@William,
You may also know that Samsung makes most of the component for the iPad. But that doesn't mean the Samsung Galaxy is better than the iPad.
It is not about who makes the best LED TFTs' but the best television. Hmm, that an odd statement. You aware 90% of that TV is LED? A LED TFT is now a commodity anyone from Samsung, LG and Foxconn can make.
A lot go into buying a product so you have a point. That said, what sell apple stuff is software and packaging, every other hard work is done by others. That doesn't apply to TV. You just have a brand and electronics. As for LED being a commodity, I am going to disagree. They have most of the patents, economy of scale and best quality. This being a high capital industry, that's not going to change soon and should be a little scarcely. Why do you think apple is stuck with them despite the strained relationship? That shouldnt happen with a commodity. I will concede to being wrong if apple manage to avoid them completely in the next three years William
