After reading these posts, I wonder if Daewoo is still in business. If so, they are probably, even likely, turning out flat-panel TVs today that won't or do not last longer than the warranty period or two years (!), whichever comes first. Daewoo is in a class with GPX and other no-name offshore electronics firms, in that their products are throwaway junk -- and they aren't that great when they are working.
I've never owned Daewoo TVs or anything else with that name, but I did have a GPX radio-cassette recorder years ago that broke after only three weeks. I didn't even bother taking it back to the store; I simply trashed it, and made up my mind -- no more GPX gear for me. I had a Sanyo radio-cassette that lasted longer and was built better than that GPX BPC.
10-07-2010 - 3:12 pm EDT -- I just looked on Google for more info on Daewoo and found that they
are still in business, but not as an electronics firm. These days, they seem to be more into automobiles, home appliances such as microwave ovens, and so on. Maybe they finally realized that their televisions weren't selling as well as they had hoped they would on the American market, and the company never got as far as producing FP TVs. Just as well. If they
had stayed in the TV business long enough to make FPs, the sets would have been the same throwaway junk as are their CRT televisions.
