Vu Premium Android TV review: Solid budget 4K television with Dolby Vision


The Vu Premium Android TV's ability to play ultraHD and HDR content, and support for almost all commonly used OTT apps, make it a good pick among affordable 4K smart television segment.


Not too long ago, it had begun to be perceived by many, especially the younger lot, as a piece of useless article hanging idly on the wall. But now, televisions are back to being a favourite in most households, thanks to ‘smart’ abilities like support for streaming app content in newer models. Available in all shapes and sizes, the new breed of smart televisions are intuitive, flexible and addictive. While most smart televisions offer similar utilities, there are some that take the experience a notch above. The VU Premium Android TV is the latter type.

The Vu Premium Android TV comes in 43-inch, 50-inch and 55-inch screen sizes. The 55-inch model, which we have reviewed, is priced at Rs 31,999. At this price, it is one of the most affordable 55-inch smart televisions currently available in India. It is also a decently built television for its size – it neither has big bezels around the screen nor does it protrude too much at the back. The television’s slim profile makes it convenient to mount on the wall without wasting much of your room space. However, it is not easy to access ports once the TV is mounted on the wall. So, it is helps to connect all accessories before mounting. For ease of use, you can also put it on a table top, but you will need a wide table for that, as its legs fit on extreme ends at the bottom side of the television.

The VU Premium Android TV is easy to set up and there are two ways to do it – through a smartphone or directly through television. Using a smartphone minimises the set-up time, if you have a Google account, as the television syncs the information from your account. You will need to approve the request by entering a code that appears on your smartphone. The set-up process takes a few more steps if you decide to go ahead without using the smartphone.
