I have a 2013 40" Sony LED/LCD in the bedroom good picture ofc it has a Samsung
S-PVA panel contrast measured 4750:1 calibrated on ANSI checkerboard black is .022 cd/m2 not bad for an LCD.
The big set here is a 2013 Samsung Plasma . Have owned Sony Trinitrons (3 ) in the past all good sets for me
one lasted 14 yrs another 12 both still worked when I gave them away other one lasted 11 yrs .


Sony TV is now now an owned subsidiary of Sony inc. Foxconn makes most of the US
and Canadian products for them ofc. Sony designs them and specifies the B.O.M .
Presumably with less management and financial overhead as a subsidiary they can be more efficient and more responsive to the market place some recent new models like the 1080p 60" W630B,the best buy exclusive (for now) W700B 50,55," and new R3/R4 32" to 48" wall mart and B.B. sets seem to indicate they are becoming more competitive in the sub $1100 ,and sub $500.00 price ranges now.
