Hi Folks, I would really appreciate on the advice for the Smart TV. Which one would you actually recommend ? either to ship a smart TV from the UK which will have all the associated UK program and use a VPN to use the services, or buy a Smart TV from Saudi (I dont know what service are already available on this TV) ? does anyone know if a TV bought in Saudi could be upgraded with the UK Firmware for example ? what are the actual price in Saudi ? would you recommend bringing the TV from UK, or just proceed with a purchase in Saudi ? are Saudi price compeive since they are tax free ? are there any offer or sale period as in Europe ? thanks a lot in advance for your recommendation

Can't see the point in shipping a TV from the UK, unless you plan to ship a lot of stuff. Smart TVs are readily available and there are various offers throughout the year. There's a 40" Samsung Smart TV, UA40F5300 in Hyperpanda for 2199 SAR at the moment, not sure how it compares to UK

Thanks BUster for your email. The only reason behind shipping the smart TV from UK is the application attached to the TV. I believe each country will have its own applicatoin. not sure if a smart TV bought from Saudi will have the netflix app for ex, and I dont know if I can upload any application to the TV...

We have found the TV's more expensive in KSA than the USA. If you have a VPN and your TV is set up the way you want it, bring it.

I have just brought a smart tv in KSA. It worked out about £60 cheaper than in the UK and it works just fine
