    VT Professor-
    You said, "
    "I referred to them as "crappy" because they are..."

    "At the end of the day, they are decent tvs,"

    I'm sensing confusion on your part.

    The experts seem to disagree, "

    VT Professor-"Vizio and Olevia are crappy TVs."

    Anyone can make a broad brushed statement such as that, a generic catch all when you prefer something else.

    What exactly is it that makes them crappy? If you expound on that allegation with specific facts of features or lack there of it might actually make a convincing statement.

    You've looked at them? So based on a glance in a department store you've concluded they are crappy? Give the readers a little meat on that bone of contention. Tell the readers what makes them crappy and makes Sony and Sharp superior. What technical aspects make them inferior?

    VT Professor-I agree,the Big Three got in trouble because they were bloated and their costs were far higher than the upcoming competition. Sound familiar here? Deja vu all over again.

    Vertical integration , horizontal integration, diagonal integration, the esoteric jargon doesn't change a thing, the end result is the same. Consumers will gravitate to the low cost producers as long as there is no significant loss of quality.The market share captured by Vizio and Olevia, demonstrate that quite clearly. Seems what you're saying is Sony, Sharp, and Samsung might have to change their models to compete.

    The Vizios and Olevia are capturing their market at the expense of the BIG THREE. Say hello to the NEW Honda and Toyota, they're not going to disappear. To suggest this is a temporary phenomenon is to be fooled AGAIN.

    Buy an Olevia and with the savings over a Sony or Sharp grab an X-Box360 too.

    VT Professor,

    Wasn't it the American auto industry that adopted that very same approach decades ago? How has that worked out for them?
