The sales agent said the LCD TVs of Japanese brand are manufactured by Korean company. Is it true?

Question

Still battling on Plasma VS LCD. That's Y I asked.

Answer 1

Don't always believe what the sales people say but it could be true. However, what does it matter to you?

A TV made by Japanese (or any other manufacturer) can be made in Taiwan, Mexico, China, you name it. However, they still design the TVs and always try to maintain their company's manufacturing standards. Same applies not only to TVs but all consumer goods.

Answer 2

Samsung and Sony has venture calls S-LCD Corp. in 55 miles out of Seoul, Korea. The Samsung and LG are two large companies produce Plasma and LCD screens for their bland and other manufactures. So your salesman is 1/2 right. the screen might be made in Korea, but other parts might not.
As far as Plasma vs. LCD. The 8th generation LCD is good as Plasma or better. Samsung, Sony, and Sharp are all put their futures on LCD. they think they will sell 73 million units in 2007.
