Solid Industrial components and glass epoxies are used to ensure the stability of every Vu TV.

Good Picture Quality

To review the performance we tested the TV with various Full HD movies, sound tracks etc and Vu puts on a decent show for itself. It may not have been able to compete with the televisions offering true black levels but the TV conveyed good black levels in most scenes. When given a completely dark scene it did not impressed us and lacked depth.

However when we fed the TV with 4K content, the picture quality increases and the TV pushed good black level and appreciable amount of depth in far away scenes. The color reproduction was also good and it is capable of delivering natural skin tones. Color uniformity was also good and when viewed off-axis color did not looked faded.

The sound produced by TV is decent and is best suited for dialogues, vocals, less complicated tracks and struggles with bass heavy music. When watching an action movie, there was good clarity in dialogues however the explosions and gun shots sounded thin and you may want to invest in some good speakers to live all the action. The TV has automatic volume leveler(AVL) feature that is used for Channel Sound Stabilization. Turning on the feature helps to avoid volume fluctuation when changing the channels. This prevents a dramatic increase or decrease of the decibel level of the audio from the TV speakers.
