I know it's probably most discussed topic, but would like to know experience/benefits/practicality of taking tv to Nepal. TIA

I see many people taking TV in plane to nepal.. 1 guy i saw myself was even taking 40 - 50 inch tv.. u pay 0 import tax thats the only benefit i can think of..

I heard there are some compatibility issue with samsung and LG tvs. I would rather send money and ask them to buy there with warranty. US warranty will not work there.

0 Import tax!!! for 42inch TV, it's Rs 550/inch x 42 = Rs 23,000 custom fee.

My advice is if you are thinking of bringing a tv, bring 4K TV otherwise a regular HD tv is not that exorbitantly expensive in Kathmandu.
4K i.e. Ultra HD tv are very expensive here and even more expensive is 4K 3D tv. I went to a local TV showroom and was surprised to find the 4K tv prices are over like 200,000 rupees. You can find a good size 4K tv in the US for about 600 dollars in sale.

Also alternatively you can bring a good quality projector. The only downside to that is the life of the projector bulb, once it runs out, the cost to replace is very expensive.

Thank you all for responding me. Those were some good info. Regarding voltage issue and US TV not working I was trying to see if anyone had any experience. Most likely I'm not gonna take it.

If you bring a big tv, and especially since you will have multiple transits, your tv may or may not be handled with the same care (although it is in well packaging) so there is a chance that the bigger the tv is, it might get damaged. Of course no one has mentioned this so I thought point it to you.
So travel without with as much less worry as you can manage. You can buy a tv in Kathmandu with warranty.
