Sony bit the dust? I bought a Sony OLED 8 months ago and it’s fantastic
Comment on Panasonic, the former plasma king, will no longer make its own TVs

Aaand another one bites the dust. So who’s left that still makes non-PRC TVs? Just the Koreans I think. When I last shopped TVs I looked for non-PRC options and the only ones available in Canada were LG, Samsung and Sony. Sony already bit the dust a short while ago.

You’re good, but Sony recently announced that going forward their TVs will be made by TCL. It’ll still be branded Sony but it’s not, really.

Yup, that’s what I was referring to.

Can’t compete with lower wages, it’s similar to when Sony and Panasonic etc. took over from GE etc.

Any particular reason why you don’t want a TV made in China?

I used to be on the China-bad bandwagon when I bought our current Sony. I didn’t understand nearly as well how production worked as I do now. The next time I have to buy one I’d evaluate on the basis of quality regardless of origin. I’d also avoid high amount of custom software to avoid annoyance and security holes, just like I did when I purchased our current one.

PRC? Sorry looking it up didn’t give me a good result.
