IndexMode: If you are in tight budget get any good tv and suplimet it with TV Box. Quality tv box like nvidia shield TV destroys any smart tv function. The only downside is not getting 4k resolution and 120hz refresh rate. I have my Nvidia Shied tv box is up for sale in case you need it.

BrickDevo:I dont think this is true unless you are talking about monitors. Or maybe they have old stock that they still ship down here to Africa. I have never heard of any announcement from Sony, Samsung, Lg, Panasonic, Hisense, TCL, and other big brands that has to do with non smart tvs for a long time now. From Flagship to entry level tvs, they are all smart tvs. The main issue here is many so called smart tvs here in Nigeria are wack tvs slapped with smart features with very poor picture quality and some other outdated hardwares. Like someone pointed out, some good non Smart tvs are even better especially with picture quality. I have a neighbour whose dumb tv is miles ahead in picture quality to his smart tv. For me, picture quality is what matters the most, and today the tvs with the best picture quality can only be found in certain models of smart tvs from the brands mentioned above. |

BrickDevo: lakefist post=1 27512691: What’s the essence of a buying a tv and also buying a box in this moden generation, why not buy a standalone smart tv? Are you going forward or backward in life ? The amount u buy a brand new dummy tv plus a good tv box can get u a good smart tv. Most modern newer tvs with new techs are smart Please show an online shop selling your so called non smart Samsung 4k UHD tv and its price , compare with the smart option, 55inch and above, im waiting |

Sofistcatdmoron: TV boxes project their own pictures via HDMI CABLE. TV not being smart doesn’t mean Dey don’t have quality pictures. There are many newer model TVs with no smart features and super great picture quality. People are even moving away from TVs and using projectors for home entertainment purposes. Do your research! |
Re: Smart TV Advice by Ournolly: 6:04am On Dec 17, 2023 |
lakefist:Picture quality is based on TV screen, 4k TV box cannot turn your TV to 4k resolution if the TV is just limited to full HD. 2 Likes |

I have a 55" FHD Samsung Smart TV and I still use it with an Android Tv box, you'd hate smart TVs when they start lagging and the software is never upgraded. No. 2 I can't sideload apps in a smart TV, I can't use yacine APK for streaming my live matches on a Smart TV, I can't sideload my IPTV pro with GitHub over 300plus free live channels on my smart tv. Abeg TV box make sense die, I've never used any of my smart tv functions since I bought it, only the Bluetooth. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Sofistcatdmoron: I know ur type. I really do. Who told you I can’t afford a projector? For me not using smart TV cos it’s a rip off doesn’t mean I can’t afford it. Stop spewing trash in the name of giving opinion. |

lakefist:No need to fight over this, I believe we all have a thing or two to learn from this topic. Back on track, obviously Tv boxes are the way to go in terms of features. If you check reviews very well, the best 4k Tv for 2023 according to value Electronics king of Tv awards is the Sony A95L. It scored most of its points when all the Tvs were paired to Apple Tv. Native Android apps like YouTube have been proven to look and feel better on Apple Tv and some other Tv boxes compared to the preinstalled apps on smart TVs. But you can't get such amazing experience from Apple Tv when you pair it with some low end or even mid range smart TVs, let alone old fashioned dumb Tvs with mostly HD ready or Full HD displays. To put this into perspective, you expecting to get good picture quality from dumb Tvs is like someone expecting to get same viewing experience when watching YouTube on a 2016 Full HD IPS LCD Android phone and a 2023 QHD Oled Android phone ( like Samsung galaxy J7 prime versus Samsung galaxy S23 ultra). 2 Likes |

Gptech: I totally get your point and exactly what I intended to put forward before the ‘know too much’ opinion started popping out. The original discussion was affordability between getting an outright smart TV or going with TV boxes. Someone asking such a question is definitely on a low budget and wanted something smart to enjoy for the moment. Most of the so-called smart TV brands apart from the well known brands only package normal HD TV with Android TV OS and sell for ridiculous amount. I have seen it even with the fake LG brand selling on Jumia and Konga. Instead of getting ripped off it is better to get very good dumb TV and a separate TV box with more scalable features. Even with TV box it doesn’t mean it can’t be paired with a smart TV. The present TV I own is smart but I refused to use the smart feature cos I prefer my TV box. |
Re: Smart TV Advice by Gptech(m): 4:50pm On Dec 18, 2023 |
lakefist:Yeah, it's clearer now. What you said about poor quality smart TVs is very true. These guys know that many if not most Nigerians are not tech savvy so they use any gimmick to sell their trash and make huge profits from us. The new selling point now for them is smart features just like phone manufacturers deceived Nigerians with big ram instead of good processors. Having said that, even with a thin budget, there are good smart TVs to buy instead of going dumb. My eyes are spoiled already, can never go back to full Hd tvs. 2 Likes |

Gptech: “… just like phone manufacturers deceived Nigerians with big ram instead of good processors” This got me laughing 😂 My eyes av spoiled too I still prefer TV boxes along with either smart or dumb TV. Ability to enjoy Netflix and other pay TV without paying is priceless. |
