Not strictly correct, not all the Sony's uses Samsung panels and even
those that do use Sony's electronics which is what makes the
difference.

Most use Samsung panels, and use the driver logic. The power supply
circuitry, tuner and peripheral control may be different. However, fed
with digital video via HDMI or DVI, the signal path is identical.

In terms of reliability its:

Sony
Panasonic
Samsung

I have to say that I've had and heard of far more Sony panels dying or
becoming faulty than either Panasonic or Samsung.


but, if as you say the panels and driver circuitry are identical, how do
you account for that? Perhaps you have more friends who have Sony sets?

I remember, when colour first started, Which? had a survey of reliability
of sets. In that survey, HMV were very unreliable while Ferguson were
quite reliable. Since the electronics were identical, I was puzzled how
they could come to that conclusion. It transpired that this was a
readership survey, in which only 2 people had paid the extra for the wooden
cased HMV (rather than the plastic cased Fergusson) and one of these had a
set which developed a fault. Not the msot reliable statistics. Are yours
equally reliable?
