In actual fact the quality in my eyes, comes before looks!
What you need to know when purchasing a TV, is a little about the components, just because it say's a brand name on the front means nothing at all! what's inside is what matters.
That's probably why Sony TV's hold their prices better than most. B & O TV's design orientated, but mostly phillips tube's.
what you pay is what you get! meaning electrical goods these days, are finely tunes, with a life span, so you need to know the average life of the tupe, some are 25,000 hours, some 60,000 hours. of course they don't burn out on the day. But you can evaluate if you should extend the guarantee.ect.
Most electrical goods will burn out the first 3 months when new! or not even work on the first day. defect rate is quite high on some models, more than others. China made for example, think of quantity, before quality, unless they are influenced by western organsiations.
I purchased a Sony Vega 29ich here in Singapore and it is no where hear the same quality of the one I purchased in Denmark. different Countries demand different quality standards.
My sony I purchased in Denmark, doesn't work in UK, one would think so because of the EEC, But Sony will not convert it, either and I paid the equiv of 650 pound sterling for it, believing i could have it changed over, just a matter of tuning sound and picture on the different frequencies.
So you really do need to know what is inside and the average life span. I guess Sony or Phillips are the leaders in technology and will demand a premium price.
LG have come along way the last 8 years or so, I believe LG is made in China, not sure though.
