Best TVs under Rs 15,000 in India to buy in 2026

There was a time when you couldn’t even get a decent LCD TV under Rs 15,000. But fast forward to 2026, and this segment has become among the most competitive in India’s TV market.

The sub-Rs 15,000 segment has evolved in such a way that you can get TVs with smart platforms like Google TV, Dolby Audio support, and even QLED panels.

One thing hasn’t changed though: this is still a budget category, meaning you will mostly find 32-inch HD Ready TVs. If you are looking to buy one, here are the best TVs under Rs 15,000 in India.

One area where it shines is the interface. Xiaomi’s PatchWall works really well for universal search and quick access to live TV channels.

3. Croma 80 cm (32 inch) QLED Smart Google TV 5.0

Another TV that offers a QLED panel under Rs 15,000 is the Croma 80 cm (32 inch) QLED Smart Google TV 5.0. Croma’s offering does an excellent job at combining the visual advantage of a QLED panel with the software advantage offered by Google TV.

4. LG LR57 80 cm (32 inch) HD LED Smart WebOS TV

What makes a TV really enjoyable is the user experience, and WebOS nails that part, giving enough reason to feature the LG LR57 32 inch HD LED Smart WebOS TV in this list.

To top things off, LG’s LR57 features AI Sound Virtual Surround 5.1, AI Brightness Control, and Sports Alert, eARC support on the HDMI port, AirPlay, and Bluetooth Surround Ready. If you already have LG ThinQ ecosystem devices, this will simply supplement your other devices.

5. Redmi F Series 80 cm (32 inch) HD Ready LED Smart Fire TV

If Xiaomi has a budget Google TV, then Redmi has a budget Fire TV. If your budget is under Rs 15,000 and you watch Prime Video a lot, then we recommend you consider the Redmi F Series 80 cm (32 inch) HD Ready LED Smart Fire TV.

The Fire TV ecosystem is not only a great smart TV operating system but also an excellent choice for those embedded in the Amazon ecosystem. The built-in Alexa voice control is intuitive, while the 20W speaker with Dolby Audio handles sound really well.

You get two HDMI ports, two USB ports, Wi-Fi, and support for AirPlay 2 as well as Miracast, which is a bonus in this segment.

Best smart TV under Rs 15,000

The days of settling for a bare minimum TV even with a budget less than Rs 15,000 are truly behind us. The likes of TCL S5K and Croma QLED TV show that even a tight budget delivers an experience that cannot be illustrated by specs alone.

While TCL and Croma have an edge in terms of picture quality, Xiaomi and LG offer peace of mind in terms of after-sales support. If you are upgrading from an old CRT TV, then these models will feel like a massive leap, but if you are buying a second option, then choose user experience over hardware specifications.
