I know right? It's just the market is flooded with cheap China sets, like 55" Skyworths and Xiaomis for like $250
I think there are two categories, and one minor niche when it comes to TV shopping in HK: Those that care about size, those that care about brand, and those that actually care about quality. The first is taken care of the cheap sets (my friend got his 55" China Brand TV for free with his internet subscription. That's how little they care.)
But if you're in the last two categories, you're in a much smaller group. Less demand = higher prices. Also probably most people in the last category are rich (there are way too many rich bankers here), so it just drives the prices up. The rest of us get fucked
That's my guess anyway. Almost everything is reasonably priced here, and quite often cheaper, but when it comes to electronics and computer stuff it's expensive compared to the US.
