Samsung says iTV can’t compete because TV is about picture quality

Chris Moseley, Samsung:

“We’ve not seen what they’ve done but what we can say is that they don’t have 10,000 people in R&D in the vision category… They don’t have the best scaling engine in the world and they don’t have world renowned picture quality that has been awarded more than anyone else…TVs are ultimately about picture quality. Ultimately. How smart they are…great, but let’s face it that’s a secondary consideration. The ultimate is about picture quality and there is no way that anyone, new or old, can come along this year or next year and beat us on picture quality… So, from that perspective, it’s not a great concern but it remains to be seen what they’re going to come out with, if anything.”

Riiiiight. Because Apple is notorious for poor display quality. Mmhmm.
