Perhaps the least intuitive decision is which manufacturer to purchase from. There are countless brands and makes and models of televisions which can make shopping for a new one, in our ever-increasing technological standards, and faster and faster paced development, quite a daunting task.
Today, we’re going to look at the different pieces of information available about Mitsubishi, Sony, Panasonic, and Philips TV’s. There are consumer reports that say that Mitsubishi is known for selling LCD and rear-projection microdisplay TV’s and front projectors. The company’s flagship line is the Diamond series, which is sold only in select dealerships. All of Mitsubishi’s new TV’s are host to integrated 3D or 3D capable.
As for Sony, the company specializes in LCD TV’s and front projectors. Sony is the most popular brand for LCD TV’s with the widest variety of products under their Bravia model name. While Sony products are mid-to-high priced, the 3D ready sets are at the higher end of the price spectrum. Sony continues to dominate the more expensive type of LCD TV’s, and they seem to have earned it with their high quality products.
Panasonic sells plasma, LCD TV’s, and LCD-based front projectors. Panasonic offers a stable quality status ranging from 42 to 65 inch TV sets. However, its Plasma TV’s can be as large as 150 inches. Panasonic gets its corner on the market by pricing its product competitively while offering a widely available and quality product.
Philips, which sells only LCD TV’s, has licensed its Philips and Magnavox brands to Funai for sale in the United States and Canada. The Magnavox sub-brand was used to market the entry-level products, while the Philips brand owned the mid-to-high priced sets.
Ultimately, when you’re searching for your new entertainment companion - check, and double check claims made by sales people. Now, another thing that you have to keep in mind is the fact that your job is not done the moment you buy these TVs. In case they have to be repaired later in life, you have to make sure that the brand of TV you bought provides for good and adequate service as well. The TV is important, but so are the post purchase services. Keep all these points in mind while buying a TV!
