Umm, unless I am extremely mistaken, neither does Samsung. I thought they were both outsourced to somewhere in the SE area of the country. But, as the saying goes, it's whats on the inside that counts . Out of the box, the VERY general consensus is that Sony has the edge of sharpness and Sammy has the edge on color. However, this is WITHOUT changing the settings AT ALL. Once everything is calibrated and dialed in to your liking, I think the Sony will pull ahead.
Sony and Samsung have both invested in S-LCD which is a huge 8G plant in Korea IIRC.
TMK, Samsung makes Sony LCD panels. At least they used to. I know for a fact that my 2 year old 32" Sony LCD TV uses a Samsung LCD panel. I took off the back cover and there was a SAMSUNG sticker on the back of the LCD panel.
I can hardly begin to say how much better the Sony sets are than the Samsungs. Sure Samsung makes the panels for both Samsung and Sony, but the CCFL's, calibration, build, and quality control on the panel selection of Sony is far better. Especially if you go for the XBR units.
Samsungs are fine and all, but Sony mops the floor in terms of calibrated picture quality. Sony XBR LCD's are second to none. Especially as you get into bigger panel territory.
I still have YET to see a better picture than my 32" Sony XBR on a 32" 720p set. There was good reason I chose it when I did.

You will pay a premium for a Sony for a slightly sharper picture. The Samsungs are very good sets for the price. Several people here have bought them and love them.
Samsung DOES NOT make Sony LCD. They do in PSP but Sharp also does it. Sony owns their own plant and produce their own LCD. The Sony BRAVIA line that is the 40" and above is better in every LCD HDTV in the market today. I have owned them both.

Read the posts please. Samsung and Sony have a joint venture in a LCD plant. This is fact.
