      Would it not make sense for them to? Since they make budget televisions, they have to subsidise the cost somehow.

      Either that, or because they’re so budget, you’d expect them to cheap out on the electronics and not bother with anything that sophisticated compared to a bare-minimum chip.

      Right, i have a hisense fridge i bought 12 years ago after my second hand fridge broke, destroying all my food. I had saved up enough money to go away for the weekend but got home from work to the broken one. Had cancel my trip and use the money to buy the fridge thinking it won’t last long.

      That fridge now sits outside with drinks in it and its never missed a beat.

      I also have a deep freezer of theirs I’ve had for 8 years with no issues apart from having to replace the door seal.
