Topic starter

For fans of the "Which" consumer series, I've just added Jan, Feb and November TV reports for 1976. They cover the following:-

18"colour TV's
Reliability reports for all major brands & rentals
How 20" Japanese sets, the largest imported at the time, compared to British and continental sets.

This series now covers 1968 - 1982, however I'm missing and still looking for 1971, 1975, 1977, 1980 & 1981

And as I mentioned previously you can see from the reliability report table that the four most popular brands by far (among Which? subscribers anyway) were Philips, B&O, National (Panasonic) and Grundig in that order.

You may wish to amend the page that says they're under Articles | Early TV Reports then.

A shocking indictment of just how bad our TV industry had become, reading the 1976 report; the danger of captive markets, which explains why American cars are still rubbish (but cheap).
