Hyderabad, 16th January 2025 – BLACK+DECKER™, a Stanley Black & Decker brand setting the standard for design and innovation, in a licensing partnership with Indkal Technologies, is stepping into the television sector with an aim to redefine the way we experience entertainment at home. With a stunning 4-side frameless, cutting -edge smart functionality and a host of other intuitive features, the 4K TV promises to deliver an unparalleled viewing experience.

A Game-Changer in Design and Display

The BLACK+DECKER A1 Series Google TVTM is engineered to offer a breathtaking four-side frameless design—a sleek screen that maximizes the viewing area and makes every moment feel immersive. With a metal finish uni-body construction and a remarkable 98.5% visible area, this television delivers a truly cinematic experience that will captivate the user from every angle.

Equipped with an A+ Grade VA Panel, the TV delivers a jaw-dropping 3840x2160 ultra-high-definition resolution with a mind-blowing 1.07 billion colours. The powerful combination of HDR10 with HLG and Dolby Vision brings out the true beauty of your content, with stunningly lifelike colours and deeper contrasts. Whether it’s a blockbuster movie, a live sports match, or your favourite show, every frame is rich in detail.

4K upscaling, dynamic signal calibration (DSC), and micro dimming work in perfect harmony to optimize picture quality, transforming even standard-definition content into spectacular high-definition brilliance. The 120Hz VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and MEMC (Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation) allows users to enjoy buttery-smooth visuals, perfect for sports and action-packed scenes. Plus, super brightness ensures that the user can enjoy vivid colours in any lighting condition, while blue light reduction makes long viewing sessions more comfortable than ever.

Immersive Sound to Match the Visuals

The BLACK+DECKER TV delivers an immersive sound experience that matches its stunning picture quality. With 36W sound output and pro-tuned high-fidelity speakers, every sound comes to life, whether it is the deep rumble of a movie’s soundtrack or the crisp clarity of dialogue. The addition of Dolby Atmos transforms your living room into a surround-sound theatre, putting you at the centre of the action.

Next-Gen Smart Features with Android 14

The BLACK+DECKER TV isn’t just a display powerhouse—it’s a smart entertainment hub. It is bringing a completely intuitive and user-friendly interface to effortlessly navigate between favourite apps and content. Powered by Google Voice Assistant, the user can control the TV, search for content, adjust settings, and manage the smart home—all hands-free.

The AI Picture Optimisation feature automatically adjusts picture settings based on the content being viewed, ensuring that each scene is displayed in the best possible quality. The TV comes with pre-installed apps for Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, YouTube, and more, providing seamless access to a wide range of content. GoogleCast enables easy streaming from mobile devices, while Google Meet integration allows for video calls directly on the TV screen.

Superior Performance and Connectivity

The BLACK+DECKER TV is designed to deliver top-tier performance. With Dual Band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz + 5GHz) and Bluetooth 5.2 technology, the TV provides enhanced and reliable connectivity options that can support smooth streaming, gaming, and video calling experiences.

Equipped with HDMI 2.1 ports, designed for faster data transfer than previous versions, the TV enables low-latency performance for uninterrupted gaming and streaming. The TV also features USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, as well as an AV input, offering multiple options for connecting external devices.

At the core of the TV's performance is the powerful DynamIQ Dual Al Processor Architecture, which integrates A75 x2 + A55 x2 cores for seamless multitasking and responsive app loading. The IMG BXE GPU is designed to support enhanced graphics rendering for immersive visuals during movies, gaming, and more.
