I have also seen numerous reviews and comparisons where they are highly recommended for value for money.

I mailed them some time ago and the response was:
"Unfortunately, we don't have an international sales department at this time. We are currently focusing on taking care of Canada and Mexico before expanding into other regions/countries."

Hi guys,

I am looking at getting a tv for the bedroom. Budget is no more than R5k since I want to get a TV for Xbox-gaming, etc as well. :)

On the TV for the bedroom, I will be watching downloaded content, maybe DSTV SD, etc. I am not too brand fussy for this TV, but want best bang for the buck. I must mention, I only have 1m to fit the the TV in. So I guess 42" / 43" is pushing this.

Any suggestion?

hisense at esquire going for quite cheap
 
Was very upset today: a friend visiting the US found a 70" LED for $1400. They get all the good stuff at decent prices!
 
Hi guys,

I am looking to buy a tv that will be used for gaming (xbox one and wii), watching downloaded content and streaming. My budget is currently about R10k. Viewing distance is about 2,5m-3,5m.
I have googled quite a bit, but can't find most tvs in SA or cannot afford them.

I currently have a Samsung 51e550 plasma. I am considering using it for the gaming and getting tv for main lounge. Main lounge viewing distance is 3,5m-4,5m. The main lounge have very little sunlight. The "Games" room, have alot more. Most windows have curtains except for a sliding door going out to a sun room.

Any suggestions?

I'd suggest keeping your plasma for the main lounge (dim), and getting a LED-LCD for the games room (potentially brighter).

Otherwise try go for another plasma if you are happy to use curtains. Remember that in a few months, you won't be able to get them. Prepare to take a picture quality knock going LCD, seeing as you're used to plasma.

PM Postman, due to his interest and activity in this thread he would be the best person with advice and is probably the most up to date member re tv's.

There is no such thing as "LED" or an 'LED TV'. They are LCD TVs with LED backlighting. Plasma is superior, usually by a country mile for those with a trained eye who are interested in the best picture quality. Plasma is best for dimmer viewing conditions, while LCD is better for bright viewing conditions.

Personally I would stay away from Hisense. Go into the store and compare the Samsung/LG/Sony menus to the Hisense and Sinotec menus... Enough to put me off without even comparing picture quality.

Branded sets also have much more capable USB HD media players and/or SMART functionality.
