Best led TV under 15000 in India

₹15,000 is the most competitive and budget-friendly range to buy a TV in India

In this post, I have compiled a list of best LED TVs under 15000.

All the TVs in the list are the latest models available in the market

What to expect in 15000 budget

There are two options either buy a TV from Chinese, Indian brands or top-class brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, etc

If you go with top-class brands the TV they offer may not be an Android TV or even a non-smart TV in this budget. If you want a smart TV from top-class brands then increase your budget substantially

If you go with Chinese or Indian brands you will get Android OS in every model but the picture quality, panel quality, durability may not be as good as provided by the top brands.

Being an Android TV you get access to google PlayStore and tons of apps. And of course, you will get netflix, prime, youtube, etc 

Many Chinese brands have invaded the Indian market with low-quality products. Many users have complained about the quality, durability, and after-sales service of them.

Be it any brand you will get a 32-inch screen with HD Ready resolution for your budget in most TVs available in India.

So choose wisely !!!

Quick Buying Guide For a TV with Budget 15k

Choose the Panel – The most important aspect of a TV is its picture quality and type of panel it uses.

There are only two types of panels available in this budget – VA panel & IPS panel.

Both are good in different ways.

The VA panel offers a higher contrast ratio which makes it ideal for watching movies in dark lighting. 

While an IPS panel offers greater viewing angles which makes it best to use in a room where the whole family can enjoy TV shows or serials..

Check connectivity – All smart TVs come with Wi-Fi but not always with a Bluetooth in it. So check the specs properly.

In the case of an Android TV, both will be present always.

In the case of a non-smart TV, both may not be present.

Check for HDMI ports – HDMI ports will be used to connect your set-top box, blu-ray player, gaming consoles, etc.

To connect these simultaneously you need more HDMI ports. 

3 HDMI ports are optimum to look for a TV.

The number of HDMI ports depends on your requirements.

Android or Non-Android TV – Not all smart TVs are Android, a key difference between them is an Android TV will have a greater number of apps while a Non-Android TV will have a limited number of apps.

To know more about them, click here

Audio will not be very loud – Most of the TV in this budget will have max audio power of 20W which is not always loud (varies from device to device).

So look for external speakers, home theatre or a soundbar.

Technology is changing fast – Technology is advancing at a very rapid pace. The latest devices coming nowadays will become obsolete in a few years(depending on the device) with smartphones changing the fastest.

So invest in a better TV with the latest tech, this will also cost higher than your budget of 15k.
