Rumor: Dell Getting Out of Branded TV Biz

The Chicago Tribune is citing a Dell insider with word that the electronics manufacturer is preparing to exit the LCD TV business.

While Dell representatives quickly denied the report, the Tribune says four insiders have confirmed that the company will stop production on LCD TVs under its own brand this month. Dell will, however, continue to sell TVs from other manufacturers.
