Kodak QLED SE 32QSE5080 Smart TV, 36W Speakers, ₹9,699

Want a QLED TV with loud speakers for under ₹10,000 and only need the basic streaming apps? The Kodak QLED SE 32 (model 32QSE5080, 2025 edition) was ₹9,699 on amazon.in when we checked (MRP ₹14,999), the lowest price in this list. It has 3.9★ from 299 ratings and 100+ bought in the past month. It ranks #10 in our Best Smart TVs Under ₹15,000 list with an overall score of 5.9/10.

WHO IT'S FOR

A kitchen, guest room or shop TV that will mostly play YouTube, JioHotstar, Prime Video and a set-top box, where price matters more than apps. It is not for heavy app users.

PICTURE QUALITY

A QLED (quantum dot) panel with a listed 4000:1 contrast and 178° viewing angle. Fine for the price. Score: 6.0/10.

RESOLUTION AND HDR

HD Ready (1366 × 768). No HDR format is listed. Score: 5.5/10.

BRIGHTNESS

A listed 400 nits, among the brighter claims here. Brightness figures at this price are the seller's own claims, not measurements, so treat them as a rough guide. Score: 7.0/10.

REFRESH RATE AND GAMING

60Hz, 10ms response time. No game features. Score: 5.5/10.

PROCESSOR AND SMOOTHNESS

The weakest here. Smartprix lists an Amlogic quad-core Cortex-A35 with only 512MB RAM and 4GB storage. Amazon does not list RAM. Expect slow menus and app loading. Score: 3.0/10.

SMART OS AND APPS

This is a Linux smart TV, not Android or Google TV, so there is no Play Store. Amazon lists JioHotstar, YouTube, Prime Video, SonyLIV and Zee5; Netflix is not listed, so check before buying if you need it. Screen mirroring is through Miracast. Score: 3.5/10.

SOUND OUTPUT

36W from bottom-firing box speakers with a surround mode, the third-loudest here after the two 48W Blaupunkts. Score: 8.0/10.

PORTS AND CONNECTIVITY

2 HDMI (with eARC), 2 USB 2.0, optical out, Ethernet and Bluetooth 5.0. Amazon's bullets say dual-band Wi-Fi, but Smartprix lists 2.4GHz only. Score: 7.5/10.

DESIGN AND BEZELS

3.5kg. Amazon lists the mounting type as table mount and the box contents as TV, remote, batteries and manual; no wall bracket is listed. Score: 6.0/10.

WARRANTY AND SERVICE

1 year comprehensive on the TV and 6 months on accessories. Kodak TVs in India are made under licence by SPPL, the same company behind Blaupunkt TVs. Score: 6.0/10.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

Use the set-top box for live TV and keep the built-in apps for YouTube and Hotstar. If you need Netflix or more apps, add a ₹3,000–4,000 streaming stick to one of the HDMI ports, which also fixes the slow software.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

• •The TV, a remote, two AAA batteries and a user manual.

HOW IT COMPARES AT THIS PRICE

For ₹300 more, the VW 32 Pro Series Google TV (₹9,999) gives you Google TV, 2GB RAM and a 2-year warranty. For ₹1,000 more, the Blaupunkt 32QD7080 (₹10,699) has a proper Android TV with 48W sound, 3 HDMI ports and ALLM. That is why the Kodak ranks last despite its price.

VALUE FOR MONEY

Cheap, bright and loud, but the software holds it back. Score: 7.0/10.

VERDICT

The Kodak QLED SE 32 is only for basic viewing on the lowest budget. Buy it for set-top-box TV, YouTube and Hotstar. If you stream a lot, the VW32F1 is a much better buy for ₹300 more.
