Speaking of features, all the TVs boast of Dolby Vision, HDR 10, and HLG covering a wide spectrum of HDR standards. The TVs also come with a wide colour gamut, to give better colour reproduction on the TV. The bezels on the TV are quite thin, giving viewers 15 per cent more screen.

The remote control that comes with the TV not only has the voice assistant button but also comes with dedicated keys to access Netflix, Prime Videos, YouTube and Google Play.
Coming to connectivity, the TV supports HDMI along with ARC, Bluetooth 5.0, and USB 3. The Kodak Android TV boasts of a 60Hz refresh rate and MEMC.
