Funai is a brand which isn't well known, but surely its picking up its market in India. Especially the led models are good and worth buying. Recently we bought a FUNAI LED 32FE502 at a price of 20,000 with free home theater set of F&D company and we even got a laptop bag by paying extra 100 Rupees as our purchase was above 10,000.
I would say the pricing is just perfect for Indian markets, as normally 32 inch LED comes for around 25,000/- that too without any offers and extra accessories.
The pricing is absolutely perfect for a LED, and getting home theater and laptop bag was icing on the cake.
I had read a poll on mouthshut by a user, and she wanted to know how is the brand FUNAI and how are the products by them.
Now let me discuss the basic deliverables that one expects:
Picture Quality: The Picture quality is quite good and nothing to complain about, and its does not discomforts the user. The strain level is less and better as compared to other LED, and less the strain better the viewing experience.
I would rate picture quality as 4/5.
Sound Reception: I feel this is the place where the LED lags a bit, as the sound reception is average, but not that low also. Its pretty descent and will be a problem for those who have have the problem of hearing. Although the sound is pretty descent and clear and recognizable. May be they could have given more options in this.
I would rate Sound Reception as 3/5.
Service and Support: Service and support is pretty descent but the service centers are less, but slowly and steadily the market of FUNAI brand is picking up in India. I've heard that this brand will soon be inaugurating many service centers in many cities. That's good news actually as this brand can be trusted more. The support staff is also very helpful and understands every customer problem
I would rate Service and Support as 3.5/5.
Value for money: My personal opinion is that its worth for the money that one pays, considering the fact that extra accessories like home theaters and laptop bags are given. Even if there are no extra accessories, I would still feel that its worth as the pricing is done very smartly. The Japanese technology has always been dependable and this one is no different.
I would rate Value for money as 4/5.
Dependable: As for now I have little doubts regarding the dependence on this brand as we haven't faced much problems with this brand, but so far so good. The way the FUNAI staff provided us with the support while delivering the product, it definitely seems dependable. But still fingers crossed.
I would rate dependability as 3/5.
General thoughts:
I would say that the wide angles are covered nicely and gives us good viewing angles and reduces strain too.
This brand can't be trusted by customer who haven't used FUNAI, but eventually I believe even this brand will hit the market successfully.
Multimedia like USB is also supported, but the main disadvantage in this part is that the LED plays selected files for video and supports all type of audio.
Operating the remote control is a big deal, and I'm still figuring a way out on how to operate it smoothly, as there are many buttons that seem void.
It has 1 Year warranty and can be renewed by paying some basic amount.
Its been 10 months since we are using this LED, and so far so good. And one more good thing that I appreciate about this LED is that its very sleek and stylish and not heavy too. When clamped on the wall, its seems very stylish and noticeable.
Conclusion:
This brand will surely pick up in Indian markets as all other Japanese products have, and I would say good efforts put by Funai.
I would surely urge and recommend people to buy this and if you have any doubts regarding this brand than u can m2m me.
On a whole I would rate this LED as 4/5.
Thanks for reading.
