This is just a quick question really to find out what the general feel is around certain brands of hardware. My question is when it comes to hardware and gadgets in the home do you tend to stick with the same brand / manufacturer or do you decide on the actual product you like regardless of who makes it. There are of course advantages to having the same brand, they tend to work well together connecting them up usually will me much easier and they also sport a certain style which will look good all together in the home. The downside of course is that the best model for each gadget or piece of tech is normally from a variety of manufacturers depending on the item. The best TV for you might not be made by the people that make the best A/V reciever for example. Do you get the best of both of get the same brand?

My view is that I have a preference, I have Samsung equipment mainly. I'm not of the opinion that they make the best of everything but I like to have the same brand in the home. Its probably a bit wierd but I guess thats the purpose of the Question.
