VU LTDN65XT800XWAU3D 65 inch (165 cm) LED Full HD TV

This unit/tv i have connected as a monitor for my cpu containing Asus STRIX OC 980ti GPU and runs at 2160p 60Hz right out of the bat without any issues. The tv unit also contains inbuilt HEVC decoder for videos which is excellent. While the colors are vibrant and brightness of the screen is exceptionally high there is no additional advantage of being premium/limited edition such as live tv streaming subscription pack free nor a free netflix subscription which is kind of a turn off. Other than that the display unit outperforms other counterparts and is definitely full value for money.

My 5 year old 55 inch LED TV went dead suddenly and I was in the market for a new TV. Wanted a bigger TV as I was ‘tired’ of a ‘smaller’ one! Sony, Samsung and LG (not again!) were out of the question mainly of the cost (at least 2X of the VU) and I don’t feel they offer value for money. Heard about Vu brand many years ago as a brand into commercial panels. Had to decide between Vu and LeTv. Own a LeTv LeMax and had a bad experience with repairs so was biased against it! Had a look at all the reviews on Flipkart and online and decided to take the plunge! I use the TV mainly for gaming on my PS3,PS4 and Xbox and wanted one with HDR capabilities (HDR a new buzz word these days!) Ordered prior to Diwali so got 25k off and 3k off thanks to Citibank and interest free EMI was the icing on the cake! Flipkart promised delivery to Visakhapatnam in 48 hours and boy did the stick to their promise! Was ‘aghast’ to see my new TV on the delivery van with no extra packing but lucky there was no issue whatsoever. The TV comes in a HUGE packing that is very well done. Installation is done by Jeeves and you can pick the time and date. The guy at Jeeves admonished me when I said I wanted the installation after Diwali as I was travelling. “Diwali sir!, you don’t want it for Diwali? Were his exact words! A reviewer cautioned saying unboxing should be done by the technicians lest there be some damage in transit. Jeeves sent a person promptly once I was back. The TV was nicely packed along with the stand, remote, manuals, warranty card and the wall mount. I opted for table mount, the base takes around ten minutes to fix and once done the behemoth was up! I preferred using a VGuard stabiliser that is supposed to protect against generator surges etc. Switching on the TV booted in no time, all the set up including network setting is very straight forward and easy. Connected Tata Sky HD to it and my PS4. SD channels look quite bad as expected on such a big screen but HD is a different story. The best ofcourse was from the PS4: AWESOME!! in one word! Games, blu ray moves are just terrific. The remote has dedicated keys for Netflix and YouTube. There was an initial hiccough connecting to both but was solved on booting the TV and network again. Netflix has 4k UHD content and Breaking Bad looked superb! A fast internet is a must! The Opera TV app store is decent, I don’t fancy that much barring the weather app. All is available on the phone isn’t it?! Connectivity wise 2 USB 2.0 and 1 USB 3.0(blue), connected my 1TB Toshiba HDD and the entire content showed up immediately. Movies played flawlessly. One can mirror smartphone content to the TV using Anycast. Four HDMI ports with different capabilities, do check the user manual for that. Optical out, earphone out, component input make the rest of the ports. The bezels of the TV are quite small and the aluminium finish gives it a very posh look. The only downside for me was the audio quality, I feel most smart TVs are not smart when it come to that! Shall plan for a sound bar or connect my Onkyo HTS to it soon. I will give this TV a 5 star because its total value for money especially for a gaming addict. It come with a 3 year warranty which is sweet, they have an active Facebook page and an android app for support. For people sitting on the fence, go for it! Thanks for reading!
