Samsung: "Cheap LCDs = Cheap LCDs"
Samsung attended this year's FPD International 2005
where they were expressing concern that the gap between the high-end and low-end LCDs is widening. With the lowering of retail prices across the board it is hard for them to compete with new advances. Samsung
is saying that their new lower cost LCDs are going to have a wider viewing angle, faster response times, and better color. (I hope that better color is achieved through better blacks!)
This is good for the consumer but bad for all those jobs across the Pacific. Some people will still buy the entry level Westinghouse or Norcent
(check out the pic after that link, great way to show off the TV if you sit to the side of it), but most, at least I hope, will go for the slightly higher in price but a much better quality Samsung or Sharp.
I know that I would and hope that you would too. Right?
