Realme Smart TV SLED 4K review: Pricier than LED smart TVs, but worth it

 

Chinese electronics maker Realme recently expanded its smart TV portfolio in India with the launch of the Realme Smart TV SLED 4K, a 55-inch model with a new breed of display technology (SLED) for improved viewing experience. Said to be better than conventional LED TVs, the Realme Smart TV SLED 4K promises enhanced contrast ratio, deep blacks, and a wide colour gamut.

But is SLED a real breakthrough in display technology or just another marketing gimmick? Let’s find out:

Design

The Realme Smart TV SLED 4K is a well-built television for its size – it neither has thick bezels around the screen nor does it protrude too much on the back. Its slim profile makes it convenient to mount on the wall. However, it is best for a table-top set-up as ports on the back are difficult to access in a wall-mount set-up. The TV comes with a premium-looking metal-made side legs for a table-top set-up. Unfortunately, the legs fit on extreme ends and require a wide table for setting up. A centre stand would have been a better choice for a table-top set-up.

Set-up

Based on the Google Android TV platform, the Realme Smart TV SLED 4K is easy to set up. All it requires is a Google account, a smartphone and wireless internet connectivity. You can link the TV with your Google account through Google Assistant. Once linked, the TV syncs account data with TV for set-up. Using a smartphone minimises the set-up time, if you have a Google account, as the television syncs the information from your account. You will need to approve the request by entering a code that appears on your smartphone. The set-up process takes a few more steps if you decide to go ahead without using the smartphone. You can also set the TV up without Google account but that will restrict its smart capabilities.
