Lumio Vision 7 QLED TV Tackles A Core Issue Without Any Major Trade-Offs

Have you experienced your smart TV slowing down over time, which was already slow to turn on to begin with? Many consumers fix this issue by purchasing an Apple TV or an Amazon Fire TV Stick. But Circuit House Technologies' Lumio brand is aiming to solve this issue out of the box. The company is debuting with two TV models – Vision 7 and Vision 9 in India.
The Lumio Vision 7 comes in 43-inch, 50-inch, and 55-inch sizes with 4K resolution, whereas the Vision 9 offers a 55-inch 4K mini-LED panel. I've been using the 55-inch Vision 7 (INR 39,999) for over a week, and while Lumio focuses on solving a core performance issue, it does so without compromising the essential TV experience.

Many TVs in this price range either compromise on the panel tuning or on sound, but the Vision 7 is different. It features a QLED panel with 4K resolution and up to 400 nits of peak brightness. For my content consumption experience, I watched Cha Cha Real Smooth on Apple TV, Spider-Man: Far From Home on Netflix, and IPL matches on JioStar.
The Lumio Vision 7 offers nine Picture Modes to personalize your viewing experience: Standard, Dynamic, Movie, ECO, Gentle, Vivid, Sport, Game, and Personal, which you can tune to your liking. In Dolby Vision content, like on Apple TV, you get Dolby Vision Dark, Dolby Vision Bright, and Dolby Vision Game.
Lumio has tuned the Vision 7's panel very well. The HDR on Spider-Man was great without being overblown (which can be an issue on several low-quality TV panels). The bright areas retained details, which made for a captivating viewing experience. I set it to a warmer tone in Movie mode, which I prefer over Standard for videos due to my room's warm lighting. Though I preferred watching IPL matches in the Standard mode.
As for Dolby Vision modes, the Dolby Vision Dark setting is best suited if you're watching movies with no lights on. It is slightly dimmer than the Bright preset, which is better suited for the day. It is an excellent panel to consume HDR content, aided by clear and loud sound. You don't get a thrusting bass in action scenes, but these are very good speakers for a TV. The dialogues were clear without getting muffled. It can get louder than expected, and I found myself getting room-filling sound at the 20–25 volume mark.

Most budget and mid-range TVs take too long to switch on and load apps. It can be a snoozefest and I've missed watching crucial deliveries in live cricket matches because I was waiting for my TV to load. The Lumio Vision 7 is a refreshing experience in that regard, thanks to 3GB of DDR4 RAM and a faster processor.
It runs a familiar Google TV UI, but in a faster form. The Vision 7 takes more than 30 seconds to turn on, but it's quicker than a 1-minute wait on other TVs. The Lumio Vision 7 offers a snappy navigation experience. It is responsive and loads apps faster (including the Apple TV app for Android). You might not appreciate it until you use it, because we're used to long loading times on TVs.
Lumio has also added a first-party app called TLDR, which is a custom dashboard offering a new approach to content discovery. It displays trending music and sports scores in a three-column layout. You can't personalize it yet, but I'd prefer for Lumio to let me add my favorite teams and musicians so their latest scores or work is on top in TLDR.

The Lumio Vision 7 offers 3x USB ports, an optical port, an ethernet port, and 3x HDMI 2.1 ports, with one supporting eARC to connect a soundbar. These are easy to reach, situated on the left side (from your view when sitting opposite the TV). The stands are solid, and I had no issue setting them up.
As for the remote, it's built out of plastic but has a grey finish. It is light and includes hotkeys for Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and TLDR. Other buttons include volume rockers, a mute button, Google Assistant, and more. It looks a bit cluttered, but I'd rather have buttons than a minimalist layout just for sleekness. Lumio's remote is functional, ergonomic, and holds all the buttons you might need.
The Lumio Vision 7 QLED TV starts at INR 29,999 for the 43-inch size in India. It goes up to INR 39,999 for the 55-inch model, and the 50-inch option sits in the middle at INR 34,999. The mini-LED-equipped Lumio Vision 9 comes in a single 55-inch model for INR 59,999.
The Lumio Vision TV lineup will be available for pre-order starting April 23 through Amazon India's website. You can get two years of comprehensive warranty and another year of extended warranty if you pre-order one till April 30. As for after-sales service, the brand promises service through a network of over 300 service centres covering 19,000 pin codes in India.

Sydney Sweeney breaks silence on Jonathan Davino breakup, is 'loving' single life
Sydney Sweeney breaks silence on Jonathan Davino breakup, is 'loving' single life Show Caption Hide Caption Sydney Sweeney arrives at the 2025 Met Gala in dazzling black gown Sydney Sweeney graces the Met Gala red carpet in a dazzling black gown. Sydney Sweeney is clearing up rumors about her engagement to Jonathan Davino once and for all. When asked by the U.K. newspaper The Sunday Times about their status, Sweeney was honest but withheld details. She confirmed she is no longer planning a wedding with Davino, with whom she co-founded a production company; the two had been linked together for nearly seven years. And she replied "yes" when asked whether she's single now. "I'm learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends. And I'm loving it," the 27-year-old told the newspaper. Sweeney's comments, which were published in the newspaper's May 31 feature story timed to her new AppleTV+ film, "Echo Valley," come more than three months after rumors started swirling around a possibly rocky relationship. By the end of March, outlets including People, TMZ and US Weekly were reporting the two had split. Sweeney's representatives did not respond to USA TODAY's request for comment at the time. Relationship timeline: Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino spark split rumors Sydney Sweeney reveals close relationship with Glen Powell Sweeney also touched on the box-office success of the 2023 movie she and Davino co-produced, "Anyone But You." The film – and Sweeney and co-star Glen Powell's marketing stunts – fueled a seldom-seen race to see the rom-com in theaters. "Glenn and I adore each other, so I think we were so happy for the reception of the film," she said, noting the two are "still close." (Sweeney attended Powell's sister's wedding in Texas in March.) "When you spend so much time with someone, you become close and you talk to each other about anything," she told The Sunday Times. "So work, life, family, friends, he's just there for me. I'm there for him." In an April 2024 New York Times interview, Powell admitted the speculation over whether he and Sweeney were having an affair was all a showmance. "The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry. Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry," he said. "That's people wanting what's on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit — and it worked wonderfully." He added, "Sydney is very smart." Sydney Sweeney's essentials: She dishes on her favorite rom-com and what's on her playlist Sydney Sweeney says she's typecast as Cassie from 'Euphoria' Sweeney also opened up to The Sunday Times about being back on the "Euphoria" set. "Being back is crazy. I love Cassie so much," she said. "She's insane." Sweeney also got honest about how she feels she is typecast when auditioning for roles. "I see it all the time where they don't think I am right for [a role] because they watched Cassie in Euphoria. Especially because Cassie was such a sexualized character — that puts a wall up for people," she told the newspaper. The other battle she's fighting in Hollywood is being "taken seriously as a producer." Sweeney said, "I have to prove myself as a young woman, as an actor, as a businessperson — all of it."
