For years you could buy 'Store Brand' TV's and electronics. Opening a Sam's(tm), you discovered: Many only had a 'Trim' change (the circuit was 100% identical). Some, did have small circuit or component changes (Sears, Radio Shack... versions), but for most purposes--the same item.
This is neither bad, nor good. |
These subtle differences would be done to prevent price-matching at different retailers. Normally price-matching requires identical SKUs, so by having different trim they are no longer the same device.
