Hisense has generally good products. Their TV sets have displays that rival popular brands like Samsung.
And the brand has become increasingly popular in Nigeria.

Technology Market / Home Theater Reviews by BayoNath: 9:36am On Jun 24, 2020
Polystar 5.1CH Home Theater Review

Polystar is an indigenous brand that is growing in popularity among Nigerians.

This is because it is indigenous and because their products are usually affordable.

This home theater has a couple of appealing selling points which may be of interest to you.

They are:

It is actually solid. The speaker frames are made of metal. And when you inspect them, you can feel confident that the system would last.

The tower speakers are sleek and stylish. They would easily bring class to a room.

The home theater system has wonderful surround sound features that envelope you with realistic sound when you position the speakers the right way.
See this Lloyd home theater review to learn how to position your speakers.

Good quality subwoofer that gives you that smooth extra bass. Seriously the bass is good.

Has great Karaoke feature if you’re into Karaoke. I don’t know.

Has aux

AG-5050 Amstrong Home Theater Review
......


Amstrong is a very unknown Chinese brand. I’m sure you must have searched online for it.

Just like you, I wasn’t sure of the product quality for such an untested brand.

After observing it’s performance, these are the AG-5050 home theater's major selling points.

Nice surround sound features. The 5 surround speakers work well to create that 360° acoustic experience.

It has tower speakers that render far better sound production than most bookshelf speakers.

It supports wma audio format so if you are the type that has a small studio at home, you can use this system to test your raw recordings.

Very low distortion. The distortion is 0.7 % at 9 w. So in other words, your human ears will never notice any fuzzy or grainy sound from this home theater no matter how high you raise the volume.

Rockview 3.1CH Home Theater Review

Rockview is a Chinese brand that has no presence online. So it’s impossible to look them up and learn about their products.

This of course made me skeptical about this Rockview 3.1 channel home theater system.

But I have come to notice that this sound system has a couple of undeniable selling points.

It is affordable. On a lucky day you could find it for under 20,000 naira. This is probably one its most appealing qualities.

It has nice connectivity features. You can connect it to virtually anything. Your TV, DVD player, game console, laptop e.t.c… It’s not easy to find a cheap sound system that has good connectivity.

It has good sound too. The sound clarity is not 100% but..

Djack DJ-L2 HIFi Review


This Djack HIFI system is all about that bass. You like loud? You want to hear those bangers on repeat while your apartment vibrates?

This HIFI system will give you that smooth acoustic experience. Just check out it’s selling points:

Solid subwoofer. The bass is the real deal like boom boom boom. The subwoofer is manufactured with quality stamped iron that is strong enough to withstand vibration, minimize acoustic resonance and deliver that smooth bass.

Works on low voltage. Sound systems love to suck power. So the fact that this Dj-L2 HIFI system can work with low voltage is a huge plus.

It supports even Wma format in addition to Mp3. So it would play even a recording from Windows Media player

It has very low distortion. In fact with a distortion reading of 0.3%...read the full review https://jumia-electronics-reviews..com/2020/06/super-loud-djack-dj-l2-hifi-system-can.html

Science/Technology / Polystar Double Door Fridge PV-DD202L Could Be Great But by BayoNath: 4:32pm On Jun 14, 2020
Polystar as a brand has gained popularity in Nigeria because it is an indigenous brand, their products are cheap and we Naija people have a soft spot for cheap stuff.

And to be fair, they have some good quality products.
Be that as it may, this fridge has some selling points which include:

It uses pure copper coil for the evaporator. This is a true sign of quality and most freezer/ fridge experts believe that appliances that have copper coils instead of aluminum tend to last longer.

It’s true in a way. Although I’ve seen fridges with aluminum coils that last for several years too.

But the fact that this fridge has pure copper coils and is still more affordable than an LG fridge is a great selling point.

It cools very fast and the freezer compartment freezes fast too. Put stuff in this fridge and it would get chilled within an hour.....

That it needs a TV box to make it look like smart means ITS NOT A SMART TV. Call a spade a spade and stop deceiving people. Why would u call a TV smart TV and it's clearly NOT. Any tv with HDMI connection would access the internet when u plug a tv box into it. Is it safe then to call all tv smart TV?

Yes it is safe...so long as one has a TV box wink

Deceit comes in if I tell them that the TV is smart and they buy it without knowing that it needs a TV box. Now that would be evil.

You're fun bro. For real. And I want to thank you for this convo because it has made me realize that I should balance my reviews to appeal to both technical and ordinary audiences.

So thanks.

Oh, so u decided to lie for marketing reasons. Now I get u. So in a nutshell the tv is a rubbish tv, all u wrote was just for marketing lol. U have done well, and this proves I'm right in what I said. If u could give a tv with no single smart features whatsoever 5/5 stars for smart features, how many stars then would u give a tv that can mirror ur phone screen even without internet connection? How many stars would u give a tv that actually have smart features? I pity the people that would jump to buy this thrash through ur review.

There's no lie when I clearly stated in the the post that you need a set-top box for it. Anybody that read the post knew that they needed to get a TV box to make it smart.

Everything about the TV is transparently stated. To prove my point one reader even commented that he won't buy the TV because my review has shown that it's not what he needs.

In fact to prove that the safety of my readers is of utmost concern to me, I removed my affiliate link for selling the TV once a few readers complained of faults. Even though the unit I had was working perfectly.

Quit trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. That it needs a TV box does not make it trash.

The only fraud here is you who criticized it without knowing anything about it. In fact the little you know about this TV now is from interacting with me and reading my review.

So you're welcome.
Technology Market / Re: Looka 32 INCH TV Review by BayoNath: 11:51pm On May 17, 2020
Lol you're trying really hard. So it's now you finally visited the blog.

Then to save yourself you've jumped from the OLED argument we were having to the TV's smart features.

I hate repeating myself but I wrote the review for a non technical audience.

There was no need for technical jargon. It's meant to show the benefits of using the TV. And all the important specs are listed there.

Also there was no need to state the model because it was a standalone flagship model. As I stated in the blog post, it was formed out of a partnership between Haier and Samsung.

But of course you didn't notice that because you were desperately looking for something to use to save face.

Your whole Smart Tv talk is pointless. Any sensible person knows what I did is a marketing ploy to introduce a set-top box in my post for promotion.

And it worked well.

Lastly, this review has sold 20 Tv units since 2018 when I wrote it.

I had to remove Jumia's link when a few readers complained to me that their units were developing lines.

Just like someone advertising a phone claiming it has 3 days battery life, vibrant display and very fast without giving the battery capacity, display type, resolution, CPU and GPU.
They say if you want to hide something from a black man, just write it down.

The piece I posted here was just a snippet of the review. Which is why I placed a link to the full review.

You clowns didn't read the snippet and obviously didn't read the review if not you'll know that I mentioned the specs.

I don't even have anything to prove. This looka TV review is an old post on my blog and is very popular with my readers.

I just wanted to revive it by getting backlinks.

If you even read the review, I didn't exactly endorse the TV. I just explained what it's like to use it.

And if you've never used a product before don't criticize it. Just relax and hide your ignorance.

I am not saying it is a special resolution, you probably tested your TV with a blueray player as most of people selling electronics do, a buyer will now view same TV at home on a standard resolution and be wondering where all the sharpness and vividness went to
It's ok. The point is that Looka TV has a crystal clear display which is shocking for a TV of it's price range.

I didn't have to use a blueray player since I play straight from my flash drive. So that your point is moot.

And yes it doesn't have an OLED display. I never said it did. Let's just let the matter rest.

Penuelseun:
You are the one who is just talking, 360p and 420p is still watchable on a Fhd screen as a good TV will upscale it, something which your looka can't do
Even my old Sony Bravia Tv can upscale 360p movies. There's nothing special about that.
I pointed out your 360p comment because you were making it sound like one special resolution like 4k or something.

Oga let's call a spade a spade, have you tried watching a 360p or 420p movie on it, pls do and then come back and tell us how it went

360P?? 480 pixels by 360 pixels. You know that's a very low resolution right? It will even look blurry like 3gp on larger screens like Tv screens.

I mean even ordinary smartphones can render that. Nevermind.. now I know you're just talking.

I don't think the Op has seen an Oled TV before, you can't even compare this looka with a Fhd TV not to talk of Uhd before going the way of Oled
I think I'll stop replying after this point. Yes OLED display is magical. Anybody that knows about display qualities knows this.
By comparing the LCD display of this TV to that of an OLED, I was showing how good the display is for it's price.
It's like calling a good local player the Messi of Nigeria. It does not mean he's as good at Messi.
I don't just hype. Like in my UKA TV review, I made it clear that the display was pure crap because it is.
You guys should stop missing the point or trying to sound savage.

bro,
dz shouldn't even be argued.

dz ur looka should be compared with brands like synix,bruhm,i-tec & co.

tcl is far better than it
Correction...TCL is more popular than it. Comparing fellow new brands like Bruhm to Looka does not make you sound smart.

It just shows that you're among the fakers who condemn a product they've never used.

You're just hyping TCL because you heard it's very popular in the US.

And that's the difference between us. As a product analyst, it's my job to know products and not just read about them.

Since u know ur tech, then u should have at least mentioned some technical information about the display of the tv, instead or just saying it's 'similar to oled'. U know that sentence is vague for such a TV. What's the resolution of the said tv? What kind of upscaling does it do? What kind of HDR does it do (that's if it supports any), what video formats does it play, what audio formats does it support (dts, Dolby, etc).

I get what you're saying. And it would be applicable if I was writing this article for a board of examiners or TV enthusiasts.
But my audience comprises of normal people who may not be techies. They're curious about a cheap tv and want to know if buying it would benefit them.
Even though I listed it's specs (which you don't know because you didn't read the review) there was no need to go into specifics. It's not a thesis, it's a sales copy.
There's no need for me to include info they've already seen on Jumia or any product description page.
This is simple copywriting 101.

I don't need to use it to know it's crap (well it's cheap so it serves its purpose). Do u even know it's technical details? I know more about tv than just turn it on and watch Africa magic on it. For someone like u there's no difference between a tecno pouvoir and Samsung s series display, but for people that know, it takes only 2 seconds to know one display is wack while the other is top class. U no even see other lcd panels to compare it with na OLED u dey mention. Do u know how much it costs to make an oled display?

Did you even read the review or my other reviews? Yes it's display is not OLED. Congrats you know your display terms.
I was using a figure of speech to show how good the display is considering the price.
The TV was just about 37k at the time. If you noticed I used the word similar and 'crisp'.

My point is when it comes to tech, I'm an expert. Read my Iphone 11 review to orient yourself and quit criticizing a product you've never used.

Looka against TCL? Bros what drugs are u on? TCL that is currently the top selling tv brand in the US.
This is exactly what I always try to explain to my readers. Just because something is popular does not mean it's the best.
It may just be superior marketing.
That's how iPhone 11 was so hyped but it turns out that it can't handle the stress of a busy WhatsApp TV like Samsung Note 10.
Take it from me that has experience with the two, TCl 32 inch TV and Looka 32 inch TV are very similar.
Don't just look at the flashy stated features to make your opinion.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with this TV but it's possible you were just unlucky and purchased a bad product.

I'm saying this because there are several others including me who have used it for close to two years without issues.

Even brands like LG and Samsung have products that develop lines.

There are many reasons for this and I've covered it in one of my posts.

First thing I noticed about the freezer was the silent operation. It has an efficient compressor which performed well even under stressful conditions like low voltage for example.

Read this Nexus 100L Freezer Review [url][/url]



The interior light is still working and it’s been almost a year. As trivial as this seems, I’ve used some freezers whose lights go bad in less than two months.



This is a chest freezer so as expected; I haven’t noticed any freezer burn on food products because it doesn’t automatically defrost like upright freezers.



As a matter of fact food remains frozen for up to seventy-two hours after loss of power supply.


That is provided you don’t open the freezer more than once or twice.



Apart from the fact that it doesn’t self-defrost, it also has the fast-freeze feature. I’ve noticed that it takes within one to one- and- half- hours to freeze foodstuff including the ones at the top.


And it freezes from the bottom to the top. Any Freezer enthusiast would understand how important this is.



Another impressive aspect of this Bruhm product is its easy clean feature.


The silver walls do not retain stains like blood stains from meat. There is no need to use sponges and soap when a wet foam would suffice.



Does This Freezer Guzzle Power?

This chest freezer has a power consumption rating of about 400w. Depending on your taste, this could be okay. But for a freezer I’ll say that it is pretty energy efficient.



If you can’t picture what a rating of 400w means, I’ll explain...read the full review here [url] https://jumia-electronics-reviews..com/2018/08/all-you-need-to-know-about-bruhm-200ltr.html[/url]

Display

It’s got a crisp display. When I say crisp, I mean although it’s just an LED TV, it gives visuals similar to that of an OLED.



Considering the price, I find the display quite satisfactory. The display does not blur during fast moving scenes which shows that the TV has a great refresh rate.



Also the viewing angle is adequate for its size. You don’t notice any fading at the sides even if you watch from an angle.



Overall, I’ll give the Display 4.5 out of five stars. It doesn’t get five stars because it dims a bit when the current is low.


Although to be fair, this dimming is probably due to its power saving feature.


Thinking of getting a new generator to power your TV? Read this Elemax 7.6 kva review. https://jumia-electronics-reviews..com/2020/04/elemax-generator-review-jumia-online.html



Sound
If you hope to pull your street down with sounds from this TV, I’ll advice you to get a stereo. The volume is not so loud.


That’s normal with flat screen TVs these days. There is no space for big speakers.

Also it has an auto volume leveler that helps to regulate the volume for safe hearing.


I once had a Sony TV that would start making a buzzing sound once you use it past a certain volume.



Naturally, this was one of the first things I checked for. This TV renders smooth sounds at any volume without delivering any annoying buzz.
