Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still need a set-top box with a smart TV?
For OTT streaming, no. But for watching live Indian TV channels via cable or DTH, you still need a set-top box unless the TV includes a built-in DTH tuner.
What is the ideal screen size for a living room?
The general rule is viewing distance (in feet) × 8 = ideal screen size in inches. A 10-foot viewing distance suits a 55–65 inch TV.
Is OLED worth the price over QLED?
OLED offers superior contrast and viewing angles, but QLED is brighter in well-lit rooms. For most Indian homes with large windows, QLED provides excellent value.
