Worst electronic company and why

[n2casey]

Every company has some good & bad features/services/products. It's just like the two faces of a coin. So, we can't blame a single company. If someone is blaming one, others can have good service from it & if someone has good service from one, others can blame it.

I don't have any complaints for any company.

dunno why, but i have a strong dislike for all korean manufacturers, be it LG, or Samsung .
As for Sony,hmm...considering they overprice, i agree. But their quality is much better compared to the rest in other electronic items like TVs and MusicSystems.
I got a bigger hatelist abt software vendors i hat

samsung.Their products are a real crap.

The only Sony product worth buying is T.V. (now that is bit cheaper). I like Samsung Hard Disk but hate Cd/Dvd players.

I disagree with you drvarunmehta. I till now believed that and will ever believe that SONY products are THE BEST.. I says this to all.. if Sony puts its logo(genuine only) on anything(yes anything)..I'm ready to buy..thatz well I trust it. I own a DRU 810A DVD RW and its great. My frnds own alot of sony prdcts are they rock. Pricing...ya u need to shell out money from its brand..thatz some what pain...but no pain..no gain.

I work for one of the worlds leading PC maker. we use alot of samsung monitors. I can bet they are very gud. rest all products from Samsung are a crap(HDD/optical drives/FDD..).

I'll go first.

I hate Sony

1. They overprice everything assuming people don't know that you can get the same product at a fraction of their price elsewhere eg. Vaio laptops.
2. They shove proprietory cr@p down our throats. It started with Betamax continued with the UMD for PSP's and is going on now with Blu-Ray.
3. They introduced Memory Stick when we already had good enough and cheaper flash memory in the form of SD and MMC cards. They are forcing people who buy Sony products to fork over even more money for MS because they don't support any other format.
4. They don't even want people to make a single backup of their audio CD's so they put a rootkit in them.
5. They take Liteon/BenQ burners, rebadge them, remove features (quality scanning) and then overprice it.

Then u should hate apple even more for the same reason , use our hardware use our os no assembling freedom, drm sh*it music for ipods, overpriced pc's laptops, keep what we give u and just shut up consumer, be happy that u own a apple product because the whole package is good even if u dont need certain features, and it comes with 'free' (hehe) software even if u dont need it.

Well i don't particularly hate any company , but i hate/love following companies for :

Samsung - Love Excellent Displays , hate each and every single optical drive(Worst possible optical drives ever). Never tried hdd's and other stuff.

LG - avg optical drives , hate the displays (contrast is not upto the mark, really bad performance no match to samsung, even lcd's of similar price to samsung have worse specs , lie high response times)

Sony - Very good optical drives with very good performance(have been using from years, personally no prbos faced ever), TV's are good. Love PS2/camcorders, like sony ericcson phones too . Hate nothing i can think of currently(if PS3 fails it will be here).


Apple - Love ipod , hate every thing else(no flames , my personal opinion).

Even I used to think that Sony was the best and fell into the trap.Well,I had bought a MHC-GX2000 in 2000 and I had stupid problems ever since,the belts on the deck had to be changed every 6 months,then gears,buttons,etc kept failing,cd kept skipping after 3years or so,radio wud not catch stereo channels and wudnt tune......I have spent so much on maintaince till date that I wud've bought a new 5.1 speaker system.BUT I have to admit why Sony is the best that's CLARITYthat's just unparalleled.Trust me I have listened to many systems but none as real as a Sony.

AlsoHad very good experience with Samsung Monitors...used 3 of them (viz.,955DF,793MB and 940BW) and all of them are very good

XFX is crap as one of the FX cards I bought in 2003 for my Girlfriend screwed for no reason although she's not a gamer and didnt stress the card.Moreover then they had just 1 year warranty.
