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.
