LCD screens are made by a handful of manufacturers…

the important issue to note is that the processor changes EVERYTHING.

Screens get labeled by quality… for example.. the A group would end up going to sony, samsung, LG..etc…

the B line would go to sharp, panasonic etc..
and the remaining would go to vizio and lesser brands.

Hi Pete!

I believe that there are only a handful of plants in the far east that actually manufacture LCD TVs meaning that all the major brands TVs are built under the same roof. As for whether they’re made by the exact same people with the same components I couldn’t say but the technology is the same for all LCD TVs so I don’t imagine a Sony is really much different to a Toshiba underneath it all!

(I’ve happily got a Toshiba LCD TV thanks),

Is it true that all LCD TV’s are made by LG and Toshiba, Sony etc simply put them in a stylish box or whatever??

Yeah, I thought I’d skim over the result for obvious reasons… Unfortunately those Bravia’s aren’t the cheapest TVs on earth – although very slick! Maybe you could set up some kind of ‘accident’ where the TV ends up falling out the window with no chance of repair…

Also saw the ad for the first time during the rugby (lets not talk about the result)… genius ad, and I’d love to have a Sony screen, just hoping my daughter will break the current CRT!

Well as Apple supremo Steve Jobs likes to say: “Good artists copy. Great artists steal!”.

Great advert – but it looks like someone else had the idea & they ripped it off: http://news.independent.co.uk/media/article3059108.ece

I used to do the music sweep like that but I can never find anything worth listening to on it any more! I guess I must be getting old…

And that’s the thing with genuinely creative people, they can keep coming up with amazing ideas that blow you away every time!

Like you I also skip adverts and have been known to actually go find a song on the music channel for about 3 mins to cover an advert break. I have seen the other 2 adverts you mentioned but its the first time I’ve seen this new one and it’s great not only do they use cute little bunnies (I’m sold) but they feature my favourite City New York ) I think it will be very hard to top that advert when it comes to making the new one but I look forward to seeing what they have planned ) If there were more adverts like that one people might actually start watching them!
