Skyworth is quite good. In my opinion its specs and picture quality are the same as Samsung or LG

Looking at those prices on the samsungtech website, I can see that prices of televisions in Kenya are very high. Why is this the case?

True. And it doesn't make sense hata kama ni taxes since those in US, Uk etc also pay taxes.

I bought the telly at 74k and it seems to have gone down to 70k. The same model is currently selling at 63k at Amazon UK (RINK) and 45k at Amazon US (RINK). I think that this is quite unfair since incomes in the US and UK are much higher than Kenya while prices in Kenya are much higher. Even if the prices were uniform across the board, it would still be unfair to Kenyans due to their relatively lower incomes.

And it is the same with cars. A brand new 2014 Corolla is going for Ksh 1.4m in the US (RINK) which is nearly the same amount kenyans are paying for a 7yr old jalopy from japan. Meanwhile Toyota Kenya is selling a brand new corolla at Ksh 3.5m. Total madness!!!

No wonder we will always remain poor coz of low incomes and inflated prices of goods.

Settled for the 40 inch Samsung Smart LED at 74k. LINK.

The next size was the 46inch that was going for 109k, but i didn't want to spend anything more than 75k. Very impressed by the features/specifications.

People pay that much to watch news,documentaries and football?
I think the most i have spent on a tv is 25K


This is like asking why someone should spend thousands to buy a smartphone instead of buying a 999bob mulika-mwizi phone.


Why?The work of my phone is to call,send and recceive sms and mpesa.Why do i need a smart phone when I consider myself SMARTsmile

some consider tv as a medium of entertainment; you seem to consider it a tool. to each their own.

I used to think like you never thought of buying myself a smart fone. One day I decided to upgrade my lady s fone and she gave me her old smart fone and my life has never been the same. This thing is very addictive I find myself poking it, taking unnecessary photos, downloading funny apps. I spend a lot of money on data bundles, I can't stop it I need an intervention.
Politics is just things to keep the people divided and foolish and put your trust in men and none of them can do nothing for you...

These things are deemed luxury by our good government hence the higher taxes than in developed world where they are just basic goods.

Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la, and I'm also looking the LED way. Best deal seen so far is Skyworth LED 42'' @ 58,000 with a two year warranty. Anyone ever heard of this brand?


After scouring the length and breath of the City in the Sun, spent an afternoon at the Nakumatt Prestige audio shop, done BJ_Store in Adams Arcade, visited olx.co.ke, done the Garissa Lodge shuffle, finally settled on a walalo LG 42" LED along Luthuli Avenue at ksh 45K. Life is Good.

No it's "Life's Good"
The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

So juzi i discovered a way of linking my galaxy tab to the smart TV. This means i can now watch HD 1080p content accessed on the tab from the web on the telly. It's just amazing to watch 1080p HD documentaries and movies on the telly. The picture quality is like the one you see hapo nakumatt kwa Samsung display. And now my DSTV which transmits at 320p & 480p looks like crap compared to the 1080p HD content.
