Anyone have an opinion on this? On promotion @ R3299 at Makro.

Looking for a smallish TV for a kitchen.

The brand and 1000:1 contrast ratio is a huge concern, but LED and Full HD speaks to me

Will mostly use for DSTV and an HD media box.

Would usually buy a Samsung or Sony, but it is hard to find the small sizes.
 
Nothing wrong with Sinotec. They use last generation Samsung/LG panels, and carry a 5 year warranty in SA.
 
Do you really need an LED for the kitchen, surely its just something you glance at every now & then :erm:
Don't tell me its going to be connected via RF

Keep in mind that those are monitors and not TV's. No speakers, no tuner etc. I may be mistaken, but Gatecrasher wants a TV.
 
Thanks for the input, guys. It would need to have RF, Pbyr, and HDMI inputs. Specifically a TV with tuner. It will ultimately go on a swivel wall mount.

I will go and eyeball it today, before I make a decision.

Oh, right - sorry.

He did say "HD Media Box" though.... :o

what's that gatecrasher? a home-made PC or a set like medi8tor/popcorn/etc ?

if it's a pre-built set you might be able to plug your dstv into it and output via hdmi? (don't know i don't have one)
 
At that size, Full HD is useless... Rather get a 32" HD Ready Sammy B350; around R3999...

Full HD is useless for that size, unless you're sitting within 1 m of it.

"LED" in this case won't make a huge difference.

The contrast ratio is pretty standard.
 
32" is just too big for the available space. 26" might be okay, though.
 
Went to Makro. It is a very slim, neat set, but with typical Makro efficiency, had a technical problem, and they couldn't/wouldn't show me a picture on it. No way I'm buying it if I can't see the picture.

Saw those at our local Makro - picture looks brilliant but the small size irks me - want something bigger for my bedroom.
