Thomson Oath Pro 55 review: Miserable barebone Android-certified smart TV

The Thomson Oath Pro is one of the three Android-certified smart TVs launched by Super Plastronics, the brand licensee for Thomson in India. It comes with both Dolby Vision and HDR10 support, a combination rarely seen in budget TVs. It also has Google Play Store for TV, Chromecast and Google Assistant all built in. The Thomson Oath Pro is available in 43-, 55- and 65-inch screen variants. I reviewed the 55-inch, which has thin screen bezels with a rose-gold strip at the bottom. Its I/O ports are easy to access even if the TV is wall-mounted. A minimal, functional design.

The TV has a 10-bit LED panel of a UHD 4K resolution. The panel supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. It has a rated brightness of 550 nits and contrast ratio of 500000:1. The panel is glossy and has 178-degree viewing angles.
