Needs in the market
If the local market has lower needs for any TV and people are using old-style normal TV, then a TV BOX is an excellent choice because it can convert a old normal TV to be a smart TV. On the contrary, if the local market, if the local people are using old-version smart TV, then it is a better choice to sell the latest smart TV to the local market. The latest smart TV is equipped with the fastest specification, including GPU, CPU, and the latest OS. TBD…
Price comparison
Mianhong’s recent data shows that directly buying a smart TV is cheaper than buying a bundle ( a normal TV plus a smart TV Box). For example, a Mianhong 32″ Android 13(Open Source) Smart TV is usually cheaper than a bundle with Mianhong 32″ Normal TV + a Android 13(Open Source) TV Box. However, if we choose to buy the TV BOX only as a complement of TV in the local, then it would be a more commerical choice.
Conclusion
Both options, a Smart TV and the bundle option with a Normal TV and TV Box have their unique advantages. The choice ultimately depends on how the local market are(for business), on specific needs and preferences(for individual). If the market value convenience, seamless integration, and a dedicated user interface, then a smart TV may be the ideal choice. On the other hand, if the market is full of old TVs, then the bundle option would be a better choice.
