off the telecom topic for a while since I recently moved to a new house and started to buy the whole lot of furniture, appliances, silver wares...etc. for the new house.
Yesterday I went to a couple of the electronics shops looking for an LCD TV, among the big collection they have I shortlisted them to 3 Sharp, Sony and Samsung, those are being sold at almost the same price.
General consensus seems to be that Samsung has the best LCD on the market especially with the best contrast ratio among the three. Sharp has a great LCD too, that has incredible refresh rates. Sony has an overall good looking LCD that doesn't really excel at anything!
Surprisingly the LCD plant is a JV between Sony and Samsung (50:50 ratio) so Sony or Samsung LCD are the same (other than the software and the configuration). moreover Sony and Samsung are about to dissolve their JV with Samsung taking sole control of the factory. Sony has already indicated that the new plant will be a JV between Sharp and Sony.
Sony was the leader in most industries about since i was a kid but look where it is right now!! Hopefully it is the time for Sony to pick up the Sony brand, I think sony wants to partner with another Japanese manufacturer like Sharp, since although Samsung and Sony have a JV in LCDs they are still rivals.
