Sony LCD's quality about to be dragged down a bit in quality with today's announcement of Merger with Toshiba and Hitachi for LCD screen production? Well that will remain to be seen but I'd expect some sort of decline in the quality of Sony Badged TV's once merger is completed in 2012 based on the lower standards already displayed by Toshiba and Hitachi. This in fact could very well have an effect across the entire market and production of all LCD manufacturing companies for Brands like Samsung, Sharp, Panasonic, etc....will no longer have to work as hard to keep up or stay above the Sony brand any longer. Again, this will remain to be seen but I'm hedging on the side of this merger not being a good thing for the consumer in the long run.
Better buy your Sony TV's now...Sony just merged with Toshiba and Hitachi

News flash. I used to work as a rep for Sony and although their flat panels offer excellent PQ, their quality control is far from outstanding. I've never seen more equipment come back when I sold their car audio line and their home products aren't much better. Toshiba on the other hand, has always been pretty dependable. Combing Sony's technology with better quality control will hopefully provide the consumer with a better over all product.

Small and medium size means 10" and below.
With all these focus on tablet and smartphones, the industry better hope this segment will remain strong next 5 years.

I don't understand the purpose of your thread .. what you state is pure speculation, based on no information since nothing has been produced .. quality could just as well improve ..

Gooooooooo TEAM!!!
... This picture makes me smile. Don't know why.
We need a statistics sheet tracking QC and product quality after big mergers. Doesn't it help quality sometimes?

The purpose of my thread was to make the consumer aware to keep an eye out for the "posibility" of an even further decline in the quality of an already floundering Sony Brand due in part to this merger. Purely speculation is exactly right and I've made no mystery of that fact with the statement "will remain to be seen"- no hidden agenda-no nothing for you detectives out there looking for the secret message here, there just isn't one, it's just a damn post. Yes, it is also quite possible the merger could result in a better product-better quality control being achieved also...but I (personally) wouldn't bet on it.

No newsflash to me, I've been fully aware of Sony's decline in Product, Service, Quality Control and Warranty areas for more than a Decade now. The last Sony product I purchase was an AM/FM/CD player that was sold when I got rid on my 1986 Firebird and BTW that deck was junk too.

If Sony sells "Sony Picture" to another company , do you think that would affect Sony's TV division ?
Sony Mobile Display does not manufacture anything for Sony's TV division and they don't share plants or personnel. I really don't know why you should worry about this.

You can't write either, but what the heck; I'll try to answer in words you can understand.
The way it reads, your headline: Better buy your Sony TV's now...Sony just merged with Toshiba and Hitachi infers that either there won't be three separate companies (very untrue) or that Sony TVs will not be made by Sony any more (also untrue). That totally conflicts with the actualities:
* Sony is not merging with Toshiba and Hitachi; just their small LCD panel division.
* Sony doesn't make that great a TV to begin with.
* Sony doesn't even use all of their own LCD panels - some TV models use Sharp panels.
* If you had bothered to actually read the article, you would have noticed "Toshiba, Hitachi and Sony are set to pool their small-panel liquid-crystal-display businesses into a new company".
There's no need to get mad at us for pointing out the fallacy of your post.
