Vu has introduced its latest product line, the Vu Masterpiece QLED TVs, in India. These QLED televisions are available in two sizes, 98-inch and 85-inch. Vu sees itself as being one of the prime players in the 50-inch and higher premium TV market in India, and says that it did not suffer through any downturn during the pandemic. The company claims that it expects 37% year-on-year growth in large screen TVs.
The Vu Masterpiece 98-inch TV is priced at 600,000 rupees ($7,310), while the smaller 85-inch variant comes with a price tag of 300,000 rupees ($3,660). Indian consumers can purchase these televisions on the Vu website and online store, as well as on Amazon India, which serves as the company’s primary online retail and logistics partner. Vu is offering a generous three-year warranty on both variants.
