LG panels are widely used by Dell, HP and others. Even HP's DreamColor
display, a reference-quality display for the high-end post production
market, uses an LG panel (reportedly the LM240WU5).

All well and good. But on this group, you well know that Dell, HP
and others are considered "inferior" to Apple. I honestly don't know
if you philosophised that in the past, and have now changed your tune
as so many here do. That is why the news has been kept so quiet
here. If Lucky Goldstar was considered to be a "premiere" company,
you can bet the MacFreaks it would have been trumpeting it from the
roof tops. So far, everything is very quiet.

Are you saying that you now consider Dell, HP and others as good as
Apple?


It depends what products you're talking about. Displays? Dell's
higher-end (the ~$700) 24" models are great. I've talked them up several
times over the last few years in this group. I have one on my desk at
home and bought two for the office.

HP... well, the HP DreamColor is a revolutionary product in its market
segment. I'm not really familiar with HP's other display offerings.

As far as general quality issues, Dell and HP actually don't tend to use
lower quality components in similarly priced systems. The quality issues
mostly stem from the fact that they also make lower cost systems (that
some of Apple's detractors like to pretend are equivalent to higher cost
Macs) and from things that aren't directly related to the quality of
internal components, like physical build quality (cheap cases, poor
internal layout, flexing when plugging things into ports, etc.),
hardware/software integration (which they can't control because they get
their OS from an outside vendor), and inconsistency of components across
similarly specced machines of the same model.
