75" of pure entertainment...yes please! Hmmmm...

Then again...has anyone bothered to calculate the per inch cost of flat screen TVs...

55 inches of 3D HD LED TV @ R12999 = R236.35 per inch...

75 inches of 3D HD LED TV @ R70000 = R933.34 per inch...

Yes you can talk to it... but how smart is it really?? Can't even make a cup of coffee!

But the sound quality sucks, so it's a tradeoff. It's essentially a PA system.

I always look at the cable going to the speakers on those systems and laugh. Take a look behind the speakers next time you're browsing...
