Diwali Buying Guide: Best OLED TVs you can buy in India in 2024

Depending on your budget, get yourself one of these OLED TVs

Sure, you can buy a plain old LED TV, maybe even step up slightly to quantum-dot LED TVs if you want a bit more. However, if you want the premium television experience at home - and have the content and streaming subscriptions to make the most of it - then you’ll want to look at OLED TV options. These are typically priced at a significant premium over LED TVs, but think of this as an investment in your happiness at home, and also how you might not mind giving the multiplex a skip once in a while.

OLED televisions are known for their superior contrast and black levels, thanks to the core technology which lets each individual pixel shut off to full black when needed. Lets not get too deep into the technical details right now, but it’s safe to say that you’ll naturally see the difference in the picture quality when you step up to an OLED TV. If you’re planning to buy a new television this festive season, take a look at our recommendations of the best OLED TVs that you can buy right now.

Sony Bravia 8

Sony has a wide variety of televisions covering different display tech, ranging from LED in the budget segment to mini-LED and OLED in the high-end ranges. If you’re shopping for an OLED TV, the Sony Bravia 8 is part of Sony’s new re-branded lineup for 2024. The TV is priced at Rs. 1,89,190 for the 55-inch option, and there’s also a 65-inch size option on offer.

The Sony Bravia 8 has an Ultra-HD (3840x2160-pixel) OLED screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz, and supports HDR formats up to Dolby Vision. Under the hood, you get the Google TV UI based on Android TV, which gives you access to all the key apps and streaming services for smart TVs.

LG evo C4

LG evo C4

While other brands are sticking to limited approaches to OLED TVs, LG has gone all in with multiple product lines covering different price points. It’s made LG one of the market leaders in the OLED space, and the LG evo C4 is among the best picks in the lineup. Prices start at Rs. 1,10,391 for the 42-inch variant, and go up depending on the size you pick.

It strikes a decent balance between performance and price (with a fair bias towards the performance side of things), making it a great television for anyone looking at a very good option for their living room. The LG C4 comes in various size options ranging from 42 inches to 83 inches, with Ultra-HD OLED screens on all size variants. It also features the webOS smart TV platform, and the Alpha 9 (Gen 7) 4K image processor.

LG OLED B3

While the LG OLED B4 is newer, the OLED B3 isn’t too far behind, and will be available for a fair bit less money given that it’s an older model. Priced at around Rs. 1,15,000 for the 55-inch variant, the B3 is a well-priced option which ticks most of the requirements, including a fairly bright screen, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.

You do of course get an Ultra-HD (3840x2160-pixel) screen, the Alpha 8 picture processor, and a 20W built-in speaker system. The high refresh rate means it’s ready for console gaming, and you can choose between three screen sizes - 55-inch, 65-inch, and 77-inch. It’s a decent option that you can consider if you don’t want to go with the higher budget that the C4 requires.

Xiaomi OLED Vision

Xiaomi OLED Vision TV

The Xiaomi OLED Vision TV has been around a while, but it’s still a decent pick even in 2024. Now priced at Rs. 65,999, it’s probably the most affordable OLED TV you can buy right now in India. You only get it in a single 55-inch size option, and the refresh rate is limited to 60Hz, so it may not be ideal for use with current-generation gaming consoles.

That said, it’s an Ultra-HD (3840x2160-pixel) OLED TV like every other in this list, and gets support for Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Atmos formats, and a 30W speaker system. Like most Xiaomi televisions, you get the Android TV operating system, along with the PatchWall UI on top. Get this if you want the benefits of OLED without having to spend too much.
