Realme has launched its latest smart TV champ: Realme Smart SLED TV. The new smart TV is 55-inches in size. Realme’s latest smart TV is being claimed to be the world’s first SLED 4K TV that is designed to bring a flagship-level cinematic experience. The Realme Smart SLED TV 55-inch flaunts a “bezel-less, metal design” in that it offers a thin bezel of 9.5mm. The smart TV features the SLED panel which has been co-developed by Realme and the chief scientist of the SPD technology John Rooymans. The price of the Realme Smart SLED TV is set at Rs. 42,999, though the TV will be available at an introductory price of Rs. 39,999 during its first sale. There is also the Realme 100W soundbar which has been launched by Realme alongside the smart TV. The soundbar is the first from Realme in the market and comes with a 40W subwoofer and includes 60W full-range speakers.

The smart TV runs on Android 9 Pie and features a Cinematic Display that offers 4K Ultra HD resolution along with 1.7 billion colours. The screen-to-body ratio of the proprietary display panel is 94.6 percent. The Realme Smart SLED TV also claims to deliver an NTSC colour gamut of up to 108 percent. The SLED panel employs an SPD backlight with RGB LED lights at the back which enables the display to produce the higher colour gamut, which is claimed to be similar to what you’ll get on a QLED panel. This is also unlike a traditional LED panel that uses a single white backlight that goes to the RGB filters.

The Realme Smart SLED TV 55-inch comes powered by a quad-core MediaTek SoC that has a 1.2GHz Cortex-A55 CPU, paired with Mali-470 MP3 GPU and 16GB of onboard storage. With MediaTek performance reliability is pretty much guaranteed and their smart TV chips have been top-tier. The Realme Smart SLED TV also includes a 24W quad stereo speaker system along with Dolby Audio technology.

Realme has also given a native colour tuning on the Smart SLED TV that works alongside the built-in Chroma Boost Picture Engine to optimise colour production. The smart TV also comes with seven display modes which are called Standard, Sport, Game, Vivid, Energy Saving, User, and Movie. The TV has TUV Rheinland certification for low blue light emission.

Apart from all these features, the Realme Smart SLED TV 55-inch also comes with Google Assistant support. The Realme Smart SLED TV comes with connectivity options that include three HDMI ports, two USB ports, one AV out, one Ethernet port, and a headphone jack. The TV also has Bluetooth v5.0 and Infrared as well as dual-band Wi-Fi support on the part of wireless connectivity. Additionally, Realme has provided us with a smart remote that sports dedicated hotkeys to access Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and YouTube.
