VU Premium android 43 Inch 4K TV 43-OA Need Help

by livingoff

I brought the VU Premium android 43 Inch 4K TV 43-OA, This TV has the best panel in budget segment, Its a VA panel (deep black levels ) with good brightness and great static contrast ratio. Most budget TVs lack good brightness and contrast ratio. Build quality feels good according to price and coming to sound output it decent, I have seen better in this price range. Remote quality feels very very cheap.

Note : Netflix app didn't come pre-installed (but available in play store) and Amazon prime video is not available in play store. Although I side loaded amazon prime video oreo tv and other apps. Opening netflix app gives a popup everytime which says "Warning This device is not optimized for Netflix(-14)" If you click ok it goes away.

Here are the problems I am facing :

While playing any content from any OTT apps in 4K, 1080p the video quality is like RAW footage of a live video. There is no lag whats so ever but videos look very RAW.

I specially brought this tv to watch Netflix, prime video and live tv using oreo tv app. But due to this issue it doesn't feel like I am watching a movie or any tv series. Everything feels like a RAW unprocessed video. It feels really weird while watching like this.

secondary issue, while playing videos in YouTube sometime it video freezes (The RAW video effect is present here too)

Although Flipkart site say 43 OA with cricket mode, The model I received doesn't actually have cricket mode. (Not a big deal at all)

Anybody who has purchased VU Premium Android TV, Can you please confirm if you people are also facing the same issue like me ?

It sounds like your describing the "soap opera effect". That is from motion smoothing. Try turning that setting off. It may be labeled something different on your TV though. Check out this article and video: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/soap-opera-effect-tom-cruise-wants-you-to-turn-it-off-heres-how/

Hope this helps

"Warning This device is not optimized for Netflix(-14)"

That message means the TV is still NOT certified by Netflix.

Turn of ultra smooth under pictures / advance setting also set the picture setting for all sources in picture. As for cricket it only come with oa- V1 not with OA models, i personally talk to Vu on that and they have said that they have do some kind of tuning in factory especially for cricket so there will be on OTA update for that as for now you have to exchange your TV with OA - V1 for cricket mode.

You are lucky you got without cricket mode variant, I guess with cricket mode is on a new June Security Patch and that update has broken Dolby Vision With HDMI

Even I was using without cricket mode with Fire TV Stick 4k and everything was great but don't know why went with the replacement for just newer cricket variant and now my Dolby Vision content through Fire TV Stick 4k displays a green bar at bottom part of screen even covering the playback bar and neither Amazon nor Vu are able to help, Vu technician tried to update the software using USB but it remained on same June update and they are not efficient to provide an OTA update for this as they are just rebranding hisense TVs and bringing them to India.

Today Amazon would be replacing my Fire TV stick 4k with another one just to confirm the issue.

Even posted a thread for this but yet to receive any replies https://www.reddit.com/r/TVRepair/comments/duona3/green_strip_on_screen_on_vu_premium_android_with/
