The Indian markets are flooded with many low cost smart TV’s here is one more Smart TV from Daiwa brand, the Daiwa 40 inch Smart full HD LED TV. This Daiwa TV review will give you a better idea about how this Smart TV performs.
Inside the box : When you buy any TV you will in most cases get free installation option, so better use that and don’t open the box yourself. Inside the box you will get the TV, wall mount kit, stands, user manual, warranty card, two remotes, batteries, USB receiver for remote and data cable.
Design
These TVs are manufactured in India at Greater Noida, via Daiwa’s own automated plant. Build and finishing is very good. This smart TV comes with two remotes – one looks like the traditional TV remote and the other is a smart remote that can be used to control TV as well as for input. This unique remote comes with a keypad on the back and it also has a built in battery that you can be charged via the micro USB port on the remote. Check video review at the end.
