Cheap smart tv

[sticky]

Looking at buying a cheap off brand smart tv from Lazada.

Would I be able to get youtube and Netfix on it?

Yes if you have a good internet connection.

Buy a non smart TV cheap brand and plug in a decent 2500THB valued Android box into it. Watch the whole world then. I did that with a 32 inch screen all for under 8400THB.

I would go that way too...the smart bit of the TV soon becomes outdated in many cases.

With a separate box you can update or replace just that bit if/when it becomes redundant or struck by lightning !

Smart T/Vs are very limited to the apps you can get, they are a waste of money, yep get a set top box.

Just make sure whatever TV you buy has plenty of HDMI inputs and a USB port for good measure

Definitely this

I grabbed a non smart 55" TCL (had very good reviews for the display itself) for about 11k off Lazada a couple of years back and paired it with an Apple TV 4, 3BB fibreoptic, an IPTV sub, Plex and a lifetime getflix sub (https://stacksocial.com/sales/getflix-lifetime-subscription), has worked perfectly and I have access to pretty much anything live or catchup.

Just remember that most Android boxes only stream Netflix at lower resolutions, so often the built-in Netflix app on a smart TV can be a better option.
