Another reason for people outside of
China to turn green in envy is this 39-inch
TV that can be bought for a shade under $250 -- but only for buyers in China!
The Super
TV S40 comes with a 39-inch
LCD screen with a
1080p resolution and a host of other
features and functionalities, which include an
HDMI-out
port, 3x USB 2.0
ports, a dual-core 1GHz processor, 1GB of
RAM and a 4GB hard drive (had to remind myself this was a
TV and not a
smartphone at this point!). This pretty much eliminates the need for an Android-powered
TV box, except the fact that there is no WiFi/Bluetooth on board.
Buyers in
China can also avail LeTV membership valued ¥490 (~$81) which provides
access to a few iCNTV-based services. The Super
TV S40 is priced just ¥1,499 (~$247) after a drop of ¥500 (~$83).
