Thanks, Some how i stumble on couples of articles saying that Sony and Samsung share the same panel, so if you buy samsung, you are buying sony at a cheaper reate and if you buy sony you are buying samsung at a higher rate.
If that if right, then what keeps making sony to be rated above others,could it be the name they have made over time or they still have the quality.
And now looking back, the same TV may fetch around 60 percent the price I bought. It is dropping dramatically. There is no point buying a Sony, isn't it?
well, I think samsung has wlways been known for good features for resonable price.
But then did you had a sony to compared with at the moment you were buying the Tv, if yes , what made you to eventually pick samsung-over priced or less features?
Good to know that the major factor for making your decision is the price.
so far, sony is stilled believed to be one of the best brand or probably leading brand when you talk of TV, and for some reasons too, i think the price is coming down too though abit of bucks above the price of other brands
But does the compromise in price be comprise in quality for sony or is it just that sony decided to be considerate with price this time?
@Adeniji, that's an interesting question... I suppose it's mostly due to price. If they were both priced the same and had the exact same features and specs... hmmm. I guess I would take the Sony. But it's close.
In my area, samsung is the top selling lcd while sony is the most expensive but believed to be better while LG seems to be more affordable than the rest on this list .
@ DennisQ Good to know that, but is it only because of the price that you changed to samsung or there is more factors that made you to make that decision.
I mean to say if you can affort both without stress this christmas, which one will you go for.
And to some extent, right now sony is really coming down in price, how about that in your location?
I historically always purchased Sony TVs, but I switched to Samsung Monitors and TVs a few years ago. This is mostly due to the fact that as a general rule, the Sony product is more expensive than the Samsung version.
I'm happy with that decision so far. I still like Sony, but I think Samsung products are generally just as good. And come to think of it, my phone is a Samsung too...

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
