overherebc Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Anyone out there got suggestions for a 65" tv but NOT a 'smart' tv. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I think it might be hard to find one without the "Smart TV" bit these days the "dumb" ones are often only a few hundred baht cheaper anyway. You can use a "Smart Tv" like a "dumb" one just add an Adroid box,Firestick,AppleTv etc etc to one of the HDMI in ports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to steer clear of the 'everything sent back' to the maker etc syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why ? plenty of Android TV - 4K - 65" about, from 17,000 baht up. feel sure I saw them in SALES from 13.xxx baht so dirt cheap Bought a Smart TV a few years ago, hopeless so never used the smart bit, back then Android were rare, had to buy a new Android box to get what I wanted.

Jai Dee Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Powerbuy has a special on at the moment for an online order of the Hisense 65 inch 4K UHD LED TV at 16,498 baht. See here. A neighbour of mine bought one recently and has connected it to an android box (running Kodi) and his 4K home theatre AV receiver... awesome picture and sound. He's really happy with it. /Edit: I forgot to mention that the price includes free installation. Edited August 28, 2021 by Jai Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the HDMI ARC connection (which sends the audio "upstream" to the AV receiver) when he casts YouTube video to the TV from his phone, he doesn't use any of the other "smart" functions of the TV. HDR is automatic. He simply turns it on and all other controls are executed via his android box. BTW, HDMI 2.0a cables were also needed in order to support HDR (from android box to TV and from android box to AV receiver). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The why was to 'You can use a "Smart Tv" like a "dumb" one just add an Adroid box,' so why ? as you can buy most TV's these days with Android, why would you buy a Smart TV and then add a Android box ?

Many thanks Never had a Android TV, had a few Android Boxes, the then older Android 5 needed replacing. also needed a new TV, replaced the TV as was told did everything, [no box needed] found out later the New Panasonic TV was Smart - or not so smart for my use, did not do everything so had to buy a new box anyway..

Great concept but poorly implemented in most cases, most likely due to legalities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinny41 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Suggest to check TV reviews here its fairly easy to work out Thai model numbers from their US model numbers for 4K the viewing distance from the TV should not be more than 4.ft https://www.rtings.com/tv Also you need to consider where you sit some TV's have poor viewing when watching from an angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if budget doesn't matter just buy the most expensive 65 "/4K TV you can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
