Videocon launched its first 4K UHD TV series in Mumbai today, featuring models having sizes going from 40-inches all the way to 85-inches. The TVs are LED backlit LCD TVs and come with a host of features, which we will enumerate below. On the pricing front, the base 40-inch model is pegged at Rs 91,000, whereas the flagship 85-inch one will set you back by Rs 9,90,000. Apart from these two sizes, you have the 50-inch, 55-inch and 65-inch models as well.

 

The 4K UHD TVs come with a native resolution of 3840×2160 pixels. All the models support 3D viewing and Videocon has bundled four active-shutter glasses along with the TVs. Each TV has a 1MP webcam atop the bezel. Apart from this, the TVs have a host of features such as motion-sensor gaming, voice control, face recognition, gesture control, MHL support, Intel WiDi, USB 3.0 support, screen-mirroring, 3D gaming and so on. Each TV also comes with a dedictated gamepad to play games on the TV.

 

Videocon has used a customised version of Android as its operating system. It comes with a smart remote control as well which has very few buttons and a large track pad. Videocon has its own app store from where you can download content. Games such as Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Riptide come pre-loaded on the TV.

With sales starting shortly, Videocon is planning a 360 degree advertising campaign and hope to sell a lot of 4K TVs around the upcoming festive season. But without native 4K content available, it will be tricky situation. Videocon did not mention about any partnership with local TV channels to come out with 4K feeds. Videocon has in the past announced a 4K UHD set top box. Even TataSky had shown off a UHD 4K set top box last month, which it expects to launch in January next year.

 

Let us look at the Videocon 4K UHD TVs more closely below.

 

 

While 4K content is still at a very nascent stage, this could change by next year as more mainstream digital providers move on to the post-HD world. However, it remains to be seen whether Videocon as a brand can withstand competition from more seasoned companies like LG, Sony and Samsung in the 4K TV segment.
