While it does have the appeal of decent value for the money you pay, Samsung has yet to reach Sony's appeal in many areas of its product line and company policy; its products are good, but they have yet to qualify as premium, or top of the line. Is it maybe because they're affordable? Does price really change the way people think about the value of objects, or products in this case? Maybe so... but take a look, the article is an interesting read.
