Lumio Smart TVs Launch to Tackle Slow TV Epidemic in India
Circuit House Technologies, the innovative tech startup behind Lumio, has officially unveiled its initial series of Smart TVs, the Vision 7 and Vision 9. These new models are specifically designed to counteract what the company refers to as the “slow TV epidemic” that affects numerous households in India.
Raghu Reddy, the CEO of Circuit House Technologies, stated that they have engineered the quickest TVs in India to conclusively address the Slow TV epidemic. He emphasised that the aim is straightforward: technology should instil happiness. With the Lumio Vision 9 and Vision 7 series, the goal is to provide exceptional speed, top-tier picture quality, and superior sound, ensuring an enjoyable entertainment experience for Indian users.
Understanding the Slow TV Epidemic
The company’s market analysis reveals a recurring challenge with sluggish performance in current Smart TVs, despite the sale of over 60 million units in India in the last eight years.
Two Premium Ranges with Unmatched Speed
Lumio’s latest collection features the Vision 9, a 55-inch QD-Mini LED TV delivering an impressive 900 nits brightness, and the Vision 7, a QLED series available in sizes of 43, 50, and 55 inches. Both models utilise the in-house developed Flagship Boss Processor, complemented by 3GB RAM and what is referred to as a “DOPE Display” engine. This technology aims to facilitate rapid navigation, vibrant colours, and almost instantaneous responses.
The Vision 9 showcases 1,920 mini-LEDs enhanced with a quantum dot layer, while the Vision 7 boasts a DCI-P3 colour gamut of up to 114%, exhibiting colour accuracy with a Delta E as low as 1.08.
Features that Enhance Entertainment
Both TV series come equipped with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, alongside quad-speaker systems. They also support Google TV, Google Cast, and feature a TLDR app designed for sports and music enthusiasts. Moreover, customers will receive a distinctive ‘Minion Remote’ that incorporates a quick access key for enhanced TLDR functionality.
