Hey people, just a quickie. Can anyone give me a concise answer I can pass onto some who's of the opinion that "B&O are just rebranded Samsungs"?

Can you turn up the volume of your Samsung TV please, I can't hear anything, the sound was better on my laptop!

Are the plasma screens panasonic, and the lcd's samsung??  

To answer your post they use panels from other manufacturers that meet there stringent tests and use there own software and bodys 

 

As Panasonic is the last to produce plasma screens and as there are now only 2 (maybe 3) producers of LCD screens in the world, I can't see how B&O could do things differently.

If a TV was just its panel, we would all have PC monitors : it's just a panel without complex electronics, and it's cheap...

Tell your friend that for the time being, his Sony is also a Samsung

Moreover, every iPhone is 50% Samsung... thus? The iPhone is another thing... it's not just some hardware... it's a complex thing, a mix between hardware, software, genius, brand, ux interface, ergnomy, etc.

It's the same for a tv. It's the same for every object... you can say that every chair is made of wood... but every chair is different, some chair are really expensive an unique, others are cheap and mass market...

a tv is something that live with you for 10 years... it's not only technology, I've great problem to change my 12 years old Beovision 1...

 

Well, your BeoVision 1 is a rebranded Philips! The picturetube is Philips, and that is the biggest part in your BeoVision 1, so it must be a Philips..... if we start calling the use of parts of a certain brand rebranding than everything you can buy is rebranded!

Obviously it wouldn't be feasible for a small manufacturer to build their own panels. 

 

When I try to explain this stuff to men I refer to cars and ask this question. Does the engine from Dacia have the same performance as Ferrari as they both use Mahle pistons?

Just look at this list from Mahle web page:
