A'hem. Those are being primarily made in the Pacific Rim...mostly China...as well. No HDTVs are made in the U.S. at all, to my knowledge.
The general rule of thumb nowadays, is that once a new idea comes up from the U.S., it immediately is sent for manufacture to the Pacific Rim, skipping the U.S. as a producer altogether.
That is the main philosophy of smart management now preached. Those managers who cling to U.S. manufacturing preferences are derided as "out-dated".
I should have said, 'cellphones and HDTV's weren't enough'.
You are so right.
