Best 75″ 4K TVs in Nepal [Updated]

Big TVs make for a big TV-viewing experience. And here in Nepal, you can buy big 75″ TVs from different brands Samsung, Sony, LG, TCL, and more. Some of them are LED TVs while some of them come with a fancier QLED panel. So in this list, we have included the best 75″ 4K TV you can buy in Nepal right now.

Best 75″ 4K TV in Nepal:

7. TCL 75P635 4K Smart TV

Kicking off our list is the TCL 75P635 4K TV. Here, “P635″ is TCL’s 2022 lineup of entry-level 4K LED TVs, while the 75P635 is also the most affordable entry on our list of best 75″ 4K TV in Nepal. So if a big 75” TV is what you’re after without breaking the bank, then this could be a decent choice. Starting with the design, it features minimal bezels on all four sides except the chin for a clean look. TCL has also delivered a pretty slim design here as the back of the TV doesn’t stick out as much. Coming to the display, the 75P635 brings a 10-bit 4K LED panel for vivid colors and sharpness.

It features TCL’s “Dynamic Color Enhancement” algorithm to dynamically adjust colors, contrast, brightness, skin tone, and more to deliver excellent picture quality. While this TV doesn’t have dynamic HDR standards like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, TCL has tried to compensate for all that with its aforementioned picture adjustment algorithm; alongside HDR10 and micro dimming support. Audio-wise, this TV brings down-firing stereo speakers with 30W output. On the software front, the TCL 75P635 boots on Google TV, which enables features like Google Assistant, Chromecast, and more. And if you’d like you can even summon Amazon Alexa as your voice assistant here.

TCL 75P635 4K Smart TV Specifications:

  • Display: 75″ DLED panel, HDR10, Dynamic Color Enhancement, Micro Dimming, AIPQ 2.0
  • Resolution: 4K Ultra-HD (3840 x 2160 pixels)
  • Sound: 2x 15W output

  • Price in Nepal: Rs. 266,990 Rs. 212,790

6. LG 75UQ8050 4K Smart AI ThinQ TV

Like the TCL 75P635, the LG 75UQ8050 is also a 4K LED TV launched in 2022. It replaces last year’s UP8000 series and brings improvements in a couple of aspects like slightly slimmer build quality, a newer processor, newer software, and better color accuracy. It is powered by LG’s new Alpha 5 (α5) Gen5 AI Processor 4K which promises improved 4K upscaling, more refined picture tuning, and more. And the new webOS 22 software platform also introduces some new features, like multiple user profiles. With this, you can get personalized content recommendations on the TV’s homescreen.

And it also supports LG’s “Sports Alert” feature which sends match alerts and live match notifications so that you don’t miss out on the action of your favorite games. The LG 75UQ8050 isn’t compatible with HDR10+ or Dolby Vision content either, although it does support HDR10 Pro for nicer colors and contrast on supported content. LG has also loaded this thing with a bunch of gaming-centric features like low-latency mode, HGiG mode, and more; all of which can be accessed from inside the Game Dashboard. It comes with LG’s “AI Sound Pro” technology with a virtual 5.1.2 channel up-mix for an immersive audio experience.

LG 75UQ8050 4K AI ThinQ Smart TV Specifications:

  • Display: 75″, HDR10 Pro, HLG Pro, 4K upscaling

  • Price in Nepal: Rs. 356,290 Rs. 295,790

5. Sony KD-75X80J 4K TV

Coming in at number 5 on our list of best 75″ 4K TV in Nepal is the Sony KD-75X80J. This is from Sony’s 2021 lineup of 4K TVs but since the newer “X80K” series doesn’t really bring any notable upgrade (and the fact that Sony hasn’t launched the 75″ model of the X80K lineup in Nepal), this is still a viable choice. The 75X80J uses a direct LED-lit panel with frame dimming for dynamic colors, contrast, and brightness levels depending on the content. It’s not the most elegant form of local dimming technology, but it’s still better than nothing. Besides this, this Sony TV also uses the TRILUMINOS PRO color engine for vivid everything. Including contrast, color accuracy, and more.

Sony KD-75X80J TV - Display

And making it all possible is Sony’s custom 4K HDR Processor X1. It also lets you enjoy high-fidelity Dolby Vision HDR videos, alongside Dolby Atmos surround sound. While this TV has a native 50Hz refresh rate, it supports Motionflow XR 200 to simulate a smoother display. As a result, you can enjoy fast-paced content like sports and gaming without worrying about motion blur and such. And to make your gaming experience even more enjoyable, Sony has given a total of four HDMI 2.1 ports here. So you can connect your gaming PC or console to this TV and get minimal input lag, low latency, and more.

Sony KD-75X80J 4K Smart TV Specifications:

  • Display: 75″ DLED panel, TRILUMINOS PRO, X1 4K HDR Processor, Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, Motionflow XR 240
  • Resolution: 4K Ultra-HD (3840 x 2160 pixels)
  • Sound: 2x 10W output
  • Audio Decoder: Dolby Audio, Dolby Atmos, Ambient Optimization
  • OS: Google TV
  • Processor: Unspecified
  • Memory: 2GB RAM, 16GB storage
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4x HDMI 2.1, 2x USB-A, 1x network (LAN), 1x Composite video in, 1x earphone out, 1x RF in, 1x Digital audio out
  • Price in Nepal: Rs. 360,000 Rs. 324,000

4. Skyworth 75SUE9500 4K QLED TV

So far, every entry on our list of best 75″ 4K TV in Nepal are LED TVs. But the Skyworth 75SUE9500 breaks this trend as it uses a QLED panel instead. In case you didn’t know, QLED TVs use an additional quantum dot layer in-between the blue backlight and the LCD layer used in traditional LED TVs. As a result, they are able to produce more accurate colors alongside higher levels of brightness as well. Skyworth says this TV covers 93% of the DCI-P3 gamut for excellent color reproduction, whereas it is also complemented by Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support for top-notch contrast levels too.

Skyworth 75SUE9500 (75) - Display

The design of this Skyworth TV is also quite nice. With slim bezels and a metal base instead of a regular leg stand, it certainly has a more pleasing visual aesthetics (if you don’t intend on wall mounting it, that is) compared to other TVs on our list so far. It also has fairly powerful 20W stereo speakers that can play Dolby Atmos surround sound. The 75SUE9500 runs on Google TV out of the box, although its UI/UX responsiveness could’ve been better. That’s because Skyworth’s “Chameleon Extreme 2.0″ quad-core processor only uses a rather old Cortex-A53 CPU. But then again, this is something you can easily solve by using an external streaming box anyway. Not to mention, the Skyworth 75SUE9500 is also the cheapest 75” QLED TV in Nepal so we can cut some slack in the performance department here.

Skyworth 75SUE9500 4K Smart TV Specifications:

  • Display: 75″ QLED panel, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 93% DCI-P3
  • Resolution: 4K Ultra-HD (3840 x 2160 pixels)
  • Sound: 2x 12W output
  • Audio Decoder: Dolby Atmos support
  • OS: Google TV
  • Processor: Chameleon Extreme 2.0, Quad-core (4x Cortex A53)
  • Memory: 2GB RAM, 16GB storage
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3x HDMI 2.0, 2x USB-A, 1x network (LAN), 1x AV in, 1x RF in, 1x Digital audio out
  • Price in Nepal: Rs. 325,000 Rs. 255,000

3. Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 75″ 4K QLED

Taking the bronze medal on our list of best 75″ 4K TV in Nepal is Xiaomi’s Mi TV Q1 (75). Like the Skyworth TV above, this is also a QLED TV which means you can expect superior colors and brightness over standard LED TVs. Xiaomi has also paired the Mi TV Q1’s QLED panel with a slew of high-end features to enhance the experience. First off, it has a 192-zone full-array local dimming to deliver an incredible 10,000:1 contrast ratio for darker darks and brighter whites. It also supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG standards. Xiaomi says this TV covers 100% NTSC and 95% DCI-P3 color space, while it also boasts 1000 nits of peak brightness.

Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 4K (75) - Display

Other than this, the Mi TV Q1 brags 120Hz refresh rate with MEMC too. So you get to enjoy smoother playback here without having to worry about juddery textures. Xiaomi could’ve won big points in terms of gaming as well, but that’s not the case here. It does have one HDMI 2.1 port, but it doesn’t support 4K 120Hz gaming. And neither does this TV support variable refresh rate (VRR) technology. Anyway, on the audio front, the Mi TV Q1 comes with a powerful 30W speakers consisting of two tweeters and four woofers. It runs on Android TV 10, and you can also summon Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa hands-free here.

Xiaomi Mi TV Q1 75″ QLED TV Specifications:

  • Display: 75″ QLED panel, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG, MEMC 120Hz
  • Resolution: 4K Ultra-HD (3840 x 2160 pixels)
  • Sound: 2x 15W output
  • Audio Decoder: Dolby Audio, DTS-HD
  • OS: Android TV 10
  • Processor: MediaTek MT9611 (Quad-core)
  • Memory: 2GB RAM, 32GB storage
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi (dual band), Bluetooth 5.0, 1x HDMI 2.1, 2x HDMI 2.0, 2x USB 2.0, 1x LAN, 1x RF in, 1x optical audio out, 1x AV in, 1x 3.5mm jack
  • Price in Nepal: Rs. 349,999 Rs. 299,999

2. Samsung QA75Q60B 4K QLED TV

Moving on, the new Samsung QA75Q60B takes the second spot on our list of best 75″ 4K TV in Nepal. Compared to 2021’s Q60A series, Samsung has introduced quite a few upgrades in the 2022 Q60B lineup. Starting with the design itself, this 4K QLED TV embodies the same AirSlim design, but it now has a more premium-looking metal base instead of a leg stand. As for the display, the QA75Q60B now supports Motion Rate 100 so that contents appear even smoother here. This is further complemented by features like Auto Low-Latency Mode (ALLM), ultrawide game view, Game Bar, and more to enrich your gaming experience.

Samsung QA75Q60B 4K QLED TV - Display

Software-wise, this TV runs on Samsung’s own Tizen OS platform. But apart from the default Bixby voice assistant, it also supports Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. And if you have compatible IoT devices in your home, like a refrigerator, washing machine, AC, security camera, and such, Samsung’s SmartThings app lets you control all of them right from the TV as well. The QA75Q60B also supports “Ambient Mode” so that you can display artworks whenever the TV is not in use. Its remote is quite interesting too. Samsung ships a solar version of the One Remote here, so that you don’t need to deal with disposable batteries. Even this remote is partially made of recycled plastic!

Samsung QA75Q60B 4K QLED TV Specifications:

  • Display: 75″ QLED panel, Motion Rate 100, HDR10+, HLG, Supreme UHD Dimming
  • Resolution: 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels)
  • Sound: 2x 10W output

  • Price in Nepal: Rs. 452,990 Rs. 384,890

1. Samsung The Frame (QA75LS03B) 4K QLED TV

Finally, the gold medal on our list of best 75″ 4K TV goes to Samsung’s The Frame. This is a premium QLED TV from Samsung, that serves its purpose in two-folds. The first (and the obvious) one is that it’s a great TV with rich and accurate colors, contrast, brightness, and more. Like every other premium Samsung TV, it doesn’t support Dolby Vision HDR either, but The Frame has got the next best thing: HDR10+. This HDR standard also uses dynamic metadata to deliver excellent contrast on compatible shows/movies. It also supports Motion Rate 200 so that gaming, sports, and similar content look buttery smooth.

Samsung Frame (QA75LS03BAKXXL) 4K QLED TV

Okay, so besides a great TV in itself, The Frame also doubles as an art piece. Whatever art piece you may desire. Its “Art Mode” showcases a gallery of artworks when the TV is not in use. You can choose to display from the selection of pieces from the Samsung Frame TV Art Store—or load up your own set of photos too. This TV also has a motion sensor built-in, so that it automatically turns off the Art Mode when you’ve left the room. And resume it once you’re back. To simulate a physical art piece, Samsung has also used an anti-glare matte coating here in order to minimize reflections from ambient light sources. You can even customize the actual frames of the TV to match the vibe of your room or the artwork.

Samsung The Frame (QA75LS03B) 4K QLED TV Specifications:

  • Display: 75″ QLED panel, Anti-reflection matte finish, Motion Rate 200, HDR10+, HLG, FreeSync Premium Pro

Dyson just made a pair of air-purifying headphones. No, seriously.

0

Dyson Zone might seem like an early April Fools’ joke, but it is not. Dyson has just launched active noise-canceling headphones that strangely purify the air, too. It was first conceptualized as a wearable air purifier in 2016 and the idea of integrated headphones was added later on. 

The headphones are targeted toward urban dwellers as it aims to tackle both air and noise pollution. Thus, Dyson describes it as “headphones delivering pure air and pure sound.”

Dyson Zone Overview:

Development

Dyson Zone may seem like a product born in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic. But this is not the case as the company claims it has been under development for six years. The company has put 30 years of filtration expertise into creating this product in hopes of providing air filtration not just indoors but outdoors as well.

Dyson Zone prototypes throughout the yaers

As mentioned earlier, Dyson Zone was only meant to be a wearable air purifier. However, a year into the research, the company started user trials in Beijing, which led to the idea of integrating ANC headphones and air purification.

Later on, the company settled on mounting the filters in the earcups for optimal performance. Engineers then spent most of 2019 analyzing different faces and head shapes to find the perfect comfort.

After fine-tuning the design in 2020, the company spent another year re-engineering the tech to improve performance and reduce size.

Design

Dyson’s team drew inspiration from a horse saddle for the Zone’s weight distribution. Just like a saddle, the headphones distribute weights on the sides. Dyson has divided the head cushion into three parts which help evenly distribute the weight through the “contact areas” for an optimal fit. A magnetic visor pushes clean air towards the user’s nose and mouth.

Dyson Zone Final Design

According to the company’s chief engineer Jake Dyson, “the Dyson Zone purifies the air you breathe on the move. and unlike face masks, it delivers a plume of fresh air without touching your face, using high-performance filters and two miniaturized air pumps.”

Air purification And Contact-free Visor

The Dyson Zone is the company’s first audio product. It features a 2-stage purification system that uses a filter and an electrostatic media to contain particles. Air is drawn into the headphone’s earcups and channeled into a contact-free visor that sits across the wearer’s lower face.

The visor streams two jets of purified fresh air into the wearer’s nose and mouth. Dyson claims that breathing does not feel stuffy but rather natural and comfortable with the Zone.

Dyson Zone in use

The Dyson Zone has four purification modes, low, medium, high, and auto. When the visor is dropped to the wearer’s chin, the fans stop, allowing the user to talk. However, the headphones can be used without the visor too. Besides this, the company also offers a mask attachment with an FFF2 filter.

Hi-fi Audio And ANC

According to Dyson, the Zone provides ‘premium audio technology’ which delivers ‘immersive, high-fidelity sound.’ The active noise cancellation on the headphones utilizes microphones to monitor sound from the environment and compressors to generate noise-canceling sound waves. There are three ANC modes to choose from isolation, conversation, and transparency.

Dyson Zone Price And Availability

Dyson has finally unveiled the price of the new air-purifying noise-canceling headphones. It is priced at USD 949 and will go on sale in March 2023.

Vivo’s sub-brand, iQOO, has just announced its latest flagship smartphone in China. The new iQOO 11 Pro packs the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, among other high-end hardware. In this article, we will discuss the specs, features, expected price, and availability of the iQOO 11 Pro in Nepal.

iQOO 11 Pro Overview:

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip

As expected, iQOO 11 Pro is powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The chip went official at the recent Qualcomm’s annual Snapdragon Summit and is based on TSMC’s new 4nm architecture.

It brings a new 1+4+3 CPU core structure with the Cortex X3 leading the line. Accompanying it are four Performance cores (2.8GHz) and three Efficiency cores (@2.0GHz). Likewise, the new Adreno 740 GPU on Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is the first in the lineup to offer hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

iQOO 11 Pro Internals

The chip has been paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 internal storage.

Vivo V2 ISP

In addition to Qualcomm’s flagship chip, iQOO 11 Pro rocks the latest V2 ISP engine from its parent company. Vivo unveiled the new NPU last month, and it first debuted on the Vivo X90 series.

Vivo V2 follows up the maiden V1 and the V1+ chip that came after it. It brings a dedicated SRAM which Vivo says reduces power consumption by 200% compared to traditional external DDR memory design.

Vivo V2 ISP

Camera Setup

The new ISP enhances the imaging capability of iQOO 11 Pro’s triple camera setup that is housed inside the rectangular bump. iQOO has joined hands with Sony in developing the new custom VCS IMX866. It is being used as the primary camera on the 11 Pro. iQOO is hyping the new Bionic spectrum technology which it claims unlocks more vivid closer-to-life colors, 4K Super Night videos, and Zero-Shutter-Lag Motion Snapshot.

iQOO 11 Pro Camera Setup

There is another 50MP sensor which is paired with a 150-degree ultrawide lens. It even doubles as a macro camera. Finally, we have a 2x telephoto lens with 50mm focal length for portraits.

Design and Display

Over on the front, iQOO 11 Pro sports a 6.78-inch curved E6 AMOLED screen. It boasts a QHD resolution as well as LTPO 4.0-facilitated 144Hz refresh rate. The screen has a peak brightness of 1800 nits and 1400Hz high-frequency PWM dimming to nullify flickers. You can even enjoy HDR content on the phone, courtesy of the HDR10+ certification.

The new V2 chip has a job here as well working as an independent graphics chip. As per iQOO, the chip boosts fps and reduces power consumption, while also enhancing other visual elements of the games.

iQOO 11 Pro Legendary Edition

iQOO is continuing its partnership with BMW with the 11 series as well. The iQOO Pro is available in a Legendary Edition with tri-color stripes on the back. New to this year is an Isle of Man Special Edition. The phone is also available in a matte black “Track” color option.

200W Ultra Flash Charging

While last year’s iQOO 10 Pro capped at 120W charging, the company has improved it significantly up to 200W on its successor. For this ultra-fast charging, iQOO has adopted a 10C battery of 4,700mAh battery composed of two distinct cells. Moreover, iQOO has implemented a 3-pump charging scheme. The phone ships with a compatible GaN charger as well as a 1.5m charging cable.

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro goes official with world’s first “retractable” portrait camera

0

Tecno has just introduced a new smartphone under its premium Phantom sub-brand. Called the Phantom X2 Pro, it is the world’s first smartphone to feature a retractable portrait lens. Let’s take a look at what Tecno has to offer with the Phantom X2 Pro, as well as its expected price in Nepal.

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro Overview:

Design, Display

The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro sports a unique design for a smartphone. Especially, its centrally located large camera module on the back looks extra-ordinary. It even has a decorative ring around one of its cameras. So it’s easily distinguishable from the sea of similar-looking smartphones. 

Furthermore, the X2 Pro is available in an Eco-Friendly Edition with a microfiber back cover made from recycled ocean materials. According to Tecno, ocean waste was first transformed into microfibers through a complex and multi-stage process. 

It is then woven to create a strong, long-lasting material for the back panel. All this tech is packed in the Mars Orange color variant. Whereas, there is a Stardust Grey variant with a glass back.

Up front, you’re looking at a 6.8-inch Full HD+ curved AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus Protection. This is a 10-bit panel that covers 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. Likewise, the bezels on the top and bottom are quite minimal as well.

Performance

In charge of things inside the chassis is a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC. This is a big lead from the original Phantom X which was equipped with a mid-range Helio G95 processor. 

Based on TSMC’s 4nm SoC, the SoC has a high-performance Cortex-X2 (3.05 GHz) core, three Cortex-A710 (2.85 GHz) performance cores, and four Cortex-A510 (1.8 GHz) efficiency cores. 

Sure, Tecno could have gone with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Dimensity 9200 SoC. But the Dimensity 9000 is a capable chipset in its own right. Memory options are limited to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. It comes pre-installed with Android 12-based HiOS 12.

Cameras

Let’s now talk about the highlight of this guy, the cameras. It comes with a 50MP Samsung JN1 retractable portrait lens with support for 2.5x zoom. As a result, you can even use it as a telephoto lens. The reason behind the name “retractable” lens is that the phone has a mechanism that extends the camera lens outward when in use and retracts it afterward.

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro Camera

On the other hand, this portrait lens has a bright f/1.5 aperture, which is quite wide for a 65mm smartphone camera. This brings in two advantages.  First, it allows more light to reach the sensor. Second, its shallow depth of field produces natural bokeh for portrait shots.

The portrait lens is paired with a 50MP Samsung GNV primary camera with a 1/1.3″ ISOCELL 3.0 sensor. Although the large 1/1.3” unit helps to capture more light, Tecno has also used an RGBW sensor and a glass element on the camera to increase light intake.

The remaining lens is a 13MP Samsung 3L6 ultra-wide camera which can also take macro shots. A 32MP camera with an f/1.5 aperture is there for selfies.

Rest of the specs

Besides this, the smartphone features a big 5160mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging. Biometric options include an in-display fingerprint sensor. Likewise, you get all the major connectivity options such as 5G (SA/NSA), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 ax), Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, NFC, and USB Type-C.

Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 3 (2022) with 12th Gen CPU now in Nepal

The ThinkPad L series laptops from Lenovo are marketed to business individuals looking for a cost-effective solution. And the new third-gen L14 is among the latest addition to the lineup. It has just landed in Nepal, and here we will discuss the specs, features, latest price, and availability of Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 3 in Nepal.

Performance and Memory

The third-gen ThinkPad L14 is designed to be a slim business laptop that you can take anywhere without compromising on performance.

The model available in Nepal packs the Core i7-1255U, which is a deca-core processor with 2 performance and 8 efficiency cores.

That said, the laptop has MIL-STD 810 military certification to vouch for its durability. Even the backlit keyboard that you get is spill-resistant. The chassis weighs around 1.4 kg and is available in a single Thunder Black color.

It is also often considered the “greenest” laptop in Lenovo’s portfolio since they are built for low power consumption using recycled materials.

Lenovo Thinkpad L14 Gen 3 Design and Display

Coming to the display, you get a 14” with varying resolutions, color coverages, and brightness levels. Still, you are more likely to find the base IPS model with FHD resolution, 250 nits of brightness, and 45% NTSC coverage. The screen has an anti-reflection layer and boasts a 170° viewing angle.

Battery and Connectivity

The battery on the ThinkPad L14 Gen 3 varies according to the configuration. The Core i7 variant that you get in Nepal features a 57Wh Li-Polymer pack with Rapid Charge support. With the feature enabled from the Vantage app, you can charge the laptop up to 80% in an hour using the 65W adapter provided in the box.

With its latest L14, Lenovo claims that you can work from almost anywhere. For this, it has included tons of connectivity features.

Then there is Intel AX201 11 Wi-Fi 6 card and Bluetooth 5.1 for wireless connectivity.

Rest of the Specs

There are multiple security features embedded as well. Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 2 features a touch-style fingerprint reader on the power button. It’s a “Match-On-Chip” sensor that stores your biometric information separately from the host system, making it more secure than traditional match-on-host solutions.
