Last week a number of people got the cheapest TVs in SA.
I Doubt you can beat those prices....

"Under 6000"? More like "free"

Are these actually 4k or are they like the 1080p panels we saw a few years ago that were actually 720p and faked 1080p input?

These are real, the only suspect one would be the Sansui

And most had bigger screens than a puny 43”

But how is the software for these? I doubt that the OS will be useful 1-2 years down the line. The first Samsung Smart TV's got kinda left out when Samsung decided to roll with Tizen. LG started off with the WebOS flavour back in 2014? My LG smart TV is two years old, but still gets updates, still fast. The only problem I have, is the Showmax app (randomly crashes). Netflix and YT still works well.

You buy an external box and use that instead

No that's FHD.

 

[Deandbn]

No that's FHD.

HD =720x576
FHD = 1024x768
UHD = 1920x1280
4k = 3840x2160
8k = double 4k

Nope
SD=720x480/576
HD=1366x720
FHD=1920x1080
UHD is 4k.

Spot on, but UHD and 4K is a teeny bit different on the width
UHD is 3840 x 2160
4K is 4096 x 2160

Technically if you're looking at the professional side, but from the consumer side, they are basically the same.

Yup, it's only 256 pixels width difference
But the main thing is the 2160 vertical resolution.

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

Jissus and to think DVD is 720x576 here in South Africa, PAL
Worse in the states, I think the vertical is 480
That must look kak nowadays on our big screen flat tellys

 

[KikzAzz]

But isn't UHD 1920 x 1080?

No, that is full HD. UHD is double the resolution. 3,840 x 2,160
