I was always under the impression that Sinotec is grey imports "reboxed" in SA and Skyworth is regular Skyworth :unsure: I.E 2 separate companies in SA

No, its a sub brand specifically for the South African market.


Founded in 1988 and listed on the Hong Kong Stock exchange, SKYWORTH has become one of the top international high-tech corporations and is now one of the World’s Top 5 TV brands and the Top Brand in China’s domestic display market. In 2014, SKYWORTH officially acquired Sinotec in South Africa, and has since incorporated a dual brand strategy, positioning Sinotec as an entry-level brand, offering customers quality products at affordable prices, and SKYWORTH as our more premium, high-tech brand. Specializing in the manufacturing, sales and after sales service of LED TVs, fridges, washing machines and home audio devices, we have managed to secure a TV market share of around 15%, which includes 24 - 86” FHD, UHD, Smart, Digital and Android TVs. Our factory (trading as Best Made) in Hammanskraal has two assembly lines, one SMT line, an annual production capacity of over 300 thousand LED TVs, as well as the capacity to import completely knocked down components and populate TV motherboards ourselves. As the first to bring Android TV to South Africa, it is our goal to consistently bring the best in quality and latest in technology to this country.

Yeah bought six units (each with the R150 off takealot voucher that was doing the rounds recently) so got each at R313 which was a great deal.

There seems to be very little info available on Sinotec, but I am looking on their website to see if I can see anything.

It seems like this particular version doesn't run Android, and probably a proprietary OS so you would probably need to factor in a TV box as well to get some functionality out of it. I found a manual online but it is very spartan and only lists things like the dimensions, weight, etc.

I think someone said it is not a true Panasonic but a rebranded model, which is why there is little information on that model.

Apparently it is 'smart' but has a very limited app store ("ZEASN"), although the panel is allegedly true 10bit so who knows

What's the chances it's a 10bit panel and not 8bit with FRC?
Though it may not be a rebrand, it may just be an EOL product

It looks good for the price, if i didn't have to pay for my dogs surgery it would be really tempting.

Lol,
Thanks, and good luck with your dog. Mine has cost me thousands the last 2 years so I can sympathize.

My bonus is only end November, Hopefully they will still have stock.

They probably will by the looks of it, people are a little hesitant on Panasonic due to the past I guess.
Thanks, this year hasn't been great on pets, had to have one put down in July due to cancer, another one is old and needs regular check ups, and the freaking youngest one needs to go in for an op.

OT: why don't you get pet medical insurance? It's dirt cheap considering what vet bills cost.

It is something to look at, at the time I originally looked my two were too old and they still are. The other 3 i should look at for them, but the one won't get covered for the op tomorrow.

Edit: Just checked, pet insurance is not cheap, for accidental cover yes it's R77pm for accidental cover, for illness cover it's R300pm. Yeah I'll pay the 5k or so every 2 or 3 years. For all problems it's 650pm

Same as any insurance, it's not worth it until summing goes wrong and then you wish you had it. Wish I had a better plan when my Lil guy had his heart issues. Still going strong though :D

That's the thing, R650 per animal, I've got 3 dogs they'll cover, in the time period I've had the lab, she's gone in for one op that cost R5k, for the insurance I would've forked out 13k and they don't cover everything. I had a cat for 15 years, biggest expense was R15k when he got into a fight with a dog, the insurance on him would have cost me close to 100k over his life.

Samsung has some deals, the good ones mainly on the wearables. Been wanting to pick up a pair of wireless earbuds for a while now and they have some of the Galaxy Buds+ for a great deal so I picked up a pair.

My Galaxy Buds+ arrived earlier. Samsung's ordering process isn't great and they give you zero tracking info for shipping but they did ship it off quite quickly so I'm not too bothered about it.

The buds themselves are really quite excellent too.
