Im not competing in the 42V Bro. Just the 50V because umaangal si Wife na 42V20 yung sa Pasig while 50V2 yung sa Tokyo. So it would be much appreciated if a good 50VT30 would be left for the Wife...hehehe
Made In Thailand - not really OK to the Japanese, but they have no choice now because all models are made in Thailand. Anyhow, same same situation as Sony (except for the new 4K 84 inch Ultra HD - DAW - made to order nga this Ultra HD because walang stocks), and the after-sales support is of course still Japanese standard. Besides, those top of the line models from the major players (WHICH INCLUDE THE VT - hehehe) look absolutely awesome - so the actual manufacturing locations should not be a bother as long as strict quality control is maintained. R&D remains in Japan of course, especially sa panel tech and video engine. Sharp will have no choice but to stop producing TVs within their cutting-edge Tateyama Plant. Yen is too expensive and so is the cost of labor.
