Bengaluru – September 18, 2020: Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, today announced the launch of a new range of MarQ Smart TVs powered by Android 9.0, ahead of the upcoming festive season. With this, MarQ by Flipkart has entered a segment that is fast gaining traction with Indian consumers in recent years. The MarQ Smart TVs have launched on Flipkart in 32” HD and 43” Full HD and 4K Ultra HD variants, at a starting price of Rs. 11,999.

The Indian Smart TV market is seeing exponential growth backed by increased internet penetration along with the rise of OTT consumption. A recent report by DAN India[1] on OTT content consumption showed that ‘binge-watching’ is at an all-time high in India, especially given the current circumstances and on an avg. millennials and Gen Z are consuming four hours of content daily. Understanding this need, MarQ Android 9.0 Smart TVs come with power-packed features including ‘Retina-Safe’ technology, which brings an intelligent custom tuning brightness to ensure minimal eye strain for any viewer.

Further, MarQ Android 9.0 Smart TVs come with new design features such as an elegant metal ribbon stand that occupies less space and gives it a premium and sleek look. Equipped with Dolby Audio, MarQ Android 9.0 Smart TVs have a total harmonic distortion of less than 1% (while most TVs typically have distortion levels as high as 7%) and maintain excellent sound quality even when playing at loud volumes so that consumers are not interrupted with shrill sounds. They also provide greater connectivity options to ensure hassle-free entertainment -- the HD variants consist of 3 HDMI and 2 USB ports, while the 43” Ultra-HD variant comes with 4 HDMI and 3 USB ports.

Dev Iyer, Vice President – Private Brands at Flipkart, said, “Customers look forward to the festive season with the anticipation of new products that add value to their lifestyles. Smart TV is one such segment that sees high consumer-interest during these months, especially now as consumers are mostly staying indoors. MarQ by Flipkart has always catered to consumers’ needs, and launching the new range of Smart TVs was a step in that direction. India is adopting a smarter and connected lifestyle and with MarQ Android 9.0 Smart TVs, they get an affordable option without compromising on quality, features, and aesthetics.”
