Small-sized television sets (32 inch and less) have become more expensive this year, and industry insiders blame it on rising prices of TV components.
Ngoc Quan, a Hanoi resident, was surprised at the price rise when he visited an electronic retailer to buy a TV.
"I looked for a 32-inch TV of a well-known brand before
Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday which fell in February. The price then was VND2.4 million ($104). Now, when I really want to buy it, its price has surged to VND3.6 million," he said.
