glare-free, and gamer-ready. At ₹1,74,990, it brings a QD-OLED panel that’s blazingly bright, resists reflections like a champ, and makes HDR content sparkle. Add in low-latency gaming support, AI-powered upscaling, and a neat SolarCell remote, and it feels every bit the premium experience it promises.
Of course, Dolby Vision fans will be left wanting, and the price tag isn’t exactly gentle. But for buyers who care about brightness, fluid gaming, and an all-around cinematic vibe, the S95F delivers in spades. It’s sleek, smart, and practically tailor-made for modern living rooms.

Thomson’s Masterclass QD-MiniLED TV is proof that cinematic picture quality doesn’t have to drain your bank account. Available in 65 and 75 inches, priced at ₹64,999 and ₹95,999 respectively, it combines Mini-LED backlighting with local dimming to deliver excellent HDR and SDR visuals. Movies look punchy, games feel surprisingly immersive, and the onboard audio is strong enough to keep up.
The Achilles’ heel here is the software. The UI can be sluggish and occasionally glitchy, which does break the otherwise premium illusion. But for buyers chasing sheer picture quality at a fraction of flagship pricing, this TV punches well above its weight class.

The Acerpure Advance G 65-inch is a gamer’s delight on a budget. At under ₹50,000, you get a big-screen QLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a gaming-focused UI that caters to PS5 and Xbox Series X users. With full HDMI 2.1 support across all three ports, console gaming is smooth, responsive, and immersive once HDR settings are fine-tuned.
That said, the panel does show some backlight bleeding, and colours aren’t the most accurate out of the box. Still, for everyday entertainment and gaming marathons alike, the value here is undeniable. For budget-conscious buyers, it’s a ticket to large-screen glory without emptying the wallet.

The Xiaomi Smart QLED TV G 32-inch proves small TVs can still pack style. At just ₹13,999, it offers a QLED panel with HDR10 support, delivering punchy colours and decent off-angle viewing. Add in dual interfaces (Google TV and PatchWall), voice assistant, and Kids Mode, and it feels surprisingly versatile for its size and price.
Where it falls short is resolution. The HD panel feels dated, and the sound quality is best described as “serviceable.” Still, for tight spaces like dorms, bedrooms, or kitchens, this compact TV is a smart, fuss-free choice.

The Vu Vibe TV is all about delivering more bang for the buck. With its 4K QLED panel, Dolby Vision support, and a surprisingly powerful 88W integrated soundbar, it’s a ready-made home theatre for under ₹40K. Gamers aren’t left out either, thanks to VRR and ALLM for smooth 60Hz gameplay.
But the UI isn’t the snappiest, black levels don’t match OLED standards, and reflections can be distracting. Even so, for buyers who want a vibrant, all-in-one entertainment hub without shelling out for extra speakers, the Vu Vibe TV makes a very strong case.
