Murali & Adder ..... you both have written very well - have to say that !
Adder ....
Very well said statistics, but there are some things I'd like to point out...
SHARP: When and where did I mention that Indian SHARP has good service as compared to SONY ? Yes, we don't find SHARP products in showrooms, but that's only in India and not abroad ! The reason being SHARP India not spending too much on ads or marketing which is their company policy. Visit the link I posted above and you'll know SHARP LCD is above SONY in LCD sales as of Q4 2K9 just by 0.3 !
Philips : Philips gifted some broadcasting equipments as a gift to Indian Government in return to a permission granted for an exhibition way back in '40s or '50s. And guess what those equipments gave birth to : none other than our Doordarshan !
Philips is not extinct. Their products sell but not as hot cakes. They may be extinct in LCD TV market (again only in India), but in the DVD Player market, their products are excellent ( statement based on online reviews and not my own imagination !).
Again, I never talked about SONY high end LCD TVs or SHARP XS1 or OLED TVs- why do you bring it into discussion?
SONY: You need not educate me about the 'quality' of SONY products - I own a Trinitron TV. It delivers the stunning picture way beyond words to describe. Truly like no other. God knows what components they use inside their products - their quality and life-span is magical !
[/I] But is Trinitron the only good technology in CRT? NO ! Philips' Pixel Plus DSP algorithm is said to be the biggest thing in CRT yet - it won awards in Europe just as Trinitron won Emmy awards. But hardly anyone knows about Pixel Plus in India. SONY's aim is not just develop technology but to win more market share using its unique and newer products. They are damn shrewd. SONY's CEO said once ....
"I don't serve markets. I create them !"
Every SONY product ( those that fail to perform ) costs high - more than other Japanese brands. The game of SONY is: Research and create a product/technology (that will sell in future market), patent it, release it in market and enjoy the harvest. Not a bad idea.
We just need to be a little broad minded ! My whole objective was to mention that Indian market revolves around LG Sony and Samsung (as if they are the Father Son and Holy Spirit hyeah and that it must widen its vision !
Pioneer Plasma is impeccable scoring highest review ratings ever (in Asia, Europe and US). It's the best TV ever made, say owners and reviewers. No doubt only high class people cud afford it. But look at Panasonic - their Plasmas are rocking. Yet inexpensive compared to Pioneer Plasmas or SHARP/SONY LCDs.
Last but not least, I don't own a 'big' TV at home. Nor do i want one. I own just 2 TVs -
1) Panasonic Tau with Quintrix tube &
2) SONY KV-AZ213M83 - a mind blowing product.
I prefer products that have quality and are economical. I dont mind sacrificing a little features and going for SHARP/TOSHIBA that gives near equal quality rather than SONY that is way too expensive for an average man (in these times of outsourcing and non-'MADE IN JAPAN' era when companies have more profit margins ! ).
Try to understand one thing: Every brand has it's own vision and corresponding kind of products. We just have to choose from them. There is nothing like best and worst. We customers are the deciding the fate of the company/brand !

Since you own a SHARP LCD TV and other SHARP products that satisfied you with performance and long life, your statement are genuine, I feel.
You know? SHARP released a 108" TV (maybe not in the middle east). Whoa ! Lil smaller than double the size you're talking about ! For details, visit:
Sharp unveils 108-inch LCD television - CNET News
Your Trinitron may have failed in 8 yrs but generally Trinitrons live for 25 years ! If my Uncle's SHARP Optonica (made in India by Kalyani SHARP India Ltd) can last for 15 years without a single fault (got repaired only bcos a local mechanic attached a local tuner PCB), why won't a SONY last for 20 years ? Certainly it does ! All my friends are running for LCD TVs. But i invested in a Trinitron and i cherish its unequal quality everyday. Man it's impeccable.
Never knew Nakamichi made Plasmas ! See, again there's lack of knowledge. Indian market is a well and other markets are oceans
Yes SONY Center guys are arrogant but again, they are run by other outlets like Adishwars that act as franchisees, so can't blame it on SONY Corporation. But never knew they'd threaten you based on contacts in customs. This is India - here even a corpse would be back to life if bribed hehe. But Akio Morito is the backbone behind the company's success I've heard he traveled across the globe to assess the choice, mindset and taste of people before starting SONY (or when it was in baby stage).
Philips, the same guys who released Ambilight have released 21:9 original cinemascope format screen. But somehow their products are not as sharp as SONY or Panasonic I feel and fail to capture the mass market, though they are inexpensive ! Poor marketing is one factor for that I feel. How's Philips doing in the Mid-East ?
I personally feel and saw that, Plasmas give accurate blend of colors, sharpness and brightness (and best motion due to .001 ms resp time ). LCDs give a picture that is richer that original, said a dealer. I feel that's true.
