Hi all.

Just thought I'd share some feedback.

I'm not much of a brand person, as in I prefer more features for lower cost, as opposed to paying more for a premium brand for less.

I've had this TV for about nearly 8 months now, bought it at Hi-Corp N1 city on special for R7000, marked down from nearly R10,000
At the time of purchase, I didn't know much about the specs, apart from the fact that it was an Android TV, and was HD, and had a 55" screen, and had a DVB T2 Tuner (that part I haven't used) All I was looking for was a Smart TV, with Android integrated so that I could run Kodi, and this suited my budget. Although the TV I had hoped for was sold out, so settled with this Skyworth.
It was only when I got home, when I realised, that this is actually a UHD TV, not just FHD, and the picture quality is outstanding with 4K picture quality, it comes with a Bluetooth remote, and is easily one of the best Sounding TVs, I've ever had.
The sound quality is incredible. With Kodi & Zerotier, I have linked it to my own Web based PVR, so can watch the BBC channels, and AUS/NZ channels and various others with no buffering, all from legitimate sources, and the picture quality is nearly as if I'm watching from a satellite dish, and decoder.


If you're on a budget, and looking for a new TV I highly recommend purchasing this TV. I was pleasantly surprised with the features it came with.
 
Also got that 55", not sure if exact model or not. But we've played XBOX/PS4 and stream all the time. Can't complain.

And hows it going? would you rate it just as good as the LG and Samsung TVs?

The few I have seen have had very good quality screens, not seen them side to side with LG or Samsung, but I doudt most will miss out on any thing significant.

The main thing you'll miss out on is OLED and maybe refresh rate depending on the model... But in that price bracket neither will be an issue if you're comparing apples with apples.

Jury is still out on OLED here, but taste differs. Good it is, but the bees knees, not so sure.
