Should I get a Skyworth 32 Android TV or a cheaper TV with a android box?

Get the android box. You can do much more with the box, with the TV you are probably stuck with the apps on it and cannot load more apps.

If you do go for the android box look at the Emetic box, much better than Xiaomi in my opinion.

Since you looking at HD TVs id suggest you get a Mi Stick

Check this out on takealot: Xiaomi Mi TV Stick (Google Certified | DSTV Now & Netflix)

Currently on special for R699

Its a decent Android version - 9.
Not sure if its certified for Netflix in HD though. Hmm, its not even an HD panel - Firm NOPE!

Forget the Sinotec "HD" ready. Thats code for "kak screen" aka 1366x768 ancient panel (similar to the Skyworth).

Need a 32" panel though due to space constraints in my room. Can't find a 32" TV that's FHD in that size.

I've been looking also recently, I want to make a pinball build for my dad with an HD display.
All I can find are crap panels. We're just the dumping end of unsold garbage now in SA.

I got myself an Mi S Box 4K second hand for 699 It’s in very good condition so I’d say get yourself a box instead of a smart tv get yourself a decent FHD tv instead I’m thinking of getting myself a bigger TV and selling my 40” Hisense
