Thanks for that. They strongly recommend DVI in that article. The stuck red pixel they show there would be pretty annoying.

Yea, as I said, it was my fault. I couldn't be bothered returning it overseas, as I personally didnt mind the dead pixels.

CMV is a manufacture of it self, I'm 100% sure. They are set on tiny city in taiwan, full name is Chi Mei Corporation. PolyView is a rebranding of CMV though. They entered the market pretty late, despite the high costs. Their biggest shareholder being the richest (or one of) in Taiwan. Same guy as the one who operated the company that later became the world's biggest maker of ABS plastic. Under his direction of manufacting many other goods, not only with plastic and LCDS, was to slash prices to the bare minimum they could handle, hence gaining market shares, before increasing once again. They are in this process right now with LCD panels, hoping to take over Samsung in the next few (2 I think they said.. not sure) years as the world's biggest producer.

281584 2004-10-17 04:53:00 CMV as you say are a manufactruer but they are not cheap because they want to be number 1,the reality is that all manufacturers over produced and prices have fallen to reflect demand,CMV over produced by more then all the other manufacturers combined and are dumping stock worldwide and look to be on very shaky ground,their losses could amount to 100's of millions.If they can move enough stock they may reduce the predicted loss and not go bankrupt this year.....

Thats a long way from being number 1.....

Where did you get that information from?

There's no hint of imminent bankruptancy in this article
CHI MEI news (www.taipeitimes.com)
and here it's claimed CHI MEI market share is 35%
LCD market share (www.dealerinfo.nl)

though I did find an article where the French govt was suing them for infinging LCD patents.
LCD patents (www.detnews.com)

No sign of bankruptancy here either
CHI MEI profit (www.etaiwannews.com)

Ha! What a suprise! Metla posts straight after me yet again!

You come up with so much non-sense just to put me down . There is no way that the shareholders of CMV can go bankrupt . They are recording record profits!

And didn't you sell beetle a CMV? If what you said above is right, then no good PC seller would sell anything they believe is 'shaky'

Can I ask that you leave me alone instead of correcting every post I make? Go find other kids to hunt on . . .

281587 2004-10-17 05:41:00 The losses will be on next years fininacial report,Market share is meaningless without profit,other then that you expect to find real facts in a companies own propaganda?

Like i said,prices are plummiting due to oversupply,And CMV have a big big stockpile.

Wait 2.3 weeks and then buy an LCD,the last round of price cuts are due about then.

Wheres the evidence? Your saying it merely to correct me, right?

"No fact is any good without proof"

281589 2004-10-17 05:50:00 To be honest SY i take next to no notice of who posted what or when, However if you want to get personal then fine but don't expect me to play your game.

And wise up,Any company can make bad desisions and get into finiacial strife,Will they go under?...i doubt it they have big pockets and are in panic mode to minimise loss.

And pray tell,when did i say CMV made shakey products?,they make very good units and Beetles screen is covered by a 3 year single pixel policy,which would be honoured no matter what the fate of CMV.

And certainly you can ask that i do not post after you,Makes no difference to me what you ask,But be prepared to be corrected when you are niave and misinformed.
