I had recently purchased a Vu 140cm (55 inch) Ultra HD (4K) LED Smart TV (LTDN55XT780XWAU3D_HDR) from Flipkart.

Looks : The TV looks nice. Nothing to brag about but not bad.

Picture Quality : The picture quality is excellent for UHD content. Colors are really punchy and lifelike. HD TV channels look great. Even SD channels look reasonably good. The TV does a reasonably good job of upscaling HD and SD content. HDR works but comparing UHD content vs UHD+HDR content is kind of difficult. The TV does recognize and play HDR. The TV is really bright and black levels are good.

Audio Quality : The audio quality is better than many LED's out there. The speakers are facing backwards instead of downwards so wall mounting doesn't impact the audio too much.

Smart Functions : YouTube and netflix work well. The remote has dedicated buttons for both. The cast functionality works. Other smart features are mostly non existent. Plex requires you to setup another device with plex server. No Kodi or Amazon Video available.

CEC : The function works well. I am able to control xbox and nvidia shield using CEC via the TV remote.

Port accessibility : All of the ports are accessible after wall mount. I could plug in a SPDIF post wall mount pretty easily. And this port is on the back of the TV. The ports on the side are really easy to reach even after wall mounting.

Playback through USB device : The TV pretty much plays all formats that are thrown at it without breaking a sweat. Playback works flawlessly. There was one case where there was no audio but even my shield couldn't decode the audio on that one so I'll not complain.

The picture quality is at par with the Samsung and the Sony's the only drawback is the Opera OS that's pretty much useless but YouTube and Netflix are a saving grace. Smartness wasn't much of a consideration for me anyways because I already have the Nvidia Shield.
The only real contender that I see to this TV are the Iffalcon and the MI TV. Both of which are pretty difficult to grab as on date. I have no way to compare my purchase to any of them. So far so good.

Can't think of anything else to add. Do let me know if you have any questions that I can check out for you.

A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
