Strangely, it's not manufactured by Philips, and I don't know why it says UK on the label. The manufacturer is almost certainly Chunghwa (CPT) of Taiwan. Did they have a factory in the UK? The TV set itself was made in Poland.

EDIT: apparently, they produced picture tubes in Glasgow up until 2004 then went into insolvency and ended in 2015. According to glassdoor they were still taking job applicants in 2012 but they already wound down operations. Possibly they had a sales office for their LCD products.The Taiwanese mother company still exists. Also see https://find-and-update.company-info...589/insolvency
