Imaging products company Kodak in partnership with Noida-based Super Plastronics Pvt Ltd on Thursday announced its entry into the TV market with five HD LED sets. The TV series (starting at Rs 13,500) consisting of 32-inch, 40-inch and 50-inch screen sets, will be available on e-commerce platforms Shop Clues, Flipkart and Amazon from August 15, the company said in a statement. The smart HD LED TVs (three models) have Wi-Fi, ARM Cortex A7 processor and runs on Android version 4.4. The TVs come with wide-viewing angles and have features such as ‘Progressive scan’, ‘YPrPb resolution’ and response time of less than eight milliseconds. For connectivity, the TV sets support HDMI, USB and VGA ports. Commenting on the launch, Mr. Avneet Singh Marwah, Director, SPPL said, “It is our endeavor to leverage Kodak’s legacy as one of the leading imaging companies in the world to drive its growth in the Indian home entertainment industry as well. Not only will KODAK branded TVs be a game changer in this segment but also set new benchmarks in terms of specifications, accessibility and affordability. Our association with Kodak will enable us to capitalize on the company’s global experience and knowledge. Interestingly, the Indian TV segment is currently undergoing a transition phase fueled by the aspirations of the youth in the country, looking for products and services which match their values and expectations. To give a perspective, in 2015, over 14.5 million TV sets were sold across India and over 83% of these were LED/ LCD sets. Furthermore, as a leading TV manufacturer in India we understand the pulse of our customers and look forward to a healthy response we foresee for our product range.” With inputs from IANS
