ONE PLUS TV U1S ( 65 INCH )

The U1S is an extension to the previous generation of the OnePlus U1 Series telly and it aims to build atop this midrange series whilst squeezing in more features and robust connections for a smarter experience.

Similar to OnePlus T smartphones, the S badge on the U1 Series signifies a bunch of fresh updates to the existing value. And this time there are three sizes to go around for everyone’s pocket strength and viewing pleasure.

This 65in behemoth costs₹62,999 and for the same price and size, you may not be able to haggle a Sony or an LG. So does it tick the so-called budget badge of approval? Maybe. Although, the 55 incomes at a tempting₹47,999 and the only compromise you make is the screen real estate and two speaker units. It doesn’t have Dolby Vision and Dolby Audio but that’s fine because it does support HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG. The colour accuracy is also quite good. It’s not perfect but it’s passable as far as budget tellies are concerned. It’s a telly fit for the latest 4K and HDR content on Netflix and other streaming services. And yes, if you want that 65in pixel canvas without breaking the bank.
