In today’s market, there’s no shortage of smart, reliable, and large-screen TVs—especially in the sub-Rs 50,000 segment. However, many of these options tend to cut corners in one way or another. Some compromise on panel quality, others on colour accuracy or speaker performance. But perhaps the most common issue across the board is sluggish and inconsistent performance over a period of time. That’s precisely the gap Lumio, a brand under Circuit House Technologies, aims to address with its new lineup of smart TVs.

What Is Bad?
- Speakers need to separate instruments more profoundly
- Remote misses out on a customisable button
While Lumio may be a new name in the market, the team behind it brings years of industry experience from major players like Xiaomi, Flipkart, Lenovo, and more. Impressive credentials—but for the average buyer, what truly matters is how the TV performs, the quality it delivers, and whether it offers good value for money. Lumio has introduced three models in its debut lineup, and today, I’ll be reviewing the one that stands out the most—the Lumio Vision 7 55-inch QLED TV.
Pricing and Availability in India
Lumio has launched Vision 7 and Vision 9. The latter comes with a more premium price tag, and the Vision 7 comes with 43-inch, 50-inch, and 55-inch. The pricing across the board is very aggressive and undercuts a few options in the same segment. Here’s a quick look at them all.
| Variants | Price in India |
| Lumio Vision 7 43-inch | Rs 29,999 |
| Lumio Vision 7 50-inch | Rs 34,999 |
| Lumio Vision 7 55-inch (Reviewed) | Rs 39,999 |
Design and Build Quality
The Lumio Vision 7 does not do anything out of the ordinary in the design department. And that’s completely fine because it easily blends in with any kind of home setup. Painted in full black, with a very subtle Lumio branding at the bottom, the Vision 7 is made entirely out of plastic. This is to be expected in the price segment, and is in no way a dealbreaker. What Vision 7 does differently than some of the other TVs in this segment is the thin bezels on all sides, giving you more screen estate without any intrusions.
| Design | Specifications |
| Dimensions | 1.22mx9.3cmx71.1cm |
| Weight (w/o stands) | 12.1kg |
| Power consumption | 200W |
| Box contents | TV, stand, remote, batteries, and guide |
The installation process is also very straightforward. While a wall mounting kit is not included in the box, Lumio will send across installation folks who do carry the bracket upon request. As for the tabletop stands, they are included in the box. These are also made of plastic but can handle the weight of the TV easily.
| Ports |
| HDMI 2.1 x3 – (one supports eARC) |
| Optical port |
| LAN (Ethernet port) |
| USB 3.0, USB 2.0 |
The power port is on the right side of the TV, while all the I/O ports are on the left side. You get a good selection of ports with three HDMI 2.1 ports, one of which has support for eARC. What’s fascinating is that I didn’t find reaching the ports on the back a tedious task, something I faced with the Sony Bravia 2 which used the exact same wall mount.
That said, both the USB-A ports are aligned together, making it tougher to access if one is being used. Ideally, a different slot for the second USB port would have been the way to go, but this is a common occurrence in almost all the TVs I’ve tried, and that’s probably because the motherboard is printed in this way.
Display and Speaker Quality
The Lumio Vision 7 uses a QLED panel, also found on the Kodak Matrix QLED and JVC AI Vision we reviewed recently. But what sets Lumio apart from these brands is the colour tuning. Folks behind Lumio have come up with fun little names for their components, and the upscaling picture engine is called Dope Display — and for the price, I would actually agree with them.
| Display | Specs |
| Size | 55-inch (1.4m) |
| Type | QLED |
| Backlight Tech | Blue LED Backlight, Up to 66 LEDs |
| Picture engine | DOPE |
| Resolution | 3840 x 2160 (4K) |
| Refresh Rate | 60Hz |
| Viewing Angles | Up to 178 degrees |
| Brightness levels | Claimed: 400 nits, Tested: 325 nits |
| Colour Coverage | DCI-P3 – 107%, Rec.2020 – 78% |
| Claimed Delta E | 1.44 |
| Other features | Dolby Vision, HLG, HDR10, MEMC |
The QLED panel produces excellent colours combined with crisp visuals. It has great viewing angles, so even your friend sitting at the end of the couch will see what you are seeing. There’s no colour shifting as long as you are sitting at the advised distances, but at extreme angles, I’ve noticed the skin tones of human subjects shifting more towards red or pink. That said, these were noticeable at angles I would personally never sit to watch a TV.
The Vision 7’s panel is rated for 400 nits of peak brightness, and our tests returned 325 nits. The display’s coating seems to be using a mix of glossy and matte textures, so even if your TV is facing a tubelight or a window, the reflection gets diffused to quite an extent.
Lumio offers multiple presets such as Standard, Dynamic, Movie, ECO, Gentle, Vivid, Sport, Game, and Personal. I mostly stuck with Standard throughout my usage period, since Movie was a little too warm for me. I tried watching Real Madrid’s painful Champions League match against Arsenal on the Sport mode, but found myself switching back to Standard. The nitty-gritty of these presets can be tweaked as per your preference.
It has support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, something even the Sony Bravia 2 with a more premium price tag missed. Watching TV shows such as Severance, White Lotus, Ted Lasso, and more was an excellent experience. You get to switch between Dolby presets such as Dolby Vision Dark, Bright, and Game. Honestly, there’s no major visible difference between these three, so you are safe with any of the options. While the blacks are not very deep, darker scenes in Better Call Saul and The Batman appeared detailed, with more than enough detail to understand the situation. So, it’s safe to say that the Vision 7’s QLED panel can handle HDR content quite brilliantly.
More vibrant and punchy colours from shows such as Bojack Horseman appear vivid and full. This, compared to the panel on the Kodak CA Pro 65-inch, offers a more balanced approach, without overbroadening the spectrum of colours.
For the sound, the Vision 7 uses a 30W, quad driver speaker setup. It also gets Dolby Atmos support. The speakers get quite loud, even at about 30 per cent volume, with average bass. Dialogues in Ted Lasso are also articulated well, even when players are screaming for a pass in the background.
That said, when listening to music, the separation of the vocals and the instruments is not very profound, sounding almost like an echo effect. This was more evident in songs like Heat Waves. Overall, these speakers are more than good enough for movie watching sessions, and almost match the level of the display quality to give you a good immersive experience.
Performance, Software and Remote
Performance is where the Lumio Vision 7 has zero competition, except for, well, the Vision 9 itself. Lumio spoke about it being the fastest TV a million times in their briefings, and after trying the Vision 7, I finally understood why.
In typical Lumio fashion, they have named the processor Boss Flagship. A quick look into AIDA64 showed us 2x ARM Cortex A55 and Cortex A75. Compared to a Thomson QLED in the same price range, it uses 4x ARM Cortex-A53, which is slightly slower. But the processor alone is not to be awarded for the fast performance. Unlike other TVs in this segment, the Vision 7 comes with 3GB DDR4 RAM.
| Hardware | Specs |
| Processor | Boss Flagship ( 2x ARM Cortex A55 and 2x Cortex A75) |
| RAM | 3GB |
| Storage | 16GB |
| Software Version | Android 11 |
It uses Google TV and comes with Android Version 11 out of the box. The Vision 7 flies through the UI as if the display is running at a 120Hz refresh rate (but it’s not). I compared it to the above-mentioned Thomson TV, and the scrolling speed, boot speeds, and Netflix opening times had a major difference. That said, the Thomson unit is now two years old, so it’ll be interesting to see how the Lumio holds up over the years.
Lumio has also personalised the Vision series by including an app of their own — TLDR. This is mainly aimed at sports and music enthusiasts to stay updated on trending and live stuff. It shows match data for IPL, EPL, La Liga, and more. The app design is amazing, but it lacks customisation options. So, if I prefer to check up on Real Madrid scores only, it’ll ask me to go through multiple options before reaching the football scores page. Folks at Lumio tell me they have big plans for this app, so I’m hoping this is also on the cards, along with more options for content discovery.
Lumio calls its remote – Minion. That’s probably because of its compact nature. The remote is painted in grey and is quite ergonomic. It has all the necessary buttons, including a dedicated mute switch and OTT app hotkeys. It also has a TLDR hotkey to directly jump into the app. While all that is good, it lacks a customisable button, something I’m very used to with other TVs. This way, if a remote is missing a JioHotstar button, I can use the extra button as a macro.
Verdict
The Lumio TVs go on sale starting from April 23, 2025. At a price of Rs 39,999, the Vision 7 is a value-for-money option that does not cut too many corners. With new brands, people are usually sceptical about the service and after-sales. But Lumio sells the TV via Amazon and promises two years of warranty, with 300+ service centres covering more than 19,000 pin codes.
The Vision 7 has a lot of things going for it, like the impressive HDR performance, good display tuning, aggressive pricing, and more. But what stands out the most as of now is its fast and reliable performance.
While it’s tough to nitpick the cons of the TV, it could do better in the speakers department. Overall, it’s a good option if you want a TV that’s not too heavy on the wallet. As for alternatives, this segment is flooded with options from Xiaomi, TCL, Vu, Hisense, and more. But if you opt for them, you’ll be missing out on some speed, that’s for sure.
