Brand preference and ...

Just curious to see what people's brand preferences are, and if there was one brand they tend to look for when they're buying electronics? I was also curious to see if there was any brands that you tend to stay away from, or have had bad experiences with? I had a 26in LG monitor that only lasted me 1 year, so I was a little timid of purchasing that brand, but so far my LG cellphone has worked well (crosses fingers).

my brand preference is technics for turntables , vestax for mixers , ortofon for needles

Its not really about brand preference. When I buy a pruduct I do lots of research with reviews, and going in to forums and reading what other people's experience have been with said pruduct. It all just comes down on who makes the better product for what your looking for. Dell is a good brand though, I dont even own a dell monitor, but I have always heard good things about them.

I've got some brands I tend to favour more than others

Asus and Corsair for PC parts

Ilyama and Viewsonic for monitors

Sony and Panasonic for general electronics

There are other companies I'd like to buy stuff from but they're generally out of my price range, like Lynn for audio gear for instance

I do always check reviews and write ups for anything I'm buying and I'm not in anyway hooked on any one company, you wouldn't think it from my PC in my sigthough ;)

I also prefer different electronics for different divisions. For instance, I prefer Sony, or Toshiba for my tvs, but for car audio I prefer Kenwood, or Alpine. I think if you have a positive experience early on from a certain company, then you tend to stick with that company, which leads to brand loyalty. It also back fires when you have a negative experience. I had a 26in LG monitor that only lasted one year, then just decided to quit. So I tend to shy away from LG electronics, although my LG cellphone has worked fine so far.
