There may be others in the audio and video market but none can beat a sony would you agree?
Rhiannon asked:
The only area where they beat a sony is in the pricing department but hey even in that they fail because a sony is ahead of them when it come to pricing their products . I came up with this question because recently there is talk that sony now survives only by its brand name as it now faces tough competitors from Korea and you know whom im talking about

Yeah, I agree sony is pretty good. They seem to have made a vast range of electronics from cameras to TVs to computers, and they have been pretty successful. I recently got a sony projector and it is just amazing… you can never go wrong with sony.
Samsung has some darn good LCD TVs. I plan on buying a Samsung 32 inch LCD in a few months.
I think in TVs, at least, you can find just as good for cheaper.
Sony used to be an innovator and make good quality products.
That was in the past.
Their quality has become shoddy. Cameras, camcorders, tvs, laptop batteries, all have had major product recalls in the last couple of years.
Sony does not even make their own LCDs. They are made in a joint venture with Samsung.
They increasingly depend on proprietary designs that force people into buying their widgets to upgrade (memory stick, PS2 flash memory, etc.).
They are cruising on their reputation which degrades over time.
Samsung will eventually put them out of their misery.
I agree with the third answer and it’s really more than opinion
if you read the business journals. I’ll give Sony their due on tvs -
in fact I have a Sony 42″ hd Wega and it’s great but I got it for
a really good price $800 off what it normally sold for – otherwise
for full price, I would have gotten another brand. But, when it
comes to their audio products, I think they are over priced and
just average. The fact is, when it comes to audio, their last
hooray was the Walkman
where plasma /lcd tv’s are concerned both pioneer and panasonic are both better than sony and i would place my lg (a korean set) alongside any sony for comparison and i beleive it would give the sony a run for its money-whilst they do make good tv’s they are nothing special by any stretch of the imagination. (the trinitron was innovative-but those days are long gone i’m afraid) in the audio department saying their last hurrah was the walkman was a bit harsh i thought (but funny though) as sony do make some very impressive surround sound amps/systems.
Sony does have the best LCD projection TV available today (SXRD). Their LCD flat panels are also very good, but not necessarily superior to others. They were never competitive in plasma, and I think they have stopped making them. I have always had good luck with Sony products, both TVs and video cameras.
i would agree to some degree that sony still make some of the best video although companies like samsung and hitachi are very close behind and at better prices… but i would disagree about them being a leader in audio…they are far behind in that department … they try and add convienient features but their audio equipment does not compare well at all to manufacturers like yamaha, pioneer, bose and harmon kardon
Sony is good but Sansui is better !!!
