Yes. There is no official Support for Philips AV in India. You will be stuck with a lemon if it were to fail. Their cheaper displays are horrible too.Is there a catch?
Sir, can you please tell me the source of your information as you had posted the same in another thread as well. On their website they list enough retailers and service centres for their TVs and I was able to connect to their customer car within minutes as well. I could have bought an equivalent LG TV for just 3k more, but I chose Philips because of longer warranty and also because more than a few people on this forum were very happy with their picture quality at that price point. Although, I don't really care for the smart features, but the fact that the model I chose, comes with Android TV 9 instead of LG WebOS, is also a plus point in my books and even the processor is better.Yes.

I struggle to wonder why anyone would buy a Philips when LG India have 4K 50" TV's for <55k INR. This is their web price, which means you can get it cheaper at the dealer.

I am really sorry Bro! I can't help you if you don't stay up to date on things.Bro !!!why ? Always negative advice without any facts..
Hey man, not really sure if I'll be helpful here. I personally don't think there's any point in buying a TV without a good contrast ratio or local dimming, so I generally don't advise people looking for a cheap TV.So much misinformation being peddled here, Phillips TVs have good picture quality, much better than the trash LG IPS panels. Hope @BLASTO and @lightgamer post in this thread.
mobile companies rebranding Chinese TVs.nokia ,moto, oneplus,realme ,Flipkart using brand value .its better to purchase Vu, hisenceI purchased my first LCD Tv back in 2005 The brand name was Syntax a Taiwan company, it came with LG IPS panel. It still works well as of today with no panel discoloration or dead pixels.
Most electronics manufacturing companies these days are just rebrand of generic designs.
The best example is IBM Lenovo where a parent company sells off a division and branding rights to a 3rd party.
Companies like Philips, Westinghouse, Sanyo, RCA, Thompson, etc.. fall into this bucket.
Hardly a couple of them make their own design and sometimes get it contract manufactured just like apple.
Ex: Samsung,Sony,Sharp,LG
It is the design and Model that matters more than the brand. Top tier brand can have longer lifespan.
Of course, the common public does not have the time or inclination to dig deep and research the truth they go by mere hearsay. Often the word of the salesperson is taken for granted and gets circulated like the gospel.
If one is looking for budget models better go for brands like MI or Vue at least they don’t sound pretentious and try to fool the gullible public to a huge extent.
Its different if you live abroad. In India, I would not touch anything Philips makes other than their medical and Lighting equipment.
However right now TVs made under the Philips brand are mostly junk.
Even if a TV is not made in China, most of its parts today are Chinese, Korean or Taiwanese. Many high quality TVs are made by the Chinese ( check the following link ).Philips has sold off its television business to a Chinese company called TP Vision. They currently have no connection with the parent company other than brand name.
I am pretty sure that everyone on this forum had several Philips products in use at home at some point in time. There was a time they made great AV equipment and appliances. I had everything from their TV's, water purifier, vacuum cleaner, rice cooker and a Kettle. In fact, the last 3 are still in use. Hi Fi, I gave up when I realized the best they could come up with was a useless Power House series. I enjoyed the Monster Micro system and thats where it ended.I've been using several products made by PHILIPS viz DVD Players, LED TV, headphones and even an analog radio (model no.: RL118). All these yield fantastic performance.
