Well, I must strongly disagree. They are more like the Lamborghini of the AV industry: the stuff they make looks perfect, and under the hood it's even better. Their TVs have an architecture more akin to a PC than a TV set: they use modular plug-in cards and each TV set is always built for a specific customer, with the features he chooses (internal DVR, internet access, satelite/terrestial/cable digital twin and single tuners). Even after the initial purchase you can decide that you want to add some features and what you do is simply go to the shop and say that you want an additional feature installed - and a technician arrives with the neccessary plug-in card. Add to that, the service mode is accessable by the customer so he can fine-tune the set precisely the way he wants (disabling and enabling the enhancing systems as he sees fit, changing the LCD color calibration and so on). So, basicly, it's not like Apple Inc. at all.
