Re: Who Makes Insignia & Dynex TV's for Best Buy?

[kaboom]

Just got the latest Best Buy flyer, Insignia and Dynex tv's at about
half the cost of name brands. Any ideas as to who makes these??

**A friend of mine used to work at Best Buy, she bought one of the
Insignia TVs. She *confided* to me: "You know, they're made by LG, so
they're really good!" Uh huh. I took it with a grain of salt, but
when I read your question, I googled it. Seems like some are made by
LG, but I couldn't find a definitive list. There might be a couple of
manufacturers. I did get many hits that came up with Insignia being
made by LG.

its just a house brand name. so they can go to any OEM they want and
slap the name on it. Just like "realistic" from radio shack.

Yep.
Expect the house brand (especially at Best Buy) to be manufactured
by the lowest, most desparate bidder of the season.
