Wobble is one of the newer brands in the Indian market for TVs, among other offerings. The X series is Wobble's QLED series of TVs that come in 55-, 50- and 43-inch sizes.
Priced at Rs 37,999, I have been using its 55-inch model for a couple of months now, and here are my thoughts on its performance.
First impressions
The look and feel of the TV isn't very different from a budget smart TV today—you get a plastic build with slim bezels and metal framing.
The front has the Wobble logo at the bottom next to the bottom-facing small LEDs. The two stands are near the ends of the TV.
Coming to the back, the left side is where the power cord fits, while the right side has two USB 2.0 ports, one LAN port, an AV receiver and three HDMI 2.1 ports (including one with eARC support) with ALLM, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Picture quality
Coming to the 55-inch 4K (3840x2160) QLED display—with support for up to 120Hz refresh rates—it has its pros and cons.
While viewing angles and sharpness are generally pretty good, colour reproduction seemed a bit off many times. I tried all display modes while viewing movies, TV shows as well as live sports. However, every now and then, colours just seemed washed out and didn't appear appealing.
Not saying it should be as nice as something above Rs 1 lakh, but we have seen better colour tuning from TVs at this price range.
The Dolby Vision output is actually not bad at all as it does a decent job of handling content in Dolby Vision, as well as HDR10—regardless of whether the scenes in the movie/TV shows I watched were dark or well-lit.
Sound
The 80W stereo speakers are perhaps the best part about this TV. It's not every day you come across a TV under 40k with good speakers that can handle dialogue delivery and music playback when there are, say, 2-3 people watching and chatting in the background.
Indeed, its speaker set definitely does a good job of handling a small to medium room for personal usage.
Hardware
The plastic remote control with rubber keys is also fairly standard, offering multiple app shortcut keys, one long volume button, a power key, and so on.
The TV runs on Google TV based on Android 14, and is powered by DynamIQ dual processors, an IMG BXE GPU, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage.
The TV generally worked smoothly, and switching between apps or watching high-bitrate videos was not really an issue. It can stutter every now and then, but nothing deal-breaking. Attaching external storage devices over USB-A ports or using the HDMI display worked as expected.
Final verdict
All in all, the Wobble X excels in the sound department for its price tag—for both live sports and movie/TV series watching. While the Dolby Vision performance is decent on its own, colour reproduction is a bit of a hit-or-miss at times.
