Hi!
I am using K2A 55" since past more than 2 months and am quite satisfied. I am facing an issue of WiFi disconnection on TV after every 15-20 minutes since I bought the TV. I have to reconnect every time.
My WiFi works without any issue for all other 10-12 devices at home.
Can someone help?

I brought Iffalcon 55 inch TV from Flipkart. I am facing a strange problem. The TV doesnt switch on and boot into android. A blank screen appears despite pressing manual buttons at the bottom- nothing happens. The tv IS SIMPLY NOT TURNING ON. When I call the toll free number- I hear only one voice- your call cannot be connected. 99.30- 9.30 in the night). I seriously doubt whether there is any toll free number working. I escalated the matter with Flipkart- but there is no response from them either. Can any one kindly help? Your answer, particulary troubleshooting is greatly aprreciated.

Great review. I am thinking of getting this TV but Amazon Prime video is important to me. In the following video, someone is running Amazon Prime Video on this same TV. He has also provided the link in the video description, to download the version he uses. Could you please try and see if Amazon Prime Video works for you?

it works if you sideload.. i believe in this post also i confirmed. However since I have a desktop plugged into my TV..I dont use any of the smart features..just not worth it... no roku/chormecast/android box comes close to a computer. Of course not eveyrone likes PC in their HT setup....i have tried everything and have gone back to my PC connected to HT

Dear All,
For watching Amazon Prime on Iffalcon TV, most of the users download prime video app and install thru side load. But many times it may not work.
The perfect solution is, look for Prime video for Android TV app and download the apk from other source and try. You will have a different experience with various options, like formatting subtitles etc.

I am not sure if all versions of Amazon Prime Video TV app work on all TVs. I have read that only those developed specifically for Nvidia Sheild TV box work on official Android TVs.
BTW has anyone here tried playing this video to check if it's an 8 bit or 10 bit panel?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B68jIlCvW85gWFp0NVUwTFdTNFE/view?usp=drivesdk
Apparently if it's an 8 bit panel, the stripes or banding will be seen on the whole screen while if it's a 10 bit panel, the banding or stripes will be seen on only half the screen.
I was using prime video apk version 4.2, was running fine, but then I updated it to 4.7 and now when I play videos, TV reboots after playing for 1-2 min, sometimes it works for 10-15 min then reboots. And TV reboots everything when it reaches that specific time. I uninstalled and v4.7 and installed v4.2 again but no luck.. it behaves same now..
I tried clearing the "Data" & "Cash" from app manager but no luck, still same.
Any suggestion?
I did a full reset of the TV and re-installed prime video app, the trailers play fine but as soon as I play full movie, TV reboots in 3-5 minutes. any help would be highly appreciated..

Only Dolby 5.1 gets routed through ARC or SPDIF. If you need DTS to be passthrough, it should be connected to AV reciever directly

But AV receiver wont play movies via pen drives no? or may be I got your message wrong.

What I meant is that DTS never gets passthrough via HDMI ARC. So I'd you want to get DTS, you need to have a media player connected to AVR which will passthrough DTS.
Was that clear or did I complicate you again?
Basically, you need an Android box with Kodi or HTPC connected to the AVR to get any surround format other that Dolby digital.

ok thanks. I already have a desktop connected to my TV via receiver but I dont get 5.1 either on Netflix or Amazon- maybe some hdcp issue or something...thats why i wanted to directly play it on the TV and route audio to my receiver. my receiver doesnt have ARC and hence was using toslink..as long as we have torrent sites and broadband is cheap...I dont mind downloading and playing on my desktop to get 5.1...given i am paying netflix or amazon money to play the same movie..guess in this case using torrents doesnt amount to piracy 
I compared the video of padmavati between Amazon Video and a torrent download.....torrent was better and audio of course was not even comparable
I compared the video of padmavati between Amazon Video and a torrent download.....torrent was better and audio of course was not even comparableHey guys, I bought VU Pixelight HDR 55" model LTDN55XT780XWAU3D, I was not lucky enough to get IFFalcon ;P .
I may sound like VU Fanboy but trust me i'm not . I did in depth testing if you keep reading this, you will know.
If you guys are not able to buy IFFalcon then you can go with what i bought. No Offence to TCL Fans here.
I reccomend to buy pixellight version with a good android TV box for best experience. and trust me it will not cost u any extra with a TV Box, but same as Mi or TCL current prices. I will explain prices in the end.
I recommend not buy 55SU134 Model which is vu 's current flagship android based TV, not pixellight version, It's a bad Pick for it's price(50-60K INR) and does not have HDR nor good picture quality,
I have connected my Tv to PC and android TV Box.
(LTDN55XT780XWAU3D ) comes with Opera Tv OS, which is kind'a gimpy, so i bought a good android TV box MeCool M8S Pro L.
It shows supported color spaces :
YCbCr 4:4:4 8-Bit (Same as RGB)
YCbCr 4:2:0 10-Bit (Good for HDR)
YCbCr 4:2:0 12-Bit (Best for HDR , heavy load on HDMI so better use good quality very short cable ~1m for this as default setting.)
RGB ---- 8-Bit RGB (Only for Youtube because all videos on youtube are RGB only. )
YCbCr 4:2:2 12-bit [PC only] [HDR not supported in this mode via PC]
YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit [PC only] [HDR not supported in this mode via PC]
*See R G B does not have Luma only has Chroma.
HDR on PC:
My PC was able to do HDR in RGB mode only, but colors are lost due to 8-Bit.
Windows has really bad HDR support so i recommend not to play HDR videos from PC, may be nvidia 10XX+ or 20XX+ series GPUs will have better support for HDR. Let PC be the gaming Monster only.
HDR on TV box:
Tv box supported HDR in all color spaces. Also it's worth mentioning that TV Box shows Dolby vision toggle not HDR toggle options like HDR to SDR or SDR to HDR. It should be due to 12 bit support Yay!!.
Or it could be a Gimmik ? You guys suggest ?
I have tested 4K 10-Bit HDR Videos nearly 10-15 videos upto 40GB both native .ts and compressed .x264 | .x265 formats, it runs it fine and better on TV box than on native TV player, but at times has to set brightness and contrast accordingly for compressed formats.
HDR videos on Youtube, Netflix and on .ts formats runs just fine as it is, no settings for picture was needed.
Some how they are well optimized and runs good with default settings.
HDR on Native TV Player:
Only One problem i notice that happened repeatedly was:
White color Light Bleed when Images have too much light source in action in one area but this was not found when Playing from TV Box, so it's not a big issue when you have a TV box. It has to be native Player issue.
Gaming:
I recommend not to game too much on TV boxes and on Built in Android OS on TVs (Except if u have an nvidia shield TV).
Because nvidia shield has cooling system that ensures safe tempratures 60-70' C Max and no other Tv or TV box has built in cooling system so it will heat up on gaming and reduce overall motherboard life span specially if u have Android in Build like IFFalcon..
On PC i have a GTX 970 (1080@60FPS ), Trust me this TV has very less input lag. I do mean for FPS games as well. i tested Battlefield 1 on this and it ran with no input lag that i can measure. It is simply because it's VA panel. I general VA Panels has lesser input lag. So do mind if u have IPS panel like MI TV 4. I don't know for IFfalcon ? You guys are to judge this?.
Duly note that RGB option on this TV has only 8-bit color space so i better switch to YCbCr 10 /12 bit works better on PC, as well as on TV Box Noticeable color depth enhancement is easily visible. Tv itsel has no color space option though. I wonder which brand TV has ?
I would like to know what are the color spaces IFFalcon supports ?.
Big Question: Finally the Price ? With added cost of TV box you guys may think it's more expensive right ?
Answer: Yes and No , if you are smart enough to catch deals on on internet and know how to do online shopping.
It costs me : Rupees 46500 /- for both TV and TV box. See it's same as price of iFFalcon and only 1k greater than MiTV4
Cost Break down:
55" 4k Picxellight HDR TV : 42320 (Summer Sale on PayTm)
Meecol M8S Pro L 3GB/32GB : 4100 (Flash Sale on Gearbest [email protected] INR)
Total: 46420
How i bought TV:
Instead from flipkart (Rs 49990) I bought from PayTm.
I know fake sellers sell refurbished item on PayTm, But if you buy from Brand as Seller it self then you need not to worry, always check for seller on PayTm. E.g. If seller name is like : SUPER IT MALL or Just Name then it's fishy.
But if Vu or Brand is the seller itself then no worries.
I kept product in kart and I waited for sale event, to get maximum cashback as normally it is 10% to 13%,
On Summer sale events it rises even further for all products and i luckily got 17% cashback which is 8500 of 50400 quoted price.
So cost to me was : 42K and not 50K.
PayTm guys did removed this TV from their site and put crappy iconium TVs (2015 models) just before summer sale. But i was having this(2017) model on my kart so i was able to navigate to it and applied the summer sale cashback of 17% instead of 13%. It was mid of July 2018. now In August 2018 this has quoted price of 54000 and cashback is upto 13%.
How i bought TV Box Mecool M8S Pro L 32Gb 3Gb variant:
Buying TV box was not a piece of cake, Flash sales were on their way on gear best. andby skill i got it for (65$) just a week before dollar shoots 70 INR mark. Now Its 80 -90 $.
Meecol M8S Pro L : Except Nvidia shield TV This Tv Box beats Every Android Tv or Tv Box in market.
It was priced accordingly 85 sshh dollars.
It was not luck that i got it for 65$. It's demand-supply thing i was able to apply.
I was tracking this since July and NetFlix bug appeared, that broke netflix on this device.
I dig into it and found out Netflix guys are not going to fix this they intentionally did this, instead mecool guys were working on some unofficial patch as work around. Breaking of Netflix appeared to be a major downfall for this device. Situation goes viral and by the time demand decreases for this device and prices went down immediately due high stocks available in flash sales.
I saw it's price coming down from 85 to 65sshh dollars in just 2 days after netflix issue goes viral.
Even knowing netflix is not working i bought this at 65$. I keow meecol guys will not let down it's customer any ways.
I got this device on 8 Aug and on 17 Aug i got the patch fix and Netflix started working. yaay!!. And agian price went up from 65 to 85-90$

ok thanks. I already have a desktop connected to my TV via receiver but I dont get 5.1 either on Netflix or Amazon- maybe some hdcp issue or something...thats why i wanted to directly play it on the TV and route audio to my receiver. my receiver doesnt have ARC and hence was using toslink..as long as we have torrent sites and broadband is cheap...I dont mind downloading and playing on my desktop to get 5.1...given i am paying netflix or amazon money to play the same movie..guess in this case using torrents doesnt amount to piracy
Are you sure that you bitstream from your HTPC? If its not the case, you would get only stereo out over the HDMI.
Hi. Have you checked is it 8bit or 10 bit panel?
