D'oh I thought laptops.
best is go to reliance store..check some laptops..then buy from online sale..lolPersonal experience - I can recommend two brands in India over a decade of usage. Apple and Asus.
Asus is in your budget. Some notes other than what has been pointed out -
- Go for OLED. Difference in screen is miles apart from an LCD/IPS panel. I bought an OLED Asus, and then when I bought Apple I had to go for Pro - because I had grown used to the OLED screen. Do read about OLED screen lifetimes though. I hear they aren't as durable as LCDs.
- Do check out a bit about repairs and charges. Calling your nearest authorised centre helps, most of the times they are honest about service charges and what is covered in warranty.
- Asus, luckily, has a good hardware for cheap prices in India at the moment. Flipkart is safe, but make a video when opening box. Even with their new open box policy. Choose only Flipkart fulfilled/verified and a highly rated seller.
- Asus listings on Flipkart are not organised well, unfortunately. What that means is that you might miss a good laptop deal unless you track each Asus laptop you are interested in. It is worth the effort though, BBD deals are really good.
- You can't escape paid windows now. I tried, and wish you the best to try.
- You can also try Samsung laptops - via their corporate store. I haven't used Samsung laptops for long, but I can vouch for Samsung build quality and service support. Mind you, processor names and generations (Intel sux) are a slight gimmick right now. So, don't pay more for a flagship processor. Chances are your laptop isn't optimised well, and you paid high for nothing.
@HumorSimpson - I don't recommend laptops with an OLED display if you prefer durability. A laptop's display is more fragile than that of a phone. And hence they are supposed to be taken care of like a baby, which could be a major challenge while travelling.Go for OLED. Difference in screen is miles apart from an LCD/IPS panel.

Aware of that. Thank you.@HumorSimpson - I don't recommend laptops with an OLED display if you prefer durability. A laptop's display is more fragile than that of a phone. And hence they are supposed to be taken care of like a baby, which could be a major challenge while travelling.
Also, as I told you before, the OLED displays are susceptible to burn-ins (Screen retention issue). And it is a major problem with the OLED displays.
Get a laptop with an IPS display with at least 72% colour gamut if you need an awesome experience with guaranteed durability. There's a reason why premium monitors—even today—come with IPS displays.

This is 🙀 catastrophic.

Every modern oled has pixel shifting or similar feature enabled by default so burn in is a non issue in 2024. Display care is similar to any other screen.. what are you doing with your laptop?? The reason i reccomend OLED for content consumption is HDR is beautiful to look at...@HumorSimpson - I don't recommend laptops with an OLED display if you prefer durability.

May be we will come to know if these are actually avoiding the issues in an year or so?Every modern oled has pixel shifting or similar feature enabled by default so burn in is a non issue in 2024.

You can get 55-inch LG OLEDs below 1L.I am waiting for OLED 55"-65" TVs to drop below 1L.
Thank you. I'll check it out. I'm still a bit inclined towards 65 inches, but yes, price difference between 55 and 65 is a lot right now.You can get 55-inch LG OLEDs below 1L.
Pixel-shifting isn't a hardware feature; It's rather a software feature done especially to prevent burn-ins.Every modern oled has pixel shifting or similar feature enabled by default so burn in is a non issue in 2024.
Haha, it's interesting how, when I mentioned that OLED displays are fragile, many people thought I was referring to dropping the laptop. What I actually meant is that the lids of laptops, where the brand logo is usually located, in most cases, are flimsy. When you place a laptop in a bag and travel with it, pressure applied to the lid can be transferred to the display, potentially causing damage.Display care is similar to any other screen.. what are you doing with your laptop??
I do agree OLEDs look amazing with "inky" blacks and infinite contrast. The thing is.. you get a lot of drawbacks for the benefit. It just isn't worth it for me personally especially for a laptop (I'm okay with OLED on a phone, and in fact have one). I want to be able to do my work without leaving a static image or having to worry about taking care of it all the time like a baby. I care more about enjoying a worry-free experience than worry about how to protect my display in return for slightly better image quality.That being said, I would still go with OLED and be more careful with handling. Just like I'd never buy an LCD phone again, now that I've experienced OLED phones (this may be true for many of us). Just try not to drop your laptop, ever
Good point. But that's because the OLED panels themselves are very expensive. 😛3. The most premium monitors, those costing 1L+, are almost exclusively OLED now. I saw a few freaky cool ones with ultra-ultra-wide 32:9 ratio and 48" wide screen. Absolutely stunning display for gaming/multitasking.
You're right. But it's majorly because IPS displays suffer a common problem — called "IPS Glow" (Kinda like backlight bleeding) — which is a major problem for a majority of gamers who usually play games in a dark environment. VA themselves aren't bad and majority of TVs come with VA panels, too. But their colour accuracy is not as good as IPS ones. Also, by "expensive monitors," I was referring to the monitors used in studios (For movie production and editing) for being the most colour accurate. Also, a nice IPS display can provide you a decent "deep black" effect, too.Gaming monitors are VA panels instead of IPS.
