Cheap TV Brands

[111prez]

Hmmm saan yung shopna yan bro?

Dito sa may Santa Rosa Heights, Tagaytay-Balibago Road.

Long time suki na namin ang shop na ito for repairs of home appliances (vacuum cleaner, coffee brewer, etc). Pag hindi na maayos o ayaw na namin ipaayos, binibigay na namin sa shop na ito para at least mapakinabangan pa nya mga piyesa.

Acheche land far, far away pala hehe. Ano name ng place & landmark near? If ever I’ll be in the area, masilip ko. Thanks!

An electronic repair shop near our place is selling refurbished TV sets. Brands include Samsung but I suspect that the internal parts are no longer original replacements. Be that as it may, it is cheap (Php3,000 for a 40 incher I think) and with a 1 year warranty from the shop. Not bad a deal, IMHO

if i needed one,
and this item is in decent physical condition naman,
and works as designed,
i'd get it.
my needs are simple. i don't need to see the actors' skin pores naman.
32 is fine. 40s is ok. 50s is too big for the area i'll put it on.

first thing i'll do when it gets home, is to have it sanitized DIY using 70% alcohol.
and don't forget the remote!
heh heh.

singko dalawa ang tv

pero bawal magkasakit

hehe

bakit ang mura ng TV ngayon

kasi may kalaban ang TV

many people watch content on phones

--

di pwede siga mag presyo mga TV manufacturer ngayon

1st, there are more TV manufacturers than ever before

2nd, many people aren't buying TVs

meron naman phone / tablet / laptop / desktop

[uls]

3rd, TV manufacturers can make money from something else --> preinstalled apps

since most TVs now are smart TVs

app developers pay TV makers for installing the apps

TV makers also make money by selling advertising space on the apps

TV makers also make money from data collected from users

kaya halos pinamimigay ang TV ngayon

in the old days printer manufacturers sell printers at a loss to make money from ink cartridges

the cheap Skyworth 32" TV in the kitchen just lost its backlight. probably just needs a backlight driver board but it's a hassle to fix but instead of getting another $hitty TV with garbage TN panel i went for a computer monitor instead. AOC 27" with IPS panel. P6600 only. it's quite big for a 1080p so the pixels are huge but that's OK my chromecast is 1080p anyway

Also TV prices fell have China and SKorea brands to thank for. Prices during 2010 when Japanese brands still dominated the market were quite high. Nowadays there's only Sony though it's screen are not even Japanese that's wholly Japanese owned that's left in the Market.

Samething happened with Android smartphones and soon with cars...

Pleasantly surprised that TCL upgraded my pre-pandemic TV's firmware from plain Android to AndroidTV. I lost hope na may update sya kasi based on the FW version it looked like a PH branch that will never be updated. New FW fixed a lot of bugs and performance improvement is very noticeable.

yung 55" skyworth namin ay napalitan na ng board (7K pesos) pero ngayon hindi na pwede sa netflix. ewan ko kung kailangan lang ng firmware upgrade para gumana.
di na kami bibili nitong skyworth brand.

maigi pa yung mga Devant namin hanggang ngayon wala pang mga issues.

Devant and TCL seems worth it for the affordable brands.

Best alternative sa Sony, tingin ko is TCL, kapag dito ka sa Pilipinas.. Sony, TCL and Hisense ang merong Google TV..
At kung physical store ka bibili either Abenson or SM, sila makakausap mo sa warranty (replacement for brand new).. Maayos yung mga updates ni TCL sa user interface nya.. Kaya kahit luma na ang model, mabilis pa din ang performance, baka dahil sa partnership nila sa Google TV..

"We are excited to partner with TCL to bring Google TV to customers around the world. Google TV is a more helpful and delightful TV experience that helps users find the content they love," said Shobana Radhakrishnan, Senior Engineering Director, Google TV.

Next size is 43" and all smart tv so I am choosing among Hisense, Devant and Skyworth. It will be used with regular cable TV and maybe will learn how to use Netflix? Which is the most durable brand?

Devant seems to be a reliable brand based on how many I see using them.

Thanks. I watched reviews on Smart TVs and now I am thinking if I should just buy the exact same regular LED because my Mom only uses cable TV so she might get confused with a Smart TV?
