It pretty much happens to every manufacturer, except some who have no records of doing so. By means of "lottery" panels.
I don't believe these companies, though don't take my word for it, are using bait-and-switch tactics but do still use other panels:
- SONY
- Sharp
- Panasonic
- Vizio
Obvious companies doing bait-and-switch.
- Samsung ( http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1178897 ) Pretty much every model is under the panel lottery to a certain extent.
- LG ( IPS vs *VA)
