If you must know, Phillips is not considered one of the top brands in
the U.S.

Yeah, they must be trolls.

You said it, not me.

Oh no? ROFLMAO! Who do you think first developed LED bulbs? Here's a
hint: it wasn't Phillips.

Hint:

The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 authorized the
Department of Energy (DOE) to establish the Bright Tomorrow Lighting
Prize competition, known as the "L Prize".

On 3 August 2011, DOE awarded the prize in the 60 W replacement category
to a Philips' LED lamp after 18 months of extensive testing.

Yes, but they did not develop the LED bulb. You obviously are not
reading, and arguing for argument's sake.

Neither inventing nor developing something is worth a lot unless you can
actually manufacture it. Witness the failure of the Wright Bros. airplane
company.

Nope. There is no analog TV in the United States.

Tell that to the FCC who is allowing analog stations until Septempber,
2015.
