There is a common scam going on with Ebay, Aliexpress, and any site that allows third party sellers. You buy something, and they provide you with someone else's tracking number and never send out the item. Which is why the tracking address information doesn't match the seller's nor the buyers. It happens to me several times a year. Luckily I've never had a problem with my credit card company refunding me the money.
Why buy on these shitty tvs meanwhile on Amazon you get good LG tvs quality for low price? 🤔 And good warranty.
Wait, so they're drop shipping but not shipping? Damn that's a new one for me
@@En-bv8ns no they sell a TV to a customer and then reuse the same tracking number as proof they shipped the TV for other customers, so they basically sell one TV but get paid for many TV.
I'm so glad to see people actually talking about this I have been dealing with this issue for years but no one has said anything.
Had that happen with shoes on dhgate
Hey Y’all,
Just wanted to clear up some confusion.
First thing, I didn’t say Xiaomi was an obscure brand. They are everywhere and obviously I’ve heard of them.
Secondly, I know I got scammed, the only reason I didn’t cancel the order the moment the guy asked for more money for shipping, was for the content. That shit is dodgy as hell. The only reason I reacted positively to the Xiaomi was because it was from a reputable brand. To be honest, I wasn’t even really expecting to get a TV at all.
Hope this clears it up. Loooove you, bye (edit was to respond to concern in video)
Love you too
Hey Dawid :) I think my neighbour stole it. They keep stealing my packages wouldn't be surprised to find they took your package too :P
Are you saying I didn't win a free gift!?!?
This has shattered my entire universe.
dawid getting more recognitions even bots bother to be alongside you, love you too
I would be a funny video idea if u tracked down the other tv
Got to imagine that the bears are enjoying episodes of Winnie the Pooh or the Yogi Bear show on the lost TV.
🤔What about Paddington & The Hair Bear Bunch 😁
Don't show them Star Wars though, them Wookies be giving them ideas.
I think they are watching The Berenstine Bears. I mean Berenstien Bears.
@@rick9977015 I figure they play that scene from Revenant on loop
@@rick9977015 no, no, no. You got it all wrong, it's the Berenstain bears... 😂
Fyi, xiaomi makes extremely good TVs , but the one he bought is a extremely budget one that costs no more than 180 usd. He got ripped off big time.
But no DVB-T2
IME as someone living in Asia: Xiaomi makes a LOT of different things with various tiers of quality (vacuum cleaners, washing machines I think, besides phones etc). While Samsung manages this well enough it feels like Xiaomi is spreading itself so thin that support for those products is effectively nonexistent at times.
@@mixedup5858 dvb-t2 is present in all new xiaomi tv.
$180 is for the 720p version cmiiw, im surprise this one is 1080p on 32 inch, rather rare.
I have a Xiaomi phone, and my last phone was also Xiaomi. Both have been fairly good, apart from some software glitches and your standard Android Alma hauntings from time to time :P Good build quality, very high tier hardware, lots of memory and RAM, decent camera, good battery life. For $250 it’s insane how much performance you get if you don’t go with ”name brands” ^^
Just wanted to say there's definitely some relevance to having this sort of content. I live in a small condo and I don't watch TV much but there are some use cases where I would like to watch something in 4K so a budget 43' tv is something I've been looking at. Thanks Dawid.
In that case I mostly just get a 2nd hand TV.
Depending where you live, but so many people here have like their "old TV" (read; 2-5 years old max) and got a new one with their new internet/service provider or something silly.
I picked up an Insignia (Best Buy) 43" 4K Smart TV for under $300. Currently on sale for $250. I've had it for a few years and I have no complaints.
A 1080p or 1440p TV would be very cheap
4k 43 inch is damn near pointless unless you sit a few feet away. Also budget 4k is garbage tier get a 1080 p 43 inch
A Visio from Walmart will do in a pinch.
Thats a new scam going on, it's not that they send to a wrong address, they send you a wrong tracking number and try to drag dispute process. Look at sellers rating, bunch of scammers popping out lately
Happened to me a while ago with a cheap x79 motherboard. Seller then tried to say oh it's just taking a while in the mail will you accept $1 compensation. I said no let alliexpress deal with it got my monies back and order with another seller.
Happened to me on Amazon as well. Thankfully I got refunded.
I got a plain old bait and switch the last time I tried buying off AliExpress. He refused it saying I didn’t provide the original Chinese tracking number, which was underneath the glued on international one. Had to steam the label to get to it.
a good trick to avoid the scams : get your ass off the couch and go outside to your next electronics shop and buy physically the thing with real money like the ancients from the last century did , it's not THAT difficult , Duh !
@@offlinegamer6756 I order stuff from Chine well over 10yrs now, Ive never been scammed or left without my package.
Not all order clothes and TV's, I for instance buy only electronic parts like microcontrollers, sensors, resistors, connectors, led chips...
Buy that in any other country than China and you'll pay 5-10X more because you're smart and we're not
Its a Xiaomi - isnt that a reputable brand? They do make quite a lot of mid tier household products of adequate quality - not too shabby but also nowhere near the high tier.
I have their router, works nice now for several years already
Yeah, I didn’t say they weren’t reputable. 😅
@@jpf1978 more like e-waste, their Xiaomi 12 / 12 Pro have a problem with steam condensation behind camera lenses, overpriced piece of garbage
It's amazing how five years ago Aliexpress was the place to get anything cheaper than North America, but the last couple of years have changed it both for price and shipping to the point where it is usually more expensive than our options over here.
I only go there these days for random little things, like parts for refurbishing old Nintendo handheld consoles or an inexpensive component cable for my Gamecube...
I only use the site for 400 series axillary temperature probes, it's the only place where you can get them for a reasonable price.
1:36 As a no screen TV user, I can confirm that Dawid is missing out on all the benefits of a no screen TV
Yep, I have a couple lying around the house... But we call them radios lol 😆
Not gaming, not watching the latest Star Trek. I guess you just like living in 1853?
@@SomeOldGamers No no. You see, with no screen TV’s all there is to comprehend is sound quality. With all screen TV’s, there to many layers to process: What’s happening on screen, how it looks, colors, how smooth it is. It’s just a hassle.
I can imagine the old designer at Apple banging on about the "weight reduction" and "the lack of a screen isn't a bug, it's a feature because you can upgrade"
imagin-o-vision - why deal with the virtues/faults of a real picture when you can just imagine what it would look like
My man that xiaomi TV is worth like 200 Canadian dollar in India and cat also get even lower with discount. It pretty much bang for the buck
That price would makes it way more worth it, would even tempt me to get one for my mom to replace the tv some my siblings gifted her last year that wasn't even 1080p.
The price would be really good for it. That’s why I said, no point shipping one of these to Canada, but if you can get it for $200. That’s amazing!
I would also try turning off HDR on that game if it was on in the first place
Especially on cheap tvs the HDR will make the picture darker, SDR can look better in some instances.
Plus HDR on games are hit or miss in the first place no matter what.
HDR on any sub 1000 nits display without local dimming is a scam.
@@MandoMTL so LG OLEDS are a scam? Lol no
Shouldn't Xbox detect no HDR on the TV in the first place?
@@pogtuber5146 he may mean in terms of led backlit TV's, edge lit and direct lit are kinda trash in my opinion, I feel like 800 nits a good enough. Most experts I've seen say 600 nits is bare minimum to consider a panel "real" hdr. And I was more or less referring to the Hisense that tv has HDR, as poorly represented as it is on the screen with it's terrible contrast the Xbox would still detect it as HDR panel because it technically is.
!!! IMPORTANT: Do not change Sharpness from center (e.g. 50 if range is 0-100) with digital (discrete pixel) programming !!! It's often only for analog. Early LCD TVs used the analog circuits for HD CRT TVs (yes, they existed) and did not disable Sharpness in LCD sets, so moving Sharpness away from center in either direction blurred the picture using Analog methods. (one being the famous name I can't remember for adjusting the electron beams. It's some matrix-like math, I think, but in an analog way).
Dawid, you are the only tech reviewer that offers an "all senses" review of different tech items. The inclusion of tech smells always makes me laugh. Thanks for the content, keep it up!
Don't forget LTT.
The smell is important. 😂
I am simple man, I see Dawid, I watch Dawid, I press like on Dawid.
Then I press like on his good comments 👍
Linode’s really getting such great marketing out of Dawid, like that L-I-NOOOOOOOOOO-D-(E) is something that gets stuck in my head man.
@LabRat Knatz why are you not subd anymore to wendell, you absolute monster
@@jpf1978 there's physically no other way to say it

Love the cameo by Xi. Brightness varies so much from manufacturer's model to model, the 75" Hisense I presently own is bright enough to function as a tanning bed and is great for a sun room.
That whole shipping process must've been unbearable
unBEARable....
I see what you did there 😹
@@Gato303coWhy are you speaking?
The "shipping costs more now that you've already paid for everything" is a common AliExpress scam. You're not supposed to pay them more, you just encouraged scammers instead of getting a refund like you're supposed to.
Well done, two scams in one video. The Psychic Friends Network would be proud.
You can get the Xiaomi tv for 140000 in India which is like 200 dollars and it's pretty good for that price
Hisense fanboy!! I've bought nothing but Hisense and have had great experience with 3 tvs now. The first one got water in it from a flood on my second floor and still worked for over a year before it stopped working. I have a 58inch and recently a a6g 50inch for my bedroom. Absolutely nothing but good things to say!! Also you have to mess around with the settings to make the a6g "pop" but still a solid tv!!
"size is not the only thing that matters" amen to that Dawid 👌
actually Xiaomi and Hisense Smart TVs here are same popular as Samsung or Oneplus, you can buy them at normal electro stores or computer stores
This channel needs more recognition! Seriously entertaining content, Dawid.
mid pandemic i got a 43 inch lg 4k tv that was a generation old from best buy for for 270(american) plus tax from best buy that was normally priced at 400. im very happy with the tv
Not gonna lie, but a BEAR TAX sounds like a thing they'd have in Canada -- along with an Apology-Fee and a Politeness Tariff.
That bear swooping the tv got me! 🤣🤣🤣
I recently upgraded from a 32" 1080p Samsung tv to a 43" TCL TV. Once I got the colors right (HDR sucked on PC) and got used to the backlighting on the edges, I was pretty happy with it. Walked into a target 5 min away, picked up the tv, paid $280 USD and put it in my room. So far it was a good decision. Love playing games on my PC with it now that I can use 2k/4k resolutions
My experience with the 4k TCL has been kinda bad.
The TV crashes frequently, and the HDR introduces some bizarre issues with 1080p signals, primarily a massive green/purple fullscreen glitch. Imagine running an ega game on a 43" TV with 4 colors. Green, purple, darker purple, and scalding red. Now imagine that at literal random, switching to any resolution other than 4k 60hz causes this glitch, regardless of source.
It's frustrating.
Oh and the "no buttons, cheap speakers" thing kinda sucks too.
Bought mine for $160 on Amazon on sale...
TCL are made in China. Quality control is terrible. You might get a good one, but probably not. Their backlights are known to be faulty. Visio is the best TV when on a budget.
Ooof.. I can literally get a better TV at my local grocery store for half the price. 🤣
Skyworth or bolova?
One thing that comes to my mind about this video that I think You should also do - connect both to internet and update firmware on both of them. Sometimes with these TV`s it does change things a lot.
but then that means connecting your tv to the internet (especially when it's a xiaomi tv lol)
@@latrans and.... ? what`s wrong with that and whats the difference between connecting for example Samsung tv from connecting Xiaomi tv? I basically live in a smart house and among other electronics I also have a few xiaomi gadgets connected to my home network. I would rather be concerned about connecting Huawei after their ban in US fo spying allegations ;) (not as still i think it was big BS and I would not hesitate) the above comment was for all TV`s and the difference after firmaware update, despite who produced it.
@@dronner1 oh i’m not saying any other brand would be good to connect to the internet either, it’s just much safer to keep smart devices away from your home network. if you think the amount of spying that goes on with a lot of smart devices is BS tho, good luck to you my friend lol
Update firmware, yes. But then disconnect from Internet. I was reading that Vizio (another maker of cheap TVs) makes more money selling info about their user's viewing habits than they make selling the hardware.
3:12 when you c um because of how satisfying is pelling a foil from TV
Finally Aliexpress content! I join this channel because the pc's you buy from Aliexpress.
Got a 55" 4K display model Hisense with built in Roku for less than £300 and I love it, for the price to features ratio they pretty much can't be beat
US/Canadian and Asian Hisense TV always look like a great value for money options, it sucks that here in Europe we get a significant downgrade. They add a letter at the end of the version name so that people watch US or Asian reviews think they are getting something while actually we get the hand-me-down version. We get worse panels and even no Android/Google TV, instead of that their rage inspiring OS.
"not sure I wanna connect this TV to the internet" [shows Winnie the Pooh]

Xiaomi isn't that bad at all. So I was actually quite satisfied with my Xiaomi Smartphone!
I have one right now 😅✌🏻 and it's my 3rd Xiaomi Smartphone, i replaced my iPhone 11 for the Xiaomi 11pro
Yeah they make good budget and premium products. Hes obviously ignorant about it.
i have a xiaomi mi 11 lite 5g (i love it) and i even got a smart fan from xiaomi for free with my phone
zero regrets with my note 10 lite... i wish it just had a little more storage but that was a mistake on my part
It's got its flaws, but I'm relatively happy with my Mi10T. The only bad parts are the display and how the OS dislikes working with messenger bubbles and dark mode
somewhere in bearmountain a bear watches this video: "Imma gonna like and subscribe to this guy"
What you did was buy a TV. Then get scammed for 200 dollars by a scammer. That's how that works. Stop allowing them to scam people by buying into their scams
You cant fight the bears they love picnic baskets and TV's. I cant believe a normal person wouldnt say no thanks that makes the TV out of my price range and look for something else.
The only reason I didn’t cancel the order was for content. The moment a seller messages and asks for money it’s clearly hella dodgy.
Bigger is always better!
bigger is not always better..... "🦗"
Hahahahahaha
I've never been scammed on Aliexpress - but I only buy from reputable merchants.
If those bears insist on holding that TV hostage then I will have to call Liam Neeson. He has a particular set of skills.
Haha I had that crap happen to me once when I bought on Aliexpress, the seller asked me for additional 50$ for shipping, I told him to shove the order where the sun don't shine, opened a dispute, got my $$ back, bought from a different seller, no problems.
"No!!! I dont wanna pay bear ransom!!"
fkn legend. Genius
This guy is funny.
I've never purchased from Ali Express because their website seems kind of shady. I'm also pretty paranoid about purchasing from websites I haven't dealt with before, so I always figured that my impression of Ali Express is somewhat clouded by that, but your experience with these TV's reaffirms my inclination to avoid Ali Express. Thanks for the review.
AliExpress is like that iconic soccer meme. "sometimes it may be good, sometimes it may be shit"
Yeah, watching your channel on my 43" TCL 4K Roku TV right now. Lots to be said for an inexpensive 4k TV as a main monitor!
"delivered in Ontario"
Sounds like the 'we shipped it, here's the tracking number' scam. By the time the dust from the paperwork cross-talk settles, the seller will be long gone with the cash.
Has that seller disappeared from Aliexpress?
send the hounds after him🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats not how it works with Aliexpress... Aliexpress holds the payment until buyer confirms it has been received or it times out. Buyer can dispute it and get refunded.
I have never had any issues with refunds

That bear part was unnecessarily too detailed 😂
Xiaomi quality really, really let up over the years. When they first popped up on the tech radar they really had some nice budged hardware.
This is also true for their non consumer tech they sell under different brand names.
This TV costs 125 CAD locally, David just got scammed hard. Is it bad for this price? I don't think so.
Its Premium brand now
@@kamilkilian7861 wow wtf. He got scammed hard. 130 bucks isnt bad at all.
Bear ransom??? What!!! How do you come up with this stuff?? How?? what do you smoke??? How??? Bear ransom!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣
Brightness really seems to be an issue for cheaper TVs these days.
Probably the single biggest issue with the real cheap ones.
I think this calls for adding LED's to the "cheap TV" that was in no way really cheap.
other issue is screen ghosting (what Dawid described as blurriness), I have a Viewsonic 40" 1080p TV that is totally not suitable for high fps games but works ok as a TV, but my 10 year old 32" Sony Bravia works like a champ for games if you can ignore the backlight bleeding it has developed over the years
My 8 year old Samsung will provide a retina scorching brightness level.
Xiaomi here in the Philippines is actually booming. They got a lot of high quality tech sold at affordable prices.
Their electric scooter line is pretty damn good for the price as well
same for the most part of europe
Just a heads up: It's pronounced "Chiaomi".
Actually it is much closer to the SCH in schedule, maybe with a tiny bit of T in front of that. tSCH ee ow me. (After several listens to my Chinese wife pronouncing Xiomi. However, a different province will say it differently again, probably)
Gotta say I love the videos but especially when Linode is a sponsor. Gotta be the only sponsor I enjoy watching ever and its now become a bit of a catchphrase in the house due to the amazing Dawid delivery. Linooooooooooooooooooodddddddddeee! Feels good.
Two things. One: YOU PAID WHAT for a 32" 1080p TV! Thats insanity. I can think of a few other words but since I like you I'll keep em to myself. Two: That Hisense will never make it to its second birthday. They have TERRIBLE powersupplies. Sold about 5 to clients cause they looked amazing at a great price. One failed in the first year. All four of the remaining died before 20 months or so. The one that died under warranty, took Hisense MONTHS to repair. By that time the client had replaced it. The Hisense contracted repair guy called it complete garbage.
People think they are saving money skimping and saving 200 or so dollars compared to a good tv of the same size.
News flash, they aren't. Do not buy hisense, rca, coby, element, skyworth, bolova, etc.
I TOTALLY get your point. It amazes me how many trashy Chinese consumer electronic products are now sold in North America. I would understand if those were meant to be sold on third world countries (like my own) where most people simply cannot afford a reputable brand, and / or it's much cheaper and easier for the the vendor to import such crappy items. That's why I'm sticking to my 42" Panasonic LCD from over a decade ago. Good products stay good
Those were my thoughts too... I figured he got the TVs for like under $100 lol I got my 65" LG 4k LCD ThinQ set for $600 last year... I bet that same LG tv is around what he paid for each of these crap sets today.
The Hisense was the only one in stock at the local Best Buy and buy TVs on AliExpress is clearly a bad deal. 😂
@@DawidDoesTechStuff only one in stock locally on what criteria?
I just returned that exact 43" Hisense tv to Best Buy and got the 8000 series LG 43". SO MUCH BETTER! As a monitor, I could not get a color I liked nor disable overscan. The LG solved all the issues with it's 4K wonderfulness. Much better hardware and software for $320.
Wow! That's expensive for those tv's. I can get a 55" 4k LG tv at my local Wallyworld for less than $400
Is this in Canada?
@@marcellachine5718 For me, I'm in the the United States...would be about $500 canadian, but no shipping involved.
Here in greece you can find a 4k 55" tv for 335€ with no shipping fees (that's the cheapest one I could find so the quality is questionable)
you can get this xiaomi tv for under 200€
@@Dr.Dimension personally I wouldn't pay 100 dollars for it.
2:10 "Made of melted down bits of Blockbuster" 🤣 You are so funny, man!
Xiaomi products are really good , especially when it comes to their phones, AMOLED Display and a Snapdragon SoC for just $200? its a sweet deal for me, currently eyeing on the new "Redmi Note 11"❤
Bump it to note 11 pro 5g. Way better experience.
Rumour has it that the CCP are entirely funded by Dawid Ali Express videos
Hey dawid! 👋 I’ve always been curious about tech channels that do reviews like this when you buy a brand new product to put it up against another product do you usually keep them, send them back, or donate them or?
Hot caboose: Dawid hits a milli by end of '22
With as much fun as Dawid has abusing their name, Linode must be either the most awesome or most forgiving sponsor ever. LINOOOooooOOOOO-D!
I really appreciate you supplying my Canadian cousins with a free TV, - A Swedish Bear! 🐻
The story of how the shipping process works was brilliant, the fact that he is serious about it & keeps a straight face just made it even better lol🤣👍
Linnooddeee see it's fun to say it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't get why some would bother ordering tvs from Ali-X when you can get similar build and quality chinese ( Hisense, TCL, Sansui, Toshiba, etc.) made ones on Amzn, and their returns are pretty flexible. The shipping can be quite high plus you might have to pay duty to boot.
Still using a 32" 1080p LG TV I got for my 21st back in 2012; it may only be 1080p 60Hz but it still looks great, has good viewing angles and decent sound, plus the input latency is pretty good in game mode
i would try a TCL TV.
i use a tcl 50 inch (4K) Roku, the dark colors are great, and its fairly bright, i only paid $250 for it, looks like they're going for $298 (385 CAD)
it's pretty much the same as the Hisense, just a better panel
I bet that other TV will show up. I use Aliexpress a lot and it’s common to have shipped to the Toronto area and have it reshippedtovyour home. I wouldn’t recommend AE for any big ticket item though. For small stuff like electronics, keyboard parts,etc it’s great. Look for sellers with lots of orders and good reviews.
ive noticed that buying a huge (like 50 inch) tv in 4k is actually cheaper than one of smaller size and if u want a monitor in 4k it costs like 3 50 inch 4k tvs for some reason
Monitor are expensive cause of the high response rate and panel quality .
That Xiaomi Mi TV P1 50" is actually one of the best budget TVs in Europe. The 50" version costs only 369 bucks here. You get a very bright and accurate 4k panel with Android 10 as OS. It runs all common Android TV apps including 3D games with controller support. Chromecast is supported as well. It supports Dolby Vision, HLG, HDR and HDR 10+.
The best part: It has a good old mechanical switch to physically disconnect the microphone.
I bought 32” Mi TV just a while ago. Mainly because of price (s$260 ~ 240cad ~ 190usd), perfect size for my use case, and “bezelless” design. My version booted up with English as default language and everything so far has been working nicely. I use the tv basically only for watching TH-cam/prime video thus gaming capabilities were not concern. Sound is pretty crappy but soundbar with woofer was on shopping list before I even bought the tv.
For my use case has been pretty perfect
For the hiesence tv , go to settings and take it off energy saver mode to get it brighter....
You need to turn off ECO mode of ambient light detection mode. This mode reduces your screen brightness.
I'd not recommend Hisense. I see them all the time because they make roku TVs and I'm a cable guy, and they're probably the second most prone to losing their backlight among any manufacturer (the first by far being LG).
Your wife deserves an award for that pause. Ouch 😂
I've had this twice with aliexpress that suddenly something is marked delivered in some weird place, raising a complaint gets you your money back, but it's a pain in the proverbial one.
A while back I purchased an FX 6350 cpu from there. I lived in College Station TX at the time and the day I thought I was gonna get it it was in Dallas. I ended up getting a notification that said "Delivered to somewhere in Dallas". Got my money back pretty fast but still, it literally said "somewhere in Dallas"
Melted dwn bits of blockbuster with cretacious connector and a thiiiiaaack caboose....lol! So funny Dawid, love it! I guess the takeaway is don't buy tvs from aliexpress unless ur in turkmanastan!
I was scammed twice from sellers on aliexpress. Both times I filed complaints and they returned the money. Same for me, both times showing "delivered" to Ontario and I'm in Vancouver.
Both went to ontario YYZ is Toronto Pearson airport... But if they came from China isn't going to BC faster than Ontario
I love how the trees are vibin` in that Elden Ring footage
Hisense makes a great TV for really cheap, much better than TCL TVs. You can get a good 75" Hisense for like 700$. We use a Hisense for watching TV at night when using our camper. I will say that the brightness on the Hisense is a bit lacking on the cheaper models
I always feel weirdest watching channels like these on my 2016 insignia I got out of the trash lol
Honestly TVs have gotten so crazy cheap where you can buy a really nice 4K like 55” for the same price as a 32” 1080 TV just like 5 years ago … I mean you can walk into Walmart and get nice 32” TVs for like $120 or something wildly cheap compared to just a short time ago
I love seeing tech like this come down in price cuz it means now anyone can afford a really good 4K massive Samsung TV for about $400-500 opposed to a short time ago where these things where 1000+ and out of most peoples price point
Still a fun video as always and it’s neat to see how these knock of sellers and companies are dealing with the change in times and pricing. It’s funny when things get to a point where the “cheap” direct buy service is more expensive than even a good product from say Best Buy or Walmart 🤔
I've bought a 32" Fuego Android TV,and tbh,for my small room,it amazing,the contrast is really awesome even in a dark room,the interface is pretty stable and usable,the only bad this is that is it 720p,but for how far I sit it looks pretty clear,I watched this video on that TV and it looks pretty good and get ready for the price......
160€ with a 3 year warranty,I bought it at a local shop and I'm loving it
Dawid, we need more “what does Anna think” in you’re videos

$400 plus dollars? OUCH! I picked up an Lg that was $530 and it's a 65''... Why is everything over the border so much more expensive?
Also, the amount you paid for 1080p tvs seems like a lot. I can get a 65" LG 4K HDR ThinQ TV for $500 here in the US.
Wow that some great deal, the same tv would cost me 1k usd in asia
I recently got myself LG 43UP81003LR, and I'm surprised to see a cheaper HiSense of the same size seems to have more connecting ports there... which is actually a problem for me since I use component input for Wii sometimes, and needed to get a converter from Amazon, and if I want to connect a laptop or something I need to disconnect something since other two HDMI ports are taken by other consoles on my LG... I can only hope that my TV makes up for the lacking connections with better screen quality(It has a VA display... so almost definitely has better contrast and brightness than HiSense... but pays for it with horrible viewing angles that forced me to get a long wall mount that can rotate it for me XD), but it's not like I can compare XD
hey dawid im not sure if you know this but you can turn off ur email from showing in the home menu, i forgot how to do this but it is possible and it could save a bit of time blurring it out love u dawid keep up the good content:)

Dawid the aliexpress king 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Brilliant , love it .
I bought a new Vitron 50 inch Android TV in Nairobi for KES 39,000 (ROUGHLY USD 308) and you can hardly differenciate picture quality to this "high end" TVs. It's 4k and very bright to a point I only keep the brightness at 25%. I prefer traditional shopping on Electronics so that I can test the products prior to purchase
Paying even the base price for a 1080p TV or monitor is about twice as much as it should be.
After receiving several items that were complete trash, items that never arrived (had actual tracking numbers so Ali-Express's auto refund kicked in so I didn't lose any money) I had an item that actually arrived 3 months after the auto-refund happened. Half of the box was absolutely soaked in water (and had been soaking in it for some time) and the cardboard of the outer box and the item's box was little more than wet paper Mache and fell apart just touching it. The contents had mold starting to grow on them and some pieces were broken. This was several years ago and I pretty much closed out my account with Ali Express and have not ordered from them since.
Seen this with America as well where prices don't include tax etc, and makes me glad that over in the UK whatever price you see is the price you pay as tax is always included.
Scares me sometimes when you see the price of something in the USA, and then you find out how much tax needs to be paid on top of it. Thankfully, whenever I buy from the USA or Canada, prices always include taxes or are at least what you see is what you pay. Now postage these days, that is what makes it impossible to order much stuff worldwide.
Our biggest annoyance though is import duty this end. While it is fine if it is under a certain price, as there are no charges, if it goes over the threshold it is hit or miss as to whether the HMRC will sting you or not. Firstly the price isn't just the item, it's the price of the item and the postage you paid (so yeah, very little is under the threshold these days due to said postage costs) added together, and you get taxed on that total not just the item price. And then for good measure they charge you a handling fee as well. I did not ask them to take my parcel, open it, see what is inside and then decided how much to extort from me, but yeah I also have to pay them to do that service I did not want.
As for the tax issue you can check and see what your State, city or county tax rate is. In State of Ohio last I checked it was around 7.25%. Do the math and you can see what you will pay for the item in your area. Yes it’s nice to have tax or vat included in your price but vat taxes tend to be ridiculous. The country in the EU I currently reside in vat is 24% on non edible items. 24% tax is very bad for an economy, people will not purchase many items at this rate, it appears that EU countries are trying to steal from their public to fund their politicians high lifestyles. Food tax is 13% which is stupid, taxing the food we eat?! WTF! In most states in the USA do not charge tax on food items. Sodas and alcoholic products will always have the tax added at check out. As a minister in a Baptist Church once told me when I informed him of the food tax in the EU, " It is a sin to tax the sustenance that goes into one’s body, those Bas$&*ds will burn in hell for it".
