I recently bought 55inch VU Masterpiece Frame TV IPS panel for around 47k and in just 5 days, there is a horizontal line in TV. So think twice if anyone considering this brand.

I have. Yes. But it just failed in 5 days usage. Which questions the reliability

@nsprakash19 Some units will always fail in any electronics brand in the initial stages. VU is among the better ones in the tier 2 segment.

I was initially considering buying a VU TV because it had impressive specifications like Google OS, over 2 GB of RAM, and support for almost all apps, along with a 5-year warranty—it seemed like a great deal! However, in the end, I opted for a Samsung LED TV instead, which has lower specs and a higher price tag. I chose Samsung because of its brand reputation and trustworthiness. The Samsung TV is working well for me and even came with a solar-powered Bluetooth remote. I’ve learned that sometimes it’s worth spending extra for a branded item, even if it has lower specs.

People praising VU TV here are mostly owning LCD TVs. Not the latest LED or QLEDs

I have VU, LG, Samsung, Mi, Iffalcon LED TV's. LG 32 inch & VU 39 inch non-smart  full HD TV panel went dead on 1 day before the extended warranty lapse date. VU replaced the TV with 40 inch smart 4K TV while LG replaced the screen. LG went bad again. This time the mother board. Donated it to the nearest TV repairer!!

So I think OP was unlucky. Vu is one of the better 'budget' brands and they have options to extend the warranty. Post sales service was very good. Comparable if not better than LG's and Samsung's of the world.

Edit : By the way, off late VU started using HiSense panels.

I have been using VU smart TV for over 5 years now, had no issues and still running strong.
Have recommended it to many of my friends and they also have been using it for 3-4 years with no complaints.

For the price point (~(20-22k) for 40inch smart TV), VU TVs are value for money.
