Wonder if the tvs from jd"s was lasting?

[paid_influencer]

plenty people getting bad current and blaming it on the tv.

all of these new model tv need automatic voltage regulator (avr). without that you might as well throw away the tv now.

[hydroep]

^Not all eh. The cheaper TVs suffer the most because they scrimp on their power supplies (among other things) resulting in poor filtering and regulation.

[Chimera]

Just buy from courts and pay for the extra 3 year warranty. When it conks out, your warranty is on the amount of money you spent so you can just get a bigger tv a year after with the warranty.

^Not all eh. The cheaper TVs suffer the most because they scrimp on their power supplies (among other things) resulting in poor filtering and regulation.

The problem is often traced back to lower quality electrolytic capacitors in the power supply circuit. The plastics in the capacitors age prematurely because of the high humidity and steady 85° temperatures.

There is a shop in Port of Spain where the owner picks up throw away TVs, swaps out the capacitors and sells a working television.

Capacitors cost less than TT$1 each.

Had a vizio that the power supply board went twice. Befire it went the second time, bought another just like it fir spares, only to realize that power supply unit was the culprit as well.

Made a mistake with that JVC brand from pricemart. Not ever again.
Apparently is some knock off version from Panama. Has a motherboard problem and trust me there is no where you can get it online.

Apart from the power supplies
Many TVs get burnt leds which backlight
Tv has to be dismantled and the led replaced either the complete strip of individually

Have a panasonic big back tv in my room right now that refuse to conk out.....

[Blaze d Chalice]

The 'cheap' models of any Tv brand usually has some kinda drawbacks. (with regards to false advertising)

I mean if you just going to watch your ZeeTV and BET you mightn notice, or wouldn't care.

If you using it for computer monitor/editing and gaming you should do a proper research beforehand.

Doh just watch the fancy label saying 4K and HDR and think 'Yeah man I reach' because some are technically not.

She have that in her room and refuse to let go...my old man on the other hand ensures he has his 4k LG outside though...

[Ted_v2]

have a 42 LG prob years or so, bought in courts digital in gulf city. Never missed a beat.

Im disappointed in amazon sales, certain stuff like RGB ram is pretty cheap, Corsair selling their stuff cheaper.
alot of price drop on m.2 ssd ect,

i managed to grab a asipre 5 ACER for 249. Was previously for 349, still on sale for 309 tho.
rell bess unit.

[Spitfir3]

had a chance to look at some demo units at courts and idk if the tv needed calibration but the JVC picture quality didn't impress me at all, colors looked kinda dull and the overall screen look washed out and this was a 4k tv, in comparison the TCL 1080p they had looked a LOT nicer

can definitely see why people go for them though, inch for inch the price really attractive, relative small money for a big ass tv and the sales rep said all sold out

[matr1x]

it have bootleg tvs ? , well dise news to me , i know of regional only models not bootleg


as for pio decks : i highly doubt is bootleg , they are regional models , they usually have a 50 in d latin america model no but they usually almost equivalent to d usa models ... google to double check

if u seeing some odd sounding pio models its because they sometime come from Australia & singapore regions , they usually have less features , some no cd , no BT or no remotes which is how d price is cheaper

make sure & google or watch youtube ... plenty ppl getting chain up or impulse buying , from ever since in my store for over d past 13yrs i only carry pio decks usa models

[Rovin]

in trinidad pio decks is d most fightdown item in car audio , ppl doing underhand stuff & piping it with very minimal profit so i really dont stock much models of it because it not feasible putting out 1000 to make $50 profit ,,,,,, still feel free to pass een my store anytime ur in my area ...

Call your skybox company first just in case but they all have a list of hazardous things that you can’t bring in
