    Welcome to MSE :j

    Possibly made by Vestel in Turkey, no better or worse than any other budget brand I would assume. Interestingly, they also make some cheaper TVs for Hitachi and Toshiba...

    I contacted the MSE team earlier this evening so it shouldn't be too long before the user name is amended.;)

    I'm pretty sure Comag and Silvercrest are the same company, they tend to use Boca and Comag brand names in Germany and the Silvercrest name in France. Lidl import both here.

    I don't think they manufacture anything themselves though, for example the Silvercrest/Comag sat receivers are manufactured by OpenTel in Korea and the Silvercrest DVD players are manufactured by Sampo in China/Taiwan.

    I would still guess Vestel for the TVs, they seem to be responsible for most of the cheap ones around now...
