Conventional wisdom says bigger purchases carry bigger expectations and a bigger risk of disappointment. Using Techarc InfiSights’ verified review data across 55 smart TV models, June 2025 to June 2026, mapped to the industry-standard screen size segments, the opposite shows up clearly: consumers of the biggest TVs in the dataset are the happiest of any segment, by a meaningful margin.
1. The Data
| Segment | Screen Size | Average Rating | Positive Sentiment % |
| Entry / Compact Segment | Upto 32 inches | 4.01 | 74.8% |
| Standard / Medium Segment | 32 to 45 inches | 3.80 | 70.3% |
| Sweet Spot / Mid Segment | 46 to 55 inches | 3.93 | 74.0% |
| Large / Premium Segment | 56 to 65 inches | 4.00 | 74.6% |
| Extra Large / Luxe Segment | Above 65 inches | 4.29 | 83.2% |
The Extra Large / Luxe segment posts a 4.29 average rating and 83.2% positive sentiment, comfortably ahead of every other segment, including the Sweet Spot / Mid segment at 74.0% and the Large / Premium segment at 74.6%. There is no smooth, gradual climb across segments either; the four smaller segments all sit within a tight 70 to 75% band, and then the jump to Extra Large / Luxe is sudden and sizeable.
2. It Is Not Just Picture Quality
If bigger screens only made picture quality look better, that alone would explain part of the gap. But the data shows nearly every single attribute scores higher for the Extra Large / Luxe segment, not just the ones related to the screen itself.
| Attribute | Extra Large / Luxe Segment Positive % | All Other Segments Positive % | Gap |
| Picture Quality | 90.6% | 82.5% | +8.1 pts |
| Value for Money | 99.1% | 95.9% | +3.2 pts |
| Sound / Audio | 87.6% | 81.7% | +5.9 pts |
| Display / Panel | 87.0% | 59.9% | +27.1 pts |
| Smart OS & Apps | 80.8% | 65.3% | +15.5 pts |
| Remote | 100.0% | 48.5% | +51.5 pts |
| Installation | 70.2% | 59.5% | +10.7 pts |
| After-sales / Warranty | 66.7% | 24.2% | +42.5 pts |
Display / Panel shows the widest gap among core product attributes, 87.0% positive versus just 59.9% for smaller TVs, and Remote and After-sales / Warranty show the largest gaps of all, though both rest on a much smaller number of mentions at this size and should be read as suggestive rather than definitive on their own. Even Value for Money, already strong across the category, edges higher still at this size.
3. Why This Might Be True: The Value Play Explanation
A closer look at which specific TVs sit in the Extra Large / Luxe segment adds an important nuance. Of the 7 models tracked in this segment, only 2, an LG QNED8G and a TCL C8K, are priced in the true premium range of ₹1,50,001 to ₹2,50,000. The other 5, from Xiaomi, Motorola, Hisense, Coocaa, and Foxsky, are priced between ₹63,999 and ₹69,999, solidly inside the ₹50,001 to ₹75,000 segment, and nearly all of them use Mini LED or QLED panels rather than basic LED.
In other words, a TV in the Extra Large / Luxe segment is not automatically a luxury purchase. Several challenger brands are using efficient panel technology to offer genuinely large screens at prices closer to the Sweet Spot / Mid segment, and buyers appear to notice the gap between what they paid and the sheer scale of what they got.
4. The Takeaway
Bigger screens are outperforming smaller ones on almost every measure of consumer satisfaction, and the likely explanation is not simply that more expensive TVs make people happier. It looks more like a value story: several brands are using efficient large panel technology to price Extra Large / Luxe segment TVs much closer to the Sweet Spot / Mid segment, and buyers are rewarding that gap between price and scale with some of the best sentiment scores in the entire category.
