Coming to the features of the Smart TVs, the resolution of the 4K panels is 3840 x 2160 pixels. However, none of these TVs has support for HDR though, in which the Xiaomi Mi LED TV 4 has the upper hand. However, Vu says that these panels offers display features such as dynamic contrast, high bright mode, pixel mapping and a wide viewing angle. Also, they come with 20W (10W x 2) speakers. And they even have support for Dolby and DTS TruSound.
Technical specifications in all the Smart TVs include a quad-core processor, 2.5GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage to store files on the TV.
As mentioned above, the Vu ActiVoice lineup runs stock Android 7.0 Nougat operating system and comes preinstalled with all the applications such as YouTube, Facebook Video, Sony Liv, ALT Balaji, Netflix, etc. Devita Saraf, Vu TV CEO, at the launch event, said that Xiaomi’s Mi TV 4 is not a Smart TV because it lacks Netflix support. Furthermore, she added that Xiaomi is not going to be a competition to Vu, and she even quoted that Xiaomi will take away market share from brands such as Micromax and not from them or Samsung or Sony.
