Too bad to be true; I didn't even realize some poor people actually buy monitors from this company on purpose. This company produces the "C" panels that everyone prays they don't get when they buy a Samsung monitor. Samsung is the second largest producer of panels in the world. They outsource to Chi Mei or whatever because it's cheaper and Samsung monitors are in high demand.

I have never used one from Chimei, but it gets a somewhat decent review from this site.

Oh God. CMV TFTs.. The worst piece of garbage panels ever. I used to have one, for a couple of weeks. It was absolute crap and I sold it to a pawn shop. Garbage. I don't care what the reviews say.
