Apparently, some of the more obsessed laptop geeks have a habit of picking their machines apart to find model numbers printed on the display assembly. That's how Dell was caught sourcing different displays in some laptop models at different production runs. It was that story that made me browse for the display manufacturers directly. I know I checked LG/Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Acer and Sony. I also checked a few Taiwanese and Korean factories whose names I can't recall. I sort of gave up when I couldn't find _any_ 14"-15" screens specifying either IPS/*VA panel technology or at least 8 bit colour depth. To my knowledge, the 17" panel I mentioned in another post is actually the only one with documented 8 bit colour depth. I spent my lunch break today trying to find laptops carrying this display, and the only one I found was HP's 8730w with DreamColor display option (at a horrible price...).
