Aaaah - Please tell me this A, C & S Panel Hype is NOT TRUE!

Feb 2, 2009 9:17AM PST

This thread is directed at the Samsung HD Tech. I have literally been going out of mind reading all the controversy surrounding this issue of inferior panels with the codes A or C on the back of the LCD TV's. I thought I was 100% sure that I wanted a Samsung TV, the LN40A550 to be exact, but now I feel even more confused then ever. The internet is both such a curse and a blessing of info so I'm hoping this is all just some silly hoax that some unhappy person started and it spread like wildfire.

So do the A & C codes actually been "Samsung" didn't make the panel and it is a much lesser quality product?
