Samsung Not Worried About Apple’s TV: “TVs are ultimately about picture quality” (crunchgear?)
In what may, in a couple years, be remembered as a telltale remark of
overconfidence, Samsung’s AV product manager said today in an interview “TVs
are ultimately about picture quality. Ultimately. How smart they are…great,
but let’s face it that’s a secondary consideration.” Pride goeth before a
fall, Samsung! It’s true in a way. But only in the dumbest possible way. Yes,
TVs are about picture quality. _Because that’s all Samsung and Sony and Sharp
have been willing to improve for the last half a century._ As soon as someone
comes along and changes what TVs are “ultimately about,” it’s going to be a
bloodbath. Will it be Apple? I don’t know. But it sure as hell doesn’t look
like it’s going to be Samsung.
