When you set foot in an electronics store, you see more brands and models of TVs than you can possibly remember. The savvy TV shopper certainly considers the brand name when shopping for a new TV, whether it’s plasma, LCD, or LED. Some brands are known for top quality TVs, while others are bargain names. The big players in the marketplace, according to market share, are Samsung, Sony, LG, Panasonic, Sharp, and Vizio.

Samsung, the top manufacturer of TVs sold in the U.S., has long been recognized for providing an ideal balance of quality and affordability. A part of the TV manufacturing industry since the early 1970s, today Samsung is the top producer of consumer electronics in the world. The Samsung line includes Plasma, DLP, and LCD TVs, as well as a wide array of other electronic devices. Samsung was one of the first companies to use LED backlighting and 3D technology, continuing the brand’s reputation for innovation.

Founded in 1946, Sony has long been the king of consumer electronics, only recently slipping to second place in the TV market. Sony’s cutting edge TVs include both Plasma and LCD models. Often at the higher end of both quality and price, Sony was among the first to produce a 70” 1080p TV. Sony’s Bravia product line includes the XBR series, incorporating technologies such as 3D functionality and a Sony memory stick reader for the display of content from a Sony digital camera or camcorder.

Founded in 1958, LG was once known for budget electronics on the low end of the quality scale. Since the 1990s, however, the company has become known as some of the most advanced LCD and Plasma TVs on the market. The first to produce both the 71” Plasma and 76” LCD TVs, they also make CRT rear projectors, as well as DLP front and rear projector TVs. Newer models include those with LED backlights or 3D technology. Its high-end models are found in the Infinia line. Known for top-notch quality, most LG products are available at a lower price than comparable models from Samsung and Sony.

Panasonic led both the DTV and HDTV revolutions, and was among the first manufacturers of both HD TVs and those enabling 3D technology. Consistently ranked a top TV brand for both quality and price, Panasonic is best known for Plasma TVs. The full product line also includes CRT, DLP, and LCD front and rear projectors. The Plasma TV line offered by Panasonic includes 42 to 65 inch models; the company is also developing the technology to produce Plasma TVs as large as 150 inches.

Sharp, the oldest company on this list, was founded in 1912. Known for pioneering LCD technology, particularly through the Aquos line of LCD TVs, Sharp focuses primarily on LCD manufacturing and has an unrivaled reputation for quality.

Vizio is a relative newcomer to the TV market, having been founded in 2002. In less than a decade, Vizio has quickly taken market share from established companies, and is now a leading manufacturer of LCD TVs. Known primarily for offering Plasma and LCD models at a low price point, some argue that Vizio TVs are lower quality than those by other leading brands. However, it’s also been said that Vizio offers an ideal balance of quality and price. The upcoming Pro-Series LCD TVs feature the newest technologies that Vizio has to offer.
