Warranty and after-sales cover
Samsung gives a standard two-year warranty on its TVs, and its S-Care extended cover brings the total to four years. Other brands' terms differ. One manufacturer's international warranty states that the Consumer Protection Act does not apply to it, while another says buyers may keep rights under South African law for defective goods. Read the warranty card before you buy.
Season, size and the room
Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August. A TV bought in November has time to be set up before the December holidays. Measure the space in centimetres, because sellers list screens in both units: 65 inches is 165 cm.
Delivery and repairs
Delivery is arranged by each seller to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria or Gqeberha, so confirm whether the price includes delivery and installation before you pay. New Right to Repair guidelines in South Africa cover the repair and maintenance of televisions, so ask a seller how repairs are handled after the warranty ends.
What to write in your request
Give the screen size in inches, the panel type you prefer (LED, QLED or Mini LED), the resolution, whether smart features matter, new or used, the warranty you need, your city and your budget in rand. The more exact the request, the more useful the replies from sellers will be.
BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the TV in your own words in the chat, and add a photo if it helps. The AI asks for the details it is missing, looks through local sellers' websites and price lists, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price, terms and delivery, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide to share them.
