    They often use own electronics when rebranding too.
    Panasonic stopped making their own sets earlier this year and now use LG & Sharp with their own electronics.

    I remember reading (If its still the case) that Sharp are actually the biggest producer of screens but you would never know it.

    It's also worth remembering that although they are re branded and one may be £50 more than the other the experience and quality of picture you get can still vary from set to set due to as said above differing electronics but most of all they will have different firmware/OS e.t.c

    There are only a handful of LCD manufacturers in the world for all the major brands. The majority are Samsung or LG panels with other companies internals. These "other internals" can improve responsiveness (faster CPU/memory), the OS (Firefox, Android their own). It can even be down to ports and the quality of the connectors used. USB levels, wifi, The glass/plastic used on the front and how much it reduces glare. Power saving features, the list is endless.

    To put it into perspective if you are not happy with the sound in your car stereo you don't usually need to spend a fortune on a head unit to get good sound - it's down to the speakers. Spend more and get more (usually).

    Hi
    Nearly all cheap TV's are Vestel, this includes Bush, Alba, sharp, toshiba and all those types but Vestel in Turkey manufacture a lot of screens for bigger brand TV's also to cut cost. Cheaper Samsungs and Finlux and literally hundreds of brands are acually made or include screens from Vestel, including 4k curved etc. http://vestelinternational.com/en/corporate/vestel-group/

    I used to repair tv's and this has always been the case.
    Its rare to find a tv with the manufacturer using 100% own parts.

    Aviod bush and alba at all costs both are unreliable crap and will fail after 12-24 months.
    Where as the technica from Tesco seem to be more reliable than most cheaper sets.

    If if you are buying a new tv I strongly suggest reading reviews from owners.

    Yes they are but components are not the same as you would find in bush models.

    Hi
    Not according to Vestel, they say thay make panels for sharp, maybe not all.
    Sorry I cannot post link to other forum but AV forums have a big section on it. Vestel also make for Panasonic.

    I know only a few companies make the screens themselves, but don't Phillips make panels?

    I suppose the theory is a bit like having a decent monitor and a shit pc. Or a shit screen and a top end graphics card. What pisses me off about TVs these days is the fucking shite speakers, if any at all.

    Lost in the dream for curved, flat screens I guess.
