Has anyone had experience buying from New Age Group?

They have some really awesome TV specials this month, like a 65" JVC for R9999 or a JVC 55" curved for R7499

Thats cheaper than most places, would be great if they're legit

Edit: they dont supply the model number which worries me a bit
Edit 2: How come JVC TV models in South Africa are not on any international JVC websites?

+1.Nutec/JVC in SA is manufactured by a bunch of lying thieves selling inferior chinese stuff under well known old brand names.

Serious....no wonder its no where to be found on JVC global websites



Geez, what makes them sh*t? Hisense is a chinese brand right?

Hisense makes some excellent quality these days,some of their high end models get better reviews than Samsung even,yes they are a Chinese company but they actually have a manufacturing plant here in SA where our TV's come from.

It's rebranded, i had one, one was a rebranded konka and another was a rebranded Toshiba, the konka was really good but let down by the android os.

The one from Toshiba is rubbish, I think they changed the panel, everything is washed out. It has a modded Google play store so can't be updated.this is ones they are selling currently.

It's hard to which makes the TV before you buy it, it's best you avoid it, rather get Hisense, Sinotec, Skyworth

Stay away from the JVC. I bought a 48" Smart TV, I had returned it in less than a week, due to bad pixels.

Swapped it for a 55" Sinotec, although the Android OS is a huge let down, due to the lack of a Google Play Store, I have connected an Android box, and I must say I am completely satisfied.

Thanks for all the updates guys, didnt think that JVC would let them sell TVs under their name like this.

A bit disappointed actually, had an old JVC TV from the 90s that still worked at my parent's house, guess its not the same thing at all.

I'll look into Hisense then, never too keen about Korean brands though, feel they're a little over-rated

Good, that's why you have fools like us who purchase the products so we can telling you whether to buy it or not.

Regarding the hisense comment, it's not Korean, it's Chinese, if I've misunderstood that comment please let me know

Hi, I'm not the original poster but I do remember When the topic came up, your website was under construction and you had an advert on the main page.

Similar to this one you currently have on the website.

I can assure you we are very much legit and been around for quite a few years. all our products are covered by manufacturers warranty and we honor our warranties. New Age Group does not manufacture JVC, we sell the products just like the major retailers. the items we sell are the exact same as what is sold by major retailers.

We are not and never was part of any Gupta company, WE are New Age Group NOT THE New Age news paper that used to belong to guptas.
