Vu Masterpiece AEye: RGB MiniLED TVs from 55 to 115 inches, starting at ₹75,000
Vu's new Masterpiece AEye series brings RGB MiniLED, up to 3,000 nits and a light-sensing eye-comfort mode to India in six sizes, starting at ₹75,000.
Vu has just put a cinema-sized idea on the shop floor. The Mumbai-based television maker's new Masterpiece AEye series uses an RGB MiniLED panel, comes in six sizes from 55 inches all the way up to a wall-swallowing 115 inches, and starts at ₹75,000. The pitch is not only a brighter, punchier picture, but a TV that changes how it looks depending on the light in your room, so your eyes are not working overtime during a late-night binge.
What RGB MiniLED actually means
Most MiniLED TVs use thousands of tiny white or blue LEDs behind the screen. Vu's AEye series uses an RGB MiniLED backlight instead, and Vu claims 100 per cent coverage of the BT.2020 colour space, the wide colour standard used for HDR content. The 4K panel is rated for up to 2,500 nits of XDR brightness on the 55- to 98-inch models and 3,000 nits on the 115-inch giant. Local dimming runs across up to 2,000 AI-mapped zones on the smaller sizes and 2,696 zones on the 115-inch, which should mean deeper blacks around bright objects, think floodlights at a night match or the glow of a lightsaber.
The panel runs at 120Hz natively, with a 288Hz "Fluid Motion" mode and Vu's Hyper-Motion AI Engine for smoother fast action. HDR support covers Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10 and HLG, and gamers get VRR, ALLM and a Game Dashboard. There are four HDMI 2.1 ports, so a console, a streaming box and a soundbar can all stay plugged in.
The 'AEye' bit: a TV that dims the mood with you
The headline feature is AEye Comfort. An ambient light sensor and Vu's AI read the room and adjust brightness and colour to match both the lighting and the scene, and the picture shifts to warmer tones at night. In plain English: a bright afternoon cricket match and a dark-room horror film at 1 am should not hit your eyes the same way. There is also a dedicated Low Blue Light picture mode, and a Personalised Frame Mode that turns the screen into a display for photos and art when you are not watching.
Sound, smarts and design
The 55- to 98-inch models get a VuFX 2.2.2-channel, 110W system with Dolby Atmos and two built-in woofers. The 115-inch steps up to a 6.2.2-channel, 240W setup with 10 drivers and dual subwoofers. Dolby AC-4 dialogue enhancement is on board for those mumbled OTT dialogues. The TVs run Google TV with Gemini AI and Chromecast built in, with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, and come with two Bluetooth voice remotes with Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube hotkeys. The 55- to 98-inch sets wear an "Armani Gold" bezel, while the 115-inch gets an ultra-slim aluminium-alloy body. Vu says the series is assembled in India.

The FHM take
RGB MiniLED has been the buzzword of the premium TV world, and Vu bringing it in from ₹75,000 is the real story here. The eye-comfort trick sounds like marketing until you remember how many of us fall asleep to a glowing screen. If you have been eyeing a big-screen upgrade for the next World Cup or that GTA marathon, the 65- and 75-inch models look like the sweet spot. The 115-inch? That is not a TV, it is a lifestyle decision.
