Respondents in TFC Info's latest flat panel brand strength report rank Sony, Panasonic, and Samsung as offering best price as an investment; Vizio, Viewsonic, and LG as best value
TFC Info, a worldwide leader in AV market research, has announced the completion of their annual flat panel display brand benchmarking study of experienced users and purchasers in business and entertainment. The study explores buyer awareness, customer perception, and how these perceptions affect potential customers' purchase and price decisions for flat panel brands in the US market.

"We know that most organizations and households have limited budgets - especially in these times, however, if your brand is known as 'expensive,' that will still be positive if it is seen as a good investment," states Tanya Lippke, TFC Info manager of survey market research. 89% of respondents in this research state that price (as a best investment) is an extremely or very important purchasing factor that they consider. On the opposite extreme, 'cheap' is not necessarily good, however, 'inexpensive' can be linked in the consumers mind with a good value at entry level brand."

TFC Info's Latest Flat Panel End User Study Reveals Pent Up Demand
TFC Info, the worldwide leader in AV market research, recently completed a flat panel end user survey that analyzes perceptions and preferences for LCD and plasma displays.

TFC Info found that price is not as significant as many believe and that there are other major factors driving LCD dominance currently. TFC Info discovered that customer perceptions are major factors in determining whether to purchase LCD or plasma displays. Interestingly some of these perceptions are outdated and pertain to issues that have already been addressed by manufacturers, but manufacturers have not yet been able to change customer perceptions. "These issues are different between professional and consumer buyers," stated Tanya Lippke, TFC Info Manager of Survey Market Research. "That is why it was so important that we looked at and dissected both current and future purchasers of flat panel displays for professional and consumer market segments. This allowed us to analyze some complex angles that will help our customers to address these problems."
