So I recently heard a buyer at Fry's mention to a friend of mine - "There are over 67 brands of LCDs out there!"
I almost fell out of my chair!! Can it be - I thought that only three screen manufacturers were out there!!! It seems that there's a whole new crop of bad boys out there trying to leverage themselves as the next best thing. I went to Cnet and saw a number of them reviewed - they consider Dell, Syntax, Kreisen, Panasonic etc... all as manufacturers.
If all the screens are made by LG, SamSung and ??Hitachi?? then - WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? Do the electronics inside really make that much difference in contrast? Black Levels? Color temprature??? etc.... if they do - then by God, TWEAK THEM so they're the same as the $6000 Sony!
What's the deal?
