Sansui's Latest Offering

In an exciting development for TV enthusiasts, Sansui has just launched its latest 55-inch 4K OLED TV (model S55VOUG) at a price that will make you consider upgrading your home entertainment system. Retailing between $799 and $899 depending on current promotions from various retailers, this is an impressive entry in the budget OLED market.

Competitive Pricing

Victor Elmann, Senior VP of Marketing at Sansui, confirmed to The Verge that while the list price is set at $899, savvy shoppers can find it for as low as $799 at retailers like Micro Center. The launch appears to be exclusive to the US market, as noted by What HiFi?

Breaking the Mold

This newly released OLED TV breaks the mold of pricing in the OLED category. While typical budget options hover above the $1,000 mark, Sansui's offering competes closely with some mid-range Mini-LED TVs, making it a standout choice for those looking for vibrant picture quality without breaking the bank. For comparison, last year’s similar offerings from Sharp were priced significantly higher at $1,499.99, and LG's acclaimed B4 model debuted at $1,699.

Features of the Sansui OLED TV

What’s packed into this affordable OLED? The Sansui TV runs on the user-friendly Google TV platform, ensuring an intuitive viewing experience. It features four HDMI ports, of which two support the latest HDMI 2.1 standard, making it ideal for gamers with next-gen consoles. Additional gamer-friendly specs include variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low latency mode, which are critical for delivering smooth gameplay. Plus, you’ll enjoy rich audio with integrated speakers, including a subwoofer, along with support for both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos for an immersive viewing experience.

Karaoke Mode

A particularly engaging addition is the karaoke mode, which Sansui claims can remove vocals from YouTube karaoke videos in real-time, complete with on-screen lyrics. Digital karaoke enthusiasts will surely appreciate this feature, reminiscent of Apple Music Sing on Apple devices. If it functions as advertised, it may well turn your living room into a vibrant karaoke venue.

Availability

Sansui has announced that retailers such as Amazon and Walmart will also soon carry this new OLED model. Currently, Newegg has it listed for $899.99, making it the only other outlet with the product at this time.

Conclusion

This launch comes at a time when affordable OLED TVs are in high demand, and as competition heats up in the electronics market, it’s a perfect moment for consumers to find a great deal on quality home entertainment technology. Whether you're a fan of gaming, binge-watching your favorite shows, or belting out tunes, Sansui's latest OLED TV might just be the upgrade you’ve been waiting for!
