Pasting just the good part:

* Samsung, by far has the greatest variation in terms of quality between its range of models.

* Sony TVs are artificially expensive

* Plasma TVs are ridiculously high on power consumption

* Panasonic (for me) still has the best Auto Setup and Menu Interface

* Panasonics, on the whole have the better sound quality

* Backlit LED is better than EdgeLit LED

* Samsung is most generous with its feature set

* Your choice in Manufacturer brand of TV has a real effect on what people think of you

* Manufacturers tend to (generally) optimise one type of external interface more than the other. Eg. HDMI better tuned than Component output. This is down to the way they manufacturer the circuitry, and not necessarily due to the type of technology itself




I found the first part to be the `good part'. I like observations about psychology and selling, but I do not care too much about TV.


I did have more observations, but i didnt want to bore people.


Thanks Eru. I had in fact written it for the purpose you mention. That was my interest in all of this, but then people took from the tech side too, so thats great as well ;-)


Yes, one article can serve two purposes.
