Thanks for that Wash , I think my mind is set, the LED TV should do for now, guess even the need to get digital wouldn't mean me spending almost 20K extra.
I have a Samsung 3D Blue-ray player I won in one of their promotions. It's got WiFi/Ethernet connections, Apps, Allshare which I can access on the TV. I can painfully browse the net using the cursor on the RC (Remote Control) but I must say I see no real value of those being on TV. Maybe I am just old school, but a TV should not take the place of a computer. So soon, you'll have a mouse communicating with the TV? Well, your choice of 60k does not have this, IIRC.... so maybe you should wait.
I can only advise you to think of a TV as a TV for now if your _primary_ consideration is "digital".On Mon, Dec 10, 2012 at 11:10 AM, Martin Gicheru <martin@techweez.com> wrote:
Thanks Washington, reason I'm still confused as to whether to get a 35k Led tv vs the 60k digital and smart tv is the other nice things it comes with beyond inbuilt set-top box. The wi-fi direct, apps, browser. It's about trying to be closer to future-proofness. A year from now I will be feeling like it's the standard tv having apps, browser full HD and wireless connectivity.

Hi Mickey,
So far there is only 1 digital TV vendor in the Kenyan market - Samsung.
Please go to http://samsutech.net/LEDS_TVs/About_LED_all.html and scroll to the bottom. The TV marked at 59,995 is the only one with a built in DVB-T2 STB thus goes how to identify - MUST HAVE a built-in DVB-T2 STB.

Sorry for my intervention but How exactly will one tell this TV is analog and this one is digital. Any theory?On Mon, Dec 10, 2012 at 8:15 AM, Martin Gicheru <martin@techweez.com> wrote:
_______________________________________________Morning skunks,
No need to pretend we are know-it alls and suffer in ignorance.
I lost a TV to robbery some 3 months ago and I am yet to replace it. Naturally one will be window shopping all through till you finally decide what to opt for. Been mulling over this "buy a tv and add a set top box-considering all other devices you plug in to a tv" and "just wait till you can afford a dvb-t2 compliant tv, which in this case is the Samsung smart tv at 60k".
Dec 31st is approaching, so one would want to be as future-proof as possible. What's your take skunks?Regards,
Martin Gicheru
