LCD tech maturing ?

Kinda hard to look at the bad of a display on a website.

eh?

I presume you mean the back of the display.

Its also kind of hard to look at the manuals from a web site too. Its
probably worth going into one of your local stores and doing a bit of
research there.

Except that the crappy cheap panels drive the decent quality panels out of
the market, making them harder to find and even MORE expensive.

Appart from that is the exact opposite of what is happening at the
moment. The cheaper pannels are helping to subsidise the production of
better pannels. This is coupled with the lack of sales of higher
priced pannels forcing the price down to shif thte stock in order to
produce the newer pannels. This is why the price has dropped so much
recently.

Eventually, yes the good quality pannels will become a tiny niche
market, but thats mostly becuase stupid people thnk that its more
important to have a 3.6 Ghz machine over a 3.4Ghz machine rather than
a cacky old out of calibration display over a clear sharp high quality
unit. But I guess thats because there isn't a 3DMark a display so that
the nerd hardware review web sites can say how display x is so much
better than display y.

The difference isn't whether or not eggs get broken vs LCDs get broken,
it's that the grocery store doesn't try to sell you 12 eggs if one or
more are broken.

They'll either discount it at the till or get you a full dozen.

That's the point.
You can't swap out dead pixels, so you've got to have a really, really low
failure rate.
