Looking to buy a new tv (50-55inch), but can't quite bring myself to buy a TV in fortress for 2 times the price on amazon for the same unit.
Has anyone had any luck ordering online and having it delivered?
Bringing it on a trip from overseas?
Any issues besides the voltage?
I'd only use it for apple tv/android box, not local tuning.

Thanks.

Thailand offers a huge amount of TVs in various models. Some have the plug already changed to fit.

Oasis, don't bring any TV to HK.

Its terrible here. Imagine. Super small living room, then all these dirty Chinese channels, useless maids who don't know how to treat an expat device, then the pay TV costs, so much higher than anywhere else in the world. Then consider the grumpy master, the bored fat housewife, ugly kids, all these endless oz rugby matches, I mean, which TV with any self-respect would want that? It is a no-brainer. Don't do it, or at least send him to the Middle-East, so much nicer there.

You Sir, are an idiot with a lack of imagination.

That picture of HK sounds awful, maybe it's yours? but it belongs to very few of the rest of us.

Wilde did say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, which suits STW nicely. However it's still high enough to go right over White None's head 🤔

Ron, the full quote is:

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.

Which makes your comment even truer, doesn't it? :)

White none,

you are hilarious!
