Samsung TV vs Sony Internet TV ?
by William Muriithi 29 Aug '12

> @William, > > You may also know that Samsung makes most of the component for the iPad. > But that doesn't mean the Samsung Galaxy is better than the iPad. > > It is not about who makes the best LED TFTs' but the best television. Hmm, that an odd statement. You aware 90% of that TV is LED? > A LED TFT is now a commodity anyone from Samsung, LG and Foxconn can make. A lot go into buying a product so you have a point. That said, what sell apple stuff is software and packaging, every other hard work is done by others. That doesn't apply to TV. You just have a brand and electronics. As for LED being a commodity, I am going to disagree. They have most of the patents, economy of scale and best quality. This being a high capital industry, that's not going to change soon and should be a little scarcely. Why do you think apple is stuck with them despite the strained relationship? That shouldnt happen with a commodity. I will concede to being wrong if apple manage to avoid them completely in the next three years William >

Samsung TV vs Sony Internet TV ? And any Google TV soon ?
by TheBigBoss 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Hi, I want to buy an Internet TV... Last year, I had a look at the Sony TV, but I wasn't really convinced... then I heard about the Samsung TV but I haven't tried it... then heard about the Google TV (which is not available yet) and after doing some searches I found out you can even purchase a buddy box that sits between TV and decoder. Now, big question, should I go for the Samsung TV or wait for the Google TV or buy the Google Buddy Box? Please share your experience. Thanks

DSTV program repeatition
by Felakut Theo 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Hello Skunks, Am ignoring the fact that DSTV pays copyright rights to air all the programs we watch. But how many times are they supposed to be repeating these programs considering every month i pay for a package and my surprise is i watch same programs over and over again. I enjoy supersport though but on a bigger picture (besides soccer),do you experience the same? my 2 cents Felakut

That could have changed but I doubt it. You have to also consider Sony exited LED manufacturing, so a Sony LED is essentially a Sumsang with a Sony brand William > On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 12:15 PM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > @Wash, > > > > Sometimes I am biased. > > > > I have used both Sony and Samsung LED TV and in my opinion the Sony had > > more vivid colors and was a clear winner in picture quality.
