Yes.So is everyone in agreement that the best 65 inch TV in SA for +-R20k is the Hisense A8h?
Even with inferior hardware to the US counterpart?
DSTV app on my Samsung is the most useless POS app ever... On my smaller Hisense TV it works perfectly. I think it must be DSTV itself or certain TV models it has some issues withKakste televisions ever. Or must I rather say DSTV Now, the app, is kak.
Hisense 55" U6G bought in January 2022.
Everything worked, but for the last few months DSTV Now is ****@d. Everything will play for a few seconds, and then it freezes. Have to press back on the remote and select the channel again. Plays for a few seconds or minutes and then freezes again. Rinse and repeat.
Clear the cache and all that ****. Did reset etc. Still the same. Cant uninstall the app, no app store. No updates available.
Everything else works (Netflix, Youtube etc.) without a hiccup.
So yeah, it is probably DSTV Now's fault with their shitty app, and not Hisense (although VIDAA) also k@k.

Imagining, it's basically a Hisense but running Android, the Hisense is R500 but is an OLEDToshiba? I remember reading some stuff saying it was rebranded junk - or am I imagining things?
Toshiba for bright viewing conditions where curtains aren't an option. Hisense for everything else.Toshiba? I remember reading some stuff saying it was rebranded junk - or am I imagining things?
Well, 2023 and the tv is still going strong.
general peoples viewing env is brightToshiba for bright viewing conditions where curtains aren't an option. Hisense for everything else.
Agreed. Most people also work on only watch in evenings and on weekends.general peoples viewing env is bright
My viewing area barely has the curtains open, but to be fair I actually don't use that TV as much, I tend to use the older ULED hisense in the main lounge more, as that's where the fireplace is and the family.Agreed. Most people also work on only watch in evenings and on weekends.
And purists tend to not mind using curtains.![]()
That's a lot of big ol windows, I don't think an OLED is going to be very happy there.65U8H R16k or 65A8H R20k in this room:

No windows in front of the telly. You can definitely get away with OLED. So impressed with mine’s brightness. Used to have huge windows and glass doors in front of it, with loads of afternoon sun.65U8H R16k or 65A8H R20k in this room:
