"Skyworth is a good brand, hey. We have an 85-inch, and it was very cheap, but we don't have that feature 😭."

User @Silindokuhle & Iyapha

"Not me seeing this after I lost my bedroom Skyworth remote, but it is the old version. Why can’t we just do an update and get that feature, na? Last time I found the remote in the kitchen cupboard. I have a 4-year-old who thinks he owns everything in this house 🤦🏾‍♀️."

"Just ran to check, I didn’t know 😂. At this point, university is a secondary source of learning😭."

User @Noma commented:

"I don't regret pressing that follow button. If you ask me why I'm so obsessed with your account I'm going to show them this video because I just bought a Skyworth TV."
