India’s home-tech market has two fresh launches aimed at making everyday comfort feel a little smarter. Vu has introduced its Masterpiece AEye TV series with RGB MiniLED displays and AI-based picture adjustments. Meanwhile, Signify has expanded its EcoLink range with connected water heaters and oil-filled room heaters.
One launch focuses on better screen viewing, while the other looks at hot water and room warmth. Here is what buyers should know before considering either range.
Vu Masterpiece AEye TV series – Big screens with AI picture tuning
Vu’s new Masterpiece AEye range comes in 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch, 98-inch and 115-inch sizes. Prices begin at Rs. 75,000 for the 55-inch model and go up to Rs. 13,00,000 for the 115-inch version. The TVs are available through leading retail stores in India.
The key feature is RGB MiniLED technology. In simple terms, it uses many small red, green and blue backlights to deliver richer colours and better control over bright and dark parts of an image.
Vu says the TV’s ambient-light sensor checks the room lighting, while its AI engine studies the scene playing on screen. It then adjusts brightness, contrast, colour temperature and HDR settings. For example, a dark movie scene watched at night may appear less harsh than it would with a fixed bright setting.
The 55-inch to 98-inch models offer up to 2,500 nits of claimed brightness and as many as 2,000 local-dimming zones. The 115-inch model raises these numbers to 3,000 nits and 2,696 zones. All models run Google TV with Gemini AI, include 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, and come with two Bluetooth voice remotes.
Sound is also a serious part of the package. Smaller models offer 110W audio, while the 115-inch version gets a 240W, 10-driver sound system with Dolby Atmos support.
Signify EcoLink – Smart water heating and room warmth
Signify has entered India’s water-heater and room-heater categories under its EcoLink brand. The new range includes instant heaters, storage water heaters and WinterComfort oil-filled radiator heaters. Prices start at Rs. 5,999 for instant models, Rs. 13,999 for storage heaters and Rs. 16,999 for room heaters.
The standout product is the ThermoQuad Smart water heater, available in 15-litre and 25-litre capacities. It connects to the WiZ app, letting users switch the geyser on remotely or set a schedule. It also supports Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Siri Shortcuts.
A useful clarification is that voice control applies to the ThermoQuad Smart water heaters. The WinterComfort room heaters offer digital or manual controls, but the launch information does not state that they support voice commands.
EcoLink’s storage models have a claimed BEE 5-star rating and use features designed for hard-water areas, including a glass-lined tank and a protected heating element. As reported, the WinterComfort OFR range includes Eco, Cozy and Boost modes, plus an extra ceramic heating element for quicker warmth.
Competitors and buying choice
Vu will compete with Samsung Neo QLED, LG QNED, Sony Bravia and Hisense RGB MiniLED TVs. Its lower starting price and automatic picture adjustments could appeal to buyers wanting a premium display without entering the ultra-luxury price bracket.
EcoLink enters a crowded market led by brands such as Racold, Havells, Bajaj, AO Smith and Usha. Its advantage is connected control, but buyers should still compare capacity, warranty, local installation support and electricity use.
