MarQ by Flipkart 165 cm (65) Ultra HD (4K) LED Smart Android TV

I was looking for a decent quality big-sized TV with decent sound output and play the latest codecs in 4k and available at a decent rate.\n\nAfter losing half a lakh on a premium phone which worked exactly for 2 years, I was hesitant to buy a TV at premium rates (1k or more) and no guarantee of working post 3-5 years.\n\nAfter referring to Vu, Mi, TCL, Thomson, Blaupunkt, I felt this Marq offering was the best of all I want. It was advertised as a 65 inch 4k TV with Dolby surround sound. I also came to know that it had a quad core processor with 2.5GB RAM. That was something I was looking forward to. I had tried playing 4k HEVC encoded videos on Android boxes and phones and I found that only premium boxes or Snapdragon 845 phones can fluidly play 4k HEVC files. I assumed that if the player can play this file, other files will be a breeze with no lag.\n\nThe TV was huge compared to my existing 42 inch TV(of course) and no video or photo could justify the actual size. \n\nWhat I liked :\nIt plays the 4k HEVC files flawlessly. No issues at all. Really beautiful video output. YouTube videos too stream beautifully.\nThe speakers are front-facing and so, thankfully, are loud and in-your-face whether the TV is wall mounted or on stand. Output was loud as I couldn’t watch movies more than 3-4 volume level (about one-tenth of 100% sound) without my mother yelling me to turn down the volume. And the TV is in a huge open drawing room!\n\nWhat I disliked :\nNo support to Netflix or Amazon Prime, my two primary media streams, in any way (direct or side loaded). I thought it might be an issue with DRM, but it is an L1 Widevine device!\nAlso, ineffective support for other apps, looks like Marq intentionally doesn’t want us to load further or alternate apps. For eg, ES Explorer doesn’t detect some pendrives on a multi-USB hub, and so does VLC. Chrome browser, Amazon music, Saavn cannot be found in store. How can this TV be called a Google-certified Android TV? Attempting side-loading these apps also seems futile.\nDefault and only available media player doesn’t support skip-jumping to certain points in a video(like in PC’s or as air mouse). It also doesn’t have any options for customisation. I really needed the player to remember last played position in videos and am forced to play it from the beginning. The fancier remote can only fastforward to 32x. However, to it’s favour, the less fancier remote has a blue button which could take you to an entered position (hh:mm:ss) in the file.\nI was told (and shown) by the Jeeves rep that I can connect Bluetooth mouse to the TV and move to required positions in video file, but I later found that it’s a random occurance. Sometimes the mouse click is accepted, sometimes it’s not! I even bought a wireless keyboard mouse specific for smart TVs, but not all buttons on that also were detected. It didn’t skip-jump either. If anyone gets a 100% compatible wireless solution, please intimate me too or put up in your reviews.\nNo S/PDIF.\nI was not able to cast any of my phones onto the TV and after lot of experiment was able to cast using my phone’s hotspot, even though both phone and TV were in full range to an external WiFi! Again, casting was jerky for some Netflix and Amazon prime content and I was not able to appreciate subHD content (my phone’s unfortunately had L1 Widevine level) on a 4k 65 incher!\n\nI was not able to fully appreciate the HDR mode as I found normal 1080p video more colourful and deeper than 4K HDR of the same file and format! [Of course, I had enabled HDR in picture options]\nNeither was I able to appreciate content less than 1080p. Does this TV really have video upscaling or am I too discerning?\nI was also not able to appreciate the Dolby effect, even after downloading content from the Dolby site itself. Some surround effect was felt though, nothing unanticipated. All sounds was, as the speaker was, from the front direction only.\nThat’s all for now, folks. Will keep you updated after few months of usage. As of now, I’m satisfied with the quality and more than satisfied with the performance at this price.\nBTW, I had a few queries regarding the functioning and limits of the TV, which I asked vice email to Marq. They just arranged for a service rep visit.\nThe queries were :\n1. Regarding a compatible keyboard/mouse for jumping to portions in a video. I was not able to do it with wired/wireless or even air mouse!\n2. Wireless streaming from phone is just buffering and hanging sometimes. it also exits this mode during hang.\n3. After the recent update, power off on remote actually shuts down the TV, instead of just offing the display, which was fast. this is now an actual shutdown and restart (talking huge time)\n4. I asked if Netflix & Amazon Prime support be ever extended to this TV, as it is Widevine L1.\n5. No other regular app works properly on the TV, other than the default installed ones. No Chrome, Google photos in the Play Store, VLC, Kodi, ESExplorer don’t detect pendrives/video files on a Google certified Android 8 TV!\nNo reply received yet.\nAnother issue which cropped up recently… sometimes, when the display is off (remote OFF), the TV switches ON on its own! We generally don’t switch off the power on the TV at night, and next morning the TV is ON. Is it updating…or… power fluctuations… or… possessed 🙄

1 Years Review- So I’ve used this tv for an year now and my views on it have changed over time. I rated it 5 stars as soon as I got it because it felt like a great deal and screen was bright and nice. \n\nA year of usage, and I started to see the flaws over time. Things I should have considered more:\n\n1. Bad software- It is an android tv but not a good one at it. No Netflix or Prime. It reminds me of the early android phones that were in the market, glitchy and bad a UI. The Google voice commands hardly work. Apps don’t perform well, requires restarts once in while\n\nI moved to an Prime stick couple of months ago and realised the difference in quality instantly. Just a better and cleaner dash board and UI, no glitches and a far better voice control. That is what I would recommend everyone to do. \n\n2 Sound- It is a powerful speaker, no arguments there. But the volume control sucks. It’s either to quite at volume 5 or too loud at volume 6….very frustrating. And I definitely notice the lack of clarity in voice compared to better TV’s.\n\n3. Screen- This is a positive. I like the screen quality, bright and sharp for its price point.\nIt says that it has HDR but I don’t really see that it videos when compared to a samsung tv. The depth of colours are definitly not on par, but then it is unfair for me to compare it to a tv that costs twice as much. \n\n4. Value for money- It is value for money, if you want a 65 inch 4k tv and are not too particular with software, and use it for general dth viewing, it’s a good choice. The other flaws can be overlooked. \n\nIf I had to go back in time, I would not get this tv. Im not the person that changes tv’s every couple of years. I will definitely use them for 6-8 years. And for that reason I would spend more and get a better branded tv that will give me a better user experience.

real value for money. excellent clarity. very happy with the product. good service and delivery.. please note that HDMI 3 is a special port to enhance audio and only HDMI version 1.3 world on that port…
