Phillips Exits U.S. Market

Phillips is feeling the pinch that most panel makers are getting hit with. The cross branding of the same panels should have been a heads up for most that its a market where only a few can succeed. Usually either the ultra-high end or the cheapest of cheap. The Phillips brand with be taking the later is it will not be outsourced by producer Funai who follows the philosophy of "cheaper is better; the cheapest guy at walmart = king".
Funai can be found in a lot of black friday ads for television sets and dvd players at big blue and white, or as I personally like to call it "the mothership" (see: trailer park expansions).
