Usually it’s injection. If you look closely you can generally find where the sprues were trimmed off and see a few nit lines. But it’s also possible to use sheets of thermosetting plastic and fairly large hot molds for some parts.

Yes, it is “Injection Moulding “.
*Plastic casings of televisions and monitors are made of ABS – Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene which is a engineering plastic which can be processed using micro-processor controlled injection moulding machine.

-Injection Moulding along with extrusion ranks as one of the prime processes for producing plastics articles. It is a fast process and is used to produce large numbers of identical items from high precision engineering components to disposable consumer goods.
