oyb: I asked a question but you didn't answer it, how many Nigerians use their smartphones completely or even to a 70% level? Recently I changed my phones theme and it's wallpaper changed, a pal said "Your phone looks pretty different, what did you do"? Yes, he uses a smartphone. 1 Like |

I quite participating in this kind of debate when i found out a member of my church subcribes for a 200k data plan monthly for his house. I couldnt even find that shii on the network provider website. My brother techcapon they know 4k and 4g and they use it well for their viewing pleasure. Their house in Abuja attracts good network.

tolugar: The OP made a lot of sense. I happen to own an Ultra HD TV and disappointingly, I rarely enjoy the 4K content it offers because such are very limited and also expensive. An average 4K Blu ray DVD costs about 70 Dollar and it's not even available in Nigeria, not to talk of the fact that in addition to owing this special TV, you also need a 4K DVD player in order to play a 4K video. You have to order 4K DVDs from Amazon and the like. For now, having a 4K TV is a share waste of money in Nigeria. A Full HD TV would just do. |

unmask:Last I checked the memory capacity of a compact disk (CD) is 737mb, so how exactly does a 2 hours movie on 4k which could take about 220GB or 2GB per min fit inside a compact disk, the way you guys talk eh, sometimes I wonder the people behind this monikers. 2 Likes |

You got it wrong, the TV manufacturers are not waiting for Nigeria to upgrade to 4K. In a short while DSTV & Others will be forced to deliver 4k content. |

TechCapon: Tv of 8 million , the selling point is not only the 4k resolution. it must be a smart TV with customized inbuilt content. the screen size. ability to share content with other devices using screen mirror/screen cast /pc sharing /chromcast. the processor. one remote control solution for all ur device. one connect box to reduce wire at the back of ur tv. clean back solution. invisible connection. the currency conversation rate is another major factor that increase the price |

ollah2: your argument is invalid because it shoehorns all nigerians [yourself included] into the box of tech illiterates. i may as well ask i the author of the article uses the internet to a 30% level, since he could not be bothered to do a simple search on the actual features of 4k tvs i have found that it is more a case of interest than anything else. i know enough 'tech illiterates' that can find their way around cars 45 and vehicle auction websites. the same way plenty of nigerians understand the use of whatsapp and other messaging apps. |

oyb: An average Nigerian won't be discussing tech back and forth like we have been doing. Am average Nigerian use his gadget a bland way. Buy a smartphone install social media and game apps and flex on. Buy a tv, plug his dstv to it and flex on. My point is, an average Nigerian wants to use the current tech or show off but not because of its functionalities. 3 Likes |

An HD content on a Full HD TV can never be the same with an HD content on a 4K UD TV. That upscaling ability of 4K TV is enough to increase your TV budget. There is no crime in getting that extra quality. Even those in the advanced countries use 4K TVs to watch HD/SD contents. What I think we should be discussing is why all Nigerian channels have refused to upgrade from SD. There are over 15 HD channels on DSTV (the MNETS, Supersport, Etc.) and I believe that with time, some upgrades would be made on a few channels. Note to get those 15+ HD Channels, you have to cough out around 12k for monthly subscription. I believe those paying heavily for these TVs can afford the subscriptions and data. 2 Likes |

If I may ask, today there are cameras with ultra HD lens and over 64mmega pixel, how does this compare to the 4k resolution TV. Many modern digital IP CCTV cameras are far in 10mpixel resolution with super clarity that you really need an HDMI and and ultra HD screen to get the beauty of their clarity. How does this also compared to this 4k TV? Tnx Sorry this is meant for the op not really u. tolugar: |
