BF2S Forums First World Problems

i think monitor manufacturing is just a shitshow of poor QC. panels are of hugely varying quality, often shipped with 'bad pixels', etc.

like in audio, there's been a trend of chinese OEM brands offering giant screens with insane specs (retina-frying 1337 gam0r 240Hz refresh rates, etc.) at 1/4 the price of quality monitors from established brands like Dell, and so on. the understanding being that they'll last about 2 years and you are SOL on any warranty claims.

i went with a trusted manufacturer on that basis but still ran into shitty quality control. and the internet is full of complaints about the usual suspects like Samsung, who drove ahead with curved monitor technology and have dealt with lots and lots of returns.

i'm guessing there's relatively few top-tier panel manufacturing facilities and something similar to CPU binning takes place where the 'premium' brands get the pristine ones. but who knows.

those chinese cars look like great value for money tbh. and leagues ahead of darling brands like Tesla in quality and fittings.

i could actually maybe be persuaded to give a shit about automobiles for the first time in my life if they started releasing attractive city hatchbacks again. i do not want an urban SUV.
