Shinco 65-inch 4K TV review: Brilliant display and rocking audio

A thin-screen TV in your living your room has snob value—if you can afford one. Noida-based Videotex International recently launched Shinco: a 65-inch LED TV for Rs 49,990. We take a look at how the fares in terms of viewing experience and quality.

Design and display : The TV has thin bezels but the slim panel and the plastic finish give it a cheap and flimsy look. The back and the right panel houses all the input ports and connectors. The ports are pretty standard: 3 HDMI, 2 USB, VGA, and a Rj45 port for internet connectivity. The simple and clutter-free design is something I liked the most, but this might not appeal to many.

For the price, the picture quality is great and there is no doubt about that. The clarity and colours that are produced on screen give you a brilliant viewing experience. I did not feel that any colour was too dominant and the colour balance was at par with higher range products. The viewing angles are not bad, either: I noticed minimal contrast degradation when viewing from extreme angles. However, the TV's processor stuttered a lot while playing 4K videos from the YouTube app present in the TV with the audio-video getting desychronised and even stopped at times.

The TV from Shinco amazed me with its sound output. The mids and highs were clear and the lows were belted out with great ease. The bass was also up to the mark and I rarely used my speakers while using the TV. While surround sound while watching movies is something that needs a 5.1 channel speaker's expertise, movie watching is not bad and infact upto the mark thanks to the 20W inbuilt speakers of the TV.
