I just think LG and Samsung cornered the lower end market really well and that put them in good stead in the long run. most people i know that look for a good quality but cheap tv tend to go for an LG or Toshiba (in UK), and they got people in that mindset so when they see these more expensive TV's with LG on they think "well the cheaper telly i bought was good quality so this must be too" and shell out for it.
