12.1.2009Dell Exits LCD TV Business
Dell Incorporated has
announced that it will exit
the LCD television business:
the company will end
production of its LCD
televisions by the end of this
June. Dell currently sells LCD
televisions in the U.S., Japan
and other smaller markets.
Dell entered the television
business back in 2003 in an
effort to turn itself into an
electronics company and not
just one that focused on
computers. Dell itself does
not manufacture any of its LCD
televisions and instead buys
them from OEMs in Asia. Since
their launch several years
ago, Dell LCD televisions have
been popular with the general
public because of their
features to price balance.
