While i can see your points and generally agree with them, the colorful desktop background warning is not something i would give a warning about.
We (those who work in gfx field) make massive use of full screen mode (PS, AI) and/or use unified colorless chrome (FW, ID, AE, LR, Fl etc) so what’s on the virtual desk is irrelevant. You are not going to see it anyway *while* working.
Anyway, i like my desk colorful

Ah yes, I can see how that reads back to front. I think Apple do use Samsung parts (old news from what I hear), and that’s how I meant it to come across.

@David → Hmm, not that I recall, however I do believe that Samsung is the world largest manufacturer of LEDs, so maybe its Apple using Samsung parts?? I’ve got my eye on one of the newly released 27″ iMacs, although there’s no Firewire 400 I don’t think

Hi Andrew,

I was searching around your site to see if it was you who commented on Samsung displays, and how they use the same parts as Apple monitors. Doug of BonFX.com just posted a short piece about Apple, hence my search. Was it your good self? I can’t remember.
