The TV comes with a bezel-less design and is said to offer viewing angles up to 178 degrees. It is paired with a stereo speaker setup with 40W output and Dolby Atmos branding. Similar to most other smart TVs on the market, there is support for different audio modes depending on the content being played – 4 to be exact, i.e. Standard/Sport/Movie/Music modes.

The latest Thomson TV comes with 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage, and runs on Jio’s latest Tele OS instead of Google TV. The switch to Jio Tele OS means that there is no official Play Store on the TV, and it is instead replaced by the JioStore app store. For what it’s worth, Thomson claims that its partnership with Jio will result in fast response time, easy navigation and access to a variety of apps.

The Tele OS is claimed to bring over 300+ free live TV channels and cut the need of a DTH connection. The bundled remote comes with four hot keys: Netflix, Jio Cinema, Jio Hotstar and Youtube. It is also claimed to bring voice search in a variety of Indian languages apart from English including: Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Malayalam, Bengali and Gujarati.
