If there’s one TV size that hits the sweet spot for most Indian homes, it’s 55 inches. Big enough to deliver a cinematic experience, yet compact enough to fit in typical living rooms without much hassle. And if you’re looking to upgrade your setup without breaking the bank, the midrange segment is where things get really interesting. In this list, we’ve handpicked some of the best 55-inch TVs you can buy right now based on specs and our personal experience.
Sony Bravia 3
Sony Bravia 3 (Review) is the high-end option on our list that balances pedigree with value. It runs on Google TV, has Sony’s usual clean UI and packs in a Direct LED panel with support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision. The standout, however, is the image processing. Sony’s processing engine does a solid job of upscaling content, reducing noise and managing motion. In well-lit rooms, the TV holds its own, though brightness could’ve been better. Sound is clear and dialogue-friendly, but you’ll still want a soundbar if you want fuller bass or immersive sound.
Lumio Vision 9 Mini LED TV
This is the dark horse of the list. Lumio might not be a household name just yet, but the Vision 9 (review) offers great value and several impressive features. It’s got a Mini LED QLED panel that gets more than 900 nits bright. The TV supports Dolby Vision and HDR10. You get vibrant, punchy visuals and a thoughtfully tuned movie mode. If you want bang for your buck and a panel that punches above its weight, Vision 9 is worth a look.
LG QNED83
LG QNED83 (review) combines Quantum Dot and NanoCell tech to deliver sharp, vibrant visuals. It’s an IPS-level panel, so viewing angles are great, and while it’s not the brightest in this list, it’s plenty usable in most living room conditions. You also get Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, along with LG’s WebOS, which is fast and easy to use. The real highlight is gaming. Thanks to HDMI 2.1 support, VRR, and ALLM, this TV is a solid pick for console users. There’s even 120Hz refresh rate support for smoother gameplay on supported titles. Add to that good colour accuracy and responsive UI, and you’ve got a very well-rounded TV.
Samsung QE1D
Samsung’s QE1D sits somewhere between budget and premium, and that’s exactly what makes it an interesting pick. It’s a 4K QLED TV that uses Samsung’s Quantum Dot tech to deliver rich colours and decent HDR performance. The panel itself isn’t the brightest or most contrast-rich in the QLED space, but it handles everyday content well. The Tizen OS provides access to all major OTT apps, and there’s support for Alexa and Google Assistant.
TCL C755
If you want features that typically belong in higher-end TV but at a more accessible price, TCL’s C755 is hard to beat. It’s got Mini LED backlighting, Full Array Local Dimming, and a QLED panel — all in a package that’s significantly more affordable than you’d expect. The C755 is one of the brightest TVs in this list, and HDR content really pops. Blacks are deeper than your average QLED TV thanks to the Mini LED tech, and contrast levels are impressive. Gamer-friendly features include 144Hz refresh rate support, VRR, and FreeSync Premium. The UI (Google TV) runs well, audio is decent with Dolby Atmos support, and the build quality feels solid.
