giddyup Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I'm a bit of a luddite, what should I be looking for, LED I assume? Don't want a Smart TV necessarily, do want HD though. Are they all pretty much the same in the 15,000 baht range?
shady86 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Look for UHD models, most of them are below 20k for 49 inch

WorriedNoodle Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Our next will be a FHD cheap TV without smarts to attach an Android box to. Probably a TCL or cheaper as they seem to be throwaway consumable these days. We have an older Sony 55,000THB, a LG 36,000THB LCD that just packed up on us and cheaper to buy a new better spec model than repair.
realenglish1 Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Yes i just bought a 42 Inch LG for under 10,000 baht from Lazada Thailand Go there If you find something you like then order it But use there COD Cash on Delivery option ITs the safest Took about 7 days to deliver to me I am very very happy with it So yes you can buy one for under 20,000

Some iptv providers broadcast in 4K and if you are a gamer the PS4 Pro has a 4K output. The LG 4K tv we have upscales 1080i to near 4K. I'd buy the largest screen you can afford. I'm already looking to go from 65" to 75".

Only want it for the bedroom, so 42-49 inch is more than big enough.

Ulic Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Lots of options on Lazada. Stop by a few electronic/home stores. Lots of options there as well. While not much is filmed or broad cast in 4k it will be coming. (mostly sports World Cup football, and Olympics) 4K TV's are really not much more than HD models. I prefer Samsung. I would not pay the Sony "name" premium. That said I really thing some of the lesser known "no name" brands are exceptional value and should not be dismissed out of hand. As far as I am concerned TV's are cheap as chips for what you get. Plenty of great quality options in your snack bracket. Just step into a couple of shops and have a look. If you are going to compare models from shop to shop Lazada snap a picture of the model number on your phone so you can keep things clear in your head.

Next step is to visit Numchai and have a look at what they have.
jacko45k Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 You may want to double check it has a digital tuner although this is becoming standard. Number of HDMI inputs too, it will depend how many things you will want to plug into it at the same time. (Cable box, DVD player,laptop etc). Tesco had some really good prices when I was shopping for one. Sadly when I got the cheap thing home the picture looked rubbish compared to my big, more expensive lounge TV.
