Lumio—a fresh Indian tech brand built by the same brains behind Xiaomi and Flipkart’s early success. And now? They’re entering the smart TV game.
On April 10, they’re dropping two models: the Vision 7 and the Vision 9. But before you roll your eyes thinking “oh great, another smart TV,” hear this out:
These aren’t just smart—they’re damn ambitious. Think: ₹1 lakh-level specs, potentially under ₹50K. Let’s get into why this launch might just mess up the mid-range market (in a good way).
Brightness Battle: 400 nits vs 900 nits
Let’s talk nits—that’s basically how bright your screen gets.
- Vision 7 = 400 nits peak brightness.
- Vision 9 = 900 nits, which is over 2x brighter.
Why does that matter?
Because most budget TVs barely scratch 300–400 nits. With 900, you’re not just “seeing better” — you’re unlocking real HDR punch. Highlights pop. Daylight scenes look alive. And if your room gets sun during the day? You won’t be watching a reflection of your own face.
Color Gamut: The “Whoa, That’s Real?” Factor
Here’s a fact nobody talks about enough.
- Most TVs show around 80–85% of what the human eye can see.
- Vision 7 covers 110% DCI-P3
- Vision 9 hits 115% DCI-P3
Translation? These TVs show 15–35% more colors than what you’re used to.
That means:
- Cartoons burst off the screen
- Skin tones feel warm, not washed out
- Movies feel more “cinematic” than ever
It’s not just “better” colors—it’s closer to real life, or maybe even better than real life.
The ‘Boss’ Processor — Not Just Marketing Lingo
Lumio’s using its own chip called the Boss, paired with 3GB DDR4 RAM.
For comparison: Most TVs in this range use 1.5GB to 2GB RAM.
And that’s why those other TVs take 10–15 seconds to open YouTube. Or randomly freeze mid-episode. With 3GB, expect buttery menus, faster app switches, and overall fewer moments of you screaming at your remote.
Also, it’s running Android TV with the Google TV UI. Meaning:
- You can tweak stuff like Android
- But still get that simple, curated Google vibe
Win-win.
30W Quad Driver Sound That Actually Delivers
Most budget TVs slap on 20W speakers and call it a day.
Lumio’s gone further:
- 30W output (which is 50% louder)
- 4 drivers = 2 full-range + 2 tweeters
- 88.2kHz / 24-bit audio sampling
That’s basically studio-grade audio. No joke.
Even background whispers in a thriller? Crisp. Nature sounds in documentaries? You’ll feel like you’re sitting in the forest.
Fasten your Couchbelts.

Audiophile Alert: 300 Ohms Impedance on Headphone Jack?!
Here’s something TVs rarely do: give love to wired headphone users.
Lumio Vision 7 & 9 support 300 Ohm impedance through the 3.5mm jack.
That’s a big deal. Most TVs can’t even drive 80 Ohm properly.
This means you can plug in serious gear like the Sennheiser HD650, no separate amp needed. Just TV > jack > boom, bliss.
Late night movie marathons just got very personal.
So Which One Should You Actually Buy?
| Feature | Vision 7 | Vision 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Peak Brightness | 400 nits | 900 nits |
| Color Gamut | 110% DCI-P3 | 115% DCI-P3 |
| Backlight | Blue LED | Blue Mini-LED |
| Contrast Ratio | ~500,000:1 est. | 1,000,000:1 |
| RAM | 3GB DDR4 | 3GB DDR4 |
| Speakers | 30W Quad Driver | 30W Quad Driver |
| OS + UI | Android + Google TV | Android + Google TV |
Launch Details
Launching: April 10
Available on: Amazon India
Brand: Circuit House Technologies
These are the first-ever TVs from Lumio, so expect launch offers, maybe even early bird discounts.
If pricing hits around ₹30K for Vision 7 and ₹45K for Vision 9, we might be witnessing a mid-range massacre.
Final Verdict: Should You Care?
Yes, 100%, if you:
- Want flagship-level display & audio for half the price
- Love bold visuals and clear sound, no soundbar needed
- Hate slow UIs and laggy apps
- Prefer future-ready tech like Dolby Vision, Mini-LED, and high-end headphone support
Maybe skip it if:
- You already have a high-end QLED/OLED from 2023
- You don’t care about visuals or sound and just want a screen
