My old Trinitron TV is showing signs of much earned retirement.

Now looking to replace and i'm wowed by all these things HD, LED, BRAVIA, smart TV e.t.c so much that I can't understand what to think of buying.

What advice would you give to someone who wants a reasonably priced high resolution and energy efficient model of a flat panel TV? One that is can receive the digital signal without the need for a chinese contraption called a set top box, 26 or 32 inch? Are these HD TVs able to work with kawaida DVD players or I have to buy a Blue Ray one?

Which particular model is good?

I got myself a sweet Samsung 32" Smart TV and it works well with my Phillips home Theater, no problems there!! However the price may not be so friendly...

Got at 45K thru a deal lakini at Nakumatt its almost 68K. Ukiwa na mtu AFCO just get a quotation from Nakumatt give the the cash to DoD then they prepare a cheque which you present to Nakumatt less VAT

Kama hujui mtu wacha kuwa spoil sport!!!

Thanks Vin. How much is that CX520. Is it an LED or LCD. Full HD or HD Ready? The technology of TV has changed so much that even the counter assistants at electronic shops do not provide understandable explanations to my questions. How do you tell if its digital?

@vin....You mean one can get a digital TV for 44K?As in one that doesn't need the setup boxes?Really?

That is very true Bro,it is a smart TV with all the hulabaloo of internet connection.

@bartum, the same applies for anything sold in Nakumatt

I also happen to own a CX520 and i have no complaints whatsoever. Funny thing is i didnt know you didnt neet a set top box till a friend of mine bought one recently and did a digital search. Anyway, I bought mine before the digital signal was available

With that Sony CX520, you can continue receiving the digital signal during the simulcast period. Otherwise when migration to DVB-T2 is done, you will have to buy an STB.
