Cheap TV Brands

[Monseratto]

Like other Japanese brands before like Sanyo, Sharp, Sansui, Kenwood, JVC, Pioneer. Akai etc... na iwanan ng panahon when they stuck to old tech and are expensive. And when cheap brands from SKorea and followed by China started surpassing the Japanese offerings in tech, final nail in the coffin for Japanese electronic industry.

i miss the quality and reliability of Sony. i used to have a bunch of sony clie PDAs back when there were no smartphones yet, cybershot U-series and T-series. a sony hdd camcorder w/ night vision, got to make blair witch type videos haha. had a sony-ericsson T68i, mobile internet on your PDA via bt to the phone over super-slow GPRS

what's sony doing these days? i think it's just playstation and cameras

Yup, back then Sony = quality and reliability. I was surprised nga some time in 2010s my ex told me that their Sony TV was problematic and it's not reliable/quality anymore considering the high price. That's the reason why I never bought Sony TV na and got Samsung instead then Sharp.

I then tried Hisense (China) as recommended here. It lasted a long time na rin. Now I got the Coocaa, we'll see if it's just as good as Hisense.

The better models (hence more expensive) are sold in Japan. Sony still makes a lot of consumer appliances (TVs, BD players, audio equipment, laptops, cameras and of course game consoles). But a lot of manufacturers in other countries have also caught up, for cheaper. Plus most consumers are happy with "good enough" and "for the price".

Problem with old TVs are you can't plug anything HD. Everything nowadays use HDMI cables.

shopee and lazada appear to be good sources of adaptors of many types.
if there is a significant number of costumers looking for it, it will be manufactured.
heh heh.

I have a few of those but was never really happy with the picture or sound quality.
If you're serious about old formats I recommend getting a RetroTink.
